Things I've discovered!

I haven't posted for quite awhile on here because frankly things have been hard for me and I'm not sure how to express myself. So I came up with a list of things that I've discovered about myself and my family lately.

*I miss my dear mother like crazy. (No one loves you like your Mom!)
*I would not be a very good single mom/ I'm just not good on my own (thank you God for my hubby)
*I'm a crier! (that's putting it mildly)
*For some reason my boys do not like wearing jeans.....strange I know.
*I have a very weird almost crazy hatred for misplacing or losing things/ I know no one likes to but I have to really talk myself down when this happens.
*I am trying to be more conscious about my purchasing habits (fair trade or something that will directly profit someone that is using it for a great cause)
*I'm really not used to others helping me in any way.
*I have a lot to work on spiritually, emotionally, & physically.....I know it's quite a shock to me, too! :)
*I really dislike clutter!
*I've lost a sense of my "style" over the years and am enjoying finding it again.
*That I so really hate to wait on something that I yearn for and to not have any sense of a schedule when it might happen (hence adoption) I think God might be working there.
Well, that's just a few things that have popped into my head lately. Life has been a constant adaptation lately with Joel's changing work schedule so I feel like my emotions and head are all over the place. Please Lord keep me on the "path" and don't let me straggle too far.
