Holy Moly, what a week/weekend. I did an interview with Fox 45 last Tuesday that should be airing sometime this week. It went really well, I was VERY nervous, to the point of almost pooping myself, but I made it through. It's so easy for me to sing, dance, and talk in front of little people, but put me in front of a camera and adults and I go speechless.
Laney and I did the 5 mile Turkey Trot. She did amazing, we hardly stopped and she puked at the finish line. I know this may seem horrible to some of you, but to a runner it means to did all you could do...and she did. She has been begging to run it with me for a year, it was special to share this with her. She is a special little girl. Her heart is huge, her laugh is contagious, and she is beautiful inside and out. After the Trot, we ate and did absolutely nothing....it was perfect.
Then it was Friday. Laney was a trooper, and I was a nervous pooper, as we headed to the News Station to do a LIVE interview. For those who know me, and know me well, know that maybe LIVE isn't the best idea...hee hee! Just kidding, I can have a potty mouth at times, but I know when and where to use it....mostly. The interview went great. I almost had a nervous laughter attack while Cinderella was discussing Prince Charming, but I held it together. It was quick and painless, and it was again another experience I will cherish spending with Laney.
Next was Saturday, the big kick off at the Dayton Mall, with the Dance. It was spectacular. I am really trying to take all this in and realize how great of an experience this is for me and for Snuggled Up. I'm busy and run ragged, but I am taking time, like right now, to really breathe and know this is for real. This is happening. People are coming together to support the cause that is so close to my heart. My family was there to share this special day with me. My friends came to cheer me on. My own children danced and frolicked with the Princesses as I watched and began to dream up the next chapter for Snuggled Up. This is the beginning. I have been in the start up phase for 4 years. Now I'm up and rolling and there is no limit to what I can do. I believe I can help a lot of children. My dream is to get Snuggled Up in hospitals, children services, and in the schools. I've got this in me....I just need to remember to take a breath, and be thankful for my blessings, and just be still.
Sunday was a baby shower for my newest niece or nephew. My brother and his wife will be welcoming their little on the end of January! We had a great time eating, laughing, and eating baby food from a pouch.....Little one will be here soon....prayers to him or her a safe journey into our crazy world. (I think its a boy.)
Well this was short and brief....I am not even going back to re-read or edit this post....because if it has flaws, then its perfect, because in reality even perfection has its flaws. I tried to post pictures and it was a failure and I'm too tired to care...so maybe next time:)
My laugh for the day......Our Elf, Ed came by and hung all our underwear on our stockings....even my thong and Tinley's diaper, the kiddos laughing made me laugh....its the little things people, the little things.
Hoping your night is cuddles and snuggles,
Trisha
