Every morning I wake up with a head full of things to do. I scramble around trying to put them in lists of importance all while trying to keep the peace within my little brood (trying to recall everything I've learned and read about parenting at the same time.) I love being a wife and the quirks that come with having my man forever. I love to be creative and thrive on crossing off my to do list. I strive to find balance and put first things first which brings me PEACE & JOY and allows me to sleep so much easier when I do. I think that one of the secrets to being HAPPY in life is to find that balance. I'm learning how to be kinder to myself and learning patience in progress. Everyday, through the thick and thin of life I'm trying to turn my heart towards heaven and remember what's really important.Oh, and I love to eat, so much so that I love to exercise too.

I tag

TAG from Jan

i am- a daughter of God, wife, mother, daughter, sister, friend

i think- too much.

i know- that I will see my mom again.

i want- peace of mind and heart.

i have- so much to be thankful for, I'm going to start a gratitude journal this week.

i dislike- the misuse of and degradation of sex.

i fear- the influences the world has my children and on me.

i feel- overwhelmed at all there is to motherhood.

i hear- "Have a Little Faith in Me"

i smell- red beans and rice lingering from dinner time

i crave- fresh veggies and fruit

i cry- a lot lately. I miss my mom.

i usually- forget to count my blessings.

i search- for a way to help my oldest boy do okay in school. He can't seem to focus.

i wonder- if my mom is watching me and what she's doing.

i regret- that I didn't take enough pictures of my mom with my kids and that they didn't spend a lot of time with her.

i love- the Lord,my husband, being organized, laughing with my kids, feeling skinny, eating clean, good music, a clean inspirational movies, sweet people, the temple, Rick's college, the beach.

i care- about others feelings.

i always- think the worst (when communicating with my husband)

i worry- that I'll mess my kids up with my mistakes.

i am not- easy going.

i remember- the way my mom rubbed my temples to put me to sleep.

i believe- that the gospel of Jesus Christ was restored through a prophet.

i sing- out loud and dance in my kitchen.

i don't always- live like today is my last day.

i argue- about medicating my son.

i write- to remember

i win- uno games with my hubby.

i lose- my patience too much.

i wish- I could relax about some of the things that I think have to be done a certain way.

i can usually be found- at home cleaning.

i am scared- to lose any of my kids to the world.

i need- to be prepared spiritually and temporally.

i forget- who's in charge.

i am happy- when I'm doing what God wants me to do- serving my family, loving my neighbor, doing His will.

How do you feel today? You feel _______________? Play along if you would like.

    I-really enjoyed this post Kim. I feel like I could have written so many of these words myself.

    As for arguing about medicating your son, I say good for you. If you don't feel right about it, DO NOT let them do it. I know you will do what's best for him.

    You are such an inspiration to me. Do ya know that?

    That is a great post. I love to learn more about you, because you are so loving and sweet and strong. 2 years ago, my son's teachers suggested he had ADD and we should look into it and meds and all that. We knew he did not, and made the choice to work on his focusing skills in the classroom and at home. Now that he is in middle school where the schedule is a different class every hour and he moves around and has different teachers, he seems to be thriving! I think he was bored with the "same old", and I'm hoping this is a turning point for him. He is so smart, just had a hard time focusing. Sometimes it's hard being a mom!!!

    Fun tag! It was so fun getting together yesterday (if only for a little while!) I'm glad you are excited about our new find like I am! I can see that your Mom is on your mind a lot (obviously) and yes, Kim, I think she can see you and is watching out for you & most importantly that she is PROUD OF YOU!
