just a minute

My poor laptop of several years (wow it lasted long) was at its own death bed recently and could no longer endure my abuse and so it is now resting in peace while I place my abuse on a shiny new laptop. Granted its not super fancy and not top of the line but it is going to provide the support my habit of Facebook games, Sims 3, D60 camera photos, and Photoshop and that's all I need it to do - oh and blog entries lol!

So we got a new laptop and comcast cable internet so I have no excuses not to design and blog more. Give me just a minute to transfer all my files and programs though because it's a lottttttt of uh junk to move. I've been going through a lot of old photos. It's funny how much our lives have changed. Looking through my previous laptop is like reliving my life. Looking at photos when we first lived at the big parker house, lots of birthday parties, vacations to everywhere, clubbing till 2am, bottle service at the hottest bars, laughs with friends, our wedding, family photos, pregnancy, birth of Ayden, our new home, more weddings, and everything else inbetween. I love my new camera and I need to take my point and shoot camera more often.

My point is so many good memories in the last few years and we have so many more memories to make!

Happy Holidays!

Happy Holidays to our friends and families and to you out there who may or may not be reading my blog!

We've had such an amazing year filled with so many milestones in our lives. This year started off with me with a new job, than becoming a MOMMY, celebrating two years of marriage, and watching Ayden grow and meeting all of his baby milestones, and moving into our new home, not the first home we owned but still a milestone nonetheless. The year has flown by so fast and now we celebrate our first Christmas with Ayden. We've spent so many Christmas's just the two of us we were used to just showering each other with gifts and now this year it wasn't really about us any more it was about that little boy.

Will did however get a pretty good present he got a new car. It wasn't the ideal situation to be getting a new car but it was a bad situation that we made lemonade with. He has a more family friendly car and finally a car I can drive as well. I joke and tell him its our car cause whats yours is mine baby!! No I won't steal his car I have my own car.

In other Ayden news he has sprouted TWO new bottom teeth. Weeks of on and off cranky-pants have finally paid off with these sharp suckers. You can hear him bang cups up against his new pearls haha. He's also discovered that if he can't see you than you must have left him and he will scream bloody murder. He's become such a mama's boy but I can't lie I love the way he makes me feel. To know that this tiny little person needs you and trusts you with their life and can't be away from you makes you feel pretty darn special. It does break my heart when I send him off to Grandma's and I miss him all day but when I sit in my cubical and stare at his pictures I remind myself I sit there because of him. To earn money to buy him diapers and milk and provide that oh-so-fun health insurance. Oh I think they call it responsibility. Hey we all need our motivations and he is my number one person for that.

I'm glad we moved into our house when we did. I just left all of my Christmas decorations out and decorated right before Thanksgiving. The lights outside look great, I love our tree (pre-light fake tree all the way), and the stockings are perfect. Ayden saw Santa earlier this month, we took family portraits, individual portraits of Ayden, and we sent out our holiday card.

Our one big new years resolution is..... NO BINKIE!!! DUN DUN DUN! Wish us luck!

I forgot about you

Full time mommy, wifey, daughter, sister, and Sprint Employee makes me forget about the internet. I have enough time for twitter on the phone and facebook via my phone. We found THE HOUSE. No not the tv show but our home for at least the next 10 years. I dont think it's the forever house. It's a our house while our children are under 10years old house. Why do I want to move again later? Eh I'll get bored of this house eventually.

Ayden is moving towards 6months! Time flies by when you're raising a little monkey. He already had his first hair cut but thats true to Vietnamese tradition for a "fresh start" on his crop of hair. He was getting baldy patchy from the first crop that came in so its like replanting....its getting to be another full crop. He's got his dad's hair thats for sure.



Cheesy McCheesy. That ham.



Buzz Buzz


We close on the house at the end of October. We saw what felt like over 30 houses and they all started to look the same. We were picky but we were willing to work with a fixer upper. Instead we found a house that wasn't brand new but was in EXCELLENT condition. Probably better than some of the new houses we saw. This couple is an older couple, no kids, one dog. The house was cute and special very "us". We are excited to get this move done and over with. I hate packing more than the moving it self. Can't i just leave my useless crap all over the place?

