I am: losing my voice. My husband thinks it is a Christmas miracle.
I want: a robot vacuum that vacuums while I sleep.
I have: a beautiful little family that I love.
I dislike: how much junk mail I receive every single freaking day.
I miss: Evan.
I fear: the fact that I can't control or plan my life. Things happen unexpectedly.
I feel: my sore throat and cold toes.
I hear: the construction down the street and Maddie's cartoons.
I crave: a warm bowl of oatmeal and a warm slice of my homemade banana bread. I desperately need to go grocery shopping.
I usually: get giddy when I pick up Madster from school. It is the moment I most look forward to every day.
I search: for truth and wisdom and kindness wherever I can find it.
I wonder: if Maddie will still adore me in ten years, at the scary age of 14.
I regret: saying things when my emotions are fresh and strong. I have learned a lot of restraint in my 27 years!
I love: Josh's stability, similar sense of adventure, and sense of humor.
I care: deeply about other people's difficult trials. My own have taught me empathy, which can haunt me for days.
I always: wake up happy and ready to work and be efficient. It is a blessing.
I worry: about if we will ever have another child. Why does it have to be so difficult!?!?!
I remember: Christmases as a kid were so magical and happy. I love recreating that feeling for Maddie now.
I believe: in eternal families.
I sing: for Maddie every night when I put her to bed, after the bedtime story. I love this time with her.
I try not to: let what other people say bother me.
I don't always: look at the mail the day it comes. Sometimes it sits for days.
I argue: anything and everything, from both points of view. A gift for a future lawyer, but it exhausts my husband. :o)
I write: in my journal often, but not often enough. It is a joy to sit and think about what I want to write.
I win: at lots of card games and board games.
I lose: at every athletic sport or event. Apparently my competitive nature in games doesn't transfer over to athletics. I could care less. (Which is good, because I don't have any natural athletic ability.)
I wish: that I will have a new addition to our family by next Christmas, however that is meant to happen.
I listen: to everything everyone says. If I have any sliver of intelligence or wisdom, it is because I pay attention.
I don't understand: how computers or the internet work. I don't want to know either (I only have so much space in my brain), but I am grateful for it.
I can usually be found: at my desk right here. I love this space.
I forget: to call people and be social. I get distracted easily by living my own little life.
I am happy: Period.
