Random Thoughts

I'm a terrible blogger. Thus, the only way for me to recap the exciting, and not so exciting, adventures of my life is to list off the ten most random thoughts of the week.

1. Kids say the darnest things. Last week in church when I was trying to cuddle with Taylor, he yelled out loud, "Quit touching me. I am not your husband."

2. I am stuck in an endless battle between being competitive and wanting to enjoy sports simply for the workout and friendships. I am starting to worry I am too emotionally invested into wanting to win all of my soccer games. Is that really so bad? I'm also itching to play softball!

3. I just bought my first order of Schwan's delivery food. What an interesting concept....a nice old man brings Cordon Bleu right to my freezer. Hmmm...what a great world we live in.

4. I've decided I am addicted to movies. (Thanks a lot mom!) Now that I am off for summer break, I want to go all the time. I even experienced going to the theater all alone for the very first time. I feel brave and creepy all at the same time.

5. Why are people so afraid of overxtending their children? We attend two soccer games a week, plus karate lessons, t-ball, swimming lessons, young women's activities, etc. and yet we still sit at home on our butts watching too much TV. I think my child is still normal and we love being active and supportive of each other.

6. I am so thankful! I really am. I have so much to be grateful for. Despite an array of ridiculous and annoying health problems, there are so many things in life that I appreciate. The more I battle minute physical ailments, the more I realize there are hundreds of people experiencing far more tramautic circumstances, than a lame sinus infection. I just need to buck up and get over it. My heart goes out to those struggling with fertility, cancer, loss of a family member, drug addicitions, etc. I am a lucky woman and want God to know how thankful I am for all that I have.

7. I really wish everyone would quit asking when we are going to have another baby. For one, it's none of your business. Secondly, it's so awkward to talk about. Third, why do people in the church automatically assume that if we only have one child (and am working full time), that I must be doing something wrong. Finally, get over it people! I am happy with my life. Whether I have 3 more children, or no more children, I am happy to be a mother to a beautiful 4-year old who teaches me the treasures of life.

8. I really hope I win the million dollar prize in the United Supermarket grocery game. We are SO close. And since I can't gamble, and already failed at the Price is Right, this is my one legal shot at getting lucky. lol. I would even settle for winning the 1 free year of gasoline.

9. Technology is amazing. I can't believe how far I have come in overcoming my fear of gadgets and gismos. Despite the fact I still don't own an I-pod, MP3 player or I-phone, I am pretty darn awesome. I have all the basic luxuries of life....a DV3 recorder(which I personally believe is the key to a successful marriage), a cell phone (where I can finally send a text in less than 5 minutes), a Facebook and Twitter page (to stay connected to extended family, ward members and former students), a new Flip cam to upload videos to youtube and a new set of wireless headphones. Crazy. I feel like I'm living in a completly different world than 10 years ago. For better or worse I am learning to utilize technology in a useful way. Who would have thought that "I" would become a certified online teacher and be anxious to create monthly podcasts for educational purposes. I'm still laughing about it!

10. Family is wonderful! I love my husband and son. I love my mother and siblings. I love my grandparents, cousins, aunts/uncles, etc. I am so happy that the trival fights of yester-year are a thing of the past. Family is the most important part of who I am. I am so happy my sister is married to a great guy. I am eager to watch them overcome the challenges of being newlyweds. I am thankful I will be with my family after this life. It was such a touching experience to watch my in-laws finally be sealed to their parents in the temple, after nearly 60 years. It was so tender and emotional to know we could be together forever. I just don't get how people wouldn't want that. It leaves me deep in thought and dumbfounded.


Well, thanks for sharing in my random thoughts of the week. This was my lame attempt at journaling. Hopefully you won't think I'm crazy, but instead will reflect on your own inner thoughts and be willing to share with the world who you really are!
