I'm back.....not necessarily better than ever, but back.

Wow, I have let things slide.  I undertook a 31 days to clean and the group I am doing it with (holding each other accountable) have had to let people catch up, etc.  And in that, well, we are still in our 31 days.


So, I'll go back to my blog questions.....I'm just picking one that I know I can answer.

What are the 10 most significant events in your life?  After number 1, these are not in any particular order.
1.  My marriage to my husband
2. The birth of my twins
3. The birth of my daughter
4. The birth of my youngest son
5. My miscarriage
6. The murder of my parents
7. The death of my maternal grandmother
8. My oldest twin getting married
9. The death of my paternal grandfather
10. Has yet to happen



Life continues to tick along in my house.  We all wake up, the younger 2 go to school, the older one still living here goes to his temp. job, the husband goes to work.  I go about puttering around the house trying to keep my mind sane and my body from leaving the house to spend money.

One, Two, Skip a few, Ninety Ninety, One Hundred....

Okay, missed a few days.....open house visit with my daughter to her first choice college. Then just recovering from that visit and trying to get over the bug we brought home.

So, with that I'm going to skip a few of the questions as they don't really pertain to me in my current life situation.

So, my best friend in life - that's the question that I will chose to answer today - Who is it??

Well - we've been friends for over 25 years and of those, we've been married for almost 23 of them.  Yes, my best friend is my husband.  He has been my rock, my shoulder, my constant, my ear, my heart, and my strength for years.  He is who I go to when I need to talk, when I need to cry, when I need my ego boosted, when I need reassuring,etc.  And the best about this relationship is that I can say with 100% certainty that I am the same for him.  

We look forward to growing old together, to having grandchildren come visit for us to spoil, to traveling the world together, to being together as our bodies (but hopefully not our minds) fail us.

Our 22nd Anniversary - still together after all these years.

So, what is today's blog challenge??

What do you dislike the most about yourself?  This is the question to be answered today - 

I dislike my quick temper.  I snap, I scream, I know I have a temper and it can be bad.  I have tried to work on it and some days my tongue hurts from biting it.  

So, if you look at yourself, what do you dislike?  That's usually easier to answer than the question - What do you like about yourself.  It is much easier to criticize oneself than to complement.  You don't want to come across as conceited when figuring out what you like about yourself, but know that there is no way to come across as conceited when criticizing.  

So take a minute today, go look in your mirror, smile at yourself and find one thing that you DO like about yourself.  If could be as simple as liking that tiny freckle that is 2 inches below your right eye towards your ear. Just find something, I guarantee it will make you feel better.
