In no particular order:



1. Somedays I feel like I'm buried in laundry.

2. I haven't bought a new, good pair of tennis shoes because then I wont have an excuse to not exercise anymore.

3. I like to bake cake, create cake, test my cake making skills. I'm not overly fond of any flavor of cake but white.

4. My youngest son was born 5 weeks early with a collapsed and under developed lung, a hole in his heart and a heart murmer. Today he is 2 and healthy.

5. After two consecutive job lay-offs and doing everything we were supposed to do, we might still lose our house.

6. I had gestational diabetes with my last pregnancy and am still carrying around the excess weight that is likely to make it reoccur if I don't lose it.

7. I'd love to move close to GG and Gramps and live in a small town.

8. I'd probably go crazy in a small town.

9. Being the only girl of 4 kids I feel left out and seperated from the bond my brothers share.

10. I have step in-laws that have never met my youngest son and ceased talking to us for reasons we still don't understand even though we've made every effort to . My real in-law passed away before we were married.

11. I have lots of good aquaintances but very few close friends.

12. I wish I had teenage babysitter I could pay $2 an hour so we could actually spend an evening out with friends rather than trading off babysitting all the time.

13. I find it interesting that so many people have said they have dragon tattoos. I have one and so does Ryan. Maybe it's being born in the year of the dragon that draws us all to it.

14. I love my hair the most when it's black and pink, black and blonde or black and purple. I worry that I'm getting too "old" for that kind of thing.

15. I want to instill a love of life and responsibility in my children.

16. I want to be the cool mom.

17. I like the shows 6 Teen and Total Drama Island on Cartoon Network. They make me laugh.

18. My middle son has crazy allergies. Two food allergies that will kill him and others that will make his skin and nose go crazy.

19. I'm scared to death I will be not paying enough attention one day and will have to administer his Epi-Pen and call 911.

20. I don't get enough sleep and am severely addicted to caffiene to make it through my day.

21. I'd like to go back to school but desire no degree out of it.

22. I still want to open a bakery.

23. I want to fashion an exercise bike and elliptical driven mixer for my bakery.

24. I have no burning desire to travel the world but would like to be able to see more of my family who are far away.

25. I want my kids to look back fondly on childhood and remember what a great time in life it is.
