The "I" Survey

I don't usually do these survey type things, but I thought I might try one.

I am: a Christian, a wife, proud mom of 2, a daughter, sister, friend, dog mom, professional, mostly optimistic... a scatterbrain who is good at paperwork, better at directions than one might think, and not a pushover despite appearance...
I think: that people should not walk in the middle of the street when there is a perfectly good sidewalk.
I know: that when things seem too good to be true, they probably are.
I want: Tara to move home
I wish: more people would know that prayer is stronger than wishing. And that I had more self confidence. And that I could freeze Zachary in time, I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this age and am not ready for him to get big yet.
I hate: reading news stories filled with horrible things people do to each other, and when I see a child's spirit crushed...
I miss: the thrill of a new love, Tuesday playdates, and spontaneity
I fear: losing someone I love, and the kids being near water.
I feel: too deeply for some things, but not enough for others.
I hear: the music of Barney, Sesame Street, Elmo's World, and Little Einstein's... constantly and everywhere.
I smell: formula, ew
I crave: fried food
I search: for my drivers license at this very moment, but on a regular basis I search for things like keys, papers, my purse and phone...
I regret: not replacing the windows in our house with our rehab loan money, and some other things I have said and done along the way...
I love: my husband, my boys, and snacks.
I ache: when I hear someone has lost a child, when I hear and see parents in public treating their children harshly, and when i see old folks at restaurants eating alone, with a wedding band still on. You just know...
I care: for a living
I always: have to shower in the morning, or else my day is pretty much ruined.
I am not: one to back down from a belief, but I would like to think I do it in a nice way.
I believe: in Jesus.
I sing: badly, but often now that I have kids...
I cry: rarely, but usually to songs on the radio that strike a nerve.
I fight: rarely out loud, but with my actions (it's a BAD thing to do, I know.)
I write: down every penny I spend now that we are doing a new finances system.
I win: at Friends Scene It. Every time... Evil plan laugh... ho ho ho...
I lose: my mind sometimes with my little man who is exerting his own strong will these days.
I never: can explain or remember the details of ANYTHING, like how to make something, how to do something, what happened yesterday, what happened today, the plans for tomorrow... I may need my thyroid checked.
I confuse: people regularly with trying to explain things (see above)
I listen: for crying in the night....
I can usually be found: at home, with the family
I need: to go see my Grandma more and to decide if we want a third child ( I think yes)
I am happy about: the many blessings that I have been given in my family and life, sometimes I hold my breath because things are REALLY good!
I hope: I will never, never , never forget the way my boys' little smiles melt my heart into mush.
