This week i have worked Sunday 12:30-5, Monday 4-8, Tuesday 4-8, Wednesday 11:30-2, 5-8, off Thursday, Friday got called to go in 9-2 then got called again to work 3:30-8, Saturday 9-4, Sunday(today) 12:30-5. And i just picked upi hours for tomorrow as well, 9-2, which im excited about because i get to see all the little kids dressed up in their holloween costumes! I absolutely love the hours, so don't think Im complaining one bit! I have picked up every Saturday for the month of November (hrs. 9-4). I would love to work everyday so any time hours are available i take them! I am so glad/grateful to have found a job I enjoy so much! Plus picking up extra hours will make up for the time i will be missing when we go home! Bahh you have no idea how excited we are to go home and get away for a little while! Have some family dinners, hang out with our siblings, play with our dogs, watch tv at night with our parents, see our best friends and much more! Its going to be a well deserved fun time, thats for sure!

Well i have to get and start cleaning up the place and getting ready for work!

God Bless!

Dare to be DIFFERENT

A lot of people try to alter who they are to be more like others. But me, not so much. I am who i am, so except me for me. To me, Originality is key! If you want people to like you for who you really are then you must show them who that is! One thing i have always disliked is a "copier". I am one who has always wanted to be original. I have always been different in my own way.. Back home friends and family and fellow employees would ask where my hillbilly accent that randomly comes out came from, because no one else in my family had it. I honestly dont know..i didnt wake up one day and decide i was going to rock a hillbilly accent. But rocking my differences is just what i liked/like to do!  And like with a camera in hand, i see things so differently it amazing. I have seen plenty of photography pages, enough to know that some people arent very original with their work. You have to be willing to think out side the box to capture a memory so beautiful that it will last a lifetime. But everyone is so scared to different that they just dont try anything new...they stick to the "norm".And to me, the NORM is just boring!  "Don’t try to be someone else. This may seem like it goes without saying, but just be yourself, you want your clients to hire you because they feel a real connection with you, not with an idea of someone you are trying to be." - Megan Squires.  I believe this is one reason why i absolutely love watching dancers because it seems like every dance/dancer is different, everyone and every move adds a little something extra/different to the dance floor. And maybe thats what we should all do.. picture life as one big dance floor as we are all God's dancers with our own unique steps, with a few battles along the way. 


i have always been told that it is better to keep things as they are, but nothing is ever going to change and no one is ever going to be different if we all continue to "copy" others and to "alter" who we are to fit in. If you have to copy or change yourself to fit in then your always going to be unhappy, because you are not being true to you and your living a lie. 

the point behind this blog is to sit back and ask your self do you "DARE TO BE DIFFERENT"   




God Bless! 

Lifes a learning game

Here is a shout out to all my supporters! I am very thankful for those whom i have in my life and i do not know what i would do with out them and their support. Friends will come and go but family is forever! Sooner or later you will come to realize who your friends really are, who the drama starters are, whose right and never wrong, whose there for you and who never really was, and you will realize whether or not you have put your trust in the right person. But i mean it is what it is, you live and you learn right?! But really all that matters is Family, To me if you turn around and your family is always there then you are golden! No matter what your family and loved ones will always be there, no matter how much you fight or how wrong you really are when you think your always right. Your true friends are always there to back you up. And your family is always there to push you along when you feel like giving up. I will never be able to forget or replace any of my friends nor family, for they have all been there for me when i needed them most and i love them for that! I hate being so far from them all the time but "Sometimes you have to be apart from the people you love, but that doesn't make you love them any less. Sometimes it makes you love them more."- The Last Song. Honestly I am very excited to go home to see everyone who loves and supports us, and get away from all the drama here! The husband and i are both very much in need of a break, And a break we will get!

hello coat

well here it is...the coat is back in action! today was 47 outside and rainy, had i had the chance to stay inside i most definitely would have...but i had to work, not once but twice today! which isnt all that bad because i love my job but the fact that i must go outside in the cold to get there sure is a downer! one would think i would be use to the cold considering i am from ohio and the weather is bipolar and winters are rather rough there. honestly i dont know what im so worried about considering what i have been told they get here all winter is what we would get back home in one day! dont get me wrong i absolutely love snow, its gorgeous, i just wish it were warm! haha. one thing i do enjoy about this time of the year is the beautiful colors of the fall leaves and the smell in the air, and seeing all the holloween decorations and carved pumpkins outside! but to me this is coat weather! not to mention pumpkin pie, and some apple cider! yummm! There is one thing i do like about cold weather, and that is being inside my warm house smelling my apple spice candles while cuddling up to the husband and our dog!

Happy Fall to you all!

God Bless!

generosity

the other day while the hubby and i were at burger king getting breakfast we saw this guy with a truck full of 2x4's stop in the middle of the road. he got out of his truck when to the back then got back in and pulled his truck off to the side of the road. the light turned red so he ran out to the road and started picking up 2x4's out of the middle of the road and carried them back to the side. Apparently he had dropped quite a bit out of his truck because he made a couple rounds from the truck to the road. then two cars at the light turned on their four ways,  got out of their vehilces and started to help the man pick up the 2x4's out of the middle of the road. two men and a lady in heals also made two rounds to the road and the truck. i was so amazed to see such generosity it had been a while since i had seen such kindness, even when it comes to just holding open the door for someone. at work the other day i was just getting there for my shift, there was a guy behind me so i help open the door he walked through and said (with an odd look on his face).. "thank you.....im still not use to that". im not sure what he ment by that exactly. but have people stopped caring that much..enough to not even hold open a door for someone!? i mean really, what has this world come to!?

indian giver

so just when i think my life is drama free, BAAM drama! well i am not really going to get into that. but i do have a question that i would like an answer to, regarding the drama that has recently occurred.

