Day 26 of 30 day challenge-who am I?

                          Day 26 of my 30 day blogger challenge asks who am I?

 I am a wife, mother, grandmother, daughter, sister, aunt, daughter-in-law, sister-in-law, cousin, niece, and granddaughter. I'm an everyday person with everyday problems and joys!! I'm kind hearted, loving and caring. I'm moody and selfish at times. I love the people in my life whole heartedly. I hold grudges and can be very strong willed. I get my feelings hurt very easily and don't forgive very easily at times but at other times I forgive in a heartbeat. I love animals, and babies, especially my Boogie, Waylon and Callie!! I love my husband so much, he is my soul-mate and I can't not imagine life without him. I love my boys more than words can explain. I have enjoyed raising them and now that they are grown I don't know what to do with myself and I have major empty nest syndrome!! I love Christmas and snow but that is the only part of winter I love. I love the season fall best of all the seasons, I love the color pink especially with black or zebra striped. I love zebras and wish I could own one!! I love the ocean, I love the sand between my toes and the wind in my hair. I love finding things on the shore that you would never expect to find there. I love to find perfect seashells and finding a brilliant piece of sea glass in an unexpected color. I love sitting in the sunshine. I love so many things and enjoy life. Once I get out of the funk that I've been in for the past couple of months I will be so excited to enjoy life to the fullest again!! Well there's a lot more of me but for now I guess this is it. :)

Day 8 of 30 day challenge-short term goals/goals for the month

This is my post for day 8 of my 30 day blogger challenge. My topic today is what are my short term goals/goals for the month. Well my goal for the month is to get my Christmas shopping finished. I have bought one gift and it is for Boogie. I really need to get on the ball here and get things bought and wrapped up!
Another goal is to be caffeine free by the end of the month. I also need to be off of all sleep aids except Melatonin. I had a major reaction to my Ambien and have been taken off of it but I'm having to take Valium to calm my panic attacks down so I can sleep at night. My goals is to only take the Valium for as long as absolutely necessary! If you take Ambien and are reading this please consider talking to your physician about getting off of it. It put me into a complete nervous breakdown/psychosis crisis episode. I wanted to hurt myself and had to be watched 24 hours a day until the Ambien was out of my system. Hubby has missed 2 weeks of work and goes back for the first day tomorrow. Hopefully I do well without him and the panic attacks stay under control!
I finished one of my goals for the month yesterday. I got my Christmas decorating completed! Here are some photos of my handy work:

I also put lights up around the front porch but I will have to take photos of that later...after I clean up the porch because it's a mess right now. Well I think that's about it for my short term goals for the month. I have lots more but probably won't get them done so I may as well not waste mine or your time putting them here for now. LOL :)
