So What Wednesday

So What Wednesday

This week, I'm saying so what if...

  • This is only the second week of October and I already have as many blog posts this month as I did for the entire month of September.  Thanks 31 Days of Gratefulness!
  • I did exactly what I said I couldn't do last Wednesday:  cut my captain out of my diet.  Only Sunday thru Thursday.  He's back on Fridays.  Maybe I will lose an extra pound or two.
  • My pumpkin funnel cake plans were derailed due to a threat of rain.  It actually turned out to be a really nice day, which pissed me off even more.
  • We made up for the pumpkin funnel cake by going to Cracker Barrel and getting a Pumpkin Custard and Gingersnap dessert.  It did its job.
  • I found out you can shop the Cracker Barrel online.  This is very dangerous.  Check out some of the loot I got the last time I was there.

  • I am ridiculously excited about the Fall decorations I got at the Family Dollar store.  Adorable little scarecrows for $1?  The coolest stuffed owls for $3?  Total awesomeness!
  • I put my first Christmas decoration out.  What?  I got it at the Cracker Barrel and didn't have anywhere else to put it!  (I'm also not so secretly excited about Christmas and am ready to put my tree up already)
  • I thought last week's episode of Grey's Anatomy sucked even more than the first week because I already knew McSteamy died which made it even more sad.  Total Bummer.
  • I was actually talking to the TV like the judges could hear me on The Voice.  I think they did a good job this time around with picking the right winners. 
  • I really want to get some foundation ribbons tattooed onto my wrists but I think my husband might divorce me if I get any more.  Pink for Breast Cancer, Red for Heart Disease??  They are for a good cause!

  • Baby Girl woke up at 4am this morning screaming for...no reason.  She fell back to sleep pretty easily but interrupted sleep sucks so Momma Grizz is tired.
  • I am continuing the countdown for Twilight Breaking Dawn Part 2.  37 days to go. I am RIDICULOUSLY excited (and sad because I know the saga is ending).

 What are you saying so what to this week?

    I am so ready for the holidays too!! Those owls are so cute!
    And seriously loving the voice right now.
    I'm going to pretend I didn't read that part about shopping the Cracker Barrel online.

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 ...
