3. I still have my roller skates from the 7^th grade and I plan to use them someday.
4. I am irritated that I was ever so shortsighted to think that a stainless steel fridge was the way to go 4 years ago. A very impractical surface for us now with the collection of baby hand prints and their magnets won’t even stick not to mention art work.
5. I adore my fish tank. It is so calming to me to watch them. I love to add fish and I don’t even mind cleaning it.
6. Above all I truly want my children to be happy healthy grown-ups.
7. I miss my Nanny every day.
8. The first time someone called me Doctor, I almost corrected them.

10. I hope that when my kids are involved with their own lives and our house is empty that I can take a cooking class or even go to culinary school.
11. I hate when people don’t follow up their “I don’t know statement” with anything such as, let me find out or I would look here.
12. I am the first Hicks to graduate with anything more than an associate’s degree and it makes my dad crazy proud.
13. I have to be very careful when talking politics (I am conservative) and I have to consciously tell myself it is ok if others disagree with me.
14. I finally understand the statement I have heard my dad use, “My heart is soaring.” my kids make me feel that way.
