I've been tagged to tell 10 honest things about myself, so here goes.
1. I had no idea how to get this image from my email to my blog. Thanks Amanda for the first step. In conclusion, I've very computer illiterate.
2. I could easily live without a cell phone. If it wasn't for my husband nagging me to have it with me, I'd always leave home without it.
3. I want my kids to fit this "perfect kid" picture in my head. Star soccer player, always polite, smiling with no cavities, clean faces, always happy. I fight everyday to know that it's OK to let them be who they are.
4. I can not start my day without coffee. I don't think I can form a thought without my first cup of coffee. I made my own pot of coffee at 2am, in the hospital after Camryn was born, because I couldn't wait 'till morning.
5. I like having breasts that fit into a training bra. I save a lot of money on sports bras.
6. I'm a cancer survivor.
7. My husband is my moral compass. If I question my own thoughts or actions, I always think "What would David do?" He's saved me from some big mistakes.
8. For the first time in my adult life, I'm nervous about the future. So many things seem out of our hands. It's forced me to look for the real value in my life.
9. I miss Michigan winters.
10. I love Facebook. It's made my world so much bigger. I don't go a day without hearing from a friend, seeing a relative, or just getting an unexpected laugh.
Thanks for tagging me. A little honesty never hurt anyone.
Great job on getting the photo from the email, Kimberly! I love reading your 10 things... I just wish I had changed the tag to 20 things for everyone. And I agree with the wanting to have the "perfect" children... we've just gotta give up on that right now. I think somehow we see it as a reflection of ourselves and are too hard on them. We think if they are perfect, then we are doing a good job -- I'm with you.... we've got to let them be themselves and make their own mistakes... it's the only way we all really learn.
ReplyDeleteMichigan winters are very beautiful (we arrived for a short visit yesterday)! Despite the cold (20 F), the snow looks wonderful, and I am sure big kids like Aidan would LOVE to go sledding!