1. If someone gives you something does that make it yours? or is it still their's for the taking?

i believe when i was younger i was taught not to be an "indian giver" and once you give someone something its there's for good unless they decide to give it back. maybe im wrong? maybe somewhere along the way i completely misunderstood everything that i was taught?

(below i will state in orange what it was that i could have misunderstood and after in blue i will state what i know i was really taught)

maybe i was really told it was okay to be an indian giver? - Indian Giver- meaning one who gives a gift but later takes it back
or that really your suppose to treat others how you wouldnt want to be treated? - Treat others the way you would want to be treated. 
and maybe stick and stones cant break my bones and your words will always hurt me? - Sticks and stones may break my bones but your words will never hurt me. 


i mean dont get me wrong i know people are brought up differently but isnt that all just common courtesy!?

well thats all for today. i am going to go use some of my frustration and clean! everyone knows a good clean is a mad clean!

God Bless!

mother may i

when i was little i loved being around babies, more than anything. i enjoyed very much helping my mother with the foster children we would get. i absolutely loved it! i always played house and was a mommy to the baby dolls. and when i would play barbies i was either a mom or a babysitter. i started babysitting at 14. i loved it. i babysat for two ladies my mom worked with, and i babysat for my cousin and her boyfriend and her friends, i also babysat for my neighbor. i took child development in high school, learning all about pregnancy and children, we even had to take home those babies that cry to be fed and changed. it was awesome! and not that long ago i babysat for a lady with 6 kids, whose husband was just getting home from deployment. and now that i think of it 95% of the little ones i have babysat were girls! and as many of you know i am now working in a nursery and kids club at a gym near by. so needless to say i love kids, i absolutely adore them. and i cannot wait to be a mommy myself! the hubby and i have been talking about it lately. and although many may not approve for they think we are "too young" and "rushing it". i know everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but what do they know? they arent us! and last time i checked age wasnt really the most important factor in having a child, MATURITY was and knowing that YOU are ready!? am i young, yes.. but i am also married to a guy ive been with for three years, my high school sweet heart, my best friend! and yes i know that having a child is a big deal, im not naive to that one bit. when i am bored and have nothing to do i look up stuff about pregnancies and children. and almost every time i learn something new. i have talked about it and thought about it very much. this isnt something that i just thought id try out. this is something that we both want very much. like i said we have thought about it and talked about it and now that things have fallen into place and we are both working and things are going very well, we are sure we are ready! and like i said this is something we both want very much and are excited for! we both cant wait to be parents, we want to have children at a young age, because we want our parents to be able to be a part of their lives and be able to do stuff with them. and we also want to be young and able to do all sorts of fun and exciting things with the children we some day have. so i guess with that being said you could say we are trying, but we are not labeling it as that, we do not want to get upset when trying takes longer than we hope. so that is why we say when it happens it happens. and i also know there are some of you out there that say "that is wrong, and we should either want it or not". well thats not at all what we mean when we say itll happen when it happens, because believe me we do want a child, we just arent going to get our hopes up and like i said before it take longer than we hope and then we get upset and all of that!  but do not worry when it does happen i will make sure to let you all know!

"i believe that maturity has more to do with what types of experiences you've had and what you've learned from them and less to do with how many birthdays you've celebrated."

God Bless!

addictions

last night the husband and i were talking about addictions and how we really dont understand them, and maybe its because we have none and so to us it is just a choice..but to those who do it could be more?! i dont know. 

first off i would like to start out by saying sorry if this offends anyone.

and i would also like to say that these are just my personal thoughts and feelings.

i just dont understand addictions.. people say they are addicted to this and addicted to that and they just cant go with out. but isnt it just a choice? dont YOU choose to do whatever it is your "addicted" to? such as smoking, everyone says they hate it and it tastes bad and that it makes their clothes smell but their addicted to it so they cant stop...they chose to start so why cant they choose to stop? the same goes with drinking and being an alcoholic, you know what your doing when your doing it so why not stop doing it? they say they can go years without, and then all of a sudden something in their mind tells them they need a drink and then it just goes over board and things are bad again. then there are people who are addicted to drugs because they get them high, they know its wrong and it could do alot of harm to them..but they like the feeling of being high and care free so they continue to do it?  there are also other types of addiction, that i have seen in shows on tv..like people saying they are addicted to sex, vomiting, tattoos, porn, violence, body building and caffeine, diuretics, gambling, pain killers, and much much more...some of these things can cause so much harm to you and your loved ones! and most say they are ashamed of their addictions and that it has ruined many relationships with loved ones in their lives..but once again they continue to do it. i really just dont get it. maybe i would understand if i were in their shoes but im not nor do i wish to be. i simply just dont understand.

not feeling so hot

well the past few days i have had a killer headache, so i have been taking pain meds like everyday when i wake up.. because i know if i dont my headache will never go away. when i wake up with headaches they only get worse and worse as the day goes on.  well yesterday i woke up with a headache and a slightly sore throat and stuffy nose. i dont recall taking anything, and since i didnt work i just made it a relax day. well i went to bed early, around 7:30 ish i was feeling a little better by then, but not completely. i figured id just go to bed and sleep it off. the hubby got up for work around 3:30, asked me how i was feeling i said like death, so he went and got me some nyquil and MADE me take some. i absolutely HATE that stuff! but i took it! and now i am feeling a little better, still a little stuffy but my throat doesnt hurt and my headache isnt nearly as bad as it was! thank god for that because i have work in the nursery today! working in a nursery with a headache just doesnt sound that appealing to me! haha. this way i can feel half way decent and play with the little kiddos! i am not sure that i will be playing with them as much as normal, because i do not wish to get any of them sick! lots of washing hands and hand sanitizer, is in my near future!
