Win A $25 PayPal Or Amazon GC ~ Giveaway Ends 5-15

I am always SO thankful when Mama The Fox hosts a giveaway hop. She always draws a great group of bloggers that each promise to give away a prize valued of at least $10. I visit them all, so please, you visit them too. I want to win a giveaway as BAD as you do 🙂

Well, our last giveaway hop just ended and it is time for the new one to begin. Sometimes, as you all know, I’m so far behind that I can’t catch up. Well, I’m semi-caught up, mainly because I haven’t taken on as much. I’ve been busy with Gracie. Somebody remind me why I thought the toddler years would be the busy years???? I’ve been visiting with my Uncle a little bit more, which I DEARLY love. Guess what! I was able to meet an Aunt and cousin that I’ve never met this month. It’s been wonderful. Things with Michael are just about the same, he’s busy. That man STAYS busy. I don’t think he could make it if he wasn’t busy.

The weather has been beautiful in Arkansas. So, we, well I, have been driving around with my sunroof open. I can’t believe I had to be this age to get a sunroof. Gracie doesn’t want it open if she’s in the car. Here in Arkansas, we have bugs galore. Gracie can spot a bug a mile away. She can’t stand bugs and is scared that a bug will get inside the car OR a bird will POOP and it will land in the car.

Gracie and I’ve started a diet. I don’t think it’s good to tell teenagers that they need to lose weight. I like to talk about being healthy but losing weight for Gracie is directly related to her surgery that she just had. She understands that and I’m doing it with her. I’ve put one video on YouTube and I’ll try to put some more up. I’d love it if you’d follow us on Youtube and drop us comments if you feel like it. I’m trying to get more comfortable putting videos up. I’m not good in front of a camera. Any encouragement you all can give us would be appreciated. You can also e-mail us at sonyasparks@gmail.com .

Well, enough about us- Let’s get on to this giveaway hop, ok? I always give away the same prize, it seems. It is always either a $25 Amazon or PayPal gift card. The gift card will be sent in US$, I don’t know how that will convert to your currency. My giveaway is open worldwide as long as you have an account to the store you choose and I can send the gift card in US$. The winner must e-mail me back within 48 hours or I will have to choose a new winner. It is a rafflecopter giveaway so please give the form time to load. The giveaway will end on 5-15. Good luck to EVERYONE!

  65. I always hated asking my mom to use the car, between the 20 questions and the reminders. It was rough.

  71. I was never afraid to talk with my Mom or Dad – they were very good listeners and found ways to address my concerns and that of my siblings without embarrassing us or causing us to feel we should not talk things over with them.

  99. I was always terrified to ask my mom to go to birthday parties! Lol

  103. Sometimes I was scared to ask for certain things I wanted for birthdays, Christmas, etc, because money was tight. I had this notion (a child’s imagination) that if I asked for something and it was too much money, my parents would send me off or something!

  125. Mother May I… what was one thing you dreaded asking your Mother to do?

    to go out at night whit my friends because she worried to much

  126. I wasn’t afraid to ask anything. Mostly just silly kid fear of her saying no when I wanted to have a sleepover but she almost always said yes.

  129. I was 11 when I started my period- I didn’t have “THAT talk” until the day it happened. It was while I was in school. I freaked and I thought I was dying: Took 2 teachers and the school nurse to calm me down.
    Well, my aunt (who raised me) arrived within the hour to take me home- and gently broke the “good news” to me, which I was dreading. I got a happy meal and the next day off from school.

  131. I can’t remember being afraid to ask my Mom for anything. I might not have always liked her answer but she always listened and was there for me. Still is!

  133. Unfortunately I was scarred to ask my mom anything. Only to learn after I graduated that my mom was mentally unstable.

  134. I was always scared to ask my mom about things I was concerned about. But usually it turned out well.

  136. Honestly, I was never afraid to ask my momma for anything. She was always the one I could get help from no matter what. She was my biggest fan and had more faith in my abilities than I ever di.

