As you can see falling behind

So as you can see I have fallen way behind on my question a day.  Life has been crazy busy and I have been having a rough go with health stuff.  I will try and catch up on those days soon:)  Now I am working on Halloween costumes for our trick or treating and Halloween party Friday.  Halloween is my favorite Holiday so I am VERY VERY excited:)

Day 21- One thing you can't live without

Ok aside from a person if it had to be a thing I would say if I was stuck on an island and could only take one thing it would be music.  I love music.  I love the sound, I love the way it makes me feel.  I love that it can make you remember a moment so vividly, I love that it can tell someone how you feel.  I love to dance, I love to sing( not well I might ad:))  I love the way it makes my spirit smile.  Music is a very powerful thing.  So I would choose music.

Day 17-A movie to watch over and over and a book to read over and over

Well of course I have quite a few favorite movies and books but I will say lets see....  If I had to pick just one.  Oh That is soooooooooooooooo hard.  Lets see..

Movie-Twister

I love, love, love this movie!! I love the action, I love the adventure but most of all I love all the characters.  I love the way they interact, I love that they are also different and yet so close.  I have always been fascinated with tornado and especially after living in the Midwest it is a great movie!!! I watch it at least 3-4 times a year:)  I seen it 9 times on the big screen when it came out.  I wish they would re-release it to see on big screen.

Books this is probably even harder.  I love books a lot and I wish soooo many of them would be made into movies but they usually are never as good as the book:)  So for a books I would have to say for a book series I will choose... Love finds you books.  I am sooooo very sad they quit making them but I love that they are set in actual towns and include actual places and some history of those places.  I love all the different authors and different styles of writing.  They are amazing books to read!

Day 14- A favorite quote

I know I am behind on posts so I will have to catch up soon.  Been crazy, crazy, crazy here.  I will date them to be in order:)

This is something that has really hit me hard this year and I have been working on a lot.  Yes in reality we should expect that people we love care, that when we need help people will be there, that people will treat us kind and with respect.  but in reality that isn't the case more often that not.  This is a broken world and there are a lot of broken people in it.  So in reality expectations are ours and ours only.  We are putting those on others and setting ourselves up for failure.  This is something I am really working on not only for myself but for my relationships with others!!

Question a day-Day 9 what might your facebook status say in 2018

Well lets see 2018... That is not quite 4 years away.  I will be 38 that year.  I hope that it will say Lovin life, feeling blessed and headin on an adventure. Just won the lottery would be a nice one to:)


I hope by 2018 we have my health going in a better direction, that we will be doing ok financially and even more we will be doing great financially.  I hope by then maybe I will know where I am suppose to be going in this crazy life!!!  But I have found we can make all the plans we want but life has plans of it is own. Some way better than I have ever dreamed and some that I wish I never had to experience.  But that is how we grow and learn right?!?!?!

Question a day-Day 7 last thing that made you smile

Well today the last thing that made me smile was the pups at work.  We have 3 rat terrier pups here at work and part of my job is to get them out and play with them.  I know awesome job right:)  They are just to darn cute!! They growl, they ruff house, they run to fast for their legs trip and tumble.  They make me smile, they make my heart smile!! They are just toooooo darn cute!!!!

Question a Day-Day 6 the last thing that made you cry?

Well lets see.  I never use to be a cryer.  I use to only cry when I was VERY VERY ANGRY.  But in the past 3 years or so I cry a lot more and easily:(  I have never been a cryer so it was hard at first cause I was always taught crying makes you weak and crying in front of people makes you a cry baby and a whiner. But honestly I think if you can cry and be honest with your emotions and in front of others you are VERY strong.  I think being able to feel all your feelings honestly and be able to process them and move on in life is important.

