a little thought and a tag

I have had a little lapse in blogging...not that I have not had anything to write about. BUT.. children have been needing a little more attention this last week. Some more than others.
And I missed last wednesdays what to eat. I think I was having a little anxiety after seeing all the great photos and recipes over at the pioneer womans blog...But I got to thinking that this is not a competition. Hers do look better than mine...thats ok. I just need to keep on keeping on. No reason to stop learning, just because somebody knows more than me. I get too caught up sometimes in comparing myself to others, instead of using others good examples to encourage and inspire, and use as a springboard. So if you are thinking that too, then STOP!

I got this tag from Kim....and I am a little late in responding...

A: The rules of the game are posted at the beginning.
B: Each player answers the questions about themselves.
C: At the end of the post, the player then tags 5 people and posts their names, then goes to their blogs and leaves them a comment, letting them know that they have been tagged and asking them to read your blog.

Get Jay a car that he picks out.
Get a family car thats a little newer.
Hmmmm my mind just starts going...clothing, a trip for Jay and I, a trip as a family, a trip for me and my girlfriends, A LOT of just because gift giving to people anonymously...paying someone else to do some of the projects that are around the house, (hmmm thats funny that my first thought was not to buy a new house!)
