The 'Give Me Five' Monday meme is designed to share fun information with each other in a simple short list! Here's how it works. Each week, Becca will put out a random topic from her list of topics and participants share 5 answers of their choice on the given topic and link back to her! Particpants can add photos, links or stories or just a simple list of their own of 5 things that relate to the topic as it pertains to them and their life experiences. It doesn't have to be in any order of importance unless otherwise specified.
Give Me Five things you haven't done in a long time that you would like to do again.
1) I would like to have some time dedicated to writing. With three kids, time just slips away. This is something that I really enjoy, however, and I really need to make the time to do it.
2) I would like to sing in a choir again. I don't see this happening in the near future because that interferes with another one of my favorite things: going to church as a family and sitting together. I love to sing parts though and I really miss it.
3) I would like to be in fighting form again. Last year I made a new year's resolution to run a 5K, and I did it! Excercising like that it not possible right now because of this, but I plan to repeat my new year's resolution next year and run a 5K again. Eventually I am going to run a 10K (1/2 marathon, marathon) too. I have never felt such a great accomplishment as running that race. I didn't win. I didn't even come close, but I finished and I did what I set out to do!
4) Along with #3, I want to lose the extra weight I have put on since becoming a mother. I have learned something valuable after having my kiddos: I have to make the time to do this, no matter how tired I am. It is good mentally, physically, and emotionally. To be a size 8 (or lower!) again and fit into my skinny jeans would be such a high! I have been asked to be Matron on Honor in a wedding next spring. :) I am going to look good in that dress!
5) I would like to go on a date with my husband! My birthday is next month, so I guess I can plan it around that!
This was fun! If you want to play, go here!

hope and baby are feeling well?!
Great GM5 list, I am glad so many people are thinking about getting back to themselves and doing something they used to enjoy. Having goals is the best way to get anything done, if you don't even set goals for yourself, you get nowhere! Thanks for participating!!
Hey, thanks for the comment. Your list is great also. I love to sing too and used to sing in the choir myself. But with 2 kids I can't do that anymore. My 4 yr old is attached to me at the hip. Maybe before to much longer she will let go and I can get back to singing again.
Great list. Good luck with the 5K. I know with 3 kids it is hard to have time to yourself to do the things you like. I love writing poetry
I loved your list. It's all about getting in touch with yourself. Which I am working on....