Before I end one more picture. We had a reunion date with the couples who were in our birthing class. You know where you learn lamaze breathing and watch birthing videos. Yeah you could say we ALL bonded. Our babies were all born within days of each other. We all went from super prego bellies to big bouncy babies. It was an awesome play date. They had make your own pizza's where you roll out the dough, grill it on the grill, and all the toppings your tummy could handle. Perfect play date. Can't wait for the next play date.

house hunting

Yes we are house hunting. You know going out into the wilderness, guns out, sneaking around corners as to not scare the house in the good neighboorhood so that hopefully you'll find that beauty of a house to claim as your own lol. We've been in and out of lots of houses. Trying to picture your crap instead of their crap. When I look at the inside of a house I picture where Ayden will be taking his first steps. Where the Christmas tree will go. Where I would hang our wedding photo. Cheesy things like that. We've decided this will be our "forever" house as in 10+ years we will invest into this house. This house has to be big enough for one more kid, has to have ample storage for all my crap, and has to have garage space for Will's crap haha. This is a great market to get into a house as people are trying to get out of theirs and before all the interest rates get all crazy. So we're going to take advantage and settle down once and for all. Our doggies deserve a big roomy yard and Ayden deserves a house he can run around in and grow up in. We're excited to be getting our house and we will move before the summer is over. This I guarantee.

Old navy whats wrong with you?

I normally love Old Navy, heck I used to work there as a teen....during Christmas season at that. But lately it seems as Ayden has been screaming bloody murder any time we mention going to Old Navy and as soon as we hit the Old Navy parking lot it is serious bloody murder giant tears time. 2 for 2 he has screamed while we were at old navy. So I'm forced to speed shop like I won a free shopping spree for five minutes of shopping lol. That adrenaline starts pumping and I'm looking for my size and if its a sale item its bonus points hahahaha.

I think he secretly hates it because Old Navy baby size runs SMALL!!!! 3-6months my ass my son is barely not even 3 months and that shit wouldn't fit his one leg! I don't get it their sizes should be somewhat comparable to Baby Gap (as they are the same company) but Old Navy sizes are too small for him. I wanted him to have a 4th of July outfit but they were all too small, the 18-24month looked like it would fit but I didnt want another romper. So he just wore a striped red blue and white romper that was a gift from Jen and Steve. We showed him sparklers but it was too wet and cold outside for him to care lol maybe next year it will be better.

Ayden's first 4th was quiet and at home. His grandma turned him into a cranky baby when it comes to eating. She started heating his bottles when I went back to work and now all he will eat is warm bottles. So we cant travel far without finding some place to get hot water to warm up his bottle. Often we'll find the starbucks get a hotcup of water and dunk his bottle into it. Next baby gets room temp bottles because I am not doing this a second time damnit!

Pictures coming as my early bday present is amazing!

Works in progress

The biggest current project is decluttering and making more space as we now are a family of three. I'm getting better and not clinging on to so much stuff so it is progress but alas its a work in progress lol. I've also brought back out my Wii Fit I finally feel like I have somewhat enough sleep and energy to even want to work out. Probably a good idea seeing as how everyone and their mothers are getting married this summer. Can't be looking all flabby at the weddings so I better be working out. I am going to be donating a lot of items such as clothes, shoes, and toys all in good conditions to better causes than collecting my dust.

I am excited to become an Aunty!! YAY!! Tom and Sam are expecting their first baby together and I can't wait for Ayden to have a cousin. I grew up with so many cousins I want Ayden to have cousins the same age as well. Speaking of Ayden he is growing so fast. He's smiling and cooing all day. He's growing like a little weed. Tall and skinny like his Daddy lol. Sam's going to be back to visit for the summer since Texas is all sorts of hot, humid, and buggy this time of year. Perfect timing since the Renaissance festival hazah!

