10 Day YOU Challenge: Day EIGHT, Fears



Day Eight

... fears.

---------------------------------------

10. Frogs

... i hate them. scared to death.

9. Certain people in our lives wanting to control our parenting

... when that time comes, of course.

8. Dealing with forever goodbyes

... worst fear.

7. Being abducted.

6. Not being able to conceive.

... would be my second worst nightmare.

5. Failing as a wife

4.  Cancer

3. Having bratty kids.

... I hope & pray I am not the parent that let's their child run over them.

2. Stretch Marks

... I have very few. I'm okay with them, but I'd be happy if they don't ever

invite their friends.

1. Letting myself go

... women [in general] seem to do this often when children arrive or when the relationship
isn't at it's highest peak. We focus on everything else but us. [In a 10 year dating relationship, I've been here. I never want to  go there again.]

------------------------------------------------------

Today is the day
Aaron and I will be Aunt & Uncle to
little Ryder... he makes NINE! 
 {Christmas is tight & we don't even have children}
We are so excited! He should be here anytime today!
Prayers for Ryder & his parents for a safe & healthy delivery!

i ♥ babies

7. I love when a small child wraps their arms around my leg as if they are

 completely save.

6. I love spending Sunday afternoons wrapped up on the couch with my favorite person.

[Aaron, of course]

... doing nothing means everything.

5. I love when my Shih Tuz, Jackson [who pretty much is adopted by my in laws]

10 Day YOU Challenge: TEN Secrets



I stole this yesterday from Caitlin over at A Country Nest!

Day TEN 

.. secrets

10. I love my house clean, but the secret is... I'm the worst

"stuffer" on the planet. I stuff items that have no certain "home" in the house

in random spots. This is very aggravating.

9. As much as I love her, I often clash with my MIL.

I wouldn't trade her for the world.

8. I have a weird case of ... reading people very well. It's almost scary.

7. Since the day Aaron told me he was ready to start a family [back in February]

I've kept a journal [a blog post saved as draft] on our conversations & thoughts about becoming parents. They are moments I never want to forget.

When that time comes, I will post it.

6. I am 100% completely addicted to mobile FB.

5. My car is always... a mess! But what my sister says "smells like a bakery".

4. I wish more than anything for my fear of frogs to vanish. There is no running from

frogs in Georgia. We actually have a toad [puke] that lives under our front porch &

visits every night... right.by.our.front.door. As soon as he comes out, I stay in for the night.

I can not get me to cross over the doorway.

3. As much as I will convince you that I am not a sore loser. I am.

2. I really hate the term, 'regrets only'. It is ass backwards to me & does the planner NO GOOD. That being said, I irritates me more than anything... when someone doesn't

RSVP.

1. Sometimes I go three days without washing my hair.

Okay, so some of these were more of FACTS.

I had a hard time with secrets... I splurge on my own secrets.
