Day 8 #30Daysofme Worry Much?

Day 8: What is something you are currently worrying about?

   Oh worry. I am a worrier by nature I think. I have been for as long as I remember. I've always had anxiety as well. It's a real drag. In general I always have worries for my family. Is my husband going to do well enough at work this week? (He sells Cadillacs which is a totally commission based job so even though he works at minimum 12 hours a day) Is my daughter happy enough? Am I doing a good enough job as a mom? I think this is a common "Momma worry" though.

   Something on my mind recently is my little brother. We have had 2 falling outs in the last year over absolutely nothing. Nothing at all! I'd really love to have my brother back in our lives but there's nothing I can do. I've tried. I've reached out. When he needs something he's more than willing to make nice but if he doesn't have a pressing need, I am useless to him. It's hurtful & as much as I wish I could just say "Oh well, your loss" I love my family & this makes me sad. My brother & sister are twins & 8 years younger than I am. I took care of them when they were babies. I had them both living with me when they were teenagers. My brother stayed with me until he was in his 20's. It's just so sad & hurtful that someone I love so much can just cut me out like I'm a stranger. It weighs on my heart every single day. I pray that he will come around.

After a beautiful day at the beach some clouds rolled in over the house creating a nice amount of cool & breeze. Since it didn't happen earlier & block out my sun I loved it! Happy Wednesday ya'll!

 

Day 7 #30Daysofme What's in a Name?

Day 7: What does your name mean? Why were you named what you were named?

   By Google's definition Christine means "follower of Christ". That kinda makes me feel like I was doing a better job since I was specifically named that :) According to Urban Dictionary (which I really kinda love) my name means: 

- A deity; the best person to be in your corner; unlimited power and potential; a muse; someone that can change your life. Someone that takes your side even when you're wrong; soulmate; kismet; fortuitous; serendipity

If I only had Christine, I could do anything!

- This person is very smart and GORGEOUS. She is very easily loved and very sweet. People are attracted by her loving and beautiful hair. When people hear her name they faint for love and jelously

Person 1: Hey I saw CHRISTINE the other day
Person 2: overhears *faints*

Well, clearly truer words have never been spoken! Haha! I knew I loved Urban Dictionary! I was named Christine because my folks wanted to call me Christy. My mom wanted mt name on my birth certificate to be Kristin but my dad didn't like that so they went with Christine. According to my mother if I was a boy I was to be named Christopher Michael. Since I was a girl, Christine just translated over. I kinda agree with what my daughter said when I read my mom's text. That's a lil beat up!

Day 6 #30DaysofMe Sleepwear

Day 6: What do you wear to sleep?

   Pajamas. Peace ya'll! Nah, let me stop playin! I do totally wear PJ's. In fact when I was moving recently I went through my clothes & I realized that I have way more pajamas than I have "regular" clothes. I blame this on being a sickling. There's a lot of days where I know I'm not going anywhere so why get dressed? I do shower! But I tend to jump right back in my sweats & a t-shirt or tank top. & this never changes with the weather except in the winter I wear a hoodie. & yeah, no pics cuz no one wants to see my jammies!!

Love always,

Day 5 #30DaysofMe

 

Day 5: Something about yourself that no one knows

   Hmmm, is there such a thing with me? I'm very outspoken (some people have even called me bitchy!) & I can be quick to give my opinion. Over the years I have toned this down at least 100%. I'm now trying to be a good & caring person & maybe keep my opinions to myself a little bit. So something that no one else knows? That I'm a lot more sensitive than I come across & even though I act tough, things really do hurt me. Sometimes the hurts seem to come from nowhere but I really am affected by the things people say. Even though I will sometimes totally deny it, I am not bulletproof.

Love from,

Day 4 #30DaysofMe

Day 4: Favorite Book

   What an impossible question to answer for such a bookworm as myself! I feel like I've been asked to pick my favorite child! Since answering this question is impossible I have to give some of my favorite authors. I love almost everything written by Maeve Binchy especially Quentins, Scarlett Feather, London Transports & Circle of Friends. I also really loved the Hunger Games series as well. (I only wish the movies had included the...hunger. Otherwise the 1st one wasn't too bad but the books are always better!)  My very favorite books (for more reasons than I can articulate, see my Pinterest board for proof :) has to be all 7 Harry Potter books. I tried at first to resist since they were so hyped up & popular but once I started I was hooked. I've read each book many, many times & I can pick up any one at any time & just start reading away. As proof I have Harry Potter & The Goblet of Fire by my bed & Harry Potter & The Half Blood Prince on the dresser. My daughter is currently reading Harry Potter & The Sorcerer's Stone which makes me sooo proud!

   All that said, I'm a true Potterhead & J.K. Rowling is my Queen so the Harry Potter books may be my favorites out of the thousands I've read since I started reading at age 4.

Big plans for tomorrow!

   Did that title hook ya? If so I'm sorry. I may be the most boring person ever! But I do have plans for tomorrow...they're just pretty lame I'm sure. I am hoping that if I say "this is what I am going to do" I'm more likely to get it done. (I'll keep ya'll filled in as I'm sure you're dying to know!) 

   On the agenda is church with my husband & daughter which is a huge deal as this  is the first time Daddy will be attending with us & we are returning to my church I went to when I was in high school. We are super stoked!! After that we're making a trip to town to do a lil back-to-school shopping for our rising 5th grader. Old Navy & Target are my only for sure stores. Hopefully we find some really cute things. Its awesome that my daughter is getting all into her fashion. She is just growing up too quickly!

   Upon our return home I have much laundry to catch up on (ooh fun!) & then we'll be having taco night. Hopefully during this laundry I'll be able to catch my blog up & do a few things on Facebook. 

   My husband is a car salesman who works at least 12 hours a day & only has off on Sundays for sure then one floating day during the week. Luckily his day off this week is Monday so its like he has a real weekend & that never happens! My tan is in DESPERATE  need of work so maybe I can get up a little early tomorrow & catch a couple of hours. If not I am devoting as much of my Monday to my tan as possible! I am having a bit of a tan crisis!!

   Hope everyone is having a lovely weekend as well! Kisses & love!
