2020 has been a stressful and crazy year.. Don’t ya agree? Well this is the year I told myself to get out of my comfort zone and do something different, something new, something exciting. That’s when I came across the gourdys pumpkin run. It took me awhile to actually get the courage to sign up. I was excited and nervous at the same time as I went through and filled In the blanks to there questions. I knew it wouldn’t be a easy road ahead of me but it was the road I was willing to take and risk. I was sore for a while, I was having people tell me I’m crazy for running in the hot summer heat. But I needed to be prepared. The more I did the more proud I was of myself. And I haven’t been too proud of myself in the past few years. Today October 4, 202 at 7:40am, after a 8 HR overnight shift, I accomplished my goal to run my first 5K. Extremely proud of myself and so happy I came across this opportunity!
Preheat oven to 350. Mix all ingredients together . Use a none stick pizza pan/cookie sheet( if you don’t have one spray pan), shape the mixture into a circle with it about 1/2 inch tall. Cook for about 18-20 minutes. I flipped mine half way through just so I knew it was done.
Then add whatever sauces, cheeses, topping you want (:
Pop back into the oven for 10 minutes to melt cheese!

In central NY, we aren’t. 😒 which sucks because my 2 year loves them almost more than she loves chocolate milk… Just kidding chocolate milk can not even compare… I mean its chocolate milk .. Come on..
Anyways!!
So a little bit about me..
I work overnights (only 3 days a week and that’s ENOUGH for me!) Taking care of the terminally ill( not covid people because I can’t risk it with my baby). I do 11pm-7am and don’t get home until like 7:25. So I usually get a total of maybe 3 hours of sleep each time.
Well because stuff is opening again I took back my babysitting job- which is great because it gives my 2 year old someone to play with around her age.
Well I’m exhausted today.. And yes its 4th of July .. So go to cook outs or have a cook out right..
Am I selfish to want my own cookout, even if no one is coming, so maybe today I can take a little nap before work?
‘Mind you .. That last night we went to meet the fiances family at a ice cream shop to have ice cream until 9:30pm ! So by the time we got back home I gave the baby a bath and laid her down for night night and out the door I go..💤💤💤 so no nap !
Now if you even worked overnights , even for one night.. You know how it messes up your schedule/day/ life. So you know how crucial a nap is!
Well…
My fiances family invited us over for a cookout today and I really don’t want to go… But my 23 year old man child threw a fit because id rather take a nap before work, because I’m taking care of people and cleaning ass all night long, than go to a cookout.
Instantly I was the “bad guy“! I was selfish and everything else because I didn’t want to go. First off they never invite us to anything and secondly I don’t fit in..
But..
I know I’m going to marry him so I have to be involved in his family too.
He did play that card..” If it was your family you would go”. If that’s the case then I would be going to my own family’s cook out ..right?
Well back in February I seen this girl I went to high school with was making this cool tumbler cups.
I was amazed but how many ideas there was to make these tumblers a d I could not stop thinking about it.
I was about to get my tax refund back and I thought long and hard about getting all the materials I would need to start my so called “business”.
After spending $450 later I started my business that is now called Sahara Crafts.
I do it at my own pace and its a HUGE stress reliever! I can get into the zone and the fiance keeps the baby busy so momma can have some time to herself for herself…
Now if you’re a momma, you definitely know how hard that is!
Sorry I’m kind of ranting but
The moral of this story is…
Be spontaneous and get out of your comfort zone ! You might actually become enjoy with you’re new obsession!😜
Since I have a little 3 month old I decided one day out of the blue that I was going to do Easter pictures for everyone!
I go to the store later that week b poo ight a bunch of plastic Easter eggs, and a stuffed Easter bunny that said 2018 on its paw.
I was so excited to do these pictures.
The next morning we woke up, I got my little Peter cotton tail ready for these pictures, all in pastel colors that look like Easter colors because of course I forgot to get a dress.
She looked at me in shock when I set her in my laundry basket with a pillow under her body and I started pouring the little plastic eggs all over her.
I quickly put on purple bunny ears on her too tiny of a head and started snapping pictures!
After about 4 pictures she caught on to what was going on and every time I called her name she would look away! Smart little girl!
I changed her position to laying in a blanket on the floor with the eggs .. She still ignored me.
I NEEDED HELP!
Ah ha!
She loves her singing puppy she got for christmas!
I finally got another smile after taking 30 pictures!
I clearly was having my fun than she was!😂
But still not as fun as my cat was ! He kept coming in to steal a colorful egg to pat around the house!
Anyways the moral of the story..
If you have a photographer as a mother or father .. This will happen often and yes they will always have more fun than you even if they are only behind the camera. Pictures taken are memories that can’t be changed or altered.. They are forever frozen into a perfect memory!
On December 3rd, at 10:11 am I gave birth to a beautiful babygirl! This by far was the best day of my life! I honestly had a easy labor! I went into the hospital at 1:30am. Contractions were about 3 to 5 minutes apart. Being a first time mother I didn’t even know I was having contractions until they started getting closer. My boyfriend was terrified but never left my side for a second. He was so excited to meet his baby girl! She is the best thing to happen to us!❤
Now it’s a little over two months since our beautiful girl has been in our lives and we are so grateful. She is already in 3 month clothes because she’s growing so fast! She smiles and goos at us. She watched cartoons or whatever we have on television. She eats every 3 hours now! I can’t believe how fast time is going!
I always hear pregnant woman say “is this pregnancy over yet?” or “can he/she just come out already?”. I honestly never understood why they would say that…
Until now..
I’m 33 weeks pregnant and for weeks now I have been so sore and achy. I don’t walk as fast as I used to. I woddle. My shirts won’t fit over my belly so I have to keep pulling them down. Walking around campus is the worst thing ever.
I have 7 weeks left but im praying she comes a little bit earlier than her due date!
