I'm It!

I've been Meme tagged. Thanks, Stephanie--I know what you are thinking--if you have to put yourself out there, so does everyone else!! :-) I'm not supposed to overthink my answers--very hard for me!--but, here goes:

Complete the phrase with the 1st thought in your head:

I know.... who I am.

I believe... in God.

I fought....for what I thought was right.

I am angered....when people act like hypocrites.

I love....my family.

I need.... periodic vacations and changes of scenery.

I take....my responsibilities seriously.

I hear.... all of my kids talking at once.

I drink....iced tea on my way to pick the kids up from school. It's my caffeine boost for the afternoon!

I hate.... when I don't have enough time to do everything that needs to be done.

I use.... schedules, lists, and day planners!

I want .... my kids to grow up and be happy, productive adults who make the world just a little better.

I like.... when people make amends.

I feel.... stressed when I don't know what the plan is!

I wear .... comfy clothes.

I left.... home when I was 18 and moved to Okinawa right after getting married to Farrel. Crazy, I know! I can't believe that my parents didn't tie me up and keep me from getting married at that age.

I do.... too many things at once.

I hope.... for a better world for my kids.

I dream.... almost every night and sometimes even remember the details.

I drive.... an environment killer. My daughter is insisting that we buy a hybrid.

I listen....to my kids' stories after school.

I type ....much better than I did in high school. Typing was the only class that I almost made a C in!

I am ... getting a little calmer as I get older.

I wish .... I had a bigger house and a pool in the backyard!! Come on, I love my life, but it's Texas! Doesn't everyone want a pool???

I regret.... Wow! Probably too many to list. Biggest regret...not staying in California for a year after Farrel got out of the military to see if he would have loved the civilian job he had been offered there. We loved California but we LOVE Texas and thought we needed to hurry and get back home. We were so young--we should have stayed for one more year. Now, we don't know what we might have missed.

I care....about the details.

I should.... take more time for myself.

I am.... more outgoing than I used to be.

I said.... Please stop talking so loudly.

I wonder.... what college my kids will choose (and which college will choose my kids!)

I changed.... after I had kids.

I cry.... less now than I used to--Usually only at sad movies or when I think of how much the kids have grown.

I lose....my cell phone in my purse all the time!! Maybe I need a more organized purse.

I leave....little notes in my kids' lunchboxes.

More than you want to know about me?? Probably!
O.k., I tag Christy and Amye. Let's see what they have to say!

I am so glad you took the challenge! I learned a little more about you. Thanks!! Oh, and where do you get the iced tea? I love it, too!!

I have to pass Chicken Express when I am picking the kids up, so I usually whip in there. But, I also like the tea at Chik-fil-A and I LOVE the tea at McAlister's. We'll have to meet up there and get some lunch and sweet tea!
