The Fugly Week!

This has truly been a fugly week since I’ve started blogging and I feel so bad that I started out so great doing the NaBloPoMo and then boom all of a sudden I get hit with a ton of bricks and feel like I’m falling behind.

I have just wanted to sit down and burst into tears since Monday night, I am feeling tired, afraid and overwhelmed because I’m a week behind in posting anything new and haven’t followed any of the daily prompts at all and my job search is lagging behind. Continue reading “The Fugly Week!” →

Chili, Casseroles and Birthdays

This year we are having a little surprise dinner for dad and the guys, nothing too fancy just a way to say happy birthday and we love you. We decided to have a chili contest between my sisters and I and let the guys pick their favorite, even though the only vote that matters is dad’s so of course we are going to do what sisters do and outdo the other to win points with the old man 🙂 Continue reading “Chili, Casseroles and Birthdays” →

One Lovely Blog Award

The other day I woke to a very wonderful surprise in my comments, a fellow blogger Terryb at “Through The Lens Of My Life” had nominated me for the One Lovely Blog Award and it just about brought me to tears. To receive this nomination is for me a great honor, it felt like I had just been nominated for an “Oscar” 😀 Thank you Terryb for thinking my blog was lovely, I really do appreciate it from the bottom of my heart.
