Here's my two cents...

I've decided to link up with Jenni at Story of My Life for a blog every day challenge.

Advice: Karma is a biatch.  I know people don't believe in karma, but I'm firm and strong in my belief of it's presence.  

So her name is Karma.  She will haunt you.

Parenting Advice:  Relax.  

Fear

I've decided to link up with Jenni at Story of My Life for a blog every day challenge.

Today's topic: what do you fear most.

This answer is easy for me.  It comes to my head instantly.  I fear losing someone close to me.  I know every moment I have with people I love is a gift.   I'm reminded of that constantly.

I can't even elaborate much because my chest is starting to feel tight and panic-y just thinking about it.

My biggest fear is losing one of my babies or someone else in my family.  The thought is almost intolerable to me.

Also, total side note, this every-day challenge has made me notice that a lot of things make me feel very panic-y and anxious, and I'm not really sure how I feel about that.  I want to say it's probably just post-partum crazy, but I'm not really convinced, because these things ALWAYS make me feel panic-y.  I guess I just don't think about them all so close together?

What you gonna do?

If you couldn't answer your job, how would you answer the question what do you do?  Well, I do a lot.        I raise kids.  I'm a wife.  I'm a house keeper.   I'm a chef.   I'm a photographer.  I'm desperate to be crafty.  I'm a shopaholic and a professional procrastinator.  I organize and budget money.  I'm a list-maker.  In addition to that, I have a full-time job.

The most important aspect of my life, for sure, is raising my kids (followed closely by being a wife).

{4 Favorite Things To Do On The Weekend}

This totally depends on the season.  Always: sleeping in, snuggling with my babies, dates with my hubby, and laying on the couch watching bad tv marathons. 

{4 Favorite Things About Your Best Friend} 

I'm going to be a total cheese-ball here because my husband is definitely my best friend, so forgive me.  He loves me unconditionally, he's an amazing father to our children, he always makes me laugh, and he cooks me dinner. 

{4 Things You Would Do with $100,000}

Debt be gone.  I'd like to list a whole host of other things, but by the time all our debt was paid off, this would pretty much be gone.  I don't want you to think that we're deep in the hole on something crazy, but we are fairly deep in the hole on things like student loans, a mortgage, etc.  Also, a ridiculous vacation would be nice.  Anything left would be put towards my kids college fund.  

{4 Favorite Books You've Ever Read}

I love to read, but my "favorite" books are an in the moment thing.  My all-time favorite book was memoirs of a geisha.  I also love chic-lit, the sookie stackhouse novels, and a host of other things.  My favorite books as a kid were as the red fern grows and a tree grows in brooklyn.  My favorite kids book is where the wild things are. 

{4 Favorite Snack Foods}

popcorn, apples and peanut butter, cheese and ritz crackers, and cereal.  I could really eat cereal all day everyday. 

{4 Things You Must Do Daily}

Shower, check email/fb, kiss my babies, brush my teeth

*Sidenote* Did anyone else notice that on 5/5, they asked for 4 of everything?

Cinco De Mayo!

I've decided to link up with Jenni at Story of My Life for a blog every day challenge.

Even though I've been blogging for a long time, I haven't really felt the need to grow or share my blog. As I've gotten older and my friends and I have gone our separate ways,  I've felt more of a need for girlfriends, which I think is one of the reasons I started looking in to growing my blog.

I signed up for a Carabox Match-Up (Check out Katitlyn @ Wifessionals for more info.)  I was matched up with Lauren @ SLP Sooner or Later.  We have crazy amount in common from first name to profession, and I just find her to be super fun.  Check her out.

Make sure you put my bra on me...

Most of my favorite quotes come from patients.  You know, you just can't make that stuff up.  About a year ago, a patient came into my life.  When I think about her, my heart is happy.  My dad actually grew up across the street from her.

She said things to me like:

"I can't come to therapy.  I'm not dressed yet."  Of course she said this and then pulled her shirt up over her head to demonstrate that she wasn't wearing a bra.

Along the same lines, she told me one day, "Oh dear, they forgot to cover my dark spots [nipples]."

Upon response to finding out I was pregnant, "You know, I got married.  I got pregnant and then I had a baby.  I got pregnant again and had another baby.  I got pregnant a third time and I had another baby. After the third time,  I found out that was causing that and I never did it again."

I ended up leaving her when I took a new job and she passed away a few months later.  May she rest in peace.

Am I making you uncomfortable?

This month I'm linking up with Jenni at Story of My Life for a blog every day in May challenge.  
Theme for the day: things that make you uncomfortable.  This could get lengthy. 

• People who have no concept of personal space.  No, I don't need you 2 inches from my face for us to have this conversation.  
• On the same note, being in large groups of people I don't know.  Crowded elevator?  I think I'll take the stairs.
• Middle-aged to old men that take exceptional interest in my child.  This throws up a pedophile flag to me.  
• Vomit, nausea, or other gastrointestinal illnesses. You can read about my irrational fear of vomit Here but seriously. You saying, "my stomach hurts," throws me into an almost panic attack like frenzy.
• Confrontation.  I mean if you have an issue with me, I don't have problems with confrontation, but I don't like other people being confronted.  
• This isn't like an awkward uncomfortable, but more like physically uncomfortable.  Being hot.  We keep our house at ice-box level.  
• Caves and other enclosed spaces.  These induce the same panic inducing feeling as vomit.  Racing heart, sweaty palms, and shortness of breath slap me in the face.

What's making you uncomfortable?