Also working in progress is a new layout for the blog. One fitting for Simply Jenn's blog :)

Lots to look foward to!

I <3 my family

Being a wife is amazing but being a wife and Mom now thats what I call completion :) Ayden is 7weeks old and just yesterday got his first full set of immunization shots eek. He was a bit fussy since his poor legs were hurting (two shots in each leg) but he pulled through like the champ that he is.



He's the love of our lives.

We are still figuring things out like juggling work and home life. You think you have it figured out but along comes baby and than you have got to re-org. All the junk you used to hold on to has to go in the trash cause theres no longer room to hoard. I'm excited about this next part in our lives. Being a parent means no longer being selfish about your own lives because now its about whats best for him. In a couple of years I want to add to our family and hopefully have my own mini me a daughter :) Not right now of course because this is Ayden's time.

My super amazing loving hubby has been such an amazing Daddy. I wouldnt be able to be sane without him. I love him more each day and Ayden is truly lucky to be his daddys own mini me lol :)

25 things you may not have known about me

Once you've been tagged, you are supposed to write a note with 25 random things, facts, habits, or goals about you. At the end, choose 25 people to be tagged. You have to tag the person who tagged you. If I tagged you, it's because I want to know more about you

1. Well my number one goal right now is to be an amazing Mommy to this beautiful little boy named Ayden. He makes me want to be a better person. Our family is a better picture with him in it. We couldn't be more proud. We're excited for all the things in our future.

2. I love puzzles, the big complex 3D ones to the 1000 Thomas Kincade puzzles. If you come over to our place you'll see plenty of replica landmarks in 3D form. I'm sure this will be a favorite past time as I don't forsee much puzzle time in the future.

3. I'm an electronic gadget fanatic. I've got a video ipod, ipod shuffle, and iphone - yes they pretty much all do similar things but I had to have one of each any way. Oh and I'm getting a second cell soon here, but thats cause of my new job - just a perk :) My Wii is awesome, so is my DS, my digicam is a necessity and

4. I am a fan of cooking reality shows like Hell's Kitchen and Top Chef! Those I'll watch any day but those dating ones or the singing/dancing ones I am not into at all. I love watching good food being made or someone being yelled at for making crappy food lol. Oh and Unwrapped, diners drive-ins and dives, Andrew Zimmermans world travel! What can I say I <3 food, hell I travel to places mostly for food hahahahha.

5. My husband and I met on a blind date, yup we were set up by a good friend :) Who says you can't find your mate on a blind date pshhhhh. And personality wise we are as opposite as they come. I'm loud and outgoing he's shy and quiet. You never notice it though because I'm so friendly you forget Will doesn't talk to you.

6. I have an evil weakness for designer purses. It's a collection really. Oh especially all things Louis :) Although I haven't truly indulged in this weakness in a long time so that must mean I am getting stronger. I've probably spent MORE on purses than people spend on their first car..maybe your second car too..:/...its bad. I don't approve of knockoff/fake bags. Why WASTE your money on a piece of fake crap that breaks right away when if you save and truly want the real thing it can be attainable its not impossible. So put that fake ass shit away.

7. I'm a diabetic, yes even before the pregnancy. It runs in my family and I do my best to keep it under control with diet but since being pregnant it's been a lot more work from me and the pharmacy to keep my sugar in check. Some days it sucks really bad not to be able to eat what you want but some days I just am thankful that it's not worse.

8. Las Vegas feels like our second home since it's the place we visit most. Before the economy went into the toilet we were there like 4x a year. Last year was the first time we only went twice. Yes more than normal people but so little to us. We love our friends there and we love that theres a million things to do there. Seriously we've never had a bad time in Vegas I mean how could you have a bad time unless you had a big ass stick up ur ass???

9. I'm a crawfish ADDICT! You should know that in case you have a crawfish boil and need someone to help you eat it....seriously CALL ME! If I had the funds I'd totally open a crawfish restaurant...YES in CO..don't knock it till you try it.

