I'm it
I was tagged by Kim for this meme.
I AM: incredibly happy with my life.
I WANT: to see my children grown and married and with their own beautiful babies.
I WISH: we were independently wealthy because I want to be able to quietly do incredible things for other people.
I HATE: whiney people who never do anything more than whine about their problems and never take the initiative to better themselves.
I MISS: many things, places and people we left back in Georgia.
I FEAR: I have sheltered my kids too much.
I HEAR: my baby cooing as he plays in his bouncy seat near me; the sounds of my children playing outside; my mother every time I open my mouth.
I WONDER: what my baby's voice will sound like when he is able to talk to me.
I REGRET: never having finished college.
I AM NOT: the easiest person to get along with.
I DANCE: when no one is looking or I have had too much to drink.
I SING: when I am driving.
I CRY: at the drop of a hat especially when watching my children; when I have been pushed to the outer limits of anger.
I AM NOT ALWAYS: on time, nor do I manage to get cards and letters mailed out on time.
I MAKE WITH MY HANDS: a comfortable home for my husband and children.
I WRITE: alot more in my head that I do with visable words.
I CONFUSE: myself. Often.
I NEED: to lose weight.
I SHOULD: save more money.
I START: a summer class at the community college at the end of May.
I FINISH: most of the things I start.
I TAG: Miz S., Reahan, MommaK
For you, Angie, I will do this.
I love yours.
And...no regrets, Angie. ; )
You may have to wait a day or two for me. I'm SO OVERWHELMED with work right now. Sigh.
Hey, I love the mental picture I have now of you dancing after one-too-many margaritas.
It is not a pretty picture, Mary. Tequila and Table Dance is not always a good combination.
Ah, yes, to be independently wealthy would be a wonderful thing. I love to dance. 12 years of ballet, 3 jazz, 1 tap, 1 modern. I hear music and my body automatically starts to move. Add alcohol and I'm the hottest thing on the dance floor! Dance on girl!
Hey Angie? I nearly put down the same regret but since I spent that time leaping ahead in ridiculous career jumps I decided the stupid first marriage (also one of the reasons for not finishing my degree) was a more worthy regret!
And the couch you've pictured in 'caught a bottle'? That IS my couch. Actually, it's my sofa bed and I have the matching three seater. Tell me it's true - do we sit on the same big red couches on the opposite sides of the world?
I love that you are incredibly happy with your life. What could be a better gift?
YOU ARE: An amazing woman and a thoughtful friend
I got my late Easter card today thankyouverymuch and it made me smile from ear to ear. Thank you sweetie :)
I will do this meme for you, of course.
xo
You are a great writer.
You can do anything you want. Come with me back to school.
Big hugs.
Isn't it remarkable that for those of us who have done this, just how many of our things could apply to many of us. It is one of those weird things that despite distance and every other factor, we all have somehow found each other.
I giggled when I read.. "I hear my mother every time I open my mouth" :)
