My 25 things...

My sister, LeaAnn, asked me how I was able to come up with 25 things about myself. Truth is, I could add at least 10 more easy. So what does that say about me? At age 34, I have really come to know myself or is it that I am just opinionated? Probably both. So be grateful this isn't a list of 100 things about me...

1. I never make a shopping list or to-do list. Even if it takes me 3 trips to Walmart to remember trash bags.

2. I do not like the physical act of writing, which may account for #1.

3. I love to organize things, but don't keep it up very well so I have to re-organize often.

4. I get annoyed when people claim they are just being honest to justify rudeness.

5. Sometimes I don't understand my 2nd grader's homework directions.

6. I wish my dad knew how truly wonderful he is. I wish telling him was enough.

7. I loved my wedding day so much, that sometimes I wish we could just get married again for fun.

8. I wonder what kind of a person I was when I was young. I honestly can't remember much of my youth.

9. I can't believe that I have broken so many of MY motherhood rules with my 4th child.

10. I pray that my children will always know they can talk to me and I will listen.

11. I don't like to think about food and wish we didn't have to eat so often. Once a day would be great!

12. I think face wrinkles are fine. What's the big deal?

13. Enjoy laundry, hate dusting.

14. I do not bake because I do not crave baked goods.

15. I miss Washington and the color green.

16. I can eat a whole carton of ice cream easy, but don't. That is just selfish.

17. I love movies.

18. I hope that one day I can say I truly deserve the children I have been given.

19. I have never seen an episode of Little House on the Prairie. My brothers wouldn't allow it.

20. I make my bed everyday.

21. I say my prayers everyday, and a plead for more patience is usually included.

22. I have a hard time crying when I feel sad, but cry watching movies, t.v., or commercials all the time.

23. Feel guilty for making my son get his tonsils out, especially when it didn't really help much.

24. I find it curious that mayonnaise itself is so disgusting, but makes so many foods taste yummy.

25. I love it when Chad asks me on a date BEFORE Friday!

It is fun to get to know you better. By the way, you were very much the same as you are now as a child! Fun, Happy, Conscientious (sp) involved,,,,,

Very nice Sarah! I didn't know several of those things. #5 totally cracked me up.

And you don't like to eat?? Where the H did you get that from?

I thought it was hard to think of 25 things at first.. but once I got past #9 or so I could've gone on forever! Now I keep thinking of things I wish I would have put on my list instead of what I actually did! oh well.

I can't cry either. When we have a very spiritually touching lesson in RS on Sunday, and everyone else around me is crying...I feel like a heathen and feel like pinching myself really really hard until I can.

Great list! You are so fabulous, Sarah!

I loved reading that list! You are one of a kind. Probably almost everything I wish I could be.

Loved #16, and #19, really...you've been deprived!

Erin said...

Funny you should mention that your name was not on my list. I was trying last night to add it, but it would not let me add anything. Not to worry, it is there now.

Danielle said...

Oh, and FYI, my brother Jeremy called Little House...Outhouse On The Prairie. Our brothers must have been in cahoots.
