2012 Tears and Cheers/ Also the A-Z Fun thing

Hello Everyone! Sorry it has been awhile since my last post....the holidays always get me all wrapped up and I never get things done in a timely fashion. Which is why I've spent most of this morning cleaning up and trying to make my house liveable again. However I am back again today with my Tears and Cheers of 2012....a look back on the year and the events that took place. Also I am stealing the...

Baby Oh Baby

First off….I can hardly talk about what happened on Friday. I work for a school district and I can tell you…it broke our hearts and terrified us…our worst fear come to life I can tell you. I was glued to the broadcast all day while praying for those in Sandy Hook and counting my blessings that our children here were safe. As a mommy to be I can tell you I felt like my heart shattered at the news…I...

Thoughtful Thursday

This week in Baby Bump Central: There is a bump! I have now noticed a little firm bump developing! When I suck in my stomach (which if I slouch looks like I am already like five months pregnant…) there is a little bump that does not go in! Progress! I noticed it in the mirror this morning while attempting to find something to wear. I seriously need to get some clothes. I threw out all my fat clothes...

Incubus of Viral Plague

That is me today. I have caught whatever it is that everyone has caught. I am a sickly mess and feel like crap and am seriously considering putting my dogs out on the curb for adoption if they don't stop fighting with one another and leave mommy alone to sleep and rest and attempt to feel better. I would give anything to be able to breathe right now. I had a post from yesterday that apparently I...

Observations

Here is a little run down of observations that I have come across this week:   1.       Apparently Kate Middleton and I are both 12 weeks along in our pregnancies. Only she is currently in the hospital with severe morning sickness….I am just sitting at work and running to the bathroom every couple minutes to dry heave or enjoy that lovely yellow bile that I...

A Fresh Baked Batch

So I am seriously on the border line here. My sanity feels like it has slipped away and the threat of tears is at level ten. Also I managed to misspell almost every word so far in this blog as I type and that means that my pregnancy brain is in full effect.    My hormones are out of control.   Not to be dramatic but I have never been this way before. Even in the really dark...

Dear Baby....

I thought I would try out a little posting segment here on the blog....I have always kept a journal, either filling it with personal things or filling it with stories that I come up with daily. Since I found out I was pregnant I have been keeping a journal of things that I think and things going on with the baby in the form of letters to the baby....I thought it might be fun to share a few of the...

New New New

So after six years of using the same crappy laptop my husband and I decided that this Christmas we would get a new one. It arrived yesterday. I love it. It has a huge screen and I can see EVERYTHING. I finally got the chance to mess around with apps and my blog finally got the changes that I have been wanting to make for months now. It finally is starting to look like a real blog! I love my new...

Things I am not good at....

- art of any type....(no drawing, painting, sketching, sculpting...) - Doing one thing at a time - Being Patient - Posting Blog comments, I never feel I have much to say...or I debate over something until I am just too frustrated to post anything! - Paying attention to something I find dull....like boring meetings -Not daydreaming while my husband tries to explains guy movies to me...I wander...

Q&A and Dr. Appt. Update:

So today we had our Doctor’s appointment and my husband went with me so we could hear the baby’s heartbeat together. I thought I was going to have an ultrasound this time but apparently my doctor won’t do one until I am further along….like at 19 weeks! So I was a little bummed we didn’t get to see the little one yet but we did hear a very fast heartbeat after the doctor got done chasing the little...

Holiday recap

Welcome back from the Happy Holiday! Well apparently for some people it was a stress induced madhouse which I can relate to as most of my holidays are that way. Holly’s description of an OCD mom wanting to make everything from scratch and make the holiday perfect as can be reminds me of every holiday prior to this last one. My mom always works so insanely hard to make everything wonderful and she...

Thanksgiving announcement

Hello All! Okay so I am going to be on time this time with the blog link up that Holly is hosting! I am actually going to get this up tonight so that I am not scrambling a post together three days later…in my normal epic failing manner…. I would have liked to do a VLOG but I have yet to figure out how to do it….I suppose I can do it from my iPad? I dunno….anyhow I’ll just write it up instead!    Here...

Getting Organized

There is something immensely satisfying about organization. Or at least I find it satisfying anyhow.I finally posted back on the blog and actually feel ready to start making regular posts again.I spent a good portion of my evening cleaning up my Google reader and clearing out blogs that have either fallen by the wayside or just don't apply to me anymore (Bridal Blogs). It feels amazing to have...

Changes!

It’s been so very long since I posted anything. The only thing I can blame it on is that my life has been super crazy lately and I have been battling exhaustion like nobody’s business. Any free time I have lately is spent sleeping! That being said I have really been dreaming about the blog a lot. Trying to come up with what I want it to be like and what I see for it in the future. I have some...

In Memorium

Apologies for the blog silence of the past week and a half. Things in my life have been crazy. On September 28th my grandfather passed away quite suddenly. Everything has been a scattered mess since then. I miss him. I wrote and read the eulogy. It made my family laugh and cry. Everyone, especially my mom, told me how proud they were. I hope that Pap-pa was proud. I wrote my very...

Friday Favorites (this week!)

#1 I am now hooked on Blogilates.           The workouts are amazing and I can really feel the burn in my abs and my butt! The songs are fun and keep you going, plus once you memorize the workout you can do it whenever the song happens to come on the radio! Loving it! In addition she has some great tips on clean eating and even posts up a workout calendar...

Productivity

Yesterday was a rough day. Work was crazy and I was tired from the long weekend of having everyone over. I told my husband that once I got home I would not be doing anything. I was taking the night off. Ha. Ha. Ha. I got home and suddenly I had a burst of energy. I am blaming in on the fact that I did a quick five minute toning workout at work on my break. When I got home I just wanted to get...

Determination

It’s Monday again. My weekend was ok….how was yours?  Today I am trying to focus on setting my goals for the week and trying to relax after my weekend. I am also getting myself excited for the upcoming weekend in which I will be spending the whole time with my husband. For the past three weekends he has either been out of town or we have had company. It will be really nice to just have a weekend...

Let It Be

    I was having a conversation with my husband last night about how frustrated I am with things lately. Everything I have attempted this week has ended up with a disappointing result. I am so very worn out and tired and usually I am a very bubbly and happy person so this is not a place that I am used to. I do occasionally have some bad days but this has been a week long epidemic…actually...

The Party Is Over

The Pity party is over…I think I was just having a bad day.    Actually I know what the problem is…I am in a funk about my weight.    I loathe the fact that I gained weight back after the wedding . I hate the fact that I am not seeing quick results.    I am more irritated with myself than ever because I know I could do better.    I am not sure what...

Uninspired and Overwhelmed

Lately I just have been short on blog ideas. I guess I just don’t have too much to say. I am working out when I can…and I am trying to eat better as well. I’ve been logging everything on Myfitnesspal. I’ve been doing the September Squat Challenge…but none of it really seems to be something to write about.    I feel a little lost in the blog world lately. I loved my old blog dearly...

If you really knew me

So I have seen this little post floating around in the blog world lately and I thought I would give it a go!  If you really knew me…  You’d know that I have a nail polish obsession and my toes are always polished You’d know that I love horses and rode my first one when I was three  You’d know that I still collect My Little Ponies …and have well over three hundred of them…  You’d...

Thursday Tunes

Happy Thursday! I am so glad that tomorrow is Friday and that this upcoming weekend is a long one. I tell you the beginning of a school year is rough! I am exhausted and very very tired of getting ridiculous phone calls from crazy people! That being said I was definitely ready for some stress relief after work today. So on the treadmill I went and slipped on the headphones and let the world go. I...
