Just For Fun

I found this blog that asks its readers a series of questions weekly just for fun and to learn more about everyone. I thought it was interesting so I will try it out. Just one question for this week... We'll see how it goes!

*Do you live close to where you grew up? Why?


My answer to this: Well, I kind of grew up everywhere but I spent the largest amount of time in Sand Springs. I live in Pryor now which is about an hour away from there. I moved to Pryor because a large majority of my family lives here. There are many other places I would like to live and things I would like to do. At the same time, I love that my kids have family close by because family is very important to kids. All of my great childhood memories involve my parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, etc. and I think it's important for my kids to get to have those memories as well! :)

Feel free to leave a comment with your own answer to this question. Thanks for playing along!!

Confessions

So I had this whole long blog written about my latest struggles but I decided to scrap it because even I couldn't handle my own whining. I really wanted to start blogging again because there is a certain kind of therapy in writing down thoughts and sending them out there into the internet abyss. I'm still not sure what all I want to write about but I know I want to do something...

For this first post I decided to just do a few confessions about some things I've learned about myself over the last few very trying months. So... here goes!

1) I am a total control freak. I even wish I could control that about myself!
2) I have always believed that a person's true character is revealed during hard times and this belief has left me realizing that I have A LOT of work to do!
3) I am tooooo analytical. I think this ties into #1 a little.
4) I have learned who I can rely on and who I cannot.
5) I am going to put more time and effort into being the wife and mother I should be.
6) This is something I knew already but have experience FOR REAL now: Prayer works!
7) I am a little crazy and am prepared to accept that about myself! :)

Self-realization is a scary thing. Oh well, as a wise person once said, "Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind." ~Dr.Suess
