Writing challenge day 3: top 3 pet peeves

Today's challenge topic is my top 3 pet peeves. This one is a hard one as I really dont feel I have true pet peeves. I guess if I had to choose it would be people leaving dishes and stuff laying around. I can understand leaving them down for a minute but when you get up take them and put them where they belong!! It really drives me crazy when visitors do it like have more respect than that. My next pet peeve is when people talk bad about kids or people with special needs. So many diseases are invisible, don't talk bad about anyone because you never know what they are going through. Just because they do not look sick doesn't mean that they don't have something wrong. Do not judge what you do not know. So many people say "that person isn't old and they aren't in a wheelchair why do they need a handicap spot?" They may have a physical problem that they can't walk long distances. they may be just having a good day, but even good days can change at any minute. they may have or be wiht someone who has autism or epilepsy or something to where a quick exit may be needed. There are so many reasons so please do not judge people so quickly when you do not know their story. My third one would be when people say they will be at your location or will meet you at a certain time and that time comes and goes and they make excuses and are always late no matter what. They may eventually show up or sometimes may not show at all. It drives me nuts. if I tell someone I am going to be somewhere I try my hardest to make sure I show up and if something comes up I let them know.

What are your pet peeves?

                                                   

Writing challenge day 2

Today I am going to write about something that someone told me about myself that I never forget This one is a hard one. I would say it would have to be anyone telling me I am important.  It took me a long time to really believe this one. i never really felt important and sometimes still struggle with feeling important. I have tho think though I have 4 amazing kids who depend on me. I have a great job that my bosses love me and my coworkers depend on me. My family and friends depend on me. There are a lot of people who depend on me and so I have to remember I am important.
                                                 
I was made to feel for so long that i wasn't important that i forgot who I was and lost myself. I didn't believe I was important. I have had to relearn and am happy that I have been able to do that. I just want to remind each and every one of you that you are important, you do matter.

                                      

30 day writing Challenge day 1: 10 things that make me happy

I am doing a 30 day writing challenge. For day 1 I am writing about 10 things that make me happy. Here we go:

1. My kids- My kids are my world. Without them I am not quite sure where I would be. Just thinking about them helps get me through even my darkest days. when I was at my saddest in the first days after my ex husband left my kids would just cuddle me and love on me and it helped me get through. I love watching them learn and grow into their own personality.                                              
2. My family- my family is my rock. My parents and my grandma have helped me a lot especially in this past year. There were times they were the only thing I had. They are there to help me at my lowest and help me celebrate my highest points.
3. Listening to music- music is essential to me. It helps me express how I feel and it helps me to relax. Pretty much anytime I have the ability to listen to music I am listening. When i get home from work, the music goes on. It helps me unwind after a day of working and it helps cheer me up when the day has been a little rough. 
4. Taking baths- they are relaxing to me and also help me unwind. I also have back problems since my car accident and so when i am in pain a nice hot bath helps.
5. Disney World- some people may say Disney is for kids, but I say they don't know what they are talking about. Disney is fr everyone. When I am there it helps you forgot at least temporarily about the problems you have to deal with in the real life and just be a kid again and have fun. It is a great getaway. 
6. My nephew. He just turned 1 yesterday and is just adorable. My babies are all getting too big, so I get my baby fix through him. He is my only nephew and I have so nieces so he gets all the spoils.                                    
7. The beach- I love the water and love swimming and I love the warm weather so the beach is perfect. Plus you can do so much: lay in the sand, build sand castles, swim, look for shells, see dolphins it is just great!
8. Making people smile/happy- I love making others happy and seeing their happiness makes me happy. i am a people pleaser and have a hard time saying no because I just want to make them happy. this can be ad at times, but I try.
9. Writing my blog- Here I can express myself. I am able to write about what i want, when i want. i love getting feedback from my readers and seeing what you enjoy or don't enjoy so that I can improve. I started my blog years ago Just as a way to write about family things just more as a journal. i never expected it to turn into what it has today. I love writing for you guys and hope to do so for a long time. 
10. Animals- I love animals especially cuddly ones. I grew up with cats and they are just so cuddly. I am not a huge fan of snakes though so they do not make me happy. But puppies and kittens do

                                                

happy 1st birthday to Greyson Jewel

Just wanted to say a quick Happy 1st birthday to my nephew Greyson jewel. You are growing so fast and I can't believe how big you are getting. I can't wait to see what the future holds for you and continue to watch you grow and see what you can do. You get cuter every day and you are my little buddy. You already have an amazing little personality as you can tell in the pictures.

 
  
  


 
 
   

Your cousins love you and really enjoy playing with you. I love watching you grow with them and I am sure you guys will be best friends as you all grow up together.
 

Your dad is so proud of you, and I am proud of the dad he has been. He loves you very much and has from day 1. He is my "little" brother and I love getting to watch him experience the love for you that I have for my kids.



Loved watching all your first holidays
