Tagged!

My sister-in-law tagged me a while ago, but things have been a little crazy at our house! So here it is, better late than never right??

I am... Brenda (Williamson) Lowry, wife to Aaron, daughter of Richard and Monica, and mother to Morgan, Paige and Carson.

I miss...my sisters! I wish we all lived right by each other!

I think...I need to stay in town for a couple of weekends and get my life back in order.

I love... my family, immediate and extended!!

I know... I should be more patient and laid back!

I want...to learn more about computers! Sometimes I feel like such a dummy!

I search...for activities to keep my kids busy, and really yummy recipes.

I wish...I could stop worrying, and I could take that same dumb genetic trait that I passed on to my sweet daugter Morgan, away from her!

I hate...when I lay in bed at night and wish that I would have been a better mom to my little children.

I am scared...of way too many things! The list would be far to long!

I fear...that something will happen to my children.

I am always...trying to clean! I wish I could find a happy place in my head, even if my house is messy! I am sure my kids would love it!

I love...my family, and days when I have NO scheduled appointments, and I can relax a little bit!

I feel...blessed to have a home, a hardworking husband, great parents, and three pretty cute little kiddo's!

I hear...the radio! The music really helps get the dishwasher unloaded, and re-loaded!

I smell...Cherry Clove Chutney, that is my very favorite Scentsy scent! It makes my whole day better!!

I don't always...get up early in the morning! I love to sleep in, and hate that I am REALLY not a morning person.

I wonder...how much more I could get accomplished if I was a morning person. Excersize, dishes unloaded, laundry folded, dinner in the crock-pot, all before 9 AM? My ultimate dream!!!

I care...about my loved ones.

I regret...not videotaping my children more.

I am not afraid...I'm not even sure I can think of one...

I believe...that my Heavenly Father Loves and knows me.

I danced...in the kitchen with Carson last week! (I am not that good, so he is about the only one I let see!)

I sing...in the car.

I write... a little, but not all that well. I took journalism in High School, so you would think I would be better! (Mostly I just wanted to go to California with the school newspaper! It was a FABULOUS time!)

I win...nothing- except maybe a game now and then. The last time I won something was a 21 inch TV, two weeks after Aaron and I got married! That was 11 years ago, so I am not exactly lucky in that department!

I lose...my keys almost everytime I go to my parents house! I don't loose them at my house, but so much when I go visit them!

I never...go to bed on time! The house is so quiet and peaceful, I just stay up later and later! It is not a good thing, because it is quite hard to be a good mom when you are delirious!!

I listen...to my husband chat about his day at work.

I can be found...usually in the kitchen! Not that it is my favorite place, but I really do like to cook, and then the mess seems to go on forever!

I read...alot, but I seem to let everything in my life slide when I do. I stay up too late, I don't get the laundry done, and we have no dinner, so my family is really starting to not appreciate it when I find a book I can't put down.

I am so happy...when my family is happy!

I tag Nichelle, Jeni, Elena, and Hanna!

Tagged Again!!

So, this is for Nichelle- she had to tag me back, and even though it is almost 1 in the morning, I am going to get this done before I head to Boise tomorrow.

When we went to have it done, she was barely 2 and they had to take her from me screaming until they could give her the gas and put her to sleep! I just sat in the hallway and cried till I heard her stop! And then I just worried because they were doing surgery on my baby girl!

Well, I am not sure who has and hasn't done this tag, but I am going to tag Jessica, Hanna, and Brandi! I would tag Michelle, but I know you have just a bit TOO much going on this week!! Sorry if you girls have already done this one!

Our little family is packed and ready to head to our Annual Lowry Family Reunion! We are excited to go to Boise and McCall (where we have never been before!)I will check on all of you in a week! Have a good one, enjoy this wonderful weather we have waited for forever!!!

Tagged!

So, I was tagged by Janeal! It has taken me a while, but here goes, 6 unspectacular quirks about me!

1. I have to get the lotion one out of the way! I, like Janeal, have to have lotion on. After I wash my hands, bath kids, wash dishes, and even if I wake up in the night, I always am putting on lotion. I even remmeber my friends in High School teasing me about this. I cannot stand the feeling of my hands and feet being dry!

2. I don't care for the dark. I let it make me a little nervous! My mind starts to wander, and then I can't make it stop. I know people usually outgrow this personality trait at age 6, but I guess I am not that fortunate!

3. I REALLY like things clean! (Not that I ever get my hearts desire!) I like to clean out closets, because they stay cleaner for a longer amount of time than a kitchen or living room! I like to look at a clean closet, and feel like I have accomplished something!

4. I stay up way too late at night! I can't make myself go to bed! I really love my bed, but I can't make myself head there when my house is so quiet and peaceful, and sometimes even tidy! But I am not a morning person either, so we have a bit of a problem!

5. I blush ALL the time! My own family can make me blush if they just tell everyone to look at me at the same time! I hate to be in front of people or put on the spot and when I am, my face always lets everyone know just how much!

6.Yeah! Last one! These are becoming a bit embarassing! I am the opposite of crafty! I have tried and tried, and 99% of the things I try to make end up in rubbermaids or the garbage cans, because I can't stand to look at them. I have realized I do so much better if I just purchase the project already completed! Then, I just have the huge problem of figuring out where to put it! Which usually means under my bed or against the wall for a couple of months while I think about it!

I feel a little strange posting this! It is so much funner to blog about all the cute things your kids do instead of all the strange things I do! Anyhow, I tag Michelle, Jessica, Nichelle, and Hanna
