A Day in the Life of...GUESS WHO?

Today, I was awakened by the sound of elementary kids. I was resting very well until they came barging in and startled me. It wasn't so bad though, being that they do it every day after school. So, of course I'd planned events for us to do today, as I do every day. It wouldn't be a super duper day without fun events! First, we set out for an adventurous day in the park. We were acting as if we were hunters in the woods searching for Koala bears. We dressed up in cowboy outfits for the occasion and after finding the bears, getting eaten up, we magically disappeared to escape from them and were surprisingly back where we started. Then, we headed back inside to discover a mess of paint, toys, papers and various arts and craft material everywhere! Someone had left the door opened on the way out and a little kitten ran rampant through our things. That turned out to be great! Another fun event! It gave us a chance to clean up and sing songs and play numerous riddle games in the process. Before we knew it, the place was squeaky clean. After a long adventurous day in the park and so much fun cleaning, we were all tired and decided to part and go our separate ways. Until next time...Now I can go back to sleep ahhh…

Chest Attack!

Okay, so, the most terrifying moment of my life thus far....it would DEFINITELY be the time that I thought I was having a heart attack. About a year and a half ago I was moving into a new house. I was so excited about it that I decided to move my things in ahead of time before the rest of the family. It was a boring summer day and I figured, what the heck, I can load my truck and move in some stuff. So, that was just what I did. Later that night, back at the old place, I was surfing the net and began to feel sharp pains in my chest. I tried to ignore it, until it continued. I was so afraid that I began to panic and had a panic attack. I couldn't breathe for a hot second so I just knew I was a goner. I rushed down to my parents room shaking and yelling, "my chest is hurting and I can't breathe!" Of course, I woke the whole house up. The pain subsided after I laid in my mom's arms (yes I still sleep with her when I'm not feeling well). Finally daylight. I awoke to no pain at all. Until evening. I'm in bed, comfy, and there's that pain again....had me up all night. I finally decided to go get checked out. As I lay in the hospital bed awaiting x-ray results for my heart, all I remember is my insides shaking all up and having cold feet and hands. My mouth was very jittery because I didn't know what was gonna happen. Here the doctor comes, with a big smile on his face, saying, "you are fine." Come to find out, Ihad pulled a chest muscle in the process of lifting those heavy boxes that I was so anxious to move!:/ Yeah, I felt very stupid. If only I had waited. That horrible pulled muscle took months to heal and even now I still have to be careful of strenuous work. Lesson learned: Be patient....and let the men do all the work;)

Are You A Needy Person?

Have you ever been in a relationship where you seemed to be the one that always needed attention? Nothing was good enough or something was always lacking....you found yourself unsatisfied with the way things were going most of the time... simply because you were TOO NEEDY. I define a" needy" person as being one who is blinded by selfishness. He or she thinks they need attention or need more quality time, more surprises and gifts, more hugs and cuddles, more phone calls during the day when in actuality, these are only things they want and most of the time it's their way or the highway. Since selfishness is blinding them, it only lets them see the other person and all of their "faults" (things you think they should or could be doing better). This, ladies and gents, is how relationships fall apart; whether girlfriend and boyfriend, husband and wife or just bffs. Let us wake up this year and see ourselves as we really are and not just the other person. How about we step up a notch and do the things that we expect others to do for us? If you find yourself in the category of being a "needy" person, what are some things that you can do to help have and keep lasting relationships? Think about it.
