it leaves out the Gloria Patri and the Fatima prayers.

But it is my understanding the whole idea about counting on the rosary beads is not to forget or leave out prayers and one of the reasons it is used????

There are spaces and beads. If you really want to know this information, and are not just playing games, I’m sure you can call a parish school and ask for someone who would be willing to teach you.

Or, go here:

But, the Rosary is more than repetitive prayers. If you want to know the Rosary, say the prayers sincerely. For example, you would not pray the “Our Father” as fast as you could, just to get it done with, you would recall that you are talking to the Lord God Almighty, Who sent His Son to pay the price for your sin, and with love and gratitude in your heart, say the prayer.

The listing of the Mysteries at the link tells the image you should hold in your heart as you pray, and gives a Scripture reference.

If this does not appeal to you as a spiritual exercise, that is not a problem for me, and while I’m sorry that you are missing the blessing of the Rosary, unless the Holy Spirit moves you, the information you requested is on the page, I have nothing further.
