Day 1: The Story of My Life

I think I'm going to jump on this 'blog every day in May' train.  I can't guarantee that I will blog every single day, especially since I don't blog on weekends, but I will try.  Check out Story of My Life for more information about this challenge.

Day 1:  The story of my life in 250 words or less

June 1st is mah birfday and that’s only a month away!  The big 3-0!  I have been in PA all my life and have never lived more than 15 minutes from my parents.  I graduated from Penn State University after 7 ½ years of schooling with a BS in Business.   I have been a babysitter, lifeguard, retail manager, banker, admin and marketing analyst.  I met my husband when I was 12 and we were married 15 years later!  My husband owns his own landscaping business and works for a pond and patio installer.  I will be a SAHM come June and I can’t wait!  We have two pugs, a black lab and a cat named Joey.  We have one beautiful daughter who is the most amazing little person in this world.  Her brother will be making his debut in August or September. 

I’m blunt and crude at times but I’m also sentimental and thoughtful.  I love to sleep and don’t do well without it.  I’m a big hockey fan and will probably not be able to be your friend if you are a Penguins fan.  I like to cook and bake but I don’t like to clean up the mess afterwards.  I’ve never had a broken bone, serious illness or surgery and I’ve only ever stayed in the hospital when my daughter was born.  I like to travel but I hate planes and long car rides.  I am one giant contradiction.  Knowing me is quite fun!

    That is so cool that you met your hubby when you were 12! I met mine when I was 15. Totally didn't think I would end up marrying him, I tell you. This was so fun!

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...

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 ...
