Yippee Skippy! I Just Won!
I love to win………..because it is a rare event!
But thanks to HK Everyday blog/, I won the Blogging Friendship Award.
What does this mean?
She loves me (and I love her)
And, I love all of you…my blogging friends.
So, I get to post 8 things I look forward to doing, 8 things I wish I could do, and award 8 friends some love!
So…….
8 Things That I’m Looking Forward To –
- Summer – no school, no seminary, the pool and a stack of books
- All of my children graduating from high school, because I’m tired. Not 6 hours of sleep a night tired, but “hey I know you’re only 14, but isn’t it time for you to move out and move on?” tired.
- All of my children marrying the wife of my dreams and producing the cutest grandchildren in the world.
- Having the funnest every family reunions with the above
- Going on a mission with Brian
- Travelling without leaving the children home with stacks of money, refrigerators full of food, signed permission slips in case of an emergency and a typed schedule for my parents
- Brian’s new company making money. That would be soooo cool to get a paycheck!
- I don’t know what else I’m looking forward to because I made goal a couple years back to not “wish” my life away, but to enjoy each day. And guess what? It’s one goal I’m actually keeping!
8 Things I Wish I Could Do
- Blink and be somewhere instantly
- Crank up some hip hop tunes and drive as fast as I want
- Have all my brothers live on the same street with me
- Be a coroner, wedding planner, high school teacher, teen psychologist
- Have more time in the day
- Remember what I study when I read the scriptures
- Have time to learn a new skill and have a hobby
- Have thick hair(well, not really thick, just more than the 5 strands I have now) that grows quickly

WOW, Thanks....I thought you thought I was a bad mom, so this shows that you probably don't so YAY, I'm happy. You awarded me an award. COOL!
I loved reading your 8, or was it 16, or 24 things. I don't know if I can think of anything interesting to write, but I'll try (later, I'm at work.)
I was cracking up that you look forward to having your boys marry the woman of your dreams because I want that for Moe too!
Actually, I want him to marry an orphan, so we don't share holidays with in-laws.
Love your blog. We have read some of the same books. I am going to try a couple on your shelf that I haven't read. I know how you feel about your son. H.K.'s comments cracked me up. I can so relate! Thanks for your postive and inspiring posts.
Thanks! I feel so honored. I'll get around to leaving my own thoughts on my blog soon.
