Things I have been thinking about lately:
1. I don't like to be "tagged" so I have to tell dumb stuff about myself. I say enough dumb stuff without being prompted.
2. I have a bad habit of comparing myself to others. I wish I could do this thing as well as (fill in blank), I wish I knew more about (fill in subject) like (fill in name) does, I wish they liked me as well as they like her,etc. I am going to try to stop this.
3. I wish when I craved something yummy to eat, that when I actually ate it it would satisfy my craving.
4. I wish laundry could sort, wash, dry, fold, and put itself away. I also wish socks could magnetically stay together when not being worn.
5. I wonder how my children can ruin brand new carpet in less than 2 1/2 years.
6. I am excited that there are more people my age (or stage in life) in my ward deciding to have another baby. Go Heather!
7. I wish I didn't actually have to get wet to take a shower. I don't like being wet.
8. I wonder how painful electrolysis is cause I am sick of shaving my legs.
9. Why am I obsessed with baby shows on Discovery Channel? Or medical shows in general.
10. I also sometimes wonder how I got here, not in the spiritual sense, but how did I end up being a mom of almost 7 kids, married to the most wonderful guy I could imagine, get to be a stay home mom, coach all kinds of kid sports, still have time to volunteer everywhere, work with 150 of the greatest women you could ever meet, and all this time wonder what happened to my plan of being a career woman with a kid or two. I don't regret any of it, but if you knew me 17 years ago, you would have known this wasn't the original plan.

I am glad you are who you are! You have been such an awesome example to me in my life! I always wish I was more like you.
You've been tagged! Check my blog for details.
Let me tell you about laser hair removal for your legs. I did it, best thing I ever did. Expensive but worth it. After having all my kids I'll need to go back and touch up but I do love having to shave only once a week. :) Talk to me about it. :)
You? Careers are over-rated! I wanna have lots of kids, then go back to school and be a nurse... only if I can pass those stupid reading tests though. Apparently those are killer. Buuuttt... that dream is bound to change, I may end up wanting to save the world tomorrow, who knows.
My mom wanted to be a lawyer and not get married until later in life and maybe have a couple of kids...she ended up married at 20 and mother of 8 children, always being a stay-at-home mom. I think it's wonderful that our lives don't always turn out the way we plan them.
Yea, we have a lot in common. I could say "amen" to almost everything you wrote - except #8 I'm very blessed with a couple times a month only... yea, I count my blessings! Ü Oh, and #6 is not in our plans, either. Our carpet looks horrible after a year, hopefully everything comes out with a good cleaning. I want hardwood floors!
When I was pregnant with Julie I watched those baby shows, nursery makeovers, etc, and watched them as often as they were on day and night (Don was over-the-road then). I cried EVERY stinkin' one of them, too. I wondered if that would ever change. I was addicted to them. Now I can't get enough of Extreme Home Makeover and cry every time... maybe once my home has been customized like those I'll get over that one, too?! HA!
I just do everything on my camera. I'm finding some pretty snazzy things! It's my new hobby! haha
It's funny that you compare yourself to others, and I find myself looking at you being amazed at your many taletns and still being able to hold yourself together. Amazing.
Hey Stacy! You never noticed me on Kristen's links because I just started my blog! Isn't this fun?!
I am one of those who remembers you talking about not being able to stay home with kids. Now look at you.
