A Tag: Some Things....

I've been having a blogging dry spell lately. I guess that goes with being stuck in-doors for extensive periods of time, so a tag is just what my blog needs. Thanks, Brittany (very clever tagging method, by the way....)

Something I want to see: It's hard to narrow it down, if you are talking geographical. I have a burning desire to see much of the world. After our kids are grown and gone, I want to travel all over with just Dave and I. Not geographical: I want to see our kids grown up to be happy and successful and have strong testimonies.

Something that inspires me: Mom's with perfectly clean houses. I don't know how they do it! Mine is never really dirty. I clean a lot and try hard not to let it get too out of control. But, there always seems to some mess or another that needs to be cleaned up! I can never understand how I go to some houses (without warning) and their house is immaculate. How?!? Please teach me, somebody!

Something that makes me angry: Celebrities who share their political views. I mean, seriously....I don't want to know. I want to be able to watch a TV show or movie without worrying that I'm supporting someone that believes in something that goes against my values. Plus, really, who are they to have such expertise in the field of politics?!? Okay...I'll stop there. I could go on and on.

Something that hurts a little: Stubbing my toe.

Something I've gotten used to: Sleeping with no sheets on the bed. Dave is a no sheet kind of guy. It took some time to get used to, but after 8 years of marriage, it's pretty normal now.

Something I collect: hmmm...that's a hard one. Maybe, TV shows recorded on the DVR.

Something I always carry with me: wallet, diapers, checkbook and debit card

Something I want to be: Obviously, a better mother - there are countless way I could improve in that area. I'd also like to one day be a teacher...but we'll see how that pans out.

Something I dread: laundry. If I just had to wash and dry it, no problem. It's the folding and putting away. My kids love to undo what I make so nice and neat. Max empties his dresser almost daily.

Something that I have learned: How to cook and sew. I'm not the very best at either one (better at cooking than sewing), but they are both something I've learned since I got married.

Something I read: Book of Mormon, endless amounts of stories to the kids, Readers Digest, and I have to check the news on MSN.com and Foxnews.com pretty much daily.

Something I want to understand: a foreign language

Someone I'm going to tag: Melissa
