I've been blessed in the pregnancy department

  • Nov 26, 2008
  • Post a comment

I've been thinking alot lately about how lucky I've been with my two pregnancies. I've had two very easy ones. I didn't have morning sickness, I don't bleed out of my ass when I go to the bathroom, I'm not experiencing general over all discomfort and so far I've been able to sleep really good at night.

I know a few ladies who can't say the same thing. I feel really lucky to of had and to be having such a easy pregnancy. I feel blessed. There are some ladies who say that pregnancy was horrible. However I've had and am having a  great one.

I can actually sit back, relax and enjoy being pregnant.

So Charles grandfather is in the hospital. He's doing better now then when he was first admitted.

We have been waiting now for a day and a half for a Red Cross message so Charles can get emergency leave but said message has never CAME. His mother and grandmother want us to come down so freaking bad YET they have NOT sent the message yet. WHAT THE FUCK?

I am getting really tired of this. It is going to take us 6 and a half hours to get there. I do NOT want to spend all day in the car with Troy and the god damn dog. I just want to get the hell on the road and get this trip OVER with.

I am pregnant I don't need this fucking stress.

Damn it

I really hate my domain's web hosting company. So my yearly hosting is up TOMORROW. I e-mailed them and asked them to charge my account on the 15th for another  year and not to wait into the 19th. They said okay. Well the 15th came and they never did it. I e-mailed them and they said they would. Its the 18th and they finally tried to run it today. Although of course I had Charles bank card information in there and I had to cancel his card yesterday because I lost it. So it got denied so now they are e-mailing me about it and I'm like well I DID tell you do to it on the 15th so they wouldn't of happened. And of course now I don't have enough to cover it in my account because I had to pay bills and go food shopping and all of that lovely adult crap.

So I guess they will have to wait into the 1st to get paid. Hopefully they won't delate everything. I have a year and a half worths of posts on my wp blog and I DON"T want to lose them.

Blah so for the next 15 days I will be posting here and then once my domain is back up I will transfer the posts.

Why did I want a baby?

  • Jul 14, 2008
  • Post a comment

Why did I ever want to have kids? Oh wait because they are fun. lol. While Troy does have his moments the last couple of weeks have been on the black part of parenting. He doesn't want to sleep, screeches whenever he doesn't get what he wants when he wants it and for a while he didn't sleep for like three days straight. So someone please tell me again why I ever wanted a baby? Please!

Harsh I know. But its the truth. Now I love my son and would do anything for him. Its just mommy needs a break (& a rum drink!). However I can't get either. Theres no breaks for the stay at  home mother (well at least into daddy comes home). Also we are expecting baby #2. SURPRISE. Yes that is right. The damn thing broke and baby #2 is on his or her way and is due to make their grand entrance in late February.

Isn't life just grand?

I love this blog. This is the blog where I get to let it all go. I get to post about whatever and nobody can stop me. Don't have to worry about my mom or mother in law reading it. Hence why I talk about them so much. :) This is like my vent blog. My OMG I have to tell someone but can't post this on my domain blog.

Speaking of my darling little man it is almost time for my 2nd favorite part of the time (this comes right after bed time) nap time! Yes its almost time for nap time. Woot. lol. I can't wait.

Alright so my wonderful husband told me that they may be moving his flight up by THREE days. Wow. That means he may come home three whole days sooner. *crosses fingers*. 

And what post isn't complete without pictures?

The first picture on the left is of who else but Troy? lol. My mom didn't believe that I gave him tummy time because every time I take a picture he's on his back or playing with something. So of course I had to prove her wrong.

The picture on the right is of my newest scrapbook page. Arn't the colors just GREAT? I am totally in love with this page. I also love the lettering. Very totally not something I would usually do.

Okay the second picture on the left is of well me. I figured its been a while since I've post a new picture of me. I think I look like crap. But for someone who hardly slept that night I guess I don't look too bad.

And the bottom two picture of are Troy. Well one is of Troy & Monster. Monster is my "puppy". Well he was a puppy he is now 6 months old. Wow. And Troy can do anything in the world to him and Monster wouldn't care.
