The Peachy Magnolia

Yep, it's that time of year again. That time of year where just about everyone you know has some sort of illness. Whether it be a little cold, the flu, or my personal least favorite: the tummy bug. It seems like everyone is coming down with something. Including my own family...Yes, we've had a bug come to our house. Luckily, it's not the dreaded tummy bug, but I've still had to deal with my mortal enemy: Vomit. Mostly, it's been fever, sore throat, runny nose, and coughing so much that it triggers the gag reflex thus creating vomit. I have to say that I've done absolutely amazing when dealing with it. I guess knowing that I can't catch it really helps. Anyway, my little sister is getting over it, but now my mom has it. Just the fever and sore throat though. Oh, and lots of muscle aches. I have no proof, but I have a feeling it's the flu. My little sister didn't get tested for it when she went to the doctor, however, she did get tested for strep throa...

   I'm guess I'm going to be blunt about this. I try my very best not to be annoying. I really do! Of course, my anxiety tells me that no matter what I do, I'll always be annoying and you know what that just might be true! I mean, I know that I can be annoying sometimes ( if not all the time) but I going to be honest...at this point, I really don't care. I know I post a lot about being single and about my future husband on Facebook, but that's because I'm really self-conscious about not having a boyfriend right now. However, when I post something funny about not having a boyfriend or something about my future husband...I'm not trying to be annoying...Really, I'm not! I'm just trying to stay positive about the whole thing. Seeing all of my friends that are the same age as me and all of their selfies with their boyfriend/girlfriend just makes me feel left out. Don't get me wrong, though, I'm really happy for them! I just wish I had som...

Yep, it's November 1st! This day used to be my least favorite day of the year because it officially meant that Halloween was over. Now, I've come up with a new November 1st tradition that I started last year...I watch Christmas movies all day! I helps ease my sadness over Halloween ending and puts me in the Christmas spirit so it's a win-win!  However, I did promise some Halloween pics yesterday so here they are!                                                                         I was Cleopatra! :)                                             I know this is a pretty bad picture, but it was the                          ...

For those of you who know me personally, already know that Halloween is my favorite holiday! So, you can probably guess that I'm extremely excited about today! Anyway, I hope you all have a great one and please stay safe out there! I'll post pics of our Halloween party either later tonight or tomorrow so stay tuned for that! :)

October has been a hectic month! Some things I expected to happen and others, I did not. On October 1st, I was informed that my grandmother had passed away. Of course, I was devastated. It was also upsetting to know that I wouldn't make it to the funeral considering that my sister was 9 months pregnant at the time and the funeral was two states away. Then, a week later, we had to deal with *shudders* puke. Yuck! Yep, my little sister decided to get sick, but (Thank God!) she only did it one time. My mom actually thinks she just ate something bad so it wasn't contagious. Finally, a rainbow after nothing but storms! On the morning of October 11th, (Her due date.) my sister went into labor! Luckily, her labor was super fast and we got to meet him way sooner than we thought we would! I have to say...he is the cutest thing on the face of the earth! I can literally hold him all day long and never get tired of it! It makes me (kind of) want my own. I would love to post pictures ...

It's been quite a crazy week! It all started Sunday when my little sister woke up struggling to breathe at about 3 in the morning. We already knew she had a cold, but we weren't expecting it to get that bad. At one point, her lips started turning blue so we immediately knew that she needed to go to the hospital. I had to be the one to sit in the backseat on the way there while my mom drove. Of course, I really didn't want to be the one to go to the hospital considering hospitals= sick people = a lot of vomit = an emetophobe's worst nightmare. However, I was way more worried about my little sister. It was so horrible to see her like that. I remember praying and holding her hand the entire ride there. It was definitely one of the scariest moments of my life.  Thankfully, there was no one in the waiting room so we got to go in the back immediately after arriving. She had a breathing treatment done so she seemed to be doing much better and we were actually getting r...

Okay...I'm just going to go ahead and warn you that this is going to be a very emotional post so beware! I'm posting this in honor of Suicide Prevention Week and I'm hoping to spread awareness on this issue. I have a feeling that people might not look at me the same after they read all of this, but this is a part of my life story and I want to give others hope. I saw something on Facebook and I decided to share it then suddenly it hit me like a ton of bricks. I remembered all of those times I thought about or even attempted suicide and I started to think about all of the reasons why I wanted to keep living. The number 1 reason why I kept living was just thinking about the aftermath. I didn't want my mom or older sister to come into my room and find my lifeless body. I didn't want my little sister or nephew to ask where their "May-May" was. I didn't want my friends and family to wonder what else they could have possibly done to prevent this from hap...
