Tag! You're It!!!

I was tagged by Colette, sorry it has taken so long but since we all know I am perfect it was really hard for me to come up with any goals. I have already accomplished everything I could ever want to. The rules are as follows: List 3 Joys, 3 Fears, 3 Goals, 3 Current Obsessions, and 3 Random Surprising Facts about yourself. Tag 5 people at the end of your post by leaving their names. So here is what I came up with...

3 Joys

My Family
The Gospel
Dancing

3 Fears

Dying before I raise my kids
Losing one of my kids
Not getting to the celestial kingdom

3 Goals

Organize my house
Read the BOM cover to cover
Get in shape

3 Current Obsessions

Getting my house organized
Blogging
Dancing

3 Surprising Facts About Me

I'm really not perfect and I can't do everything. (is that two things?)
It doesn't bother me to go without a shower for 3+ days if I am camping or staying at home.
Like Shellie I will eat food off of the floor but I will also eat off of pretty much anyone elses plate. (Germaphobe I am not)

Allright so there it is...sorry to let everyone who thought I was perfect down, but I guess you'd find out eventually. Now it's your turn...I'm tagging Leah, Erin, Tamara, Kat (gotta getta blog) and Mom (you too).

Chris 'n Leah said...: Hey thanks Valerie...You know I had to do it because it was you pressuring me! And if you read my comments under my "Tag" you will see that my glass half empty has intrigued another. And you are the only person with the answer, lucky you!

By the way, how does Gary feel about kissing that "dirty" mouth? ha, ha, ha!!!; July 21, 2008 at 5:41 AM
shellie said...: Valerie,
You did have us all fooled. The pressure of doing it all was off when you left the neighborhood, but I would still take you back anyday. Funny thing, it looks like we are buying Colette and Aarons house. I am excited!

Benjamin

Our 7 year old comedian always keeps us laughing. Benjamin is such a nut with his goofy dances and crazy faces. He always has a wierd sound or silly comment to make. Benjamin is so creative and artistic. He loves all things crafty. Just give him some paper, scissors, glue and maybe some paint and he surprises me with something amazing everytime. Benji plays so well with his brothers and sister. He is so tender with the younger ones but he can really keep up with Spencer too. We love him and his happy, happy personality.

Andrew

Our 5 year old curiosity keeps us busy. Andrew is very curious and inquizative. He is always investigating how things work and what makes them do what they do. He likes to take things apart whether with his hands or using an implement of some sort. Andrew is the most loving, sweet and huggable boy ever. He says "I love you Mommy." at least 100 times a day. Usually in conjunction with a big hug. Maybe it's just a ploy so I won't get too mad when he is mischevious. Either way, it works. We love his intense eyebrows and very animated gestures.

Desirae Jeanette

Our 3 year old split personality is a terror if she is tired or hungry. (kind of like her mom) Desirae can be an emotional wreck if something sets her off. At times she will start crying for whatever reason and won't be able to stop. Mom can usually get her settled down with a rocking chair and some snuggles and songs. My only worry is that if she is at this point now, what will she be like in 10 years??? No matter the outcome, we are so lucky and blessed to have such a sweet, beautiful little lady in our family. Her brothers all adore her and really watch out for her. We love her and her emotional episodes.

Great Dad

Our Super-Fun Daddy loves playing with his kids. Gary is the best Daddy and husband. His greatest desire is that we are all happy. He spends all of his time and energy doing whatever it takes to give his family all they need. Gary really enjoys his job as the Postmaster so his time at work is not too bad. Gary is so fun. All the kids get so excited when Daddy comes home. They all run and scream to the door as he comes in. He is an amazing man. We love his humor and how hard he works for us.

Lucky Mom

Our Nutty Mom is a bit wierd. All I have to say about my life is that I am THE luckiest lady ever. I spend my days at home with my "perfect" children. While they play quietly together, with never a squabble or dispute, I get to take uninterupted time to develop my personal interests. I exercise 1 hour every morning then shower, do my hair and make-up and get dressed in well tailored clothes. I then prepare a perfectly balanced breakfast of homemade waffles, freshly sliced fruit, wholesome milk and all before anyone else gets out of bed...Then the baby starts screaming from her crib down the hall and I have to lug my tired butt out of bed and get my real day started. Seriously, I wouldn't trade it for the world. What other job would allow me to spend an entire day in front of the computer setting up a blog all about my fantastic life???
