Top 10 Things about Me

[irish_eyes_65]

Hello. I might not be too good at this blogging thing because I take so long to post something but I saw this topic a while back and it started me thinking. So here goes...

:)

 

10. I have always really liked Top 10 Lists!

 

9. I don’t delegate things well—which is why I do most of the dishes and laundry, etc., around here.

 

8. Favorite authors: Nora Roberts, Anna Quindlen, Madeleine L’Engle, Patricia Cornwell, Catherine Anderson, JK Rowling… Many more if I spend too much time thinking about it!! Reading has been my passion since about 2^nd grade—books, magazines, newspaper, now internet blogs!

 

7. Sisters and Mom-friends make my day!

 

6. What I have a tough time doing without: a.m. coffee and Chicago Tribune.

 

5. Bad habit: Falling asleep on the couch.

 

4. Most unpleasant challenge: Helping my 16-year-old through the nasty patches of adolescence.

 

3. Favorite challenge: Loving and nurturing my 5-year-old son with Down syndrome, and advocating for his opportunities while educating others simply by contact with and conversation about him.

 

2. Who I pray for: My husband, who wants to be the greatest dad, husband, son, brother & friend he can be.

 

1. Everyone has their challenges, so I don’t ask why I have mine. When I’m overwhelmed with what’s in front of me, I try to act and make a difference. No regrets allowed! When I make a decision, I don’t spend a lot of time fretting about it. If things go my way, I say “Thank you, God.” If they don’t, then I do my best to find solutions, move on and stay positive about being where I am.

 

Now I absolutely have to do some laundry right now! Have a good day!
