31 Days of Gratefulness: Day 2

 
If there is one thing I can't stand it's when I create a nice organized schedule for the week and then something disrupts the schedule.  I plan out what meals we are having on what days, what kinds of exercise I'm going to do each day and any other plans we may have.  It takes time to do this.  So when my schedule does not go as planned, I get angry.
 
Well, it doesn't always work out the way I want it to.  My husband owns his own landscaping business so plans change all of the time.  Surprise meetings pop up.  Projects have to be completed on time.  Employees don't show up making my husband's day that much longer.  I feel like I am getting better at accepting the randomness of it all. 
 
Tonight was one of those nights when my plans were interrupted by my husband's business.  He had to schedule a dinner meeting with a designer so our dinner plans were out the window.  With my recent diet, it is hard for me to eat at a restaurant and stay on track.
 
So, today I am grateful for
 

Salad Bars

Yes, salad bars are awesome.  I am very picky about my salads.  I only like a specific kind of lettuce.  It can't be too dark and it can't be too light.  Yes I will pick through the lettuce until I fill my plate with the right kind of lettuce.  I only like ham cubes, cheese and a few croutons with my salad.  And I only like French or Catalina dressing.
 
Yes I'm that picky.  I can't help it.  So it's hard to find a salad bar that has everything I need.  So when my husband springs it on me that we are going out to dinner instead of eating the nice healthy  meal I had planned, I am extremely grateful for salad bars. 
It's simple but it works.

29 Week Bumpdate

The heart rate today was 160 and all is well. Little Man is still kicking away all the time!  He sleeps until late morning and then he's all over the place for the rest of the day.  It's fun but it's also uncomfortable sometimes. When I weighed myself on Sunday, which is when I usually do it to update my pregnancy app, I was only up 15lbs.  As of today, though, I am up 17lbs.  I feel like I am growing at warp speed but the doctor assures me that I am measuring just fine.  I do feel like some of the shirts I wore two weeks ago shouldn't be worn anymore though!  The bump is growing! I have noticed that I have been waking up with swollen ankles every morning despite sleeping with them elevated.  I know this has a lot to do with the weight gain since I had such a problem with it last time.  Other than that, the normal heartburn and backaches come and go and I'm crazy tired but I don't really have any other issues.  I don't ever ...

Cheerios Stands

So when I logged onto my computer this morning, the first article that caught my attention was this one ( Cheerios Stands ) about a new commercial Cheerios has out.  They are getting a ton of negative feedback for this commercial and I'm just not understanding why. So basically, people are upset because this is a white mother, a black father and a biracial child.  What's the big deal? I know that it isn't a common thing to see in a TV commercial but what's the big deal?  I really don't think that biracial couples are uncommone these days so I'm not really understanding why they are getting such negative feedback for this commercial.  I give a ton of props to Cheerios/General Mills for not pulling the ad.  They could do that and that would be easy and would end the negativity but they are not going to do that.  Good for you.  There is no reason why this ad should not be aired. By the way, I think the commercial is cute and funny and I proba...

Blog Commenting Challenge!

Linking up with Jenna's Journey  for the 3rd Annual Blog Commenting Challenge! Hi! I'm Vanessa! I live with my husband Bryan and my amazing 6 month old Ashlyn in Pennsylvania. I was born and raised here and love it very much! We have 2 pugs, Katie and Utley, one black lab, Camo and one cat, Joey. Our second cat, Kitty, is sadly recently deceased (on Father's Day). I work full time as a Marketing Analyst for a supply chain consulting firm. I don't even know what that means really! I have been here for 3 years and am thinking about a career change. SAHM is looking better and better. My husband owns his own landscaping business which has been both wonderful and horrible at the same time! My husband and I know each other for about 17 years now and we have been together for 12. We got married in September of 2010, just 2 weeks shy of our 10th anniversary! We got pregnant after only 2 months of trying and last December we were greeted by Ashlyn Marie Miller,...
