#8 Blog

Sorry Liz this has taken me so long to do. I have had it saved in my draft folder for a while. It has just taken me time to think of things to right down.

8 things I am passionate about…
1. My family
2. Getting things done (I hate projects that are left undone)
3. Being on time
4. Going to bed by 10 (I get up early)
5. Sleeping in on Saturday (at least 1 more hour than usual)
6. Devoting most of my time to the boys
7. Losing the baby weight (I am not always passionate about this- just right now)
8. Organization (I know my house doesn’t always look like it. But everything has a place and I can find anything that is in my files downstairs when asked. Plus, I have lists for everything.)

8 Words or phrases I use often…
1. Jake stop that!
2. Not right now.
3. Is it time for you to come home yet?
4. I will call you back. (said mostly to my sister when my kids are screaming or her kids)
5. Let’s help mom clean up
6. What are your plans for today? (I ask Kurt this every Saturday and then he has no plans so I tell him what we are doing.)
7. I’m cold.
8. Is anybody listening to me?

8 things that I have learned from my past…
1. Time spent with my kids is so important because they grow way to fast.
2. Things happen for a reason
3. Be patient
4. Cleaning the house all day doesn’t mean that you have a clean house. Dishes and laundry are never ending.
5. Help others
6. I need a kid free break at the end of the day for 1 hour to survive tomorrow
7. It is ok if things don’t go like they were planned
8. Live in the moment

8 Places that I would love to go see…
1. Take Jake to Disneyland (I have been tons but I think it would be so fun to take my kids. We are going next summer)
2. Take Kurt to Hawaii- I have been there but it is fun to take others
3. New York
4. Austria (Kurt wants to go back and show me his mission)
5. Alaska Cruise
6. Caribbean Cruise
7. The Eiffel Tower
8. Jerusalem

8 things I currently need or want…
1. Food storage rotation system (I have one downstairs but I need the bigger one)
2. New kitchen cooking utensils (Most of mine were from when I was single and I like all of the non stick rubber ones they have now)
3. Jake to not whine for one day or one hour
4. My car paid off
5. To loose all my baby weight
6. Teach my boys all they need to know in this life
7. To have a sick day (Not that I want to be sick- It would just be nice to have a day off to lounge)
8. Have an eternal family
