I See: kids that love hugs, attention and a listening ear, a husband who works so hard, kids that are growing up to fast for me....

I need: more time to do all the things I want to do with them...

I wish: we all understood why were here and what our purpose is.

I HATE: feeling alone sometimes, amidst the chaos of daily life.
I MISS: mountains and the ocean and my little babies
I HEAR: silence. a cough here and there calmness after a crazy day.
I WONDER: where we'll be in 10 years from now
I REGRET: not much because it got me where I am today.
I AM NOT: lazy. I can't slow down at night sometimes.
I DANCE: with my children. with D in the living room at random dance party nights in the kitchen:)
I SING: in the car.
I CRY: when it hurts.
I AM NOT ALWAYS: as good at following my instincts as I should be. and want to be.
I MAKE WITH MY HANDS: food for my family. jewelry for my future Europe Trip.
I WRITE: notes everyday in my kids' lunches. I hope they remember that forever.
I CONFUSE: my kids sometimes ......trying to be consistent good thing they still love me:)
I NEED: a D and ME break.
I SHOULD: do a lot of things I don't and want to be better at.
I START: today to do the things I want to do better in, better than I did yesterday and improve on today.
