31 Days of Gratefulness: Day 1

I wanted to get this post done last night but did not get the time. Oh well. I will just have to write two posts today.

I can't help but start off my 31 Days of Gratefulness with a big one.

My daughter.

She is just amazing. And nights like last night make me realize just how amazing she really is. I have to be the luckiest Mom alive.

She sat quietly and played while I made dinner.

She fell asleep in the middle of her toy pile and took a nap.

She played and smiled and giggled the rest of the night.

She took a quick bath and went to bed easily.

She makes this thing we call parenting easy.

I am SO grateful for that.

Up to the challenge? Link up at The Nester.

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...

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 ...

So What Wednesday

So what if I have been converted to a snow hater. I usually love the snow. I loved to see the white stuff blanketing everything. I loved having snow days. I loved how quiet it would get because people were keeping warm in their homes. I loved the sound of sleds and kids building snowmen. I don't love it anymore. Snow days? I don't get snow days. I don't work. I don't get to have work or school canceled. I don't get to take the day off from my kids because of the snow. What I do get is to have a mini van that sucks in the snow so I don't get to go anywhere and get cooped up in the house with the kids. And I also get a husband who is gone. He plows snow in the Winter. Go figure. He has been gone almost non-stop for the past two weeks because of this stupid snow and he will be gone again tonight because of the snow. So not only do I get stuck inside with the kids while my husband is gone, I also h...
