A dear friend of mine, Luna Wolf from Luna Wolf’s Mystical Essence, has been a wonderful friend, fellow WAHM, cheerleader, and more, for me over the last year or so. She is a wonderful friend to everyone she meets.
Why am I telling you all of this, you may be asking?!
Well, I read her blog today and was totally shocked! She has nominated my Dawn’s Learning Toys blog for The Honest Scrap Award.
This is a true honor! Thank You Luna!!
The way it works is like this.
1) List 10 honest things about yourself.
2) Pass the award on to 7 other bloggers who you feel embody the spirit of the Honest Scrap.
So, here are my 10 honest things about myself.
a) I live in a very small town in Pennsylvania called Cresson. Most of the time I think it is a great little town since there’s never any drama, but there are days where I wish we lived on some farm land where I can just step outside, sit on my front porch and look at nothing but the absolute beauty of the land. Let my children run on several acres of of land and not be so concerned with oncoming traffic.
b) I have a horrible, horrible habit of biting my nails. I know, its disgusting, but contrary to popular belief, it IS a hard habit to break!
c) My son was diagnosed with Juvenile Diabetes on October 6th, 2008. Since that date, I have become pretty OCD about finding things that he CAN have, such as candies, cookies, ice cream, cakes, pies, you know, all the things that come along with a normal childhood. It has become my passion to keep his childhood as “normal” as I possibly can.
d) My family and I live with my sister-in-law. We currently can not afford to get our own place, so it is just cheaper to live with her and split the bills.
e) Coffee is the only thing that keeps me awake LOL. I tend to drink between 6 and 7 cups of coffee a day or more… depending on how many hours of sleep I got the night before.
f) On average, I only get about 3 1/2 hours of sleep a night. Why? Because since my son’s diagnosis, we are having to check his sugar at midnight, and if he is high or low then, I then have to recheck it again at 3am. Since I know I don’t wake up with alarm clocks, it is just better, and safer, if I stay up to check him. And, since breakfast has to be at 7:30am every morning, and my kids are generally up for the day by 7… that means I have to be up by 6 or 6:30 (although, when I am really tired, which lately has been the case, they wake me up when they get up LOL)
g) My favorite TV shows are CSI Miami, The Beast, Intervention, and well, most of the shows on the A&E channel LOL.
h) I try my best to help others when and where I can. I will do my best to help anyone I possibly can, and if I can’t, I direct them to someone who may be able to help them more than I can.
i) I absolutely LOVE being a mommy! I love being there for them, kissing their “boo boo’s”, showing them something new and seeing their faces light up with joy when they learn and understand it. Playing with them, reading to them at night before bed. Being a mommy has been the absolute most rewarding “job” I have ever had!
j) My number one Pet Peeve is a liar. I can not stand a liar. Lying to me, in my opinion, is like slapping me in the face. I don’t care what the lie is about… if I am lied to, I take it very personal. I try my best to be an honest, up-front person, and I expect the same in return. That is my absolute biggest pet peeve (although haha I’m sure I could list a few others that come in a close second place LOL)
