I rarely do memes. Primarily because I like talking about my children or lessons I am learning far more than I enjoy talking about myself. I made an exception in honor of my 401st post..and the fact that my kids may find this interesting one day.
I AM: Enjoying a gorgeous Spring day and a Diet Coke in a rocking chair on my front porch as I type this. I have to pick up the children from their last day of preschool in a few minutes and I am enjoying this last bit of quiet at home before the Summer vacation starts!
I WANT: A hydrangea bush planted in my yard for Mother's Day.
I WISH: I spent more quiet time with God. I know my life would be much more meaningful and I would be a much better Mommy. I really don't know what on Earth my problem with committing to this is. There is really no excuse.
I HATE:Dishonesty, entitlement & when people do not take accountability for their actions.
I MISS: Some precious friendships that have faded by virtue of time, children, seasons of life and changes in location.
I FEAR: Something bad happening to someone I love. (and as ridiculous as it sounds, potty training)
I HEAR: Birds chirping and an airplane overhead
I WONDER: What my children will grow up to be and how much heartbreak there will be along the way.
I REGRET: Things left unsaid, hurting people I love and some decisions I made in my early 20s. I AM NOT: Patient or self-disciplined
I DANCE: Terribly...but fairly often in my den with my children. It always makes them laugh.
I SING: Constantly. Not well and purely for the entertainment of the little people who live in my house.
I CRY: Much more as a Mom than I ever did before.
I AM NOT ALWAYS: Focused on the things that really count.
I MAKE WITH MY HANDS: 4 beds everyday. That's about it. I am not a good cook and I am definitely not crafty.
I WRITE: Only on my blog (and left-handed the old fashioned way)
I CONFUSE: Order and organization with being a control freak.
I NEED: To be more committed to quiet times and exercise.
I START: With gusto.
I FINISH: Most of what I start.
I TAG: Whoever wants to do this.

You may find this interesting because you probably feel you live a life of chaos frequently with 3 little ones underfoot: Whenever I come to read your blog I feel such love and peace at your site! And I am a retired emptynester with time on my hands. You have such a world of opportunity and promise before you in shaping the lives of your beautiful children. I wish I had understood that concept earlier on! God bless you day by day!....and ENJOY every minute!
thanks for the meme tag; I played.
Thanks for the encouragement and prayers, Jen. I'm learning that it's hard for anyone to really understand unless they have been there before. And thanks for the update on the twins. I've been following them but have not had much time to click over. So I was thankful you posted an update.
I just found your site (and I'm going to do the meme...)and I just want to thank you for the quote on the top, "My hands are full, but so is my heart." So often complete strangers will see me out and about with my three boys (3, 5, and 6) and say, "Wow! Your hands are full!" And I just smile because I'm never sure what to say. Now I know... "My hands are full, but so is my heart!"
