It seems that I have been honoured with being given the “Honest Scrap” award not once, but twice.

This is the first time that I’ve ever been tagged for an award and I was lucky enough to be tagged by two of my favourite bloggers, Canadian Bald Guy an d Mother Single.
Guess I’d better get on that then, eh?

“The Honest Scrap award is given by other bloggers who consider a blog’s content or design to be brilliant.  The awardee must then post ten honest things about themselves and pass the award on to other bloggers who fit the bill – in other words, whose blog is brilliant.”

I mean, how could I not be flattered?

I guess this is the part where I start my list of 10 Honest Things about me..
Yikes..
I have no idea where to start, so I’m just going to run with it and put the first 10 things that come to mind.

1. I was on my high school dance team. In my last year we participated in the All Ontario Dance Championship and took first place with our remix of Shakira’s Wherever, Whenever. (I think that’s what it’s called.)
2. The guy I was dating after the munchkin was born asked me to marry him. I think we all know how that turned out. (Mmm.. for those who don’t, I turned him down and broke up with him almost immediately — my feelings were not even in the realm of his.)
3. I have plans for a tattoo that I’m ridiculously excited about. It includes a song quote. I hate telling people what it is because I think it sounds silly when I say it aloud.
4. I’m going to write the great Canadian novel. Somewhere between juggling school, a part-time job, being mommy and playing wife. (Just you wait and see.)
5. I’ve been enrolled at 3 different colleges across the province. Attended two and cannot wait to start again in September. St. Clair, Canadore and now Algonquin.
6. I love to learn. If there was a Professional Student occupation I would totally be all over it.
7. I love to read. I can read very quickly. Case in point: I was curious about all of the Twilight hype and read the two novels from the middle of the series a couple of weeks ago. In the same night.
8. I was also a cheerleader in high school. We weren’t very good. It was just the closest thing to a dance team that we had at the time.
   It’s okay that we weren’t good though. Neither were our sports teams. Our football team lost every single game in the 4 years that I attended that school. Seriously. But we weren’t short on enthusiasm. We cheered for everyone. We were definitely the only cheerleaders at our school’s hockey games. (And I was on top of the pyramid. Woo. Go me.)
9. When it first occurred to me that I might be pregnant I couldn’t even picture myself telling my parents. I did however think about just never going home and losing touch with my family.
   The thought of being a single parent never really bothered me. Telling my family did.

   &, this is probably the most honest point on my list and I’ll probably regret hitting the publish button but i figure the reason you guys keep coming back is that I don’t try to cover up how I feel and I’m pretty honest, even though it’s the internet and I could lie and be cheery all the time and you guys would never know the difference. Plus, the whole award is for not holding back my brilliance and all. ;)

10. There are too many days when I feel like I’m a bad mother and like my son would be better off elsewhere. I feel like I’m not doing a good enough job. Not putting enough of myself out there. Like I’m too selfish.
    Like I’m not good at being a mom.
    Which sucks, because I’ve always wanted to have kids and I’d like to have more. Soon. Ish.

That was surprisingly refreshing actually.
So I’m going to pass it on!

I don’t know who’s received this already and who hasn’t so I’m just going to tag people..
