Day 9 — A photo you tookThis challenge today is easy but hard. The question I have...what picture do I use? I know exactly which one I am going to choose, it is the one that brings back so many emotions....This is the last picture I took before I went to the hospital to have the boy. I had so many emotions, scared, excited, nervous. I knew that this is the last picture I was going to take before m
Day 8 — A thank you letter to someone who's changed your life Dear Grandpa,I know you have been gone for awhile but I want to tell you how much you taught me and how much you changed my life. You taught me all my life to be myself no matter what. To be proud of who I am and who my family was. You taught me to love myself no matter if someone else doesn't. I just want to thank you.I know I hav
Day 6 — A moment you wish you could reliveI admit, I got lazy, but I am going to post this post today so I do not get behind, and of course the most important part, missing a day on this lovely challenge. I moment I wish I could relive. This is a hard one because I do not regret in my life...nothing in my life I regret. So...there goes things I could write about. I would have to say the birth of m
Day 7 — 5 things you could not possibly live withoutOkay, I know everyone is going to say their husband, kids, family, blah blah blah. Of course I can't live without them, so this is going to be 5 things besides loved ones that I can not live without. I just figure it is easier that way I can put more stuff on my list that I use daily, and then my readers can get to know me better.I am going to co
Day 5 — A favorite quote~*~All beings tremble before violence. All fear death, all love life. See yourself in others. Then whom can you hurt? What harm can you do?~*~ - Buddha
Day 4 — A favorite television programI am late on this one today....but better late then never, right? Well I would have to say my favorite television program at the moment would have to be "Big Brother." I am a huge reality tv junkie, I watch as many as I can, and I love it. Thank goodness for DVR, that is all I have to say. Big Brother has been my favorite show of the summer since season one. H
My question of the day on this Friday...Do men not listen on purpose or are they just that dumb? I mean seriously! Last night I asked my hubby to do one thing...call Comcast and get the amount due on our bill. The only thing he has to pay every month is the cell phone bill, he doesn't have to pay it, but all it requires is a text message so he just does it. That's it! I take care of everything els
What is your favorite book?This was a hard question to answer because there are so many good books that I have read. I really did think about this all night because I didn't want to give credit to a book/author that wasn't in my eyes "the best." I had to go to my first choice, this is an author that when someones asks me about a book, I know I can always recommend this series and I feel that I did
Challenge Day 2: Favorite MovieThis is a hard one for me because I am not a movie person. I mean, I watch them but I am picky. I love lifetime movies. I know, I know, some people laugh at that. I could spend a whole day curled up on the couch watching good lifetime movies. I don't like the "love" ones, I like the ones with a lot of drama. What is my favorite Life Time movie? I would have to say th
I decided to take Susie B. Homemaker's 30 day blog challenge! Day 1- Favorite Song...This is easy for me! My all time favorite song is Selena "Dreaming of You." I have always loved this song, it reminded me of all the nights staying up talking to Andrew and then finally him being all mine! We danced to it at our wedding, I get chill bumps every time I listen to it! Enjoy!
