I’m trying to pull myself out of the funk. I thought that maybe if I wrote something, I’d get some juices flowing and get back into the swing of things. I love blogging and reading blogs, and I hate it when I have nothing to say. So…here goes my writing practice. Read if if you want-but my feelings won’t be hurt if you don’t. (Plus I’ll never really know, will I?) It’s a meme-type thing that I stole from citystreams(who stole it from Bethany Actually). They’re both really great bloggers, so you should mosey on over to read theirs, too. Ok…enough procrastinating. Get started already!
Ten Things I Wish I Could Say To Ten Different People Right Now(if had the confidence to do so):
1. I feel bad about the time I said something about your hair. I never brought it up again, but I think about it sometimes and it makes me sad that I made you feel bad. I don’t know if you remember it or not, but if you do: I’m sorry.
2. It’s usually not you who deserves my yelling, fussing, complaining, etc. But I’m thankful that you usually take it so well and know that it’ll all blow over soon.
3. I can’t wait to met you IRL.
4. I love the sound of your voice, especially when you sing.
5. I miss you most when I find a great bargain and want to call someone and tell them all about it.
6. I would kill for hair like yours!
7. I wish I spent more quality time with you. It’s my own fault that I don’t, and I don’t know what keeps holding me back.
8. I know that you think I’ll never attain some of the goals I have for myself, and I will prove you wrong.
9. I’m a Democrat…most of the time. I just usually keep my mouth shut. I hope that if you ever do find out, you won’t care. But I have a feeling that you would care, and that kind of makes me sad. I wish we could all celebrate our differences.
10. I only met you once, but you left a big impression on me. I hate that I never got the chance to get to know you, and I hope that your daughter has lots of people to always remind her how wonderful a person you were.

6. I am a Christian, but I really strive to be aware and sensitive to other’s beliefs and ideals.

One Confession:
1. I wish I was a better mother. It may be conceited of me to say, but I’m really good with other people’s kids. I have much more patience with them than with mine. I plan more and do more activities as a babysitter than as a mother. I don’t yell at other people’s kids. I don’t put them off just so I can read or watch something on TV or make a phone call. I wish I would be better at managing and maximizing my time with the kids. And I have to admit that there are many times when I wonder whether or not I would appreciate them more-and they me-if I worked outside the home. If we had less time together, would I be better about spending quality time with them when I was home?
This is great! As far as the last one goes, I think it’s different now because you’re pregnant and you’re in a new place. It’s not you. You’re an awesome Mama! And I want to learn how to make a lemonade cake now, because I don’t have enough moo-lah for a shopping spree. ;o)
We’re going to have to talk about who you said those 10 things to when you visit next weekend!
Hey…if I knew how to make a lemonade cake (or even what one was), I’d make it for you. Seriously. I would. Right. Now. While the kids nap.
Hope you’re feeling better. Hope you don’t throw up today. Hope you know I adore you no matter what your party affiliation. 🙂
Oh, and I would LOVE for Target to be closer. Ugh…I hate that drive.
So that one about loving someone’s voice especially when they sing? that is what you want to say to me, right?
