**Dani will be helping me at the flower shop this weekend for Valentine's Week. It's a long process to prepare for that holiday, so I'm so grateful for her help! And we get to work together, too! Woot!

**I felt like giving up on my revise, because it's the third go around with this story, and I KNOW with each revise, it's making the story stronger. But it is so frustrating. My CP's --- if it weren't for their pep-talks and giving me a kick-in-the-butt, I don't know what I'd do. I'm so thankful for them.

**The Walking Dead is back on this Sunday!!!

**This week, my youngest and I, have been sick. He had fever, chills, and congested while I had the "nothing will stay down" side of it. He feels better today! (yay!!!) 
Since Sunday, I've been living on popsicles and crackers, because hardly anything agreed with me, but yesterday I was finally able to have a meal. (yay again!)

**Haven't been able to continue with revise because of the above, but lots of thoughts have been brewing so I think that's something to celebrate, too!

**Three of my boys have basketball games tomorrow. Can't wait to see them hoop it up! :D

Celebrations:

• Girls night out this weekend. A lot of the time, I decline, because I'm a home-body and like to be with my family, but I know it's important to hang out with friends and decompress, too.
• I finally started Mina Lobo's That Fatal Kiss. I won this book the end of Sept, but haven't been able to delve in until this week. I'm totally digging it so far...and Hades.... *shivers* .... yeah. :D
• Yesterday, my sis gifted me with the ebook Hold on Tight. It was such a nice surprise!

*My oldest son's cross country team qualified at Sectionals and is headed to Regionals.  So proud of him, and the team as a whole. They've worked really hard to achieve this.

*My two middle sons finished their projects, both due on the same day, but from different time periods. One made an Egyptian death mask, while the other made a Miami Tribe village. We learned a lot about King Tut, how the Miami Indians lived, and about... "papier maché." :D

*My youngest son has a fish now. He chose a red betta and named him Mr. Fishy and Capt. Jack Sparrow, depending on the day. LOL

*I had a nice time at the craft get together with Dani. 
We made wreaths. I went with an Autumn one for my front door. We also ate yummy snacks and had girl talk. I think it's important to decompress and just hang out, which is great for ones spirit. :)

My celebrations:

**My 7 yr old son and I went to "Take your mom to school night" this past week. We had so much fun! We played a trivia game, had dessert, and crafts... we made a "mom and me" hand print that I'm going to frame, and some bookmarks.

**As of last night, my current WIP is at 62k. Woot!


**I came up with an idea for a novel and the characters are talking away. I try to jot down what I can and have an outline ready to go.


How about you? What celebrations do you have for the week?

My celebs:

• Three of my four sons have sports this weekend--cross country and fall baseball! Woot!
• We're going to my hubby's cousins house for the annual "cousin party." It's so much fun! We catch up on all the going-ons, have dinner, and the little ones get to play together.
• I've been wanting to create other animals with flowers. So far, I've made a puppy, a piglet, a bunny, and now a lion's face. Yay! I thought he turned out sorta cute, but I was a little nervous since I'd never made one before.

 

How about you? What celebrations would you like to share? Have a great weekend! And remember...

Celebrate the small things and Confessions Blogfest

Celebrate the Small Things is the fun weekly meme hosted by Viklit @Scribblings of an Aspiring Author, where we share things we wish to celebrate, and then hop around to other bloggers to rejoice in their celebrations, too. :)

My celebrations: 

I did the Color Me Rad 5K with my hubby, Dani, and her hubby. It was so much fun and did wonders for me, my spirit, and my friendship with Dani. :)

It's time for the Confessions Blogfest. Dani @Entertaining Interests and want to know what not-so-dark secrets you have. If you want to share the dark ones, by all means, but this is the world wide web, so... yeah, that saying "What happens in Blogosphere, stays in Blogosphere" ... That probably won't happen, so use your own discretion. 

It can be fun facts about yourself, quirks, memories, dreams, wishes, something you did that you're proud or not-so-proud of. The list is endless. We just want to learn more about you.

The below might seem trivial to some, but it is who I am and believe it or not, it is taking a lot for me to write them out because there's this little thing called anxiety that likes to mess with me. 
*deep breath*
These are my confessions **cue Usher music** ....

• When I eat french fries, I don't eat the entire fry. Instead, I discard the part that I touched. Typing that out makes me sound crazy... *shrugs* My hubby was the first and only person to notice and mention it many years ago, and he still comments on it to this day. He says it makes me - me. :D
• I wish me, my family, and my friends would have a "dance" like the end scene of Footloose. It would be a blast! Some day, I'd like for that to really happen     .....This leads me into my next confession.....
• I love singing and dancing to the movies Footloose and Grease 1 & 2. And when I say singing and dancing, I'm talking about going all out. I sing into a hairbrush, play air guitar, and jump on furniture when no one is home. I act like I'm a rock star, but I'm really a dork.

So there you have it. Any confessions you'd like to share? Hop around to the brave bloggers below and see what they have to say.

Express Yourself Meme and Celebrate The Small Things

Express Yourself Meme is done weekly by me and my fellow blogger and friend, Dani @Entertaining Interests. Our goal? To get to know other bloggers better, and learn things that make you, well, you. :D

For this week's topic, we came up with this: 
What is the biggest challenge you face socially?

I'm painstakingly shy, so it takes me a bit to warm up to people. I can open up when I'm around fam and friends who I've known for a long time. But with others? I feel knots in my stomach and like I'm about to give a speech in front of the classroom right before throwing up. The feeling is brutal.

Do you have any challenges that you face socially?

Celebrate the small things is the fun weekly meme hosted by Viklit @ Scribblings of an Aspiring Author.

Instructions: Each Friday, share things you wish to celebrate and then hop around to other bloggers to see their celebrations.

My celebrations:

• My 10 year old hit his first home run in an All-Stars Tourney! Seeing that cute smile on his face when he talks about it melts my heart.
• My sis gave me an awesome belated birthday present - an autographed vinyl by the band, Papa Roach. When I opened it, I screamed... LOUD. And may or may not have said some bleepity bleeps, but only because I was so excited. :D
