A mystery is a reality whose existence we can perceive, but whose inner workings we cannot understand. Einstein.
That quote has absolutey nothing to do with this post by the way. I just liked it. So I stuck it up there. For no reason at all.
What’s that?
Oh you like it too?
I knew you would.
That’s why I put it up there.
Just for you.
Bet you thought I had some deep, profound & wise thing going on here huh? Nope. Not so much. But that’s okay. You can still think that. If it makes you feel better.
You know who is pretty deep, profound & wise? Melanie Faith. You should go check her out. She’s good people. And she’s challenged me to Get Some Goals! Ooooh. That hurts a little. lol.
You know what that means. Right? Can ya guess? Can ya? Oh. Really. You can. I’m that predictable hmmm? Well. Now you sound like the biggest Thing of them all. Did I mention that one of him is *more than enough? (j/k I love you indeezy baby 
And as for you, just read the dang list anyway okay?
You might as well. You’ve already gotten this far….
the top 5 to 10 goals that you gotta’ get so that you can truly say you have achieved your wildest dreams in life.
-
One of my truly wildest dreams….
-
is to be able to *tinkle…..
-
all by myself….
-
without being followed…..
-
interrogated….
-
or otherwise interrupted by loud crashes and bangs and clunks and ‘Mommy Thing 2 is trying to climb out the window again” s. Causing me to perform a feat that would challenge even ‘Mighty Mom’ herself…. …..
-
stop mid~tinkle.
-
After having 5 children.
-
That’s pure superhero type stuff there.
-
But I have no clue how to make that happen.
-
Or I would already be enjoying that *tinkle freedom.
-
Goal 1 ~ Find someone who knows.
-
Another of my wildest dreams
-
is to get out of the house
-
into the truck
-
and further than the entraceway
-
before hearing the words
-
“Mommy I can’t hold it”
-
after I asked each & every one of them.
-
3 times.
-
And made them try anyway.
-
Because I knew what was going to happen.
-
So you see,
-
I’ve covered all of my bases.
-
And again I have no clue how to make that happen.
-
Which brings me to
-
Goal 2 ~ Find someone who knows.
-
My absolute wildest dream ….
-
is to never have to do laundry
-
ever again.
-
Eve really screwed us with that whole apple thing.
-
Really.
-
If it weren’t for her
-
There would be NO laundry
-
We would all be nakie
-
& not even knowing it.
-
But since it’s not a perfect world
-
I’ll just keep my clothes on
-
Thank you very much.
-
It’s better that way.
-
Really.
-
For all of us.
-
Unfortunately I can’t go back
-
to the garden
-
and warn her.
-
So I have no clue how to fix it.
-
And there we have
-
Goal 3 ~ Find someone who knows.
And there it is. Okay, so I obviously dont have very lofty aspirations. No hall of fame for me.
But it is what it is.
My wildest dreams come true in finding contentment in what is already in my path.
My biggest goals are attained by just making the most of the life I have.
Well, that & maybe learning from someone who knows! Cause I sure as heck don’t 
But maybe some of these girlies have a clue….
I’m passing the buck to ya’ll. Now you’ve ‘Gotta Get Goals’.

- I love your list. Tinkle freedom? I think I heard somewhere that comes when they start leaving the house? I was thinking of something that included no laundry so if you find that someone who knows let me know k? k.
- Interesting list. I’m still thinking of mine. Gotta give it a lot of thought. Will let you know when I’ve posted!
Diane - Yeah … it might be a while before i can post a list … haha gotta think about that one :]

I need more time for this one, I think… I’m workin’ on it, though
)
Think about what you’re tryin to do… er sorry. That song is totally stuck in my head. What? It’s stuck in your head too? How ironic. Wait~what..oohhh .. it’s only stuck in your head ’cause.. my bad.
I *think I’ve had one of those bloggy moments. You know, the one where you realize that there’s this whole little bloggyworld out there and you’ve somehow become part of it. Actually, what I’m realizing is that its a BIG BIG bloggyworld out there. And some amazing moms behind them. Moms that you want to be just like when you grow up. Moms like Youngmommy who is a so~much~better version of me than I am. So imagine my surprise when she tagged me with the
She made me sound So great I almost wanted to check myself out. Not like that! Think NICE thoughts! And ya wanna know the best part? It involves *making a list. I KNOW! Aren’t you excited? WOW. Really… you don’t have to do cartwheels… Just sit back down…
And go check out 5 bloggers who make me think
-
A Not So Desperate Housewife ~ Rebecca ~ is the absolute awesomest. She’s my 1st bloggy friend & my 1 faithful reader. lol. AND she even humors me with comment lists! You can tell that she’s the mom you could just chill with all day. No matter what you were doing. Or how WILD your kids are being. And even though she *thinks she’s just waiting for the world to change, I think she’s helping to change it

