Halloween

Halloween is my least favorite holiday. I hate being startled. The dressing up, the candy, carving pumpkins, that's all in good fun when you're a child (or if you can go to the bar) but ask me to go to a Haunted House, Corn maze, or anything creepy, absolutely not. Kierstan always laughs at me because I HATE scary movies. So why wouldn't Halloween be my least favorite holiday?

Quote of today!

Have you ever had one of those mornings where it takes every ounce of strength you have to get out of bed? That was how my morning started. I considered not getting out- but where would that get me? Bored, tired, and unproductive. So instead I got up, let the dog out, took dinner out of the freezer for tonight, then stopped for a second. Yikes, I've become a regular housewife. Who knew that would ever happen? If you knew me a year ago you'd laugh at the thought- I couldn't even put a chicken in the oven without ruining it.

"It's funny how day to day nothing changes, but when you look back everything is different." This quote really hit home for me today.

The Right People

As I continue to get older, I realize more and more how important family is. Not just family, I suppose, but having a good support system around you, and people that will be there at the drop of a hat. Yesterday, I got into my first car accident. Nothing too serious- just a fender bender (that was totally not my fault.) Yet, it's incidents like that, that can open your eyes to who is really there for you and who is not.

The Real World

Trying to balance my life is hard. I wish I could let one of you try it for a day. I get up, I go to school. I get up, I go to work. I balance my friends, boyfriend, family, pets, homework, real work, everything you can imagine. I don't know how I do it. The real world is hard. They don't prepare you for that in high school very well. This is not a complaint post, just expressing how in awe I am that I've managed to get this far with so much to do all the time. It's kind of crazy.
