Welcome back to Finish The Sentence Friday Blog Hop (FTSF). We give you a sentence and you finish it (however long or short you’d like). Please feel free to link up and follow any or all of our hostesses, which are below.
And now for this week’s sentence to finish: “If I were stuck on an island, I would like to have…”
And next week’s sentence to finish: “This summer I plan to……”
If I were stuck on an island, I would like to have…There are truly so many things that I could answer to this sentence, but to be honest as much as I sometimes do complain about wanting peace and quiet (being stuck on a deserted island would solve this one for sure), I would miss my husband and kids too much.
I am not going to lie, but peace and quiet would be nice for a bit!!So therefore I would have to answer first and foremost that I would want them to be with me. I mean even though Lily can definitely be handful, as per this little nugget from last week. I am afraid it would be too quiet and not enough fun without her there.
I would certainly miss this little face!!
And even though Kevin always has to be right and has trouble saying he is sorry if somehow he is wrong, I would truly miss him and his stubborn scootchy nature for sure.
And Yes I would miss The King, too!!
And then there is my Emma girl, when I wrote this had a cough and runny nose again. And as much as I have heard “I have boogies and can someone please (hey she is polite) blow my nose” (I am hearing it in my sleep, too), I would truly miss her smiles and hugs, too.
And would so miss her little face, too!!
Yes, I would love some modern amenities too, such as indoor plumbing (a toilet is a must), electricity (sorry lights are a big deal too), the internet in the form of my iPhone, iPad and even MacBook (Ok so I am just a bit addicted). Come on a girl needs all this and more, but without my family it would truly be a very lonely existence and not sure any of those things would mean a hill of beans to me.
So bottom line, I would want my family if I had to chose one thing to have if I was stuck on an island!!

Jean Heff says
I would certainly pack a bunch of things with me too, the first of which would be my family. I would leave my husband's snoring at home.
Janine Huldie says
Jean, I would leave my husband's snoring with yours. Seriously some nights it sounds like freight train going through our room, lol!!
Stephanie Sprenger says
You are a much better person than I am, bringing your family and all…especially given my dumba** answer to the prompt! 😉 I was tempted to put my iPhone and Macbook as well- I'm hooked, too!
Janine Huldie says
Stephanie, as much as I complain it is true what they say, "You can't live with them, but you also can't live without them!!" And I am hooked, too, but so need to unhook sometimes and am trying to work on it. Baby steps 🙂
erintheirishmama says
Great post tonight. I'd want the family too. Even though they all drive me nuts. I'm updating my blog and moving it tonight. Hopefully I can get it all done in the am so I can link up!!
Janine Huldie says
I cannot wait to see your new design and will keep checking back to see when it is up. So excited and huge congrats to you. And I am with you on this, even though they drive me nuts, I would miss them too much!!
Karren Haller says
Thanks for hosting thee party, Hope you can stop by too please Oh My Heartsie WW" w/Linky
Dawn says
Family is such a good thing. Even though they drive you up a wall and through it, they keep you grounded and loved.
Janine Huldie says
So true Dawn and I must say mine does there job perfectly 🙂
Kate Hall says
Yeah, I'm with you, Janine. I would totally want my family there too. 🙂
Janine Huldie says
Kate, I tried this post from three different ways and kept coming back to my family and knew I couldn't deny it 🙂
mrs_karenC says
very sweet post, family is important…but I just want to get off and back to my family, LOL
Janine Huldie says
Lol, so true and have those moments often Karen!! 🙂
Robin Rue says
I guess as long as there was a Dunkin Donuts on that island, I'd be all set. Well, that and a few good books and some gum.
Janine Huldie says
Oh got to love DD. The books are a must too, but not a huge gum fan here (could take it or leave it ). Thanks Robin 🙂
Melanie Chisnall says
Hahaha…don't worry, I don't think I'd be able to survive on a tropical island without those things too. Unless of course we were retired and had all our debts paid off and could live the rest of our lives luxury – erm, I mean relaxation! 😉 Loved the pics of Emma, Lily and the group one with Kevin. So sweet! Happy weekend!
Janine Huldie says
Happy Weekend to you too and the live of luxury sounds to good to be true. Oh well maybe someday!! 🙂
Janine Huldie says
Steph, I hear you and when we had the hurricane last year, I realized real quick how hard it was to try to conserve the battery on my iPhone, which was my only real source of connection to the outside world.
