A Survey

This survey was on Trish's blog. You can access her blog via my links section. She is a fellow mom and scrapbooker. Thought I'd follow her lead and complete the survey just for the fun of it.

7 people that I admire:
- Jesus
- My grandfather

7 things I say often:
- "Geez!"
- "..And knowing is half the battle..."
- "O......kay..."
- "What's the dealio?"
- "Oh my goodness/gosh!"
- "Right. Right." (When I'm listening, I nod and say that. It's a habit.)
- "Hmmmm...." (Usually muttered under my breath.)

7 things I cannot do:
- swim...but one day I am determined I will

7 things you might not know about me:

- When I work a lot, I worry that I'm failing as a mom, but when I cut down my hours, I worry that I'm not doing my share as a wife and provider for my kids.
- My relationship with my biological father-my only remaining parent-is a constant source of disappointment and grief to me.

- I wish I could find a church where I feel we could fit in.
- I'd like to be able to be more consistent spiritually, physically (exercise) and mentally (fewer days feeling "down.")
- Being a patient, loving wife wouldn't be so hard for me.