10. My dogs are my first "kids". I never had a pet of my own growing up so adopting two little doggies to practice my motherly instincts was an amazing choice. Who knew I could love these dogs so much?? We'll see if practice pays off lol. When you care for a little being who needs you, yes even if its a little dog, it gives you a whole new appreciation. Dogs are not accessories they are like mini-people with their own personalities and who truly love you.

11. I get annoyed very easily. I lack the patience sometimes and I try to control as best as I can but if I'm short with you BACK THE EFF off than - TAKE THE HINT!

12. I DO NOT like people cancelling plans on me at the last minute. This goes with #11. Don't tell me omg invite me when you go, agree to go, than cancel ALL the freaking time. I DON'T need to hang out with you than. If I don't mean that much to you for you to make the effort to meet me somewhere than don't even bother acting like you care. You only get so many cancels and I'll stop making plans with you.

13. I'm a big cry baby when it comes to movies, like the dog movie 8below...omg I balled like a baby. I'm a sucker for a good crying movie...but at the same time I don't want you to see me cry :/ But the only movie that should've made me cry didn't - The Notebook. Yeah good movie but it didn't move me.

14. I love reading for fun. Harry Potter series, Twilight series, Traveling pants series, mystery novels, and lots more are my favorite. I love crawling into bed with a good book or while I'm on vacation pool side.

15. My weekly read though has to be US Weekly. Yes I've got a subscription and read it cover to cover every week. Yeah so if we're discussing celebrity news you better believe I know the scoop. hahahaha.

16. I cannot go to bed dirty. No matter how drunk/tired/etc I may be I DRAG my ass to the shower to take a good hot shower before I crawl into bed. I will not go to bed dirty. I love a clean bed. I love the smell of fresh bounce on my sheets and crawl into it clean on clean baby.

17. I used to not be able to stand needles, touching my eye, eye drops, or take pills and now I'm a pro at all of the above. After being diabetic, lasik eye surgery, and after being prego and giving birth nothing freaks me out. I had to put drops in my eyes like no tomorrow. Insulin only goes through my body via needle and after being prego you take prenatal vitamins the size of horse pills so you get over it quick. The trick is swallowing the water not the pill that just so happens to swim in it.

18. I'm good at public speaking. I've had practice since high school. To this day at work I'm always confident when speaking in front of groups even if I have no idea what I am talking about I can probably bluff my way through it lol! I've done it before muhahaha!

19. I really enjoy golfing. It's finding people to golf with thats the trouble. Been golfing since freshmen year of highschool and its true watching it is borrrring but playing it is a whole different thing.

20. I always get a shotglass from wherever we are going or staying at. I think this one a lot of people do but so do we. The only place I never got one was when I went to Vietnam....brought back a lot of other things just not a shot glass. We've got shotglasses from all the hotels we've been to in Vegas, the Dominican Republic, and all the other places inbetween. We've traveled a lot together and it's something I'm so glad we got to do before we started having kids.

21. I have the same online blog since 2002 and I still update it to this day. I've made some AMAZING friends on it and I've met a lot of them too. They are true confidants and I'm thankful to have them in my life. We even have a baby journal blog.

22. There is a star in our solar system named after Will and I in the cancer constellation. Will gave it to me as a gift for our paper one year wedding Anniversary. He's always been the romantic.

23. I like MAC and sephora a lot. I don't wear a ton of make up every day but on nights out or special occasions I know how to look good ;) This has been the past year or more that I've really gotten into it and really invested money into the good stuff. My HS friends will tell you they never knew me as the makeup girl lol

24. Contrary to a lot of peoples beliefs Will does NOT buy me everything I want. The majority of my purses were bought by me. He did buy me a few items such as wallets from time to time and my watch but not things like my CAR. Don't assume just because yes I am spoiled at times that I don't work and don't buy things for myself. During my entire pregnancy there was only 6 weeks where I wasn't working full time but thats because of the poor job force out there! I didn't get to sit at home and just be barefoot and prego was working full time damnit.

