30 days of Truth

I know ..your probably thinking...what? What is this girl doing?
But give me a minute..
Has anyone ever told you something about yourself that really ticked you off and made you mad..but it was .........................true.?
That happened to me this weekend. Gregg and I were having one of our "discussions" when I realized that the reason I can never keep up with all our laundry is because when I get dressed in the mornings I put something on..don't like it..so I throw it down...then it ends up in the dirty clothes...which in turn has me griping about much laundry there is all the time and wondering how it always happens...
Well Gregg finally told me...it is because of me. And I can't argue..because it is...
I can explain though.........   hee hee
When I put something on ..I don't like it...I throw it down and in my mind I am thinking I am going to put it to the side because one of these days within the next 3 years
I AM GOING TO HAVE A YARD SALE!!!
Ha!
Yea right!
 Anyway on to my post...
Over at Angel Believes she is doing a thing on her blog called 30 days of Truth. It is hard to be truthful with yourself...so everyday for the next 30 days I am going to honestly answer a question about me.

Here is the list of questions I am going to answer over the next month..
Day 01 → Something you hate about yourself.


Day 02 → Something you love about yourself.

Day 03 → Something you have to forgive yourself for.

Day 04 → Something you have to forgive someone for.

Day 05 → Something you hope to do in your life.

Day 06 → Something you hope you never have to do.

Day 07 → Someone who has made your life worth living for.

Day 08 → Someone who made your life hell, or treated you like shit.

Day 09 → Someone you didn’t want to let go, but just drifted.

Day 10 → Someone you need to let go, or wish you didn’t know.

Day 11 → Something people seem to compliment you the most on.

Day 12 → Something you never get compliments on.

Day 13 → A band or artist that has gotten you through some tough ass days. (write a letter.)

Day 14 → A hero that has let you down. (letter)

Day 15 → Something or someone you couldn’t live without, because you’ve tried living without it.

Day 16 → Someone or something you definitely could live without.

Day 17 → A book you’ve read that changed your views on something.

Day 18 → Your views on gay marriage.

Day 19 → What do you think of religion? Or what do you think of politics?

Day 20 → Your views on drugs and alcohol.

Day 21 → (scenario) Your best friend is in a car accident and you two got into a fight an hour before. What do you do?

Day 22 → Something you wish you hadn’t done in your life.

Day 23 → Something you wish you had done in your life.

Day 24 → Make a playlist to someone, and explain why you chose all the songs. (Just post the titles and artists and letter)

Day 25 → The reason you believe you’re still alive today.

Day 26 → Have you ever thought about giving up on life? If so, when and why?

Day 27 → What’s the best thing going for you right now?

Day 28 → What if you were pregnant or got someone pregnant, what would you do?

Day 29 → Something you hope to change about yourself. And why.

Day 30 → A letter to yourself, tell yourself EVERYTHING you love about yourself

the fastest two years of my life

This past Sunday we celebrated Lyla's 2nd Birthday!


I , like every other mother, can not believe that my baby is two years old! It seems like yesterday we were bringing her home from the hospital, waiting for her belly button to fall off, excited to try out the first baby foods. Now we are singing songs, and ABC's, potty training, talking in full sentences.





Where did the time go?





Did I treasure it all?





Did I record everything I wanted to?





I have to say in two years..she is a beautiful, mature, and smart cuppy cake!

There has been hair pulling times and times where I laugh so hard my jaws hurt. Being a mom is the best thing I have done in my life. I know now why I looked forward to it all those years as a child...it is like nothing else.





It is extremely hard but greatly satisfying.





Nothing compares.





I have to admit ...it is sometimes hard on your marriage..it is stressful and you take things out on each other. It is times like these though that you gather the family together, enjoy each other's company and when the chaos is all over Gregg and I pull together and say, "Look what we have done!" and we bask in the pride and joy that we have raised and nurtured for two years.

Gotta love this!

isn't that just what you wanna see when you pick up your child to start your weekend!!

the good thing is ...that this preschool is WORTH it! I don't mind paying that much for the care and learning experience that my child is getting! I love it!

***Disclaimer: There is absolutely nothing wrong with the preschoo I work at...It is a wonderful preschool too! In fact today we had a Kid Carnival..how many preschools do that? It was amazingly fun! For kids and the teachers! But I am a firm believer in NOT working where your child goes to preschool.

playing with our not so puppy anymore

I know i didn't post on here when we got Gunner...but he was soooo cute..sooo little...

and now...

he is huge!! and he isn't even a year old!

Here is Gunner as a puppy!

Thank goodness he is an outside dog! Here is Gunner now..

Today we took a little time out of our day to show Gunner some attention...sometimes i feel bad because he is in our backyard and we get so busy that we dont' show him enough attention..

now my husband on the other hand shows Gunner more attention than he does me!

So please don't worry the dog is NOT mistreated..but Lyla and I are busy women!

Out we went into our backyard ....and snapped a few pictures of our time with Gunner!

He is a big klutz...and sometimes he barks and gets on my ever loving nerve...but looking at these pictures makes me love him even more!

Gotta Have...

This is a must have for any child's bathroom!

It makes baths so much more fun!!

Not to mention you could use it as a learning experience

*sorry that is the preschool teacher coming out in me*

All they are is a circle of hardened food coloring..but I can't help but buy them for the little one because are just so much dang fun to mix and watch the water change colors!!

It is actually pretty at first...

but once you start adding "all" the colors like my child likes to do..it turns a wonderful muddy brown! Then your taking a bath in mud! How much more fun can that get!!!
