Who am I?
A Photo Story
1. I’m a mom - I love my kids with all my heart. This is my first and foremost role in life.
2. Wife - I love my husband and want to share his life.
3. Daughter - Not always the best daughter, but I try. I wish my mom lived closer sometimes.
4. Sister - She lives an hour away, and I love her dearly. We get along so much better now that we are grown with families of our own.
5. Teacher - This is my career, not my life.
6. Reader - I absoltely adore reading. I read every single day.
7. Writer - I enjoy writing, but I haven't honed my craft enough to publish, and I'm not sure I want to. It's a great hobby and sometimes a release for me.
8. Scrapbooker - I big-puffy-heart scrapbooking, my hobby on which I have limited time to work.
9. Christian - I believe in God the Father, Jesus Christ-his one and only Son, and the Holy Spirit.
10. Volunteer - I volunteer at my children's school when I can, and church. I volunteer with the kids' activities. (girl scouts, football, baseball, etc.)
11. Insomniac - Even when I am dead tired, I can't sleep well.
12. Night Owl - I get more done after hours when everyone else is in bed. That's when my mind really starts to work. The day time is just rote.
13. Cleaner/Organizer - I could have put "maid," but cleaner/organizer sounds better. I like things to be neat and relatively clean, and living with people who put this on the bottom of their priority list, or don't put it on their list at all, really drives me bonkers.

Hey, I have people that keep me #13, too! I keep thinking I would want to have time to scrapbook, but then have to admit I would rather be doing this.
ReplyDeleteOh, and you have two link boxes for T13 linky. Thought you would want to know.
My T13 is up, stop by if you get a chance.
Excellent list. I must say tho, you're lucky to have a mother still with you on this earth. I lost mine about 18 years ago, and so many days I think of her and would love to have her at my side.
ReplyDeleteMy thirteen is shared, hope you can come by and leave a 'howdy-do' in ghe comments!!!
I am not a cleaner or organizer. I am a mom, volunteer, sister ( you wouldnt know it), and wife. My mom died 2 years ago, still wish she was here! Very nice list! I like that! Come on over and check out the 13 BOUNCE on my blog! Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteYou and I must be kin---but I don't have a sister, and I am not a scrapbooker. You are so right about work. I believe---and remind my staff---that work is not life! Happy TT.
ReplyDeletethats a very good list that shows how well rounded you are!
ReplyDeleteNice list! I'll have to remember "cleaner/organizer"..it does sound much better than maid! Thanks for sharing! :-D
ReplyDeleteThis is a great list. I see a lot of my wife in some of these things. On her worst day, she is more organized than most people are on their best day.