I was just led to Especially Heather yesterday but I was completely engrossed in what she wrote & how she wrote it. When I read about her baby girl I could SO relate. I’ve been there! When I read about what she is going through now I thought “I could never do that” and especially not with the grace that pours out of her. Unknowingly, she reminds me to be thankful that our savior is not just your average everyday hero.
-
Charity of Arrows In Our Quiver really makes me think. She makes me think “How does this sweet little girl have it SO together, and what does that say about me?” lol. If you are ever, ever EVER feeling down & out, need a shoulder or an ear, encouragement or support, or just straight up need to feel like somebody loves ya THIS is the place to go!
-
The mom behind Always A Work In Progress is a true Titus2Woman. She cracks me up with the peepee dance and other silliness. Most of all she challenges me, in those wifely areas… and encourages me to strive to be a better wife, mom & woman. AND she gives the best (((hugs&prayers))).

Ya’ll are making me stand up right in the midde of lurkerville for this one, but if I’m givin you blogs that make me think then I’ve gotta tell you about Rockstar Mommy. I’m not sure if this awards thing is really the way she rolls.. but the very 1st post I ever read on her blog brought home a HUGE lesson that I was being taught. If you looked up a comparison for our little corners of bloggy world it would probably come up under antonyms. You would be looking this up on Encarta, of course. ‘Cause that’s just how we look things up around here. We are both moms, and our instinctive *mom feelings, emotions, fears… they are all the same on the inside. It’s just the way we express them on the outside that’s different.

- YoungMommy is great, isn’t she? And Especially Heather is amazing!
Here is a little glimpse of how my mind works. For better or for worse. (Probably more worse than better. ) I’m not sure exactly why I am telling you this. It’s not a great mystery or anything. There’s no new Theory of Relativity hiding out in there . Just in case you were thinking that maybe there was.
I was sitting here, trying to write my last post. It takes concentration ya know, I have to entertain my readership of 100’s. Ok really it’s 1’s. 1 to be exact, But 100’s sounds much better dont’cha think? So, if it’s ok with you, we’ll just stick with that.
I found a link to this blog in another blog I like to read. The post caught my attention. You might want to read it at naptime. It’s a post that moms can relate to, not children:) I wanted to say something to her. So I started to leave a comment and I used the word PONDER. And then I looked at the word. And I thought, that’s a cheesy word. It doesn’t express exactly what I want to say. So I looked it up. I don’t know why, I just did.
I remembered how useful MSN Encarta is. They gave me 12 other options to use instead. I say ‘they’ like there is somebody out there on the other side of that site, just waiting to think up synonyms for me to use. That would be cool though. Well, maybe not so much for them. There were 2 articles listed. One was something about Ponder Heart (a book apparently, just in case you are dying to know), and the other was Kentucky Derby Winners. WHY would that come up under ponder? Is someone out there pondering Kentucky Derby Winners. Do I really care?
Aaaand I totally forgot to leave the comment! So much for my Bloggy Etiquette Award.
- I had that same ‘huh?’ when I saw Kentucky Derby winner come up. (I clicked on the link you had for ponder). RSM is definitely not G rated but relatable. (Blogger didn’t know that was a word but MSN confirmed it was for me). She’s got a life of hurts that she’s come out of, or coming out of I guess. But she loves her husband and kids. When I came across her site ‘blog evangelism’ came to mind. Oh and thanks for the link to my blog, I am honored.
- that msn comes in handy:) i agree. what i realized while reading through her blog was that our outward expressions may be completely opposite, but all moms have the same basic doubts and fears.
They said WHAT?
