21? Already?

Whoa, it's been awhile. I always forget about blogs and stuff.
As we all know, October is full of birthdays. Mine happens to be one of them. If you follow me on twitter, or are friends with me on facebook you definitely know this. I do consider myself a little special, especially this year. My 21st birthday happens to be 10-10-10 this year. If that's not a good omen, then I don't know what is! The only bad part is that is falls on a Sunday, so I can't get my new license. :(
Saturday night is my birthday party, which is Sex and the City themed. I know, you're all shocked! haha. I cannot wait!! I have the most incredible group of friends ever. There is no doubt in my mind.
Part of me is ecstatic to turn 21, i mean duh. But the other part of me can't find where all the time went. Life is not at all what i thought it would be just 3 years ago. When I was 18, i couldn't wait to move out, go far, far, far away to college, and just start a fabulous new life. Well, i did get to move out, but to Huntington. Not exactly far away, but it was away. The next year I found myself in an awesome new job...and moving back home. Don't get me wrong, i love my parents and being home, but there is just something about living on your own during this time in life. It just makes no sense for me right now.
However, purchasing the Nissan Juke makes sense to meeee. :) its my newest obsession and it just came to the US! I'm pretty excited to go look at one and see what it's like. I'm seriously considering it.

Stop Ghosting Yourself

Let’s be honest. Do you know anyone who isn’t busy? Probably not.  WE ARE ALL BUSY. Kids, spouses, pets, jo bs, extracurriculars, birthday parties, vacations, sick/injured family, etc. We all have full plates, chores to do, and grocery orders to pick up!  I don’t like to start a blog post with tough love, but I think it’s necessary today!  Truthfully, if this hurts your feelings, you probably need to hear it. You are not too busy to take care of yourself. I’ll say it again. YOU are NOT too busy to take care of YOURSELF. I know you. You get lunches packed and kids off to school. You work hard at your job. You go to the grocery store, the post office, work the concession stand at the ball game. You come home, help with homework, cook dinner, give baths, and do the bedtime routine. Oh then, you pick up the house. Everyone around you is taken care of and happy as can be…but where does that leave you? How do you feel? If I had to guess, I’d say you are happy that your family is happy, but s

My Secret Sauce

I think you know by now that I am pretty candid about what’s going on in my life. Consequently, I am also candid about what’s going on in the lives of those around me.  So, here’s a quick update to bring everyone up to speed who maybe haven’t watched my stories and posts as diligently as I would like...  Matt has been experiencing a lot of pain, and recently had a surgery in an attempt to relieve that pain. The jury is still out on whether or not there is improvement because, much like when you do a simple home repair, you fix one thing, 3 more pop up. He also started a new chemo this week. It has definitely felt like a super steep uphill battle the past few months, but I will go more in depth with everything another day. Logan is almost 1. He is walking, talking, and destroying constantly. I am still working from home full time. Both a blessing and a curse for many reasons. I started a thing called 75 Hard, at which I initially rolled

Happy C-Section Awareness Month!

Image
I recently learned that April is Caesarean Section awareness month. I had never given it much thought, but now, having experienced it myself, I feel the need to celebrate the c-section mamas. In movies and TV shows, there is always that beautiful birth moment - you know the one. The crying, sweaty, exhausted mama feels she can’t go on. Then someone holds her hand and gives her the encouraging speech she needs for one last push. Just then, you hear the unmistakable sound of a newborn baby crying as they place him or her on the moms chest. *cue music* Now, I don’t know if that’s really how it goes or not because I never made it there!  My doctor knew Logan was going to be a big boy, and suggested that I schedule a c-section.  I thought to myself “noooo way! (That’s scary.) You are not taking my beautiful, made-for-movies moment away from me! (Also, I’m scared.) You don’t know what I’m capable of, lady! (Petrified of that option actually.) I’ve got this!!” You guys, I didn’t have it. I di
