I Am...

I think… all the time
I know… that God lives and loves me
I want… my family to be together forever
I have… the best husband in the world
I wish… I could relax easier
I hate… being late
I miss… my mom being close by
I fear… snakes and every creature that slithers without legs
I hear… spring coming when the neighbor kids are out playing ball together
I smell… sweaty boys quicker than anything else
I wonder… how the Lord will judge the world in the end
I regret… not spending more time playing with my kids when they were little
I love… crispy, clean sheets
I care… about how my actions affect others
I always… wish I could do better
I am not… always confident
I believe… what goes around comes around, eventually
I dance… better in my head
I sing…in the car
I don’t… enjoy slimy foods
I write… nearly every day
I win… occasionally
I lose… games when we play as a family
I dislike… selfishness
I never… want to disappoint my parents
I listen… to books on my iPod to tune out life
I can usually be found… at the Gas ’n Sip once a day
I am scared… I haven’t prepared well enough
I read… books that I enjoy over and over again
I am happy about… how my kids seem to be faring in this crazy world so far
I dare… to hope they will be as good as I wish them to be
I hope… I can be half the mom my own mother is
I notice… stuff I haven’t gotten to yet
I clean… when I want to turn over a new leaf
I express… gratitude as often as I can
I talk… faster than I think
I go… to the temple twice a month
I drive… too fast on the freeway
I watch… recorded television in order to fast-forward commercials
I dream… random things
I need… to vacuum the family room, dust the piano, clean the windows
I haven’t… dusted in months
I tell… my worries to the Lord, a lot
I find… He already knows them
I run… faster than I have strength some days
I quit… stressing about my weight
I jump… to the worst case scenario, just in case
I learn… lessons the hard way at times
I play… but I don’t find it comfortable
I own… a clear conscience
I make… stacked enchiladas from memory
I live… better than I deserve to
I bring… another viewpoint
I open…the fridge or internet when I am bored
I will… serve as Council PTA president in the fall
I suppose… that means I am insane to a degree
I vote… my conscience
I buy… carefully
I fold… laundry before I put it away
I stand… by my friends
I can… disagree without being disagreeable, most of the time
I wear… what is comfortable
I smile… as often as I can
I cry… more than I want to
I care… about the kids in our schools
I pray… for my family’s safety every day
I make…family a priority
I like… a lot of British humor
I move… slowly after 9 PM
I swear… under my breath occasionally
I try… not to do it out loud
I find… stuff for everyone around here
I draw…stick people and stick dogs
I expect… everyone to pull their own weight
I work… to show a good example
I admire…people who are consistently kind and gentle
I adore… the language of Jane Austen
I fantasize… I am Elizabeth Bennett
I look… for good deals
I cherish… my husband and children
I appreciate…help from others
I treasure… friendships
I could… live where it was warm year round
