5 Moments I Would Live Over Again {Listable Life}

My wedding day

I would have done things differently for sure like put more money into a photographer and do a video.  Mostly I would have enjoyed every single moment.  The day went by so fast I could hardly remember any of it.  I would have made the day longer rather than rush through it like we did.

The birth of my six kids

I would love to live over the moment when each of them were placed in my arms and on my chest for the first time.  The moment we first met, it's the most precious thing ever.

The moments before Dakota's accident

I would like to go back to that moment and make a change of being at the pool with all of them and making sure I was helping to keep them safe rather than sitting by Hayden in the bassinet because I wasn't feeling well.  I could have been sitting on the chair besides the pool resting like Ashley said.

The moment I screamed at Ashley for leaving Dakota alone the day of her accident
I wish I could re-live that moment and have been in a better frame of mind.  I'm not sure I would have done things differently in the state of panic and shock I was in but I would take back the way I treated Ashley if it was at all possible.

The day of, and weeks after losing my babies
If I could live this time over again, I would have taken better care of myself and my husband in that moment.  I would have asked for help with my other kids, I would have taken as much time as emotionally necessary off of work with no excuses.  I would have allowed myself the time with my husband to mourn, cry, be still, and grieve alone.

5 Things/Activities That Take You To Your Happy Place

1. Iced coffee.  If I'm at home it's iced coffee with vanilla or hazelnut creamer.  My favorites from Starbucks or Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf are Iced Mocha and Iced Chai Latte.
2. Menchie's Frozen Yogurt.  My favorite combination is natural tart and taro covered in chopped almonds and fresh strawberries.  Seriously, I could eat it ALL DAY.
3. Dole Plantation.  We take our kids to feed the koi fish in the back pond.  There is a food dispenser there which costs 50 cents for a small handful of food.  We always buy a 3-5 pound bag from the pet store, way cheaper that way we all have a chance to feed the koi.
4. Friday morning viewing of Grey's Anatomy and Private Practice back to back online.
5. Resting my head on my husband's chest.  My most favorite place in this world.

What things/activities take you to your happy place?

10 Things I’d Rather Do Besides Chores

The house was clean yesterday

Sorry you missed it

1. blog in peace and quiet so I can concentrate and get posts scheduled far in the future.
2. answer emails in peace and quiet so I can type with both hands at a fast speed rather than with one finger with kids in my lap or hanging on me.
3. take girls to park and watch them have fun.
4. shopping... well, window shopping. =)
5. watch movies
6. veg out and stare at the wall, seriously much better than doing chores.
7. watch tv. I can watch Wizards of Waverly Place and Good Luck Charlie all day long. Oh wait, we do that already! Haha! I wish Grey's Anatomy and Private Practice was on all day long.
8. go for a drive. I love taking long drives around the island but we have not done it in a while. I live in Hawaii, the views are gorgeous.
9. go on a date with my husband. a date? what is that? we have not gone on a date in so long.
10. take girls to the zoo. the last time we went was when Hayden was maybe 9 months old. I've been longing to take them so I can see her reaction to all the animals.

What would you rather do besides chores?