I need to share this story from yesterday. I wanted to write about it as soon as I got in the door but life stopped me. It was just one of those days yesterday and I was not having it....let me just say, I hate being a women once a month. Enough said.I needed to get out of the house yesterday after the hubby got home. He told me our SUV needed gas so I volunteered to go out and get it so he wouldn
I have been reading a lot of different mommy blogs lately. I have noticed a trend in them, they offer links to different giveaways. I have never linked anything from my blog because I thought it was impersonal and I didn't want to ruin my blog...but it seems like the thing to do. What is everyone's feelings about this? I am new to this blog thing...are giveaways good? How do I get started with tha
If I could pick the one thing I hate the most about people, it is when they assume when you talk about something that you are mad, or jealous, or anything in between. It is completely not true. When I talk about something and I say I am not mad, I really am not mad...jealous, or anything of that nature.Such as people being bitches and not inviting us somewhere. I personally get happy when people l
As I have posted in the past I am all about breast feeding, I think it is a wonderful gift we have as women to be able to feed our babies naturally. I did it for 4 days, then my son was not getting enough milk, I was miserable from my c-section, I made the choice to go with formula. My son was happy, I never had to complain about him waking up in the middle of the night because he went to bed happ
I don't think that people understand that being a stay at home mom is so much more then just staying at home with your little one(s). We are a 24/hour 7/day a week teacher to them. They watch everything we do. For instance, I call my husband anything but his name, and on this blog...some things I shouldn't, but around the house it is mostly "baby" or "babe." It is just a habit...believe me I don't
I just love Mondays...waking up and coming downstairs to the kitchen a mess from the weekend, the living room a disaster...and me left alone with the child. Hmmm...I wonder who is to clean up the mess from the weekend? You guessed it! ME! I never thought in a million years being a stay at home mom would be like this. I guess I shouldn't complain, it is my job. I just wish for a few days my lovely
Okay, so I wrote last week how I put on my big girl panties and took back the netbook I bought. I still thing that was the best decision I have made in a long time. It was so not worth my money. Well, now I am back to using my Sony Vaio VGN-CS215J. Don't get me wrong, I love this laptop...but the thing has a mind of its own. It shuts down for no reason at all. Every time I post on a form about it,
There are soo many things I never thought that I would have to tell my toddler. I say things that are just so random all day, and then I giggle to myself and have to remind myself that he is a boy and it is just going to get worse.He is figuring out that he can play with his...ummm..."DD." His hand is down his diaper when he is watching tv...(think al bundy.) It really drives me insane, I do not k
So its guys night out for my hubby. His friends get together once a month, it started out where they would watch the WWE Pay-per-views. They still get the pay-per-views each month but now I think it is more of just an excuse to get together, just the guys. Fine with me, I can use the night to myself. Oh wait, its not a night to myself, it is just like every freakin' other day. I shouldn't say that
Loving your family is one thing, but telling the world so much on your facebook is another. Seriously, some peoples status messages make me gag. Of course, I am sure I have some that make people want to gag, but I would like to think I have more funny ones rather then "trying to convince myself I have a happy family by telling the world everyday" type messages.It is cute to sometimes post about ho
Is it wrong to sometimes want to bang your head against the wall when your child is having a melt down? I seriously am to that point with my son today. It's not that he is getting on my nerves, it is just the screaming and carrying on for no reason. I understand he missing daddy, but he is too young to understand that daddy needs to go to work to make the money.My son is at the age where he says h
Becoming a mother changes someone so much. I knew this happened, but I didn't know that it happened to the extent of what has happened to me. I always wanted children, I knew it would happen one day but I was also the type that didn't like other peoples children. I hated when they got in my way at the store, everything you can imagine I hated. All my friends could never imagine me with kids. One o
Yesterday I got into a tweet argument that I knew I had to turn into a blog post because I was outraged yesterday. I actually wanted to post this blog as soon as it happened but I know it would not come out nice since I was heated. (lol)I was going through my tweets yesterday and a friend of mine from my High School days retweeted this...AMEN!!! ---> “@Dxxxxxx82: Dear parents of screaming kids:
