For not being a reader of my favorite blog ever..... Barefoot Foodi

I was introduced to her wit and hilarious view on motherhood by my sister-in-law.

She was introduced by Lori.....shout out to you Lori....I know you read this!

This one had me rolling the other night.

Mom, you may not want to read. Just a warning.

Day 4: Something you have to forgive someone for.

30 Days Of Truth......day 3

Day 3: something you have to forgive yourself for.

(picture taken by Little Man himself)

I think in in the midst of adjusting to taking care of and running around for this little one, I sometimes take my frustration out on this little guy. I suppose acknowledging it helps right?


For example. I am constantly complaining to my husband how Little Man makes me late to any place I go. Just two days ago I realized it wasn't even Little Man's fault. It's my fault for not letting the baby cry more.
.

I am getting LM dressed when the baby starts to cry. I stop what I am doing and go to get the baby. Once I settle him, I start to dress LM again. Then the baby cries some more and I move him to a different location for some change of scenery. By time I finish dressing LM I feel like it has taken 45 minutes.....when really I was running around doing other things. I shouldn't get mad at that sweet kid. Did you see his face?
So this is a shout out to Little Man....I'm sorry you sweet kissable little boy. I love you...
Don't worry he hears that from me all the time.
Kids are forgiving people. Thank goodness.

I love my boys.

30 Days Of Truth......day 2

Day 2: Something you love about yourself.

hmmmmm.

crickets chirp

I even asked my sister what I love about myself.....she had a great answer too!
I will not use hers, I must be able to answer this.

After a while of thinking I have the answer.

I am a loyal friend.
I love that. I want my friends and family to know that they can always count on me, no matter what. I think a good example of this would be..........

back in high school I had this guy I was dating.
I went on a family vacation to Utah for a week and half. When I returned I heard that one of my best friends was now dating the guy.

A. I didn't know we were done dating.
B. I didn't know she was interested in him
C. I guess I shouldn't have told them to see the movie without me that one time.....



After a blow out at my cousins house with the two of them and my sister almost punching my friend in the face...I decided to forgive her. I was pretty much done with him anyways.

I love my friends and if I could have it my way, I would never lose a friend. I sometimes get sad that I have drifted from some of my friends I still hold dear to my heart.

30 Days Of Truth......day 1

Okay. This week is going way faster than I think it should be. Lets get this 30 Days of Truth started!! Here is the whole list of questions.
Day 1.
Something you hate about yourself......

That is such an easy question for me to answer. Doesn't everyone know right off the bat what they would change?

For me it would be my anxiety.

I could completely live my life without freaking out over everything. My anxiety affects my life on such a daily basis and even though I have become very good at hiding it around others. If you really know me. You know I have issues and worry about all kinds of things.

Now I know what you are thinking. Rebecca, I worry about everything too! Well just so you understand where I am coming from I have a bit of information from Helpguide.org to clarify just what kind of worries I am talking about.


Worries, doubts, and fears are a normal part of life. It’s natural to be anxious about your upcoming SAT test or your finances after being hit by unexpected bills. The difference between “normal” worrying and generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) is that the worrying involved in GAD is much more frequent and disruptive.

For example, after watching a news report about a terrorist bombing in the Middle East, the average person might feel a temporary sense of unease and worry. A person with generalized anxiety disorder, however, might be up all night afterwards, then continue worrying for days about a worst-case scenario in which his or her small hometown is attacked.

That is SO me! I don't like to drive at night because once I heard on the news about a man
with police lights pulling women over and attacking them. I just know it will happen to me.

Also I refuse to pee in the toilet without looking first, for fear a critter is waiting to bite me. I read about that in the paper as a child.

Yes.......

I know. I am crazy!!

Those are just a few examples I feel like sharing.

So there you have it.

I hate my anxiety.

PS
If you join in on 3 Days of Truth, let me know!

Lets face it, I cannot blog every day and I really don't want to answer some of those up there. I will give it a try and promise by the end of the year I will have them all answered for you.....

I will start next week. If you would like to give it a try along with me let me know so I can read yours too.
