Just as life is like a rollercoaster with it's ups and downs, so it is with my journaling efforts. Gotta be authentic, right?

Where did THE LAST 3 YEARS go? Playing catch up is too overwhelming so I'll just try to keep going as if I never stopped.

TAGGED- this is deep.

Share three of your joys, fears, goals, current obsessions, regrets & facts about yourself... (the directions didn't say to give an explanation, but I wanted to anyway) Then, tag 5 more people & leave a comment on their blog, so they'll know!

Joys:
1. FAMILY- sometimes a joy, sometimes not so much, but mostly joy. :)
2. MUSIC- Hobby, Interest, Joy, Passion- anyway you want to look at it.
3. MY CHURCH CALLING- I absolutely love singing with the kids! Believe it or not, I really enjoy making the visual aids & games as well.
I have a lot of joys in my life, but will refrain from being too sappy. :)

This picture gives me joy!

Fears:
1. The Big Earthquake!
2. Being known as the crazy one in the family (there's one in EVERY family, right?)
3. My kids getting run over by a car, or lost, or kidnapped, or hurt, or worse...
I have more fears that I almost listed, but decided I'll just keep them to myself, thanks... (I want you all to sleep well tonight)

Goals:
1. LOOSE 5 LBS- then when I accomplish that, I'll want to loose 5 more, & on & on...
2. MO-TAB w/ HUBBY- (see you there, Becks!)
3. Become a FOSTER or ADOPTIVE PARENT- (I've had this goal since before we were married- Brett wants to wait for our kids to be older, of course.)
Many more goals as well. (I know you people don't have all day, though)

Current Obsessions: (I have many)
1. That CRAPPY LAWN- every year there's a new problem. Is it too much to want a lush, green lawn, so we can frolick around in our bare feet??
2. BARGAIN SHOPPING! I get a major adrenaline rush every time I get a good deal! (Who cares if we didn't need it? It was on SALE!!)
3. SKIN CARE- not only for me & my wrinkles & acne, but for my children as well. Both boys have eczema- it all just drives me batty!

Regrets:
1. I also regret not finishing college.
2. I also regret not enjoying my youth (childhood, high school, college, etc.)- I wanted to grow up, go figure??
3. Another regret- constantly expecting too much out of Hunter- thereby, inadvertently making him grow up quicker than he needs to (maybe it's not to late to change that one!)

He's only 3, Sarah!

Facts:
1. I like fruity candy (starburst & skittles) better than chocolate.
2. My vision is horrible & keeps getting worse with each kid- I need an eye appointment.
3. Sometimes I break out into a song for no apparent reason.

Okay...I now tag Brandie, Brianna, Holly, Irene, & Winnie- please share with us your deepest, darkest fears, and all of your hopes and dreams!

That was deep! I didn't know you wanted to be a foster or adoptive parent, very cool!

Irene said...

I don't do tags Sarah. But, maybe for you I will try. This one isn't too hard. ;)
