Do you play a sport? Tell us about it. If not, talk about a hobby you may have.
No I don't play any sports, I'm very un-athletic. I can play tennis just a little, bowl almost worse than my kids, and that's about the extent of my sports. lol
As for hobbies, not many of those either. lol I love to play on the internet, I'm trying to learn to be a little more creative, doing crafts and stuff, but it's not coming easy. I'd like to learn how to paint, play a musical instrument, scrapbook a little and do all sorts of cute crafts,

Day Twenty One
How has your life changed over the past year?
Well, it's been a lot of ups and downs, but things are better this year than last year.
Although I'm having to work more, I am having so much fun w/ the kids and Elena and I are closer than ever. Things typically are pretty good w/ DH, probably better than last year. I've lost some friends, who come to find out were never really friends anyway, and gained lots of new ones. Some of the emotional baggage is gone , funny how that happens when you get rid of the wrong people. lol. Also even though I will always have my depression issues, I actually find it a lot easier to be positive and it is starting to come more naturally. Not saying I'm anywhere near where I want to be, but hey, progress is still progress and I'll take it :)

Day Nineteen
Write about your last birthday and how you plan to spend your upcoming birthday
Last year, I didn't really throw a birthday party, but I did have a sex toy party the weekend of my birthday and some of my friends brought me a cake and we drank tons of booze and had a great time!
This year I'm not sure what I'll be doing. I would love a huge party or a little weekend getaway as this is going to be huge birthday 40, yikes!!!

Day Eighteen
Post one confession/secret
I'm pretty open and honest, so I really probably don't have any sort of secrets that at least somebody doesn't know about.
I guess I will do a confession:
If my husband isn't home, I have a hard time going to be by myself, I usually just leave the tv on and fall asleep

Day Seventeen
Bullet your day
Ok, so not even sure what the heck that means, and with the week I've had, I'm going to choose to interpret that as skip my day. lol

Day Sixteen
Upload a picture of your room, talk about your room.
Ok, not doing this one, as my room is currently a mess, full of clean laundry still in baskets. The walls are purple, which I hate, and the bedding on it is brown. I can't wait to re-paint our room and redecorate it in animal print. I'll take a before and after picture and post when we finally do it.

Day Fifteen
Write about something that you worry about a lot.
I'm a big worrier anyway, but the most common currently is money/my business, and dying. I know it's a natural part of life, and we all are going to die, but since I'm getting older, I'm a lot more aware of it and since I have children, I have so much more to lose now.

Day Thirteen
What are your plans for the future? Far and near?
Near plans for the future are to have fun w/ the kids. Picnics at the park, riding bikes, swimming pool, playing outside. Hopefully a beach trip before the fall.
Far plans: to make the shop better , run smoother,etc. Possibly go back to school. I think that might be really fun, but terrifying although I don't think John wants me to . To watch my kids grow up, teach them to be the best adults they can be and watch them marry and start their own families.

Day Twelve
Write about the worst day of your life.
The worst day of my life was the day my father died. I was eleven, going through that awkward pre-adolescence struggling trying times of my life. I was always a Daddy's girl, even though my parents were separated and he was living in Texas while we were in TN. I idolized my Dad, I didn't know of his faults, he was just my Dad, the man who loved me unconditionally, always hugging me and calling me his "sugar", who made me laugh, and was always there to play and joke around or just to give you a needed hug. When he died, I went to his funeral and even though my family tried to pull me away as they lowered his body into the Earth, I had to be there for it, I had to see that this was real, that the man I loved more than anything or anybody in the world was being laid to rest and was gone. Like really gone.
It caused me to blame my mother for not agreeing to take him back. If only.... If only she hadn't left him, if only she had let me live w/ him, he would still be alive. He would still be there for me, instead of in the cold ground, leaving me alone. All alone. Yes I had my Mother and sister, but they were a pair, like two peas in a pod, my other half, my sweet Daddy, had left me. It left me with much anger, and I had quite the troubled childhood. I was rebellious, and got into trouble. I hated my Mom, she didn't deserve it, but I needed someone to blame. I later found out all the problems that my Dad had, that his death, even though accidental was of his own doing. It knocked him off the pedestal I had for him, but I love him. I will always love him, through all of his faults, he was my father. To me he was an excellent Dad, funny, kind, caring and compassionate. He never let a day go by without letting me know how much he loved me. I'm very much like my father, we share all the same good and bad qualities. He's been gone 28 years now and while the hurt is a little less, I still feel it. On the anniversary of his death, I mourn him, on his birthday, on Father's Day, when I graduated, when I got married and had to walk down the aisle by myself, when I had both of my children ( I always knew he would be a great Grandpa, yet he never got the chance) all of these days I mourn him. I think of him often, talk to him and I know he's my strongest guardian angel in Heaven and I look forward to the day I get to see him again, hug him and introduce him officially to my children. I love you Daddy!!

