Tagged!

Tagged by Rosie

I am: a wife, a mother, a sister, a daughter, a friend

I want: a Michael Buble' CD and Lasik

I have: a wonderful life

I dislike: getting up in the morning

I miss: being in Utah for Halloween

I fear: that I won't teach my kids all they need to know to live in today's world

I feel: overwhelmed by the war we are waging against Satan

I hear: silence (FINALLY, now that the kids have stopped screaming and fallen asleep)

I crave: Eric's arms

I cry: when I listen to the radio in the car (specifically when I hear "Just A Dream" by Carrie Underwood or "You Raise Me Up" by Josh Groban)

I usually: check my email and read blogs several times a day

I search: for things I haven't used in years, and suddenly, I need them!

I wonder: why Jolie has stopped going to bed so well and now has to scream and scream and never settles down!

I regret: yelling at my kids and not letting them be imperfect

I love: being with my family

I care: about how Eric does on his candidacy exam

I worry: about flying to Utah alone with the kids

I am not: patient, or very efficient, but I'm trying

I remember: the great times I had with my roommates at Ricks; I had a dream about Karen and Marian just last night!

I believe: in God, the Eternal Father, and in His Son, Jesus Christ, and in the Holy Ghost

I dance: with my kids to "Colors," "Lonestar," and "The Firebird"

I sing: in the ward choir, but I'm not really a singer

I don't always: remember what I needed to do when I turn the computer on

I argue: with Mierae about food, clothes, toys, etc. And she's only 3!

I write: lists, emails, blog posts, and comments :)

I win: the last one to bed every night; and consequentially, the last one up in the morning!

I lose: patience a lot

I wish: I were a better mom

I listen: to country, pop, and classical music, and NPR

I don't understand: why I can lie awake at night and take forever to get to sleep

I can usually be found: at the computer, reading a blog

I need: to get more done

I forget: to plan ahead so that my kids have playdates set up ahead of time

I am happy: with the life I have. I am so blessed.

I tag: whoever wants to do this!

Umm are you kidding me? Patience, I guess you forget that really you have a lot of this. Remember your lovely "upstairs" roomies doing taebo in the early mornings and ya remember how you always had patience. I still remember getting mad at Val for continuing to do it after we were asked not to. And umm, remember the patience you had with this sorry sap of a new missionary!! I have lived with you for almost 2 years altogether (crazy huh) and I would put you as one of the people at the top of my list who have great patience. It looks like Heavenly Father needs you to have even more though. You must be aspiring to something BIG!!!

And are you kidding me on the better mom stuff, WHATEVER, that's all I got to say to that. I loved reading this though because it reminds me of all the things I love about Robyn!!! Man I miss you.

I lost my patience a long time ago and still haven't found it.

I love this! And really, whenever I saw you with your children I was always so amazed at your patience and positive parenting style.

You're awesome.
