Another Friday, another week draws to a close.

Thank the good Lord.

(It’s been a really tough week with a certain 5-year old here.)

*ahem*

And while I have some ideas churning in my head, I’m more in the mood to fill in some blanks, and let those ideas cook a bit more.  Many thanks to Courtney at My So Called Denver for jumping in and posting some blanks, since Blogger’s uncooperativeness meant that Lauren was unable to. Thanks, Courtney!!!

And so now it is time to Fill in the Blanks!

1. If I had to use 3 words why I am undoubtedly a Type-A they would be control-freak, perfectionist, and impatient.

2. Something that happened to me in life that initially seemed bad but turned out to be good was moving to Wales. The thought of (1) moving so far away from family, (2) living in such a completely different environment and (3) reading that the adaptability of the children is dependent on the mother putting on a strong front completely terrified me. The reality is that it wasn’t as difficult an adjustment as anticipated, my children are thriving, the school is absolutely fantastic, and I much enjoy the slower pace of life here.  (The distance from family is the only really difficult bit.)

3. Something I inherited from my mom is my need to plan, and then to verbalize them to sort those plans out. We both can discuss/plan/engineer something to death.

4. Something I inherited from my dad is my slightly warped sense of humor.

5. My goal for this summer is to lose a stone. (That’s 14 pounds to my yankee friends, but in my head, a “stone” doesn’t sound quite so imposing.)

6. The best thing about this week is that it is the weekend – and I have two days without a school run (and any accompanying power struggles). *whew*

7. Something I couldn’t give up if I tried is making lists. I’m a compulsive list maker.

That’s it for this week! How would YOU fill in the blanks?
