Wishes


So I didn't quite finish my list of 39 things before my birthday since TODAY is my birthday.

I've struggled with this list as of late.  Maybe I just don't think I am very interesting?  But I'm going to wrap it up here:

35.  I love wispy, soft, fluffy dandelions.  Granted I really don't like the look of the poor little yellow sprouts in the grass, but I love the wispy ones.

36.  I have perfectionist tendencies.  Myabe that's why I have become a procrastinator over the past few years; if I don't have the time and focus to do something right/well, I just put off doing it.  It's a snowball effect, of course.  The longer you put something off, the chances of doing something well/right have diminished almost completely.  Talking to Ethan's teacher, I believe some of this has rubbed off on my oldest of offspring.  Is that a bad thing?

37.  My skin is becoming my mom's.  I remember as a kid being able to tan so easily.  As I have aged, though, I burn and/or freckle almost every time I'm in the sun for any period of time without sunscreen.  Just like my mom.

38.  I'm not a religious person, but I do believe in a higher power.  God.  Jesus.  I need to work harder to present this to my boys.  Jason grew up in a very religious household, so he very much doesn't want to be a hypocrite.  I think if I were Catholic (like him), he would have continued going to church regularly.  I'm an evil influence, I guess.  (Especially in his mom's and grandma's eyes.)  It's tough.  But I pray every night before I go to sleep, thanking Him for the things I have and asking for His protection for my family.  My boys.

and

39.  I have an almost insatiable sweet tooth.  Just like my dad.  Jason said he picked up cupcakes for us to have a little mini party tonight for my birthday.  I can't wait!  YUM :)
