There is a 50’s Chevy sitting in a vacant lot
that I have been eying for the last sixteen years, it is my dream to buy it

means knee and the k is not silent)
82.
I speak to my kids in German 99.8% of the time,
it should be 100% but when Talita needs help with her homework I will switch
over to English, speaking German in public makes it easier to get after them if

understand

mission
86.
I dream in different languages, either German,
English or Russian, it all depends on who is in my dream
87.
Sometimes I get crazy ideas (that I don’t follow
through with), like jumping off a bridge or scaring a motorcyclist with my car
just because I want to know what it would be like, good thing I never follow
through huh?

through it, yuck
91.
I feel totally helpless when my kids get hurt

I love to watch murder mysteries, even though I
get scared every time

thank them, like: Ziploc bags, dishwashers, the shower head on the kitchen
sink, garbage disposal …
109.
When I am bored out of my mind I write in the
Google search bar: “who let the dogs out”, just for fun
110.
I can pretend to be in control even though I am
totally stressed
111.
