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 18 of 30 day challenge-Things that I do when I'm stuck at home on a rainy day.

On day 18 of my 30 day blogger challenge I must tell what things I do when I'm stuck inside on a rainy day.
Well if my hubby is home you can guess what he wants to do all day on a rainy day...I will keep it PG-rated!! LOL
On rainy days when stuck inside I usually clean, watch tv, read or do things on my computer...usually either facebook, pogo games, or abandoned places. Oh and I blog sometimes!! :)
I love to snuggle up on the couch with my pillows and soft cushy blanket!! Normally I'm almost ran off the couch by my weinie dog and cat so they can snuggle up in them tho!! LOL notice I said almost!! :)

                                         Waylon trying to hog the couch!! LOL

Callie hogging the bench we used as a couch...now we have a big comfortable couch. She still hogs the big couch we have now!! LOL :)

Well guess that's it for day 18! :) I hope everyone has a wonderful day!! (((HUGS)))

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 :)

Day 4 0f 30 day challenge- Weird things you do when you are alone.

Ok day 4 is kinda...WEIRD...lol

So I have to blog about weird things I do when I'm alone. This could be very interesting! lol I don't know if I'm weird or not. Does a person really think the things they do are weird...I always thought that other people just thought other people are weird! lol Since I have to come up with something I'm going to say one weird thing I do when I'm alone is I turn on one of the music channels on tv and dance as goofy as I can. I dance like the saying...dance like no one is watching. My dog and cat are
watching though and they look at me weird and the dog starts jumping around like I'm doing this all for his enjoyment because he thinks I'm trying to play with him!! lol

I also talk to myself when I'm alone. I'm told that is fine as long as you don't answer yourself...I actually answer myself sometimes! Does that mean I'm crazy? Nahhhhh I think it just makes me weird!! LOL I can't think of anything else that I do weird when I'm alone. I guess like I mentioned at he beginning of this post people really don't think the things the do are weird so I guess I'm out of things to blog about for now. :)

 

A little about us

My chaotic life is about...well...my chaotic life!
I'm happily married to my husband of 19 years. We have 2 sons and a daughter-in-law (who I consider my daughter) and a grandson aka Boogie. We are Honey and Popsie. Our oldest son, dil and Boogie live with my dad, who lives right behind us. Our youngest son still lives at home with us. Our sons work with their dad at the power plant in Jewett. I don't work...but work my butt off at home taking care of things.
We have 3 pets...a dog, a cat and a parrot. Our dog is a red-dappled daschund named Waylon, our cat is a female calico manx named Callie and our parrot is a green-cheeked amazon named Tiki. We love our pets like members of the family and they are all very spoiled!
I live my life with fibromyalgia and all the problems that go along with it. Fibromyalgia is not a walk in the park! It is a debilitating syndrome...some days just getting out of bed takes effort.! Luckily I have an understanding and support family and physician who help me through it!
Well that's the basics! Read my blog daily to find out more :)
