Kerry tagged me several days ago, and I'm just now getting around to this. Actually, it was 8 days ago, so I was planning this the entire time!
"8 is the magic number, yes it is, it's the magic (cue drums) number" Jack Johnson sings it with "3", but today we are changin things up a bit!
*8 Things I'm looking forward to*1. Having these April showers turn into a lot of May flowers. It seems like its been raining for a long time here in the Midwest...can't wait to see all the flowers.
2. Getting rid of this darn cold that has settled itself into my chest...looking forward to not coughing ALL the time.
3. Opening the windows in the house again...I love the weather when it's warm but not too hot...I love to have the wind blowing through the house.
4. Getting my blog book done on blub.com....maybe I'll have it done by the 8th month....(August, that gives me 3 more months to work on it!)
5. Going to the beach sometime this summer....Max has been asking to go to the beach...not looking forward to the drive, but the family time will be awesome!
6. Watching my kids grow and become the people God intends them to be.
7. Being here to do number 6
8. Researchers finding a cure for MS, cancer and all the other terrible diseases that cause so people so much pain.
*8 Things I did yesterday*It wasn't an exciting day here yesterday...just to warn you!
1. Went to the grocery store
2. Did 2 loads of laundry (that means washed, dried, folded and put away...just in case Andy is reading this)
3. Switched the kids winter and summer clothes, although it looks like they will need the winter stuff today (totally my luck....oh and Elizabeth...we'll be sending some clothes your way!)
4. Got Maggie's birthday party invites printed and ready to mail today!
5. Made a
"bead thing" with Max..he loves to make these!
6. Took Maggie to get her hair trimmed, she did much better this time...
remember this post!7. Missed a church meeting (sorry Amy!)
8. Took a hot (well very warm...just in case my doctor is reading this) bath and was in bed at 8:30. (again I was thinking ahead to this post and knew the 8 o'clock bedtime would work out well)
Told you...it wasn't exciting around here yesterday at all
*8 Things I wish I could do*1. Not worry and stress out so much over the little things (I am trying to work on this...but need a lot more practice)
2. Sing or dance, or have some sort of creative talent...oh, I can do a craft project or two, but most of the time, I get the idea from somewhere else.
3. Take a sneak peak into heaven...I'd love to just check the place out for a few minutes...like an open house on Sundays where you get to walk through people's homes for sale.
4. Speak what my mind is thinking. I tend to have great thoughts in my mind, but can never really get them out clearly when speaking to others. See, that doesn't even make sense.
5. I could be more knowledgeable in understanding the bible, politics, and history! I think I need to read and study more
6. Start my own organization business...call it "Tidy Up with Traci" I would totally love to help people get there life organized.
7. Have more patience...although, I'm done praying for that....cause we all know what happens when you pray for patience.
8. Cook something so well, that every time I was going somewhere people would say, "Bring your famous .........!, everyone always loves when you make ...........!"
*8 Shows I love to watch*1. Jon & Kate plus 8
2. Diners, Drive-ins, & Dives....(Gotta love Guy!)
3. Divine Design with Candice Olson
4. Oprah
5. American Idol
6. CSI
Can't think of any more...I'm usually in bed when all the good shows are on
*Tag 8 others*I'm just going to leave this up to you...if you want to play along great...if you want to play, let me know and I will post your link at the end of this post!
Have a gr8 day!