  138. I would hesitate to ask her to go to concerts because sometimes she said no. I think I went to one in NJ as a teen without asking. . .hah

  143. I never really had to worry about asking my mother for anything. She was and always is there for us all.

  144. I always dreaded asking if my dad could come to the same events she did (they were divorced, so they didn’t get along too well).

  145. I was always afraid to ask for money to get clothes! she always insisted I wear my older sisters hand me downs, but I wanted new clothes.

  146. I hated asking for anything from my mom. Being raised by an abusive alcoholic “mother” whose favorite activity was bullying me at home, especially since she knew I was bullied at school … It took teachers donating clothes to me, for my mom to come out of her drunken stupor long enough, to see that the clothes she picked up at goodwill 3 years prior, were literally rags being held together with a few stitches. Then she would beat me black and blue for “embarrassing her”. I ran away at 13. Travelled the USA. Hitchhiking, walking, riding bicycles. No one cared. I was never reported missing. That’s life in a small town for you. A few years ago, I ran into a cousin, while she was happy to see me, I realized how backwoods my hometown really is and I thank God every day for escaping that nightmare. Oh and Yes, I am in therapy. Not all moms are good moms. I’m a great Mom!! Life is what you make it.

  147. I was always afraid to ask my mother to go stay the night at a friends house. She usually said no

  149. I was always afraid to ask my Mom for just about anything, she always said no.

  151. Dreaded asking for anything. My mom would take money from me that I made working Summer jobs from the time I was 10 & give it to my older sister so she would have to work and could get whatever ever she wanted or needed. They NEVER made her work

  152. I never really dreaded asking her for anything, my mom was always nice even when she would say no to me lol

  153. I really don’t remember anything that I was afraid to ask my mother. Of course, that would be 60 years ago so my memory might not be sharp about that.
    Thanks for the contest.

  156. I wasn’t really afraid to ask my mom anything, maybe about sex when I had questions. It is a shame too because my mom was nonchalant and just answered the questions I did ask.

  157. I never really dreaded asking my mom for anything. She wasn’t too strict.

  159. I was always afraid to ask for money for lunch as I knew they didn’t have much money.

  163. I hated asking for new clothes and shoes as I outgrew them. My mom worked 2 jobs to support my sister and I and was constantly telling us how little money she had. I felt so guilty asking yet I also hated being teased at school when my jeans were too short, etc. Sigh…. memories! At least I learned what NOT to do with my son!

  167. I was always afraid of asking to go to sleep overs. Mainly because we lived so far out in the country and at the time I never understood what sacrifice putting gas in the car was.

  171. I was always afraid to ask to spend the night at a friend’s house or to have a friend over because I was afraid the answer would be no.

  173. I was scared to ask my mom if friends could stay the night. She didn’t like company.

  174. Always dreaded to ask for spending money.. like if she forgot the allowance, etc.

  178. I was always afraid to ask for money for school things as Mom would always tell me to go ask Dad, money was tight with 10 kids

  179. I guess I have to say asking for money since money was always tight.

  182. I don’t know… I can honestly not think of anything… maybe just anything that required money as it wasn’t usually readily available…

  183. I was always afraid to ask her to french braid my hair, because it meant I woke her up early. She was real grumpy when that happened!

  184. Money was so tight when we were kids and I hated asking for even the smallest amount for a play or activity at school.

  185. I was always scared to ask if I could stay overnight at a friend’s house.

  186. I don’t think I was scared to ask most things. Maybe it was if I could stay home from school sometimes when I wasn’t sick.

  187. I was never really afraid to ask for things. Not that i always got what i was asking for.

  189. I wasn’t too good at asking for money from her or my dad. I know things weren’t always easy and they both worked so I hated to ask them for money for things.

  191. I can’t say I was really scared to ask my mom anything. We’d always had a pretty open relationship and friendship. I guess if I had to choose something, I would say asking her to sign a paper that my teacher said I was misbehaving.
