A choked up kinda day

I thought today was going pretty good until I got in the car to go pick up Kyndra from the sitter's. Wouldn't you know that More Beautiful You came on so I sang along with Carleigh's version of the song. Of course, I couldn't make it completely through the song and the last line of the bridge always gets me. I choked down a sob as I felt the tears start to fill my eyes, but they didn't fall. At least not this time. Gosh, things just hit you all of a sudden and try to knock you down.

I watched a video of Mandisa's He Is With You at HappyascanB. I've never heard this song before and wow is it good. I had to choke back another sob when I heard the line "He is with you when your baby's gone". I want to share this video with the rest of you but not with the intention of making you cry but because it is a good song.

There were a couple other things that I choked up about but I'll just leave them be.

On a different note, I've gotten a couple blog awards lately. Thank you to everyone who thought of me and to those who have given me awards before but I never posted. I appreciate them all! I don't really post these but since I got so many in such a short period of time I thought what the heck! So here they are:

I got the Friend Award and A Lovely Blog Award from Karen @ On Having Faith.

The next award is the Honest Scrap award. I received this award from Peyton's Mommy @ Once A Mother, Lauren @ LaurensBlog.greenfamily.net, and Franchesca @ Handprints from Heaven. (Did I miss anybody? Sorry if I did!)

I am supposed to share 10 honest things about me that you might not have known before. Well, I got this award not too long ago and posted it on my family blog so if you want to know some more about me you can read there because I honestly don't feel like trying to come up with something new or even thinking of blogs to pass these awards on to. Even that is just too much work for me right now at this moment. I'm tired and I'm going to bed. (I don't think I even passed it on on my family blog. But that was out of sheer laziness. Oh well. Whatta ya gonna do?)

*Edit* 9/2/09

I'm feeling up to it now so I thought I'd share a few honest things about me. They may or may not be new to you. Maybe I can come up with 10.

1) I've only painted my nails a couple times in my life. I didn't even do them for my wedding. I just prefer them plain.

2) I love my job and while I love being a mommy more, I don't think I could ever be a SAHM. Part time would be perfect.

3) I hardly ever make our bed. I get up several hours before Anthony and I know he isn't going to make the bed. Sometimes though he does pull up the comforter to make it a little neater.

4) You know the person that seems to know everything and has a bunch of useless knowledge? Yeah, that's me.

5) I wash my hands and use hand sanitizer like a million times each day (slight exaggeration). Not because I'm a germaphobe but because I work in healthcare.

6) I love helping others. I wish that I could always do more.

7) I'm a Twilight addict and it has led into liking other vampire stories too.

Well, there's 7. I guess that's good.
