here it is
1-I was Terrified of Lunch period growing up. I was afraid that I wouldn’t have anyone to eat with and was physically ill during any class I had before lunch. I was also convinced that I was fat and thought people would think that I shouldn’t be eating. (I was totally average size. not even remotely on the chunky side). In 6th grade my best friend moved in the middle of the school year.. I spent the remaining half of the year eating lunch in the “sick room”. Jr high albeit nerve wracking was okay, but then my best friend moved after 9th grade, so in High school I told my school counselor that If I had a class after lunch I wouldn’t be there. So I went to school until noon everyday and went home. (Actually I went to work) Insecurities RULED my life!
2-I once peed my pants because I was afraid to use my boyfriend’s bathroom that had no lock. I was terrified that his roommates would bust in! I was only a block away from my house driving home when I couldn’t hold it any longer. When I walked in to my house my Mom was standing in the kitchen.. I walked in all bull rider style laughing my head off!
3-I am allergic to most fruits. Sad but true.. Can’t eat em unless they’re cooked. Something to do with the proteins…. Don’t know what its like to bite into an apple.
4-I had a stroke in my Eye last January and I lost permanent partial vision in my right eye. It is especially noticeable, very distracting, irritating, and somewhat nauseating in fluorescent-lit stores. Namely Target.. So alas for the past year, I’ve had to distance myself from my favorite shopping scene. All thanks to a little Blood clotting mutation call Factor 5 Leiden Mutation. (I also get to take Aspirin for the rest of my life)
5-I brush my teeth in the shower. I also blow my nose.. Ewwwww.. I know, I know, but it feels so fabulous and then when I’m all done, I’m fresh and clean and free of snot! Ahhhh.. I’ve got very angry Sinuses that are only happy when they are clear and free of mucus.

Oh Jessica!
Yes, I'm still dreaming of sunshine & warmth, especially right now! I didn't know that you have Factor 5 Leiden! I have a friend in Same Day that has it & she had a terrible time with her pregnancy because of it & had severe pre-eclampsia with HELP syndrome & they had to deliver her baby at 30 weeks to save her. Her baby is doing very well & will go home soon. You never had any problems like that did you?
I'm so glad that you posted this since I don't know too much about you! And, just so you know, I do those same two things in the shower!!! My husband thinks I'm crazy for bringing my toothbrush in there! :)
Only one correction: You did bite into a green apple, I remember because I handed it to you. This was followed up by a swollen throat
and tounge and if I remember right, a trip to southeast emergency---so many trips there it has become a blur! At that moment I remember thinking-great now she is really going to think of me as the wicked stepmother-apple and all! You were not the only insecure one in the home.
Love You sooooo much
Mom
Ha ha ha! That is FUNNY you peed your pants, ha ha ha!
