Friday's Letters

Linking up with Adventures of Newlyweds for

Photobucket
Dear Baby Girl, thank you for giving the day care a hard time this week with your newly cut tooth and not me!  Sorry day care but I'll take her waking up screaming from naps over waking up screaming in the middle of the night any day.

Dear YoGo Frozen Yogurt, you and I are going to have a love/hate relationship.  While you are less calories than regular ice cream,  your toppings are not.  We will have to work on that. 

Dear Sunday festival, you were canceled a few weeks ago so we're trying this again.  Your pumpkin funnel cake better not disappoint.

Dear pumpkins, I promise that we will get around to carving you this weekend sometime.  Or maybe next week.  Or maybe we will spare you the torture and leave you alone.  Probably not.  I want to roast pumpkin seeds.

Dear Scentsy warmer, I love you.  You make every room in my house smell like Fall.

Dear orange lights on my back deck, I love you too.  Your bright orange color makes me smile every time I see it. 

Dear Grey's, MUCH better episode last night.  I'm beginning to like the show again.

Dear weekend, I know you're going to fly by just like you always do because we have packed so much into you.  Let's make the most of it. 

Dear Ebates, I've decided to sign up for you again.  Since I do so much shopping online, you better be worth it.  (Yes I know, 'free' money is always worth it!)

Dear BMW, while I am so grateful that you replaced my broken cup holder, I am pissed about the price.  Does a cup holder really cost $170?  And does it really take you a whole hour ($100) to fix it?  I certainly hope nothing else EVER goes wrong with this vehicle.  Assholes.

Dear readers, have a great weekend!

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 ...

HFMD

Hand, foot, and mouth disease is a common viral illness that usually affects infants and children younger than 5 years old. However, it can sometimes occur in adults. Symptoms of hand, foot, and mouth disease include fever, blister-like sores in the mouth (herpangina), and a skin rash. ( http://www.cdc.gov/hand-foot-mouth/about/index.html) Are you kidding me? Blister-like sores in the mouth? Why do things like this even exist? What purpose does an illness like this that just torments little babies (and their parents) serve?  This stupid illness is currently 'running it's course' through my poor son. One week before his first birthday. Apparently it's 'going around' as the doctor so nicely explained.  Fortunately we only had one really bad day where he was not eating or drinking much and was just miserable. He was back to his usually happy self in no time even with blisters in his mouth. So this week, while my husband is away for work in Chicago and ...
