Last night as I lay in bed I was trying to remember all the things that I think about throughout the day. Maybe I thought it might portray my character or what is most important to me or something deep like that. We know the day is 24 hours long and most of us are probably awake for about 16 or more of those hours. But what do we think about for 16 hours, every second of every day?!! Why is it so hard to remember what we think about? I can only come up with about 10 minutes worth of my thoughts, and they are certainly not very deep.
This is what I came up with:
the future and what does it hold, friends, family, what to do with my children, things i can do to help me keep my sanity, politics, why doesn't mason eat and why does he wear size 12 mos. clothes when he's almost 2, how the failing economy will really affect Americans and us, what is next on my "to do" list, what time is it, what should i make for b-fast snack lunch and dinner, i should be sleeping right now, how i love living in florida and the home we're in, how should i discipline and teach my kids, how much i despise St. Augustine grass and chinch bugs, who should i call and why do i have a phone calling phobia, why do kids whine and cry and yell so much, what do i need to do to be a better person, dang it's already time to do physical therapy exercises again, what is it that makes my car rattle like that, what will my knee be like in a few months, what should i be doing right now, and who am i why am i here and where am i going (hahaha on the last 3, i already know!)
What is it that YOU think about?

I think mostly about all the little things that have to be done and I don't want to do them anymore, how much I still love my husband after 36 years of marriage and how fast the time went since we were newlyweds, our children, grandchildren, friends...how lucky I feel to have found the gospel at a pivotal time in my life,
my parents and their health issues brought about by their poor choices when they were young, how blessed I feel to be in this country and what a beautiful planet Heavenly Father created for us...
And then there are all those other times when I worry and stress about everything...but that's another story !
I heard someone say that you are what you think about when you don't have to be thinking about anything specific. Its interesting to think about how our thoughts change as we are in different stages of our life. Literally the only thought I have at night right now is, "please let that baby stay asleep, please let that baby stay asleep."
Sounds like a full day's worth of thoughts. Here are some of mine from today: why does Kyla poop so much? Is it bad to drive on a tire with tiny wires sticking out of it? I wish I didn't have to wash dishes (by hand) four or five times a day.
So, nothing deep. :) And I have found the perfect solution to phone phobia: text messaging.
I loved reading this post being grateful that the same things are going through someone else's head! I think.....why is our 2 year old home falling apart such as the tile in our bathroom in 3 different places and yet I called and they told me that tile was discontinued? I mostly think about all the things I wish I could've done better for Luke..did I read enough to him, why does he have no interest in the toilet, am I feeding him enough vegi's and why doesn't he like any fruit or naps? How much tv has he watched today and was that the 3rd or 10th piece of candy! I think about how everyone is surviving with way the economy is going and do I have enough food storage and what do I do with that food!! WOW I have rambled! I also loved Krystals answer to the phone phobia...texting!!
yes, texting is a dream come true! now if only we would fork out the money to add it to our plan...
I'm with you on phone phobia...why do I put it off so much???
I have the same problem trying to figure out all I DID during the day! Carson will come home and ask what I did all day and I can never account for half my day. Where does it go? I didn't watch TV or sit and eat bon-bons. Maybe I was sitting and thinking of really deep thoughts.
