30 Days of Truth ~ Day 6

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

Wow, I think this is an easy one. I hope that I never have to bury one of my children. I don't know that I could live if something every happened to one of them. The thought alone makes me cry.

I can remember the day I found out I was pregnant with my daughter. It was October 18, 1994...I was...haha you thought I was going to tell you my age didn't ya! Anyway, I was scared, I didn't know what I was going to do. I was young, just a baby myself. How was I going to care for a baby? As time went by and my belly grew, I became more fearful. Could I love a child the way they deserved to be loved? Could I be a good mom?

Then it happened...I went into labor, and I was terrified. All those questions came rushing back. I wasn't just going to be carrying around this baby in my belly anymore. She would be born and she would depend on me. I was scared to death, and not ready for it. When I finally had her, when she let out that first cry, my heart exploded. Suddenly I was a mom, and I found out what unconditional love was. When they put her in my arms, I cried. I cried how could I have ever questioned. Being a mom, the love that explodes in your heart, comes so easily.

When I got pregnant with my second, I again freaked, didn't know what I was going to do, how I was going to make it. Then I held my son in my arms, and there was no doubt in my mind that God had blessed me with the two most beautiful and perfect children.

I never want to lose them, ever!

Happy Labor Day!

I hope you all have had a fantastic weekend, w/ lots of family, food and fun.

This week our guest host is Evonne from Jules Out Loud

1. If you could interview any famous person, dead or alive, who would it be?  What would you ask?

I think want to talk to Marilyn Monroe. I think she was an amazingly strong woman, and I want to know where she found that strength at.

2.  You have to give up one thing for a month.  What would it be - car, guilty pleasure (ie. food, drink, fav. tv show), or sex?

That depends on what month it is. If it's October, I'll give up Big Brother. If it's January, I'll give up Christmas. LOL

I'm trying really hard to think of something I could/would give up for a month. Am I getting paid for this? Or am I just doing it for shits and giggles? I can't give up my car, I need it to get back and forth to work, and I live too far out in the country to think about biking it. Oh wait, I know...I'll give up chocolate. If you know me, you know how hard that would be. But leave my Mt Dew alone, I would fight for that.

3.  Is there a word/phrase you say that you are made fun of for?  If so, what is it?

Yes, I say warter, warsh, and I don't even know how to explain to you how I say drawer, but I get made fun of it. I'm sure there are sayings that I say that I get made fun of for, I just can't think of them right now.

4. Which is a stronger emotion: Anger or Love?

Ok so I came up with this question and I don't know how to answer it. I want to say Love is, because love can conquer all right? Or can it? Anger can take over a person completely and have a direct impact on everyone in their life even if they don't mean for it to. So which is stronger? I'm gonna let y'all debate that, and then decide...LOL Is that cheating or what? I'll post it tomorrow after reading all responses and let you know what my final answer was, and how I came to the conclusion.

5. Where was your first job?

My first job was babysitting. I was 12 years old and I used to babysit the cutest little girl. I can remember being so darn scared at night, but trying to be a big girl because I was watching a kid. What I wouldn't give to be a teen again!

Woohoo - It's FRIDAY!

I really couldn't be any happier for this day to be here. To make it better, I get a 3 day weekend. Just wish I could spend one of those days in bed all day be waited on. Oh the dreams I dream!

Not only is it Friday, but that means it's time for 5Q Friday!

Rules for Five Question Friday: Copy and paste the following questions to your blog post, answer them, then watch for the linky post to appear on Friday morning, at which time you "linky up"! If you don't have a blog feel free to answer the questions in the comments!

 

1. What do you do when you have time to yourself?
Well I like to read, blog, blog design, play w/ my dogs, take a hot bath, sing at the top of my lungs, cry, laugh, enjoy the silence, and the list could go on. I really need a by myself day right now.

2. When you look out your kitchen window, what do you see?
My willow tree!

Isn't she a beauty!

3. Who/What would you want to be reincarnated as?
Nothing. Living this life once is enough for me.

4. What is your biggest pet peeve about other people's kids?
There are so many. I don't know I can pick just one. But if they are at my house, it would be climbing all over my stuff. But it's more lack of parenting then it is the kid that is my pet peeve.

5. Regular or Diet soda?

Regular please! I can't stand the bitter taste of diet. 

30 Days of Truth - Day 5 - Hope

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

The one thing I want to do in my life is establish an animal rescue. It is something I am so passionate about. Something I really want to do. It's one thing that I know will make me feel satisfaction. I think it will make me feel whole. I have stated many times, I want to save this world, one dog at a time.

Opening a rescue would not only save many animals lives, but I think it would complete and save mine. I know there is a huge financial cost. When the time is right, I will put so much savings into that. I know that time will not be until my kids are grown. They obviously come first. But second is my love for animals. 

Click here to give to an animal, it will help a shelter. It will cost you nothing more than a few seconds of your time.
