8 things I say often...
I asked my children for help with this and was given a list of things like...
1. "Help your sisters."
2. "Is your room clean?"
3. "Empty the dishwasher?"
4. "Are you emptying the dishwasher?"
5. "Have you finished the dishwasher?"
To which I asked, "Can't you all think of anything NICE that I say? These things make me sound like a drill sergeant!" Then after thinking a minute The Boy chimes in...
6. "Thanks for doing the dishwasher." Followed by B, who said...
7. "How are you?" (You say that one a lot, too) Then, they came to a consensus with...
8. "I'm on the computer!" (called out from the den downstairs to anywhere in the house)
Why is it *I* always hear myself saying things like, "Have a great day at school!" "Good night!" "I love you!" and "See you in the morning!", but the children hear otherwise?

Wow! That was a lot of questions. Good answers!
Just popping in to thank you for dropping by my blog. I plan to come and explore the next time I'm "caught up". LOL
Thanks for the Lucy Snow recommendation.
I laughed so hard at the 8 things you say! I'll have to go back and read that every day. I'm going to ask my kids what I always say...not sure if I'll want to know.

I don't usually read through lists like these, but yours intruigued me. We have very different lives
(I dont' have kids)- but your passions and other lists would be very similar to mine. Interesting.
I enjoyed reading them.
lol. I was laughing so hard at the I am on the computer that my 14 year old wanted to know what was so funny.
I bet my children would say that one too.
I love your answers! But I had to restrain myself from laughing because where I live it isn't quite daylight yet. :-)
BTW did you get a chance to check Cardinal Sean's blog to get info on getting in touch with the Ethiopian community?
p.s. my children were sick for awhile so I couldn't visit, but here I am... :-)
Have joyuful week! :-)
