If I Had a Million Dollhairs....

Linking up with Holly from Where We Can Live Like Jack and Sally.
 
 
Of course if I won the lottery, I would do practical things with the money like set some aside for college tuition for my kids, give some to my parents for whatever they needed, donate some to charity, pay off my college loans.  But what would I love to do with some of that money?
 
1.  Buy the house and land that we really want.  We are planning to move to a 13 acre property and my husband is ridiculous over it.  Lots of land just like he wants and a safe place for our kids to grow up.  The problem?  I'm not a big fan of the house.  It isn't nearly big enough for what I want and it needs a lot of renovations.  I'm all for having land, but let's buy land with a nice house on it.
 
2.  Buy myself the Lexus I've always wanted.  I am really in love with the RX but I want third row seating so I'll settle for the GX or the LX.  Not that I don't love my BMW but there's just something about a Lexus.
 
3.  Buy my husband the truck he's been dreaming of.  I'm not really sure what that is at the moment since it changes daily but he needs a nice new truck.
 
4.  Travel cross country.  My husband has this dream of renting an RV and traveling across the country.  I'm not sure why because he knows I can't stand long car rides but whatever.  I guess we can take a crack at at.

5.  Go to Italy.  It has always been a dream of mine to go to Italy.  I would have to pay extra for the drugs to knock me out during the flight because I really hate to fly but I would definitely book a trip to Italy.  Now whether or not we take the kids is a different story.
 
6.  Adopt a child.  I have spoken with my husband about adopting a few times.  He doesn't seem as excited about it as I am.  I mean, we know that we can have babies naturally but I'd love to adopt a child.  I'd love to share my love with a baby or child who really needs it.  The costs of adoption are pretty high, though, so the lottery would definitely help with that!

7.  Get some liposuction.  Losing weight isn't as easy as it used to be.  So, once I was sure I was done having kids, I would totally get some lipo.  Hell the husband might get some too.

I can't really think of anything else exciting that I would do.  I'm pretty practical so I know I would have hard time spending any of the money at all but the first three on the list would definitely be top priority if I won.

    Everything about your list is perfect. I would love to adopt too. :)

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 ...

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...
