If you had the power to change one law, what would it be and why?

I don’t know all the laws of the land besides the ones that impact my life like police laws, city laws, and so on. I am law abiding person and wouldn’t want to change anything in those realms. The one law if its even consider that would be schools. I can not stand the amount of time kids spend on electronics in school and people wonder why small motor skills are terrible. Well if they don’t need to use a pencil to take notes, complete assignments, or to even write their names of course that skill will be lost. Don’t get me wrong I think its a good thing to still be able to type and use the computer but it doesn’t need to be all day every day. I also feel all kiddos from elementary through high school should have more outside time minus the 2 days of gym class and recess in elementary. The push to fill a kids day with classes on top of classes is ridicules and needs to stop.

What’s the first thing I would do?

Daily writing prompt
You get some great, amazingly fantastic news. What’s the first thing you do?

If I received some amazingly fantastic news I would tell my best friends first my husband. Any news I get bad or good I go to him first and tell him. He is my support system, my rock, and just seeing him can brighten up my day. When he gives my a hug I just feel the stress leave my body and I relax.

After telling him I would tell my other best friend that I meet threw work. She’s an amazing person and she gives great advice!!

How are you creative?

The first thought that comes to mind is to be nagative with my arms folded and say “I’m not creative!”. But in all reality I am very creative. I just survived 24 days of moving the Elf around the house and him doing many different activities or tricks. Another way I am creative is what I do for a living, I work at a child care and I’m creative every day all day either with imagination play or with arts and crafts. I’ve picked up some hobbies like sewing, scrapbooking, and vinyl crafts which I do this hobbies from time to time, definitely not as often as I would like.

What podcasts do I listen to?……

Daily writing prompt
What podcasts are you listening to?

Before I share what podcast I listen to I have to let you in on something I like to do when it comes to podcasts. I like to follow all the podcasts that people talk about or tell me about and then not actually listen to them. Every time I have a chance to or want to listen to a podcast I always choose the same one that brings a smile to my face and its called Morbid by Ash and Alana to raid chicks. This podcast talks about true crime from all years of life, from 1932 (the latest I know of) to present day. They talk about so many different true crime cases from serial killers to stalkers and these women are awesome to listen to. They also do listener tails were those who listen to their podcast are welcome to share a story thats about themselves, family members, or from their neighborhood, that is spooky, haunting, or criminal. You should check them out, as far as I know there are on all plate forms were podcasts are played. Let me know what you think.

Describing a family member

There are many family members I would love to describe but the one that comes to mind the fastest is the one I miss the most.

He is a five foot 4 inch with a big Santa belly that jiggles when he laughs. He has a big wing spand made for the tightest and warming hugs. He has a calm red beard mixed with red, brown, and white hair. His head har is the same but less white hair and so thick. I have never seen his face all my life tell he got sick and they had to shave it for the oxygen to fit better and to be more beneficial. I was 19 when I saw his face for the first time and let me tell you I was shocked what I saw. He had rose round cheeks and a strong looking chin. He has bright blue eyes that are filled with kindness that is matched with his personality. He is the nicest person you could meet and would give you the shirt off his back and mine too. He would help anyone who needed help no matter how much work he would have to put into it. He enjoyed being outside either have a fire or working in his garden. He was a big deer hunter along with duck hunting and some fishing. He could make your bad day better just from getting a hug from him and him asking how you’re doing.

This is my dad and he’s been gone for almost 9 years and I miss him tremendously and wish I could feel his strong hugs again. This is a picture of my dad after he got sick and his beard grew back all white 😦

What technology would I be better off without, why??

I would love to say I would be better off without my phone but leasts be real it wouldn’t be realistic at all. I not only use my phone for phone reasons but I also use it for work. Without my phone I wouldn’t be able to document all the things because I wouldn’t have a phone to do so.

This question is really making me think about the other technology in my life and how much I use them. The technology I use is television. I hardly watch tv during the week and when I do its only for a few minutes because children and bedtime lol. Since hitting the rip age of 35 I have discovered that getting lots of sleep is my jam and I know longer feel the need to jeopardize sleep for watching tv. Because I barley watch anything as it is I know I wouldn’t miss it at all. The one thing I would miss would be being able to watch the Harry Potter Movies but I can always read the books again. So win win I guess.

What’s the first impression you want to give people?

The first impression I want to give to people is I’m a kind women that is trust worthy, good listener, and will help no matter what the problem or issue is.

That right there is my dad in a nut shell and I want to be just like him. People in the community would came to him for help and he was always willing to help and be there for them. I like to be there for people but on my own terms. I have learned in the past that I have a tendency to stretch myself too thin.

How do I……..

mange screen time for myself. Well I have children and they take over the tv’s either watching shows or playing Frotnite with their friends and then I have my husband that takes over after the children. I do watch some familiar shows like NCIS that brings my comfort while I’m washing the dishes or cleaning a room. I would say I don’t get very much tv time but screen time on my phone is another thing. I catch myself many times just scrolling to get away from the stress thats happening around me. I would also spend so much time Pinterest looking at all the things I wanted to do that over time it became overwhelming. I now only go on Pinterest to actually look for something that I need in that moment ie; recipes, things for children, or something I’m looking at for work. I really have become mindful of how much time I spend on my phone by using the app thing on my phone that breaks down how much time you spend on each app and then at the end of the week it calculates it all together. I’ve made it my goal to stay under 5 hours each week and that really helps me.

My Favorites!!!!

My favorite form of physical exercise is lifting weights! I really enjoy lifting heavy weights and watching over the course of a few months my body change in a few areas. It’s empowering when you see the physical changes when you flex or when your clothes fight tighter in certain areas. For me its the biceps/triceps and the quad/hamstrings and I know I’ve really grown those muscle groups. Another physical change is how much stronger I am when lifting something up that is not a weight. Lifting a child is so much easier to do and it doesn’t hurt when doing so. Lifting bails of high suddenly feel so light which is an amazing feeling because those bad boys can be heavy! Carrying feed at the food store, loading the feed in the car, and then again at home doesn’t feel exhausting but exciting! That is why weight lifting is my favorite form of physical exercise

Another favorite hobby/lifestyle of mine is being out in nature. It’s not something I get to do all the time but I really enjoy setting and listening the the wind blow or the animals around me. I love going on walks or hikes around the area. Hikes don’t happen much for more with everyones schedules or my own, the hikes are fair and few between but hopefully it will change. My goal is to bring my kiddos with me and this is a goal I can have in winter here and carry over into next year too!!

What’s a good neighbor?

Daily writing prompt
What makes a good neighbor?

A good neighbor is someone who is there for you when you need help or have questions and you are there for them. I have wonderful neighbors and it took us awhile to actually see that because we were living in the my husbands fathers past. My father in law used to live on the property before we bought it from him and he had lived here for gosh 60 years, he has never lived anywhere else. He was born and raised in this house and had is own family here as-well. Of course over the years he has had some disagreements with the neighbors which I think can be normal but he never forgave it was always hanging on. When we moved in that knowledge had been passed down to us and to be honest I was annoyed with the neighbor for treating my father in law bad so many years ago. Which looking at it now is pretty silly. We really needed our neighbors this past my when our three heifers had broken out of the pasture and were on the lamb. Let me tell you, all of our neighbors (5 of them) helped us search for them and in the end we found them and they even helped us corral them into a trailer. It was a long exhausting day and after that day I make sure I wave to them ever chance I got and I’m even facebook friends with a few of them, I know. LOL.
