Real World Mom

I snagged this from Heather at Singing With My Heart, who snagged it from Jen at Eternally Huckdoll–please take a moment and go say hello to both of them!

I am… a mother, a student, a woman.

I have…great kids, a loving “other half”, wonderful friends, a comfortable home, a bright future.

I know…I am loved, I am strong, I will succeed.

I think…optimistically–most of the time.

I don’t think…I’d be the person I am today without the people who have been there for me along the way.

I want…to continue on my journey to become the best person I can be.

I have…lived through a lot–and survived.

I like…cuddling with my Sweetie, watching the rain, laying on the beach, and coffee.

I dislike… bugs.

I hate…dishonesty and mean-spirited people.

I dream…about graduating with my degree(s), of possibly getting married again someday, of finding a job where I can really make a difference.

I fear…losing loved ones, not doing well in school.

I am annoyed…when I put too much pressure on myself.

I crave…Tim’s touch when I’m away from him.

I usually…succeed when I decide I’m going to.

I search…for information, enlightenment, strength.

I hide…my emotions too often.

I wonder…how far I can go, and look forward to finding out!

I just can’t help…wanting to be helpful to others.

I regret…not believing in myself earlier.

I love…my children, Tim, my friends, my life.

I can’t live without…my family, my friends, coffee, chocolate, my laptop, my cell phone G1.

I try to…give 100% to whatever I’m involved in…work, relationships, school, etc.

I enjoy…time spent with my kids, Tim, and my fur and feather babies; being in the sun; taking photos; quiet time; gardening.

I don’t care…if everyone agrees with my choices. It’s my life, and I’m the one living it.

I always…try to think of others.

I never want to…hurt the ones I love.

I rely on…Tim, my friends, myself.

I believe…I am very lucky to be who–and where–I am today.

I dance…with BlackJack.

I sing…mostly in the car or in the shower.

I argue…only when necessary.

I write…from the heart.

I win…when I give my all.

I lose…when I doubt myself.

I wish…for my dreams to come true.

I listen…to what people don’t say.

I don’t understand…why there are so many closed minds.

I’m scared of…not succeeding.

I forget…people’s names (it’s old age).

I am happy…because I have come so far. I’m going to school and doing very well. My children are happy and healthy. I share my life with the man I am meant to be with. I love, and am loved.

Feel free to join in the fun and tell us about you!