There are many things that bother, especially other people. If there is one thing that I can not stand is people that can't mind their business or give me advice that I do not want to hear. You can talk to me until you are blue in the face but I am not going to change my ways for anyone. I might think about your advice, but I am still going to do what I want to do...especially when it comes to my
I had a compete adult break through today. It doesn't happen often so when it does I get very proud of myself. Well, I bought that very cute net-book a week ago...remember the cute pink plaid one. Ya, well I took it back today! I had 14 days to return the item and I did it. The grand total for that cute little thing was $405! Seriously! The more I used it and the more I thought about it, it just w
There is one thing that makes me laugh, when someone has a child they think is going through the "terrible 2's" when their child is not even 2 yet. I was one of those parents, and right now I would kill to have my child back in that stage. I thought things could only get better that the temper tantrums at 1 1/2 were as bad as they were going to get. What the ***** was I smoking? We are at the stag
Last night was so cute! I was down stairs doing homework, I ran up to go to the bathroom and Xavier met me at the door with his blankie and pillow...it was midnight but he wanted to come downstairs with me. I told him as long as he laid on the couch and watched some TV he could come down with me. I made him a comfy little bed on the couch and I continued to do homework...then I got an idea! (Yea h
I have always said before I had children, I would never leash my child. Seriously, I wanted to strangle the person that even came up with the idea. I still to this day can not see the point in them. Over the years I have been a member of the best mommy community on the web, and of course there has been many debates over this and some people bring up some good arguments over everything, but I have
If I had to pick one word that I thought was the worst word in the world it would have to be "shut-up." I hate it, I can not stand when someone says it to me and I can not stand saying it to someone else. I promised myself when I had a child I would not be one of those parents that said this to their kids. Why? It is simple, I do not what my kid to turn around and say it to me. I honestly can't st
Like my new netbook? I am on love, thanks to my wonderful husband! I think he honestly got tired of me bitching about how much I hated my Sony Vaio laptop. I would never suggest a Sony laptop to anyone. I had mine for 2 years, which I do not think is a long time at all for something you pay close to $1000 for. Anyway, the thing would just shut off whenever it felt like it, the keys were falling of
I love saying up late at night to get things done around the house, and more importantly my homework...but let me tell you it is killing me. I am on such a weird schedule that I really need to break. I need to start getting to be earlier and getting up earlier and doing my homework then...but it is just not happening. I do not know how to get on that schedule when I am really enjoying staying up a
I have been "reasoning" with Xavier lately, but its almost along the line of bribing. I do not want to be a parent that has to bribe their kid to do things, but I also want to be able to reward him for good behavior.Today Xavier found a lollipop in his bag as I was making breakfast. I came out and he threw a fit because he wanted his "pop" and I told him he had to eat his toast. This went on and o
Well, I am officially obsessed with Big Brother 12. Yes, I stay up til around 3:30am every night watching these boring house guest. (Thanks to my daddy for buying me the feeds.) I figure this is once a year that I look forward to this show so I am going to take full advantage of watching. I will just deal with being tired all damn day!I only have a minute before nap time but I wanted to write down
There are 6 things in the world that makes me cringe every time I have to purchase them. Seriously, I hate hate hate spending money on these things, I would do anything if I never had to spend our hard earned money on them again!6. Toilet Paper- This in life should just be free. This house goes through rolls and rolls of this stuff I wonder how much money in a lifetime is wiped with ***** and flus
I made it to the grocery store last night! I honestly do not know how I did it, I was so tired, and I still am, but I seem to still be staying up as late as possible to get homework done. Okay, maybe I shouldn't blame it all on homework, I have this time obsession with the television show "Big Brother" and I was up til 1am, 2am, okay seriously 3am last night. They were not even interesting in the
I seriously have been slacking on the blogging. I want to know, where does everyone find time to blog? Do you make time? Maybe I should set aside a certain time to blog...I do not know yet. I love it, it is my outlet...I just don't know when to always sit down and do it.Last night I was up til after 2:30am taking notes for school and I am still not done. I seriously am driving myself crazy. Also,
CLICK HERE TO LISTEN TO THIS WOMEN TALK SO RUDELY ABOUT BREAST FEEDING.I admit, I only breast fed Xavier for 4-5 days. I tried, I really did give it my best but I just couldn't get the hang of it, Xavier wasn't getting enough food, and I gave up. I really wish I would not of gave up, but I did what was best for me and him, and he is a healthy little boy that has never even had an ear infection, so
