TAGGED AGAIN - I AM IT

I was tagged recently by my Sista-in-law and I am actually getting to it quickly. It's amazing...

GOALS:
1. I think the biggest goal I have is not to totally mess up my kids. The bigger ones all ready came with so much baggage and I do not want to make things worse.
2. To be a kinder person all around. Sometimes I do not have as much patience with others as I should have and I know I really need to stop and think. I need to put myself in others shoes more often.
3. Let things go! I need to not let things get to me. It is usually the little things that make me go crazy. I am trying to just relax and let them roll off my back. I used to be so much better at this when I was younger and I find myself getting to caught up in things that just don't deserve my time and energy. Some things just don't really matter and are NOT worth it in the long run!

CURRENT OBSESSIONS/COLLECTIONS:
1. Well I currently collect kids. (JK) My days are filled with my kids and my obsession right now is making happy memories with them. I really feel like it is so important for them to feel safe and be a part of a close nit family. So I am constantly trying to think of ways that I can accomplish this.
2. I collect globes. Weird random thing, I know... I have a antique globe from pre-World War Two. The sad thing is they are all in boxes because I have no place to display them. I love to travel and If I could I would visit every place on the map. NOT realistic but maybe that is why I like them.
3.Helping Lightning with his obsession to collect cans and get money for them. My Dad has always done this. Not in a garbage picking sort of way. If we had cans he would always recycle and he has taken Lightning with him a few times and now my kid is obsessed and wants to be just like his G-Pa and have a little savings from his can money. I say hey whatever works ,so I help him out however I can. (NO pun intended)

JOYS:
1. I LOVE to READ!!!! It is my great escape. I am not always to particular about what I read. If it has a story line that grabbs my attention I will finish the book. My favorite is history books and historical fiction. I am so interested in peoples lives and how people lived in the past. I want to know how they did things and how they got around and what there days were like. How did they cope with their hardships and what were their simple joys in life.
2. My kids are a joy in my life. I do not want to sound to corny or cliche but how can you have kids and not find joy in them? Joy in just watching them. They are still little kids who cause trouble but it is in the simple things they say and do. When they discover something new, or giggle with pure delight, or when they come up to you like Sissy just did and say"Mommy I luuuz you!"
3. UMMMM CHOCOLATE!! N'UFF SAID!!:):)

FEARS:
1. My biggest fear is hitting some one with my car. Scares the be-jeebers outa me!!
2. Loosing my sweet Layne and having to raise all the rascals on my own. I think this one should actually be terror that is more the feeling I get!!
3. I detest sewer cockroaches and do not want them near me!!!!!

RANDOM SURPRISING FACTS:
1. I hate being late!! Maybe not random or surprising but it's true!
2. I have SEVEN TOES on my right foot. No I really don't, I just wanted to see if you were still reading!
3.I finish peoples sentences sometimes and I know it's horribly rude and I really have to try and stop myself.

Who can I tag?????? I am no good at choosing, so if you want to do it then be my guest. I love reading these so let me know if you did:)
