3 Fears

So way back in February I had a post about 30 things I want my kids to know about me and I had set a goal for myself to complete it by the end of 2013. I don't think that is a reality, but I still want to do it, so I am going to answer the 2nd question now.

The second question or statement is to list your 3 legitimate fears and why they are fears.

1. I have a fear of my loved ones dying unexpectedly.. I think this became a fear for me when my grandma died when I was 7. She passed away in her sleep and after that happened I thought every old person was going to die in their sleep. It took me a long time to get over and then my grandpa and uncle passed away with in 6 weeks of each other unexpectedly and so my fear of loved ones dying unexpectedly has continued.

2. I have a fear of failure. I am not sure where this comes from or why, but I always want to be the best and I do not want to fail at pretty much anything. I guess that goes with why I have anxiety and like to be in control and what not.

3. My third fear is of needles or my blood being drawn. I always get light headed and feel like fainting. It doesn't matter if it is a flu shot or what, but ugh, it makes me squirm just thinking about it.

Happy Halloween 2013

"It's time for a checkup"! Yes, Nora and Stella were themed again this year and their theme was from a show called DocMcstuffins. It is a really cute show on Disney Jr. and the little girl plays doctor to her stuffed animals and they come alive. So Nora was the doc and Stella was her favorite stuffed animal, Lambie. Unfortunately it was a very rainy and yucky night here in St. Louis ;( And Jalen scared Stella when he put his whole costume on and she cried the whole time she tried to trick or treat (which was for only 5 houses). Poor baby!! So daddy took her back and Nora and I continued on with the bigger kids. Nora lasted about 3 blocks and then wanted to go back and play with the Kountzman's play house that they have at their house. She was not all about getting candy. I was completely fine with that. We didn't see Jalen the rest of the night. We left before he came back, so I am sure he made a haul!!! Overall, we had another fun Halloween!