*breath in....breath out.....* I can finally do this. My period was over a week late! Do you know how flipping scared I was this past week! I couldn't even bring myself to blog because I didn't want to blog about being late and everyone think I was pregnant, and then it get back to my family. I knew deep down there was no way I was pregnant, but let me tell you, when that period doesn't come, you
I have no updated in a few days. Life got ahead of me this week. I have been super busy with school and I also had another appointment with my surgeon on Wednesday. This whole 6 month prep for my surgery is going super duper fast and I am actually starting to get a bit nervous. I made my appointment for my sleep apnea test, which is Saturday July 24th. This is totally going to be an experience! Se
I really should hold a "pregnancy prevention" class in my house. I swear to goodness if a group of young girls came and followed me around for a day they would choose not to have sex until they are married, or even later then that! I wish they could just watch me as I try to take notes for school, and even study. I am actually learning how to take notes with a toddler crawling all over me. I have
I am annoyed but I do not know how to address the situation when it happens. This past weekend I had to go to a baby shower. Of course no one really likes going to those things, but you go to see people and socialize. I didn't bring Xavier because I really just wanted to get in there and get out...and I didn't feel like chasing after a toddler the whole time. Well, a certain family member just thi
My 2 year old has a new obsession...coloring. It's fine, he scribbles with his crayons on all the paper that I give him then brings everyone pictures to hang up. He brings them to the grandma's, aunts, and anyone that will take one. He gets so proud. I have to say I am proud of him, he has only colored on the walls once and its nothing my magic eraser cant handle. (gosh i love that thing) Well, hi
I swear sometimes men think only of themselves. Don't get me wrong, women do this too, but men just seem to do it more often. I am PMS'ing this week really bad and everything is bothering me. This one thing happened tonight that really bothered me and I have to write about it before I go to sleep just to feel better. I do all the housework all day, I even made dinner tonight that was good...and I
I woke up this morning completely wide awake and ready for the day. I came downstairs and I am ready to clean my little big heart out. My goal for today...get the house clean and have dinner waiting for Andrew when he gets home. I know, what the ***** has got into me? Ya, I am wondering the same thing, but I have really been slacking in the whole housewife department so I thought I better get my b
Oh it has been a busy few days. Let me start by saying this...if my laptop ever dies I think I am going to die right along with it. Yesterday was the most tramatic day of my life. I go to plug in my iPhone to download the new update for....and my computer goes popup crazy. I don't know how I got a virus...I do not download anything....but I got one. I went into this rage. I thought my world was co
Please please please no more Caillou. I can not take it anymore, it is like a form of torture. We watch Caillou from the time we get up in the morning until we go to sleep. There are only like 6 shows On Demand and all the boy wants to do is watch them over and over. If I tell him "no" or "it's mommies turn" he screams and screams, and I just can not take the screaming so I give in. I do not know
I seriously do not know what kind of timing men are on. I really do not understand what goes through their heads and why they pick the times to do things. How do you decide to clean out the closet that has needed to be done as soon as I finish cleaning the living room? (The closet is right next to the living room) Why do you decide to rearrange the bedroom on a day that I say I have a lot of schoo
Hey ladies! I was invited to try out an awesome site and I just have to share it with everyone. I am not one to advertise anything on my blog, I want it to be more of a personal blog, but when I find something good, I share...and this is something fun and good. Lookville is a site that I got invited to join and it is where you post pictures of outfits that you might have in your closet that you ha
As I sit here on my second bottle of bottled water catching up on classwork for the week, I thought I would check in and blog. My party went wonderful today. I was so excited that everything turned out good. Everyone had a lot of fun and I think I made a lot of sales. I will know tomorrow how much I can spend, I can not wait because I want to start shopping. I am just happy everyone had fun...I di
You know you are getting old when things like a new refrigerator gets you all warm and snuggly inside! Since we rent, we had to tell our landlord that we needed a new one, and we got it today, and I am really excited about the whole thing. I got to organize it when they left the way I wanted, its all glass inside...let me show it off. Hahaha.How exciting is that! Sorry, I just love new things. Thi