Janine Huldie says
Totally loved the Jetsons as a kid. Who would have thought how far we would really come!! Thanks as always Clark 🙂
Cyndi says
I find that when you don't have your loved ones around, you really miss them. I'm going through that with my Hash Brown – still. That dang dog was really like a kid to me and every day I see reminders of him and miss him so. And, since we're out in the country, without him, all these critters are coming near the house. That's all good and well until they actually try to COME IN! LOL…we have cat doors and we have stray cat that has figured out the cat doors, lol. Not sure quite how to handle that because our one cat MUST have ready access to the outdoors b/c he has bladder issues. Oh well…country problems. Haha.
ttoombs08 says
I'd like a chance to miss my guys. 🙂 Very cute post, Janine. 🙂 Well, except for the boogies. ew! 🙂
Janine Huldie says
Lol, I know the boogies have become quite gross and annoying around here, Terrye. But trust me I would like to be without them for maybe an hour before I would miss them too much. Thanks as always 🙂
Bill says
That's an easy sentence to finish…I'd like to have Bev, a computer and internet access. LOL
Have a great weekend Janine.
Janine Huldie says
Bill, I knew roughly what your answer would be and do truly love it. Hope you too have a great weekend!! 🙂
Katia DBE says
Yes, that sounds like my kind of island! Make some space for us!
Janine Huldie says
Totally will Katia!! 🙂
Susan Zutautas says
Decided to join in on Finish the Sentence Friday. I wrote a poem 🙂
Janine Huldie says
I saw it Susan and can't thank you enough. I truly loved your poem and take on this prompt 🙂
Lanaya @ Raising Rea says
You are so good to pick your family ~ while I would also pick mine I think I would get a bit more greedy. Not sure what they all are off the top of my head but I know that they are around.
Agh crap … maybe my family is all that I would take {besides a rockin' house — like the one on top of the waterfall in Miami Vice that the druglord was in!} That's my idea of a house!!
Janine Huldie says
Now that is what I am talking about, too. Seriously, Lanaya you always come up with the best stuff and love you for it!! 🙂
Susan Zutautas says
I only took my husband with me, we could use a little bit of us time 🙂
Janine Huldie says
I saw that and loved it!! 🙂
Kristi Campbell says
I'd bring my husband and son too. Oh and cutest gripe ever about a husband? Your words "stubborn scootchy nature." Ha.
Janine Huldie says
Kristi, I am glad I am not alone in bringing my family along and scootch just happens to be my husband's nickname from me and I am his Pita, lol!! 🙂
April says
I'd bring my husband and children. If other things were allowable, I would take indoor plumbing and electricity. I could do without the internet because if I'm stuck on a desert island, the last things I'd want to know that someone else was partying! LOL.
Having a husband from the islands… and his desire to constantly go to one of the cays (small islands), I could SO see that happening!
Janine Huldie says
Oh April sounds like you have a built in excuse to go to the islands and so jealous of you on that one. But can relate to with not wanting the internet, because I wouldn't want to know what I may be missing somewhere else!!
Ruchira says
aawww…this was such a beautiful blog. Family sure means a lot.
Voted for you, janine
TGIF
Janine Huldie says
Thanks so much Ruchira and I do agree about family!! 🙂
SarahA says
I love how you worked the words Scootchy and boogie into the same post! 😉 I'm sure I'd want my family there with me too. Tomorrow maybe.
Janine Huldie says
Sarah, I just came to me and I went with it, but did like the way it sounded when it all did come together. And I hear you believe me, because there are moments when I want nothing more then quiet and don't want them near me, but in the end I really would miss them way too much!!
Judy Haughton-James says
Very interesting post with beautiful pictures of your family. I would also miss my family,inspirational Daily Word Magazine, laptop, radio and television!
Janine Huldie says
Thanks so much Judy and sounds like you would miss a lot of what I would miss, too!!
Kenya Johnson says
Oh aren't you sweet. I just want the cell service and I'd facetime my family from the island 😉 I like it quiet.
Janine Huldie says
And don't forget Siri!! Seriously Kenya, I would love some quiet, but know I would get bored real quick!! 🙂
AnotherCleanSlate says
Maybe the family could be on an island next door?
Janine Huldie says
Not a bad idea, Kate!! 🙂
gigigirl says
Can't think of anything I'd rather have than what you chose! Love, Aunt Gloria
Janine Huldie says
Thanks Aunt Gloria and I thought I made a pretty darn good choice!! Love you too and xoxo!! 🙂
