I've Been Tagged...

I have been tagged by my cousin Lindsay...


Here are the rules that you must follow if you are tagged:

1. Link to your tagger and post these rules.

2. Share 7 facts about yourself: some random, some weird.

3. Tag 7 people at the end of your post and list their names (linking to them).

4. Let them know they've been tagged by leaving a comment at their blogs.



7 facts about myself:



1. I'm a single mom of two beautiful kids. I have a nine (almost 10, holy crap) year old daughter and a 2 & 1/2 year old son. While it might be a trial at times doing it all on my own (with help from some amazing friends), I know that I also have the greatest prizes! There is nothing like seeing your daughter confidently stop a soccer ball from going into the goal or dancing front row center in her dance competion or to see your son hit a ball with a bat for the first time or run to you with those happy eyes knowing you've finally come to pick him up, even if it's only been an hour. Being a mom, no matter the situation comes with it's hardships and rewards! There is no place in life I would rather be, although sometimes a beach does sound better, than a mom at this time for these two special children.

2. I LOVE MY JOB! After so many jobs and so long fighting the teaching idea I finally gave in! I can't believe how happy I am in my job! I don't know what took me so long, but now that I'm here I can't imagine changing careers.

3. I have to load the dish washer a certain way. There is an art to it. It drives me crazy to watch my roommate or the children load it. I have had to learn to not correct others when I feel like they are doing it wrong...everybody has a right to load the dish washer the way they want.

4. I fear I will never meet my soul mate or that I met him and I didn't recognize him and I have lost my chance. Sad but a true concern. I really don't want to do this on my own, but I don't want just anyone, I want the one! The one that compliments who I am and vice versa. The one who will love my children. I don't think I should just wait, or just search...so then what should I do? PRAY! I'll keep you updated! Hopefully there will be a happy ending!

5. I throw myself into the books I'm reading. I get personally involved. The characters are my friends. When I'm not reading or I have finished the book I find myself wondering what they are doing or what could be next. It's a little scary (and maybe an answer to the "no soul mate" question), but I enjoy leaving reality if just for a little while!

6. I'm finding that you never stop finding out new things about yourself! New ideas, new likes, new dislikes, new theories... The list can go on and on. Sometimes it's the same old thing just now you understand why. It's nice to know that it really doesn't get boring as you get older.

7. I'm happy! It's that simple!

Okay...now it's your turn...I tag:

Maggie

I guess that's it. Everyone else has already been tagged.

I'm glad we can finally leave comments! I love your answers--they are so personal and real! I'll pray for ya about the soul mate thing, because you deserve to find him, and I know you will!