Day Eleven
Write about the best day of your life.
Easy and transparent, the birth of my children. I would imagine if I had to pick one it was the day that I had Jackson because it is indescribable the emotions you go through that you've never experienced before going from a childless woman to a mother. We had no idea if Jackson was going to be a boy or girl, although my insticts told me boy. He was this perfect beautiful little baby, who had made me so sick for about 5 months, and 20+ hours of labor later, he was in my arms. I wept, I have never in my life been so happy, and experienced such complete and unconditional love for anything in my life. I thought I knew what love was about, but seriously the love you have as a mother, there's just no greater. I would forgive my children anything, I would sacrifice anything for them, they are my world. I have to add that I was blessed to have Elena 3 years later, and while having a daughter is scary stuff, she amazes, entertains and thoroughly enchants me everyday.

Day Ten
Talk about your pets, or the pets you would have
I have 3 cats and a gecko.
1) Macy- sweet girl who drives me crazy by wanting outside all the time, and she can be mean sometimes to my hubby and the kids, but she's a sweet girl and she spoons w/ me every night.
2) Spike- Jackson's cat, poor sweet thing, he's the one who went a FULL cycle in the dryer and amazingly survived. He's also got a broken tail, not from the dryer incident, it was broken when we adopted him.
3) Goose- Elena's cat, he's a huge beautiful gray cat, who is just so gentle w/ the kids, but he drives me bonkers by always trying to bolt out the door, and he's so heavy on his feet that he sounds like a child walking through the house.
4) ZLeo- Jackson's leopard gecko, not the pet I wanted, but Zappy bought her, she's a sweet girl, but I don't like her diet of crickets, it grosses me out, they smell , they sometimes get loose in the house ( fortunately my kitties catch and kill them) and she's the worst hunter in the world, I swear she would die, if we didn't help shove the crickets towards her.
The pets I would love are, a Pug or Boston Terrier and a bunny rabbit.

Day Nine
What's the nicest thing anyone has ever said to you?
Probably when my kids tell me I'm the best Mommy in the world, and when Jackson tells me I'm the most beautiful girl in the world <3

Day 8
Are you a fitness guru or a couch potato? Talk about your exercise habits.
LOL, ok well yes I am definitely a couch potato. I used to work out a lot when I was younger, I even worked out the day before I gave birth to Jackson, but once I had kids it was hard to find the time to work out. They always wanted me to hold them, need stuff, etc. Yes I could work out in the morning before they get up but I'm not much of a morning person and they tend to get up by 6 or 7, or I could workout when they go to bed but who wants to exercise at 9 or so in the evening? I could join a gym, but the last time I did that the kids cried that they hated going to the childcare area which made it even harder. My kids are with me almost all the time other than when I have my Mommy nights, so if I join a gym, it's gotta be one my kids are ok w/ as well.
I really want to start working out though because I need to get healthier not only for my kids but for myself. So this spring/summer, I'm going to try to make time for myself to work out. I don't know if I can pull it off at home, or if it will take me joining a gym, but it's time to do something healthy and good for myself.

Day Six
When was the last time you cried?
I think the last time I cried was last week, either Monday or Tuesday night, I watched Secret Millionaire and I swear I was teary eyed the entire show. It was about a woman who was living out of her car and created her own business and became a multi-millionaire. She went to Knoxville to find worthy organizations to donate money. Nobody knew she was rich and the organizations that she helped were full of amazing people who really just touched my heart.
If you watched it the one that tugged at my heart the most was the Love Kitchen ladies, God bless those women, they are truly angels on Earth<3 If you haven't watched the show, please watch it! It's so awesome to see what can be accomplished by people who genuinely want to do good. It restores your faith in humanity.

Day Four
Write about your closest friends
I wanted to skip this one, because it's tough to answer. I have a lot of great friends, and it's hard to pinpoint who I'm closest to at this stage in my life.
When I think of this question, I think of best friends that you've had for ages, who are there for you no matter what happens, they're like family, you can always count on, who have your back when nobody else does. I would love that kind of friendship, but things change and as adults sometimes your friendships are different, when you're trying to make time for work, family, commitments.
What I can say is I have a number of different friends, who I have fun with. Some I've known for years, some are newfound close friends. All I can say, is for the friends I do have in my life, I'm so glad that they're there. :)

Day Three
If you only had 24 hrs to live, what would you want to do?
I'd have a quick little going away party and then take my kids to the beach. Playing w/ the them in the water, collecting sea shells, and just watching them have the best time would be all that I needed.

Day Two
Talk about your piercings or tattoos, if you have any.
I have 6 tattoos. My first tattoo was a dragon on my chest, I don't regret getting it, but wish I had put it somewhere else. I got it when I was 18. Second was a matching tattoo that me and hubby got on our anniversary. Third was a tattoo of a paw print w/ the letter S in it, I had it done on the one year anniversary of my cat Sebastian's death. Fourth and fifth were Mother's Day weekend over a year ago, E's is a ladybug w/ Kanji meaning Independent Spirit, Jackson's is his eye and initial w/ Kanji meaning kindhearted and compassionate, my sixth is a tribal forget me not, in remembrance of the child I lost. I'm not done yet w/ the tattoos.
As for piercings, I have my ears pierced, nose pierced and nipple. I don't recommend getting your nipple pierced.
