I am a woman with many irrational fears.\u00c2\u00a0 And three times as many pet peeves.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/center><\/p>\n

A few of the things I am irrationally afraid of:<\/p>\n

— Driving off of a bridge and into a body of water with the kids in the car.<\/p>\n

— Intestinal parasites that enter through the feet (oddly, I am not afraid of any other intestinal parasites).<\/p>\n

— Kate falling off the slide\/swing set\/stairs\/ladder or whatever else she has climbed up despite being half the size and a quarter of the age requirement.<\/p>\n

— A child running into the street.<\/p>\n

— The attachments to bicycles where kids ride? They are so low that I worry a car won’t see them.<\/p>\n

— Someone breaking in the front of the house and I can’t the kids out of the back of the house fast enough.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/center><\/p>\n

A few things I am irrationally irritated or preoccupied by:<\/p>\n

— Yard chemicals being tracked through the house on shoes.<\/p>\n

— Mud on shoes or clothes getting on bed linens or furniture.<\/p>\n

— Whether or not my pillowcase is causing me to break out.<\/p>\n

— That I’m not diligent enough about the kids’ teeth.<\/p>\n

— Dirty hands.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/center><\/p>\n

Lucky for me, the people in my life tolerate my craziness.\u00c2\u00a0 This means that they generally abide by my crazy rules.<\/p>\n

— No sitting on furniture when you’ve been working outside, until you’ve bathed\/changed clothes.<\/p>\n

— No walking around barefoot outside, especially in rural areas.<\/p>\n

— I have to brush everyone’s teeth.<\/p>\n

— Unlocking the doors when we go over a bridge (one less thing to do if the car flies off).\u00c2\u00a0 When I’m feeling particularly crazy, I also get out the glass punch from the glove compartment and put it down my shirt or in my pocket until we’re off the bridge.<\/p>\n

— Sleeping with one of the kids (sometimes both) when Paul is not around.<\/p>\n

— Strict handwashing.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/center><\/p>\n

I try really hard to not be as crazy as I am.\u00c2\u00a0 In general, I consider myself pretty laid back.\u00c2\u00a0 I’m not afraid of getting dirty, I like mud pies, and have absolutely no problem with getting stains on things (I’m a master remover.)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/center><\/p>\n

Also?\u00c2\u00a0 I love walking in the rain.<\/p>\n