25. Both of our families are completly opposite from each other. My family is big and loud his family is small and quiet. But I love both sides of our families. It is a balance in our lives and I wouldn't have it any other way.

**WHOO ok that was harder than I thought. I hope you all learned a little more about me.

Welcome baby Ayden

Ayden T T

Born Thursday, April 9th 2009 @ 12:30pm
7lb 9oz and 20inches long

He's beautiful and healthy and we're all home and resting. I come bearing photos. Sorry if you didn't get a text but I got Will to update the online portals for those that wanted to know. The first week was full of worries as Ayden had bad jaundice the entire first week. We went back to the hospital for one full day because it was pretty bad. But alas we've finally got the greenlight today that we no longer need to worry about bad bilirubin levels. Ayden's growing very well. He eats and sleeps like a champ. He only cries when its cold or if he's hungry so he's an awesome sleeper. Will and I love him more than anything and we're so happy to have him in our lives.

Hello Belly

Here is an updated belly picture that was previously posted on my baby journal and a holiday pics of our doggies. If you were on my facebook or myspace you may have already seen it :)


That was at 23and a half weeks, we are now officially at 24 weeks!!! Wow six months pregnant already :) We had our 6 month check up and everything sounds good and even the doctor said she was so proud that I'm doing so well! We saw him again and he is already such a ham. I swear sometimes its like he knows when we are watching. He was moving his hands in his face and than he showed us that he could stretch his arms all the way out and catch his own toes! Small stuff like that totally makes my day. He's this little person just staying warm till he's ready to come out into the world :) We are so excited we can hardly contain it!!!



Our current kids are still enjoying life pre-baby. They got gifts as usual and they will continue to get gifts :) My dad tried to pawn one of them off to my sister but I wouldnt have it. They are our kids!!!!!!!

More than halfway through!

Wow in 3 short weeks we'll be out of the second trimester already! One last one left and I can't believe it :) That first trimester went by so slow I felt like 20 weeks was so far away and here we are almost in our 23 week already. I have a feeling this last trimester will be a mix. April is not too far away.

If you haven't heard already we are expecting a little boy. He was showing us his "goods" at 16 weeks. Will and I are beyond thrilled and we cannot wait to meet this little boy. We picked his first name out already and his family has picked out the middle name.

So far this pregnancy has been really easy. He's not at ALL picky on food. The only bad thing is that I crave sweets with him and that is a big no no. Only once in awhile will I have a treat and any juices I drink now have to be diluted. Which to my taste buds still taste great. He's growing fast. According the the baby books he's already a whole pound (or a little more) and probably 8inches long. I'm still working through this pregnancy. There was only 3 weeks where I didn't work but right back to work I went. I am planning to work up until he makes his arrival and for right now the plan is for me to return to work after I have him. Grandma's want to babysit and whats my excuse to stay home?



Here we are at around 18weeks with my new mommy car. No more two door for me unfortunately :( Now I drive this almost bus car which is very different for me since I've only driven the small tiny cars up until now. Thats ok cause the safer the better for me and the little one. We haven't started shopping for him just yet, we bought a couple of outfits at the outlett mall but that was as far as we went. I think in January we'll start our baby registry and maybe do a late Feb early March baby shower. Traditionally our family does the shower a month after the baby is born to celebrate the baby's birth and to meet the new addition but we might just do both, who knows we'll see.

Will and I are enjoying these last holidays of just the two of us. We are getting as much rest as possible and the next holidays will be completly different for all of us.

So from our family to yours HAPPY HOLIDAYS, have a great, safe, and warm Christmas!

Cravings

They say pregnant women crave the weirdest things, like pickels and icecreame, anchovies and ice creame, dirt, sand, anything goes, but I don't crave those. I crave my comfort food like some good ol cajun crawfish, my oriental chicken salad from applebees, funnel cake (and there is a restaurant that makes these babies), and fruit candies!

Its not crawfish season and any place decent that has it is hundreds of dollars away! I cant justify that for a craving boo! I'd rather save that money for a maternity-family portrait for our family a before and after our bundle of joy arrives :) I can't wait to meet our little one!

