Blog Award :)

I received this award from a very special lady. Mary from Blessed Not Crazy. If you don't already know Mary, you should head over to her blog and get to know her and her angel Micah. Mary also has a rainbow on the way! And you should also check out Micah's Gift. This is in honor of Micah. Here, I'll show you a picture of what this amazing woman does for other BLM's.

I've done number one already. So, 7 things about myself? And fair warning, this will be totally random.

1. After the boys died, I could not watch any baby shows. Now, I can watch 16 & Pregnant (on MTV) but I still can't bring myself to watch A Baby Story (on TLC). I have tried, but I can't. Silly, I know...why one and not the other. Don't ask me!

2. I'm not a shoe girl (I live in Flip Flops during the summer and hate every minute of Tennis Shoes in the winter so I usually live in Uggs.) But I am a purse girl. I LOVE purses. I would probably buy a new one every week if I could afford it. LOL.

3. I used to smoke (cigarettes people, nothing illegal!) I would quit cold turkey with all my pregnancies, literally the day I got a BFP. And I would be fine. It would last about 6 months after I would give birth but then I would start up again. (never around my children and never in our home) After the boys died, I started smoking again. (I know, gross) But I am proud to say that I have not smoked since December 31, 2010. I know, not that long ago, but I am determined never to smoke again...ever!

4. I think I have OCD. Okay, maybe not but I am a control freak and when I get into a situation where I am not in control it does cause a bit of anxiety.

5. Sometimes I feel like I am not good enough. Whether it be as a mother or as a wife, or as a friend. I doubt myself A LOT.

6. I'm a person that will give you a second chance. But if you choose to mess up again after that, I will be done with you. Sometimes I feel like that's a bit harsh, but I have had to learn the hard way that people will take your kindness for granted and walk all over you. What's that saying, "Don't mistake my kindness for weakness"? Something like that.

7. My husband, my kids and my mom are the MOST important people in my life. They keep me grounded and I would do absolutely anything for them.
