"The ways I don't have it all together"

My friend Melissa posted this entry on her blog. She encouraged us to share the ways that we don't have it all together. I am a little concerned that I won't have enough space. :)

I talk a lot, and sometimes forget to listen. I want to listen, I just get a little overly excited about sharing. :)

I react on my emotions and don't like it when things don't go the way I expect them to.

I struggle being patient and remembering that Brody is 2.

When I am hungry and tired I am not very nice to my husband.

I struggle with reading God's word.

I can get impatient with Don if I ask him to do something and he doesn't do it in the timeline that I want him to.

I stole this one from Melissa... I struggle getting on the floor and just playing with Brody.

We watch to much TV. (This is why I run around singing... "I need to tell you something, I don't have a belly button." courtesy of Veggie Tales. :)

I hate to fold clothes and put them away, they often sit in laundry baskets for several days after being washed and dryed.

Most days I do not make the bed, Don is pretty good at making the bed so that helps.

I rarely take out the garbage I wait for Don to do it. :) ( I do stuff though, dishes and vacuuming etc. :)

I tend to argue or nag my hubby.

I sometimes yell at my 2 year old.

OUr kitchen table is cluttered all the time with papers and stuff.

I can almost always talk Don into telling me what he got me for a present, guessing what it is or giving it to me early. (hangs head in shame, I can't stand the anticipation.)

Ok. Well I am 100% positive that there are more but I will stop for now. I do think that there is a benefit to being real and sharing our inadequacies with each other. Just to remember that no one is perfect we all struggle and we can find hope and encouragement in one another's strengths and weaknesses. ;)
