18. What would make my last answer a 10?



My answers:

1. My faults as a parent
I dwell too much on Austin's father & all of the shoulda, coulda, woulda's that I can't change even tho I wish with all my heart I could. I need to get over the past with his father & move on with the present.

2. My faults as a friend
I don't always appreciate my friends as much as I should. There are a select few who have done so much for me & Austin, I don't tell them how much I have really appreciated everything they have done. I also don't listen at times the way I really should. Sometimes I let my own problems with my life rule, and don't listen to their problems.

3. My faults as a partner
Once again going back to my ex, I bring him up too much & often let my issues with being a single mom get in the way of becoming close to someone. I tend to let my issues with myself & my life run the relationship I am in. I also dwell too much on past relationships & what happened to me in them, thinking that automatically the current person I am with will do what my ex's have done to me in the past.

4. My faults as a daughter
I don't visit my parents as often as I should, or call them and let them know how my life is going. I fail to tell them how much I truly appreciate them & what they have done for me making me who I am.

5. My faults as a worker
I complain too much about the scheduling & not getting my ideal schedule. I let it get to me & then slack off in certain duties I am supposed to perform for my job. I don't always give my co-workers & management the benefit of the doubt like I should. Often I am much more capable of things than what I portray.

6. My faults as a person
I am very emotional...too much at times. At times I care more than I should, but care too little at other times. I can be selfish at times. I have many bad habits....I need to be more positive than I am most of the time. I am too hard on myself. I need to work on making all of the dreams I have come true instead of just continuing to dream & not do anything about them. I can be a hypocrite of myself...I can give my friends great advice, but never seem to take it myself.

7. My best qualities as a parent
I will do anything & everything for my son...to get him what he needs or wants. I am an open-minded parent, always willing to take advice & learn from other parents & their experiences. I tell my son I love him every day & make sure to take the time to spend with him & tell him so.

8. Best qualities as a friend
I listen, & listen well. I am always honest with my friends & don't BS them. I am loyal & will stand by my friends no matter what choices they make, whether I agree or not.

9. Best qualities as a partner
I will do anything to make the relationship work. I give my whole heart when I do finally give it. I am honest with them no matter what. I am committed.

10. Best qualities as a daughter
I understand & know that my parents worked their hardest to give us everything we needed & tried to give us what we wanted. I know that my parents are only human, & make mistakes too. I know that they love me & my son. Regardless of what they believe, I don't fault them in any way for the way in which I have led my life after leaving their supervision. I made my own choices based on me, not how I was raised or what happened to me as a child.

11. Best qualities as a worker
I am always willing to give more than 100% when I have to. I love learning new things & am open to doing so. I am very detail orientated in my work.

12. My best qualities as a person
I am honest, loyal, sincere, caring, trustworthy, humorous, open-minded, & understanding.

13. Overall grade I would give myself (A,B,C,D...)
"B-" ...there is always room for improvement, but overall I am not that bad; above average, which is good.

14. What kinds of friends I see myself having (give them an overall grade as a person, not a friend.)
I mostly have friends like myself....they are all "B-"'s or above....there is maybe a "C" or two in the mix.

15. Who I am closest too (regarding the above question #15)
I am closest to the "A"'s and "B"'s....the top two are both "A"'s ~ Dave & Steve

16. Who I love the most
My son

17. What kind of life am I living?
(from a scale of 0-10, 0 being REALLY BAD and 10 being TOTALLY AWESOME)
I would say a 4 1/2 - 5...about average....lot's of room to improve tho.

18. What would make my last answer a 10?
Getting in a better home & having all of my finances in order would get me there, but in addition to that I would neev to get my inner self happier, & then my life would definitely be a 10.
