I don't think JG's slept in days, and I'm pretty sure his pre-game jitters had him nauseous last night.
Such an awesome time for the DAWGS!
Beat Bama!!
Three. And. A. Half. Weeks. That's all that's left of this pregnancy. I am SO. PUMPED. My c-section was moved up to 12:45. Thank you, Jesus. The not eating thing was super stressing me out, but I was also a little stressed about the ENTIRE day of anxiousness I'd feel while I waited on my 5PM surgery. Now, I get to the hospital at 10:30 on April 17th and we have this baby! Yay! I'm officially miserable. I really thought I was going to be cute pregnant this time, but my body just shuts that down. I also think that I subconsciously sabotage myself with thoughts like "...but you're pregnant, so you deserve to eat that entire box of donut holes. In 24 hours." It happened. Please don't judge me. I went to the doc yesterday, and the nurse whispers my weight as she writes it down. At first, I asked her to please refrain, but once I hit the 35lbs gained mark, I thought it was best I let myself be aware of the numb...
For me, 2018 has already started with focused attention on two areas of my life. 1. Finances. 2. Being More Fulfilled. JG and I have never stuck to a budget. We've put one together a time or two, but it's always fizzled quick. Each year, we use additional income to pay off our credit cards, and each year we say "next year, we'll use this money to take a vacation." We never do. We always end up having to pay off the credit cards. IT'S SO STUPID!!!!! I've been avoiding this topic in our marriage for years - mainly because I'm the culprit. I love to shop, and I am quick to put a card down if "I have to have it." I swear JG could live off $10 cash a week as long as he's kept fed (which is not my strong suit - more on that later?). Each year, JG doesn't bat an eye at the unnecessarily large payment we have to pay to make it go away. Don't get me wrong, he's part of it too - it's not alllllll mine, but if I'm...
Do you start your new year like everyone else and make grand plans, create vision boards, and set big goals? I honestly don't, usually. This past year I've found myself in a place of discontent. The best way to describe it is just always feeling like you're working toward the undefined "something." Just spinning my wheels until some satisfaction is felt. When I let myself slow down long enough to discover this feeling, it shook me. I describe 2017 as "busy." But when I'm honest with myself, I can't say that we traveled a ton, had a booming social life or even hit any crazy milestones. We moved, yes. We moved to a large metropolitan area from a small, sleepy town. I was used to my child being in all-day daycare for only $120/week, only to discover the same care in our new city would cost $300/week, so B went to half-day preschool and we hired a sitter for still less than the monthly cost of all day daycare. Now I find myself t...