Well honestly last time I cried was this weekend when our truck broke down:(  We decided to go for a night to meet some family for camping at a lake about 70 miles away.  Eric hadn't had a day off in weeks and works 12+ hours a day so I was very excited about some time together and some time out camping just to relax and forget some worries for a night.  well about 20 miles to camp the rearend started making a noise and then grinding:(  We did limp it to camp but then we had to have the truck and our trailer towed home Sunday morning:(  Since we are struggling so much financially we couldn't afford this:(  It just overwhelmed me and I broke. I was really upset.  Just beyond tired and frustrated.  I just don't get why it has to all keep falling apart.  What I have done to deserve all this.  And the part that made me cry the hardest is where is GOD in all this.  He is sooooo VERY important in my life but he has felt so far for years and feels absent and that makes it even harder.

So that is the last time I cried.

Question a Day-Day 4 What was the last dream you had you remember?

I always have very random dreams.  The last one I had and actually keep having is that I am looking for people I love.  I was looking for my husband, family and friends and I either couldn't find them or they would be right there and just gone.  I feel very alone and sad.  I am searching for them, I am reaching out for them and when I see them I don't even seem to matter.  They are very strange dreams. The last one I was looking in the forest and then there was a tornado coming.  Not sure if dreams really tell us anything but I don't like these ones for sure.

Question a day=Day 3 5 things that make me cringe

1.This one is kind of silly for sure but one of the biggest ones is when a kid or someone sucks on clothing or material.  Even as I write that I am cringing and shuddering:( It is like nails on a chalk board to some people to me.

2. When someone says we need to talk later?  Oh I hate that.  Maybe it is the anxiety in me but it just makes me worry, worry, worry and if it is longer than that day I don't sleep.  I play things over and over in my head.  I know, I know guilty conscience.  With the way I grew up always,  I was always blamed for ruining everything and my parents lives:( So yes I stew, I fret and get physically ill over it.

3. The words GOD Da*#it.  Even tryping that was hard.  I can't stand those words.  They are the worse.  Any way in which someone uses the Lord's name in vain really really really bothers me but that one bothers me somethin fierce.  Is nothing sacred anymore:(

4. Cleaning out the fridge-Yes I HATE that job.  I seem to always find science experiments.  ICK!!!!

5. Ticks, leeches, maggots anything that sucks your blood or crawls under your skin.  I will have a complete and under break down. I only got a tick once in Nebraska and I was ready cut my leg off.  I know to most no big deal and I am good with all kinds of crazy nasty stuff but that I don't do.  Always been an irrational fear of mine.

Question of the day-Day 2 If you had $1000 dollars how would you spend it?

If you had an extra $1000 dollars to spend right now on yourself how would you spend it?

HMMMMMMM..... Lots of things sounds great!!

Lets see I would take a trip to Yellowstone.  I love Yellowstone. I lived near there for a few years and I worked on a pack string in back country of Yellowstone for a summer and fell in love.  It is such an amazing place.  It is full of so much beauty and so many neat things to see and do.  I would live there if I could:)  My husband on the other hand has never been:( He really needs to go.  I loved it in the fall.  It was so beautiful with all the leaves changing and the animals were really active getting ready for winter.  I would love to take him and show him this magical place. Go camp, hike and just enjoy this amazingly beautiful place that GOD made.  That is what I would do!!!

Back country Yellowstone helping pack up the mules(circa 2001)  This is lurch isn't he awesome!!!

Question a Day-Day 1 what is fall to me?

What is fall to me?? HMMMMMMM....

First I will say I LOVE LOVE LOVE FALL.  I love the warm days and cool nights.  I love the changing of the leaves, the colors, the celebration of a great harvest and the saying goodbye of a lot of things in nature for the winter.  Its like they are saying goodbye but remember us:)  It is the smell of wood stoves starting to be used again, it is bonfires with comfy sweaters, hot choc and pumpkin EVERYTHING:)  It is hunting season, pumpkin patches and best of all HALLOWEEN:)  I love to dress up and be someone I am not for a day:)
   Fall is a time of reminiscing of thought and contemplation for me.  It is a time of togetherness with those I love. I love to hear the leaves under my feet,  I love to hear the geese pass over as they head south for the winter, I love everything there is about fall!!!
