I've been tagged!

Ok so I've been tagged by a very dear old friend. Well she's not old but we have been friends ever since I can remember.

Here goes......Here are 7 things that I learned in 2007 and 7 new goals for 2008.

Lessons in 2007!
1. It is OK to be happy with everything. Who cares what everyone else thinks. I am in control of my own life.

2. I have learned not to keep thing bottled up! I let it happen twice this year and both times I exploded on 2 peolpe who deserved every bit of it and I felt so good after. I really have learned to let out my feelings when they happen and not to wait until the next time.

3. I can't protect everyone. I guess it is the mother hen in me coming out but, I have felt as though I need to protect my friends and family from things that can be prevented. But I know that they can't grow and learn to protect themselves if I stand in the way.

4. The best receipe for happiness, trust, kindness, and anything is to believe in yourself. This was a hard one to learn.

5. I am a good mother and wife. Since Wes is gone so much, it has been so hard to do things on my own. I many times have doubted my judgement in my choices I make in raising our children. I know I can only do my best and pray that it is the right choice to make. I know I have made the wrong choices in some things but I look at my children and I know they are going to turn out just fine. I know that I am not the perfect mother but I am a great one!

6. Life is fragile! Things can change in a matter of seconds!

7. Stop to smell the roses! Our kids grow way too fast and you have to stop and enjoy each and every minute of it. It seems like yesterday that Madison was born, and she will be 7 years old this year.

Goals for 2008
1. Buy or build a house!

2. Enjoy my kids!

3. Travel to see Wes at work more!

4. Enjoy my new nephew that will be
here in less than a month.

5. Help my sister-in-law as much as
she has helped me.

6. Organize my house better! With 3 kids, I have
lost my touch with organization. I hate not
knowing where little fingers or my own for that
matter, have carried things off to.

7. I am going to try to forgive my brother's girlfriend.
I hope she will meet me half way as well. I think
we both need to work on things.


So since I have so many friends and family on here.....
I tag Laura, Dana, and Dianna!!!!
I also challenged all my other friends who look at my blog
to make one of their own so I can keep in touch better with them well.....
