Day 12: Something You Don't Leave the House Without

My initial thought was my wallet.  However, my instantaneous NEXT thought was "That's a lie!".  As William will tell you, we have wound up at the store more times than I care to admit, only to have me exclaim "DANG IT!".  So many times in fact, that I don't even get to finish the sentence before William says "Ahhhh, Mom.  Did you forget your wallet?"  Yeah.  It's that bad.

I suppose the thing I don't leave the house without is my phone.  I always take it when I have the kids with me and we're off on some exciting adventure (you know, like to the grocery store for the 3rd time that week).  I even take it with me when I go for runs since it's my music as well. 

Yup.  I may forget my wallet and leave my keys but I'm rarely to never without my phone.

Day 11: Favorite TV Shows

I'm a mother of a 4 year old and a 21 month old.  I don't HAVE favorite TV shows! LOL I have "kids shows that annoy me LESS than all the others". :)

Well, I suppose I have a few that I enjoy that are more grown up fare but after Prison Break ended, there really hasn't been one I DIE to see every week.

I like Criminal Minds.  The only problem is that I'm a big chicken and can't watch it when my husband isn't home which means I rarely watch it since he's rarely home. :)

I also like Big Bank Theory.  Sheldon ROCKS!

Okay, so I know this is pretty boring stuff but I'm bound and determined to finish this 30 Day Challenge I started even if it takes me a YEAR!! LOL

Thanks for bearing with the boring ones.  Hopefully more interesting topics will follow, whether my own or this Challenge's.

More William funnies...

After the boys and I tried unsuccesfully to "help" the fly get out of the house rather than get smushed, Mommy says "I guess I'll just have to smush him" To which William responds with "Mom. What have I told you about smushing people?" LMAO!!! At least I know he listens!

Day 10: Something You're Afraid Of

There really are few things that I'm truly afraid of.  I'd prefer not to have to deal with spiders but I can't really say I'm afraid of them.  I don't look forward to my boys facing the hard times in life but I'm not afraid of it. Or the hard times I may face.

The only thing I'm afraid of is that I won't be one of the "Lucky One's".  You know, the lucky families who get to see their kids grow into adulthood.  Safe.  Well-adjusted.  Good, happy people. 

The only thing I'm afraid of is that either I or my kids will die before we get to live our lives to the fullest. 

I know I could and would survive anything else.

Day 9: A Picture of my best friend

*ok.  I know "Day 9" took...well...a long time.  But here it is*

This is kind of like my favorite movies, there are several.  Each of these women have and continue to be vital spokes in the wheel of my life.

My closest friend who has known me the longest (and STILL loves me):

My "Sister-from-another-Mother-who-is-2 months-Younger-Than-Me" (not quite sure how that pregnancy worked):

Unfortunately, both of these fantastic ladies live ENTIRELY too far away!

I also have a GREAT group of Mom friends whom are the reason I am not COMPLETELY insane!:
