It's been a while since I joined Mama M for Five Question Friday, but when I saw it was about Halloween candy, I had to jump in!
1. What is your favorite Halloween candy?
Chocolate. I'd have to say, I'm a bit strange. When the kids get home with the loot, I go to town separating it! All fruity type candy goes in one container and chocolate in another. This way, the chocolate remains chocolatey and delicious! I also, allow them to eat the candy in moderation until the next time I go to work, then everything but the nummy chocolate is brought to my work. It's usually devoured by the end of my 8 hour shift.
2. Do you fold your socks?
I do fold the socks. After reading other responses though, I think I'm done. I only buy Jonathan one kind, so why fold them. Same with Aaron and I. Allie, well, she has every color of the rainbow, hearts, princesses, stripes, white, Hello Kitty, and numerous others, so I will continue folding hers. Thanks for setting me straight ladies.
3. What is something that you wish you had been warned about?
Credit Cards, debt, and life after the honeymoon.
Debt, well for obvious reasons. Life after the honeymoon, well, marriage takes work and I honestly didn't see that. I just saw bliss. In the honeymoon stage, you don't see their faults or your own.
Oh, one more, parenthood. I never thought I would be in therapy with my five year old. No one said, "hey, just think, someday, he's going to cause you a lot of heart ache." Thankfully, those days are behind us and they made us stronger.
Oh Lord, then there's the year in NYC. I had no idea it would have gone the way it did.
Family, who knew family dynamics could be so difficult sometimes.
One thing I was warned about...Mentadent. Aaron asked me when we were dating, "where do you squeeze the toothpaste?" I said, "does it matter?" His response, "Mentadent, baby, for the rest of our lives!" (I'm frugal, so I learned to squeeze from the bottom. He did warn though.)
4. What is the most significant difference between you and your significant other?
I am type A and he is B. I like routine, organization, a plan, consistency, arrangements, budgets, and warning (read #3, I have a grocery list of things I wish I'd been warned about). He flies by the seat of his pants! I have learned to enjoy it though, we balance each other out.
5. What are three words you would use to describe yourself? (And, just for fun...if your significant other is around, ask him/her what 3 words they would use to describe you!!)
Moldable...I am willing to let God come in and change me. I am not afraid to examine myself and change to be a better person.
Loyal...I will never let anyone down intentionally. I will be your friend to the end. I will back you up. I will not tell your secrets.
Hospitable...My door is always open. I enjoy laid back entertaining. No china here, but we do have a monsterous game closet, a deck of cards or 10, comfy couches, a bon fire pit, a breakfast bar that doubles as a buffet table, stained white carpet, an old TV with Netflix and a Wii, listening ears, warm hearts, hot coffee, and love.

You really are a great friend, those are great traits to have.
And now, I want some chocolate. :)
Thanks for checking up on me! I keep "planning" to post, and then not doing it. I know I could make time to post if I were really trying, but between working and taking care of kids, I don't seem to have much time to spare for it (as much as I love it). I'm going to try to get something up this week, though.
Let freedom reign!!!!
