Day 12: Something I never get complimented on

This is a hard one. Hmm let me think. Something I never get complimented on huh? Well I like to cook and I do cook some good dinners but I guess my boys , hubby included just take me forgranted. That is okay that is part of being mom. I do not get complimented on how hard I work to help my boys grow. But I would not want to be complimented on that somedays because I feel like I am the one learning and not my boys. I am grateful to me a hard working mommy who has her hands ful with to very smart and intelligent let boys who at times always know which buttons to push to make mommy crazy. I hope that I can continue to help them learn and progress and that someday I will feel less frazzeled at the end of the day. Until then another tired mommy bites the dust!

Day 11: Something someone is always complimenting you on

The compliments that I get the most often are how cute my boys are. I do have to admit that my boys are cute. But Hey i can be biased I'm their mom!

Day 10 Some one I Let go Or wished I didn' t know

There is this person that I know that I wish I didn't know. I met him at work when I was in college. He was the first guy that actually really paid attention to me. I was flattered of course. But it turns out he was a real jerk and he was just using me. I am grateful that he is out of my life. I wish I had never met him. But if that wish came true then all the lessons that I learned from that epsiode in my life would be null and void and that would not be right because I am grateful for the lessons I learned such as How much I love my family and how much my heavenly father loves me and is watching out for me. He really does see the big picture even if I can't from my limited perspective. I think he knew I needed that experience to help me learn and grow and years later become a better Mother. Though Going through that experience at the time with that person I never thought that it would make me a better mother.

Day 9: Someone you did not want to let go or just sorta drifted

This was a intresting one for me to do because of how many places and times I have moved. But I was actually able to come up with a couple of people.
When I was in elementary school there was a girl there that we loved doing things together and this was ata time when the Babysitters club book series was very poplar my friend and I decieded that we wanted to start our own club and we would come up with all sorts of ideas where to have the clubhouse. Of course we never actually had a club house but it sure was funn dreaming together. We even had secret names for each other for birthdays and other things. So here is to Jinx and Melly Mouse. I had another friend in elementary school that we have actually reconneted through facebook. It is really nice to remember that I do have some fond memories of Growing up.
The other person that I wish that I had not drifted away from was a friend I met while I was serving my mission in Wisconsin. It was my first companion. I really liked her and she sure taught me alot. We just lost contact because life happens.

Day 8 Someone who made my life heck or treated me awful

This is a difficult one to answer. There was a time in my life that I made some very bad decisions so that my life was awful. There was another person involved but I think that becasue of my own decisions the conseqeunces of my decisions were what made my life Heck. So I guess if I look at it that way I made my own Hell. It took a couple of years for me to change my life around but I did. With the help of my Savior Jesus Christ I was able to make the changes necessary to be happy again. So by taking responsiblity for my own actions if I had not made those choices I would not have suffered. But I learned a lot of lessons from that experience that I do not think I would have learned otherwise. So dispite how difficult and painful it was for me If I had to do it again I would to help the people that those decsions affected as well as me.

Day 7: Someone who has made you life worth living

This is a fun one. I get to brag about my special someones. Actually I have alot of people who have made my life worth living. But the one O am going to brag about is my grandma. She has been a wonderful Grandma over the years. I have always loved visiting and talking with her. She makes me feel loved and special. I love my grandma. She is the best grandma in the world. She is a very unique and outstanding individual. My Grandma is my best friend. She listens to me and she helps me understand who I am. She is a very special person who has had a really difficult life but still is able to have a positve outlook. She is very Gentle and caring and loves her family very very much. I Love you Grandma.

Another person who has made my life worth living is my wonderful Husband. Stephen is really a sweetheart. He loves me and he loves his boys. He loves taking care of his family. I am so grateful to have him in my life. I love the fact that when I have had a hard day with my two little boys he comes home and takes care of them so I can have a much needed break. He surprises me and loves to tease me and it makes me feel very loved and needed. He is sensitive and kind and is very thoughtful. I am so glad that he is mine. It has been a nice 5 years having a wonderful husband. I hope the next five years are even better!

Day 6: Something I hope never to do

I hope never to live in Hawaii. I know that this sounds odd. I would love to visit Hawaii as much as I can I just don't think I want to live there because I think that If I lived there I would take all of its Beauty for granted. So I do not want to live there.

I hope never to eat esacargot. I have to agree with my Sister in law that would be gross. I cannot imagine having a snail slither down my throat. I can't eat oysters for the same reason. I have eaten a oyster so I know what I am talking about.

I hope I am never robbed again. I have had the experience of having a person take all my personal belongings and I do not like the feeling of being violated. I hope never to have to experience that again.

I hope that I am never in a situation where I cannot protect my children. My children are my life and I will do anything in my power to protect them and have them grow up to be responsible adults.
