TAG I'm it..

I have been off track for 2 weeks, and have 2 more to go!  Loving it.  The first week I studied for a test I am required to take.  Yeah it really sucked.  But anyway this post is mainly because I got tagged so here it goes! (thanks Ali!)

I am: glad I have time now to exercise as much as I want to.

I think: our times are getting scarier as each year passes.

I know: there is hope. we must have hope!

I want: to pass that test I took....it will take a miracle!

I have: 2 African Dwarf froggies that have been alive for over a year now, who are enjoying their newly upgraded swimming tank.

I dislike: arguers, people with closed minds, and when people don't make an effort to be nice.

I miss: Jake during the long work days....

I fear: the dark, Yogurt Stop closing!! haha

I feel: so good after I run.

I hear: a song from Cinderella playing on my phone, telling me I got a text

I smell: a Ute victory coming on!! (I hope I don't eat my words)

I crave: Mexican food, and frozen yogurt

I usually: clean up the house everyday

I cry: once a month. Things just seem so much worse at that time!

I search: for guidance and answers.

I wonder: what life will be like when Jake is done with school and I have my teaching license

I regret: cutting my hair off...but hey it's still fun. Thanks Meg for my cute hair and bangs...I am happy to have short hair again!

I am happy: when I get to see Jake when he comes home....Home just isn't HOME without him

I wish: Doritos didn't taste so good!

I love: my husband, my family, friends, the temple..the church

I care: about staying in shape. always.

I always: double check our locks before we go to bed.

I worry: about Bailey, my chocolate lab, getting old

I am not: very common sense smart

I remember: fast sunday every month

I believe: there is a big difference between parents who make time to be with their kids and those who don't.

I sing: with everything in the car.  

I argue: with no one.

I write: on a whiteboard with cool markers.

I win: not much!  I get bored at many games so I stop trying.

I lose: respect for people who take advantage of other people

I don't understand: why I like to mix my food...cereal mainly.

I can usually be found: wherever jake is, or at my laptop

I need: to decide what to get others for christmas so I can get it done!

I forget: some things about Bailey when she was a puppy

I tag: whoever wants to do this!

Are YOU Passing Kindergarten?

Well it's that time of the school year: Parent Teacher Conferences.  Which means I spend hours here and hours there doing report cards.  Although it takes time, I enjoy it because I get to spend 10-15 concentrating on each individual student.  Which is really hard to find time for.  But I think there are some basic, important things we learn when we are 5 that hopefully we will never forget or let go of...So are YOU passing grade K??

1.  Do you say please and thank you to everyone?

2. Do you tell others you think their shirt is cute, or their hair is pretty?

3.  Do you tell someone everyday that you love them, and give them a two-armed hug, remembering to squeeze so tight with all your might?

4. Do you write your name in your very best handwriting?

5. Do you ask for help when you need it?

6. Do you admit your mistakes and take advice from other people who really want you to succeed, or may not even know you very well?

7. Do you share? (kindergartners never keep things for themselves...food, money, pencils, compliments)

8. Do you have a quiet mouth and LISTEN to others?

9. Do you love everything about everyday, the weather, the leaves, smiles, hugs, recess?

10.  Do you bring little presents to people that you know are simple but will make them smile?

11. Do you use polite words?

10.  Do you day "I CAN DO IT" everyday?

11. Do you forgive and forget?

There is much more!  But I am pretty tired and would love some sleep! TO be continued.... PS here are some glimpses at our lives lately.  I had never seen a throwing up pumpkin until Ashley did this one.  I got a kick out of it.