This was just a quick update that mommy and baby are fine and well daddy is same ol same ol! Lucky him he hasnt had the sympathy pains lol!

my how time flies

Wow its been two months since I updated my blogspot and so much has changed and happened.

The biggest news: We're EXPECTING! July's celebrations of birthdays and anniversary gave us the biggest gift of all our little baby. We are now in our SECOND trimester. We made it safely through our first trimester with flying colors. I luckily did not endure any morning sickness at all. I only felt a little queasy when I hadn't eaten and my child demanded food or get sick. I chose food lol! Before the new year we hope to find out if it will be a boy or girl and in late April we are expecting our new addition :)

We dont have a preference over boy or girl we just want a happy healthy baby :)

We're trying to preadjust to life with a new baby by getting rid of junk now for much needed space later. Pack rat habits cant live! We have a sitting room adjoined to our master bedroom and have decided that would be perfect for a baby nursery. There is a lot of light and close to mommy and daddy. We're so estatic for his/her little arrival. Two more trimesters to go!

whoa July was busy, its mid august jeebus

I get sooo lazy with the resizing of photos, myspace and facebook make it oh so easy to upload while here you have to resize, and upload and than link. Lots of work for a girl with so little time. So here goes part one of the backtracking on summer photos.



// My pressies at work, I'm princess for a day! My hubby got me that beautiful Edible Arangement


// He had lunch with me :)


// LMFAO my friends at work glued my face to Belle cause thats how I am


// My lovely sisters


// The most magical cake, chocolate with whipped cream frosting and bavarian cream filling, from the same bakery that made our wedding cake


// I love this picture of us!



// The birthday girl, happy 24th, I couldn't ask for more :)

Welcome back Tom!

First off a big Welcome Back to my future brother in law Tom who has just gotten home from a six month tour of Qtar! I know my little sister Samantha is very happy and excited about it :) I'm glad now she has someone else to bother hahaha just kidding! She was lonesome thats for sure.

Secondly a big congrats to my hubby and I for one year of marriage whoohoo!! We celebrated in the right style and had an amazing anniversary! We are so blessed and are very happy :)

Thirdly summer semester is almost done I can almost taste it but that also means summer is coming to an end already :( Sad it went so fast.

We've been enjoying summer activities such as BBQ's, the renaissance festival, family outings, and much much more. Trying to make the most of a great summer. I know my husband is especially excited about his anniversary/bday gift a new hood, painted, repainted front, and clear bra on his car. His car is his passion as it is for a lot of guys and I'm happy that I can get him something he can truly enjoy instead of cologne which I enjoy lol.

I hope everyone else is enjoying their warm summers. Next thing you know it will be winter again!

Decisions, decisions

This has by far been one of my most emotional weeks of the year. It just so happens that yes it was also the week of my birthday but my emotional breakdown happened after the whole birthday hooray. I am overwhelmed with everything going on in my life. I am sure a lot of people can relate. A lot of it is taking on too much and my brain and emotions are on super overdrive. I want to push and just make it through 3 more weeks of school its crunch time and I just need to finish it. I am not even looking at fall at this point I just am focusing on this summer.

At the same time at work they asked me if I was in fact going to commit long term to this job. I was honest and said I don't know. To me this is just a job I do not want it to be my long term career goal and my future goals don't include anytthing in the medical field. This is what works with me going to school and near my home. I don't get paid the pay I am used to and so I told them well give me two weeks to decide. The only problem now is I can't decide if I should move on or should I hang in there.

A lot of decisions and no answers to give anyone. Can I use a magic eight ball? LOL Easier said than done. Too many things going on!!

