Sick and Tags

I've been pretty sick the last 3 days and I'm finally feeling better today so I decided that since I didn't have much else to post, I'd do these Tags in which I've been negligent.

The Tag of 3s
How to play this game. Post these rules on your blog; List 3 joys, 3 fears, 3 goals, 3 current obsessions/collections, 3 random surprising facts about yourself. Tag 5 people at the end of your post by leaving their names....

3 Joys
1. My husband
2. Watching my children laugh and smile
3. The peacefulness of nature (usually the beach)

3 Fears
1. I have developed a fear of bees now that I know I'm allergic to them
2. I'm a little scared of what Sara will be exposed to in school when she's old enough to go. I'd like her to stay innocent.
3. I'm afraid of noises I hear in the house when Sean is away on business trips.

3 Goals
1. Dropping 40lbs (right there with you Alyssa and I'll be brave like you and post it.)
2. Keeping my house clean for more than a day.
3. Teaching Sara to read
(notice they are all child related)

3 current obsessions/collections
1. Reading Applied Behavior Analysis textbooks (I can't afford to go to school so I purchased used textbooks and am reading them...a little pathetic I know, but I'm really enjoying it)
2. I'm gearing up to go on another scrap booking marathon...I have all the pictures printed. It's coming...I can feel it.
3. budgeting....always an obsession

3 Random Surprising Things
1. My first name is actually Sarah.
2. I started BYU when I was 16. (usually I don't like to publish this but I'm having a hard time thinking of things.)
3. I was the jump rope champion in my elementary school.
