Memes: April 2006 Archives

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

Blackbird's show and tell is at the request of Chantal who wanted to see our junk drawers. I am trying so hard to get organized and keep things cleaned out that I don't have a big junk drawer like one might find in the kitchen when we lived in the townhouse. This junk drawer is in the cocktail table in the living room. It has ink pens, pencils, tape, various sized batteries, and odd papers I haven't gotten rid of yet because, well, I haven't. No other reason. There is also a spare watch band and a drill bit. A drill bit Steven asked for several months ago and has yet to open much less actually use. Some of you may remember from an earlier show and tell my husbands junk drawer in our bedroom in his nightstand. It is not a typical junk drawer. Not at all. This is a special junk drawer just for him. This is my husbands junk food drawer. I keep it filled with snacks and things just for him lest the kids eat everything and when he wants something it is all gone. We should all be so lucky to have someone fill the junk drawer with lovely things of junk for us. Like chocolates and mints and cookies and chocolates and coffee and coupons for bubble baths and magazines and tall cool drinks for moments when a child isn't needing us. Alas, this is not a perfect world and no one does that for those of us who do that for them.