Love like this

You're the only one that knows me,
Love it when you hold me,
Never find a love like this
Let me hear you say
Now I'll never be lonely,
Look at what you've shown me,
Never find a love like this
~Natasha Bedingfield

Do words of a favorite song ever hit you in a special way? Or bring you back to a memory or think of someone? I remember growing up and having songs on repeat until I memorized all the lyrics. I was a complete Backstreet Boy teenybopper.......shh still am today!!! Our wedding song still brings a tear to my eye when we hear it :)

Our one year wedding anniversary is coming right around the corner and I am so excited for it. I've been working on his present for awhile and year one is paper *hint*hint*. Our one year is so special because I truly believe it was a hard year. We had to work harder through a lot of tough issues. There were people rooting for us to fail miserably and we didn't let them win. Instead we fell in love all over again. I love him more with each day and I'm reminded of how incredibly lucky I am to have him as my husband. We have a love that can't be found so easy. I know now it sounds like I am gushing but I can't help it. I love him so much! *MUAH*MUAH*MUAH*



Our most frequently asked question (mind you people ask my sister, my parents, grandparents but never me to my face) is Are you Pregnant?!?

The answer is no, not yet. When the time is right it will happen and when the time does come we will let you ALL know. And no not via my blog I'll call you (or text you hahaha). So there consider this the record being set straight!

Greetings from work

My birthday is officialy just a week and a half away!! Whoo the big 24, lol everything is the big [insert number here]. I love birthdays whether they are mines or someone else's. It's a day to celebrate your life and the great things in it...was that too cheesy?

So the plan is on my actual birthday which is Tuesday the 8th wings night at BW3 in lonetree. Than that weekend a four course dinner at my favorite place The Melting Pot...YUM! Followed by either a stint at bowling or D&B's we'll see how the night goes :)

July is just the month for cakes. The baker that made our wedding cake will be making my birthday cake and recreating the top layer of our wedding cake for our first wedding anniversary. Can you tell I am super excited? I don't think its a bad thing. Especially since today the negative nellies like to take everyone down. Well you know what you can't take this birthday girl down. You go be sad in your own corner k.

July 4th is so close and I'm excited too but work is so short staffed that its bothering me so much I cant get excited about a 3 day weekend. Sad I know. Short staffed in an already small office sucks, trust me on that. I need happy hour that week lol, who's in?

week 3

Well this week has been an interesting week. I've been getting current on all my vacinations (so handy since I work at a Dr.s office) and so my arm is sore from all the shots and than for curious sakes I did a complete panel on my bloodwork. The results were not good. There is something wrong with me and its not good. I'm not comfortable discussing this on my blog but I can talk about my feelings towards it.

On a positive note its good that I know now and I can make changes and such to my life to better my body. On the other side it's a toll emotionally and physically. Sometimes I will be completly fine with myself and than later I would feel completly down and depressed about it all. It's like I am just thinking way too much about it. For the most part though I guess I can appreciate that I shouldn't take life for granted and that things happen for a reason.

I'm already thinking about the fall and whether or not to continue online classes or not. I love the idea of continuing my education but I'm wondering what school will be better for me and really how much can I handle. Especially with my new health concerns everything has added to the stress that I call life. It is all up in the air at this point I guess.....

P.S. You know who you are but if you think in any way I have anything to do with YOUR drama, you are kidding yourself by blaming me. I haven't been a part of your life in a long time so please save yourself from hating me, I had nothing to do with it. You should know better than that.

Is it Friday yet??

It is true, misery loves company. And apparently misery works with me at work because every day feels tougher than the day before. I went to great lengths to avoid this fool misery but his persistent self found me day after day. I even MADE CUPCAKES from SCRATCH even a MARTHA STEWART receipe at that. Come on now what is with the still crabby patty people. I made cupcakes that took like 3 hours to make. Why isn't happiness contagious? In fact it is like happiness makes people even more mad....sometimes it's a lost cause.

I need the weekend to come! I need a break a chance to relax and breathe.

My husband has already made me feel better. I came home to a SPOTLESS house! Whooohoo I didn't have to lift a finger. He is amazing and I am so blessed to have such a thoughtful loving husband who knows just what I like. He knew that I was stressed enough as it is and even though he was on call for work this week he came through for me like a champ. I couldn't ask for more.
