Day Four Blog Challenge

Top 5 Pet Peeves.

1. People who cannot follow through with what they say they will.

2. People who cannot tell time. It drives me bonkers when people cannot show up on time or know they are going to be late but don't call or text to let you know.

3. People who cannot control they rambunctious, bratty children in public.

4. Bad Drivers!!!

5. Liars. When I ask someone a question I expect an honest answer, even if that is 'I would rather not talk about it/that.'

So these are my pet peeves. I would say the second one I listed is probably my number ONE pet peeve!

Day Three Blog Challenge

Where would you like to be in 10 years?

In 10 years, I will be 33, my husband will be 34, and our daughter will be 11. I hope that we are in our own home, no more renting! I hope to be able to have my husband working from home on our business. I hoep for our business to be very successful. I hope that my daughter is as happy as she is now. I just hope that my family is happy, healthy, and looking forward to each new day ahead of us.

Right now, we have so much going on in life that its really hard to dream about 10 years from now. I want so many things from life that I can't wrap my head around it when it currently feels like its under water.

Day One Blog Challenge

Current Relationship or if single, discuss being single.

I am currently married to a wonderful man named Bobby. We married 7.14.2008 on our 15 month anniversary. I love being married to him, he makes my life so much better. He may not understand why I tend to be so emotional or why I end up taking everything so personally but he loves me and just deals with the crazy emotions I send out. As I say, he knew what he was getting into before him married me. We started dating April 2007 and by July I was moving in. He proposed on February 1st, 2008. He was so fricken sweet. He was pretty nervous though, he had his speech saved as a draft of a text message just in case he got tongue tied.

Here is the speech he gave, I love it so I wanted to share it.

"From the beginning there was something about you that lead me to you, and even though it took me awhile to make us official, I was yours from the first time we met. Your intelligence is what made me reach out to you, your beauty is what made me want you more when we met. Your determination is what made us a couple. Your heart is what made me yours. Your my everything, my first thought when I wake up, my worry when im not there, my love when your near and my hope when we're apart from one another. Your the one I want to be with forever. Even though we're different, we always find a way to get through everything. And now, I can not see my life without you. You make me smile constantly, feel like i've never felt before."


I am so blessed to have him in my life. He is my everything and I don't know where I would be without him. I am blessed that he chose me to spend the rest of his life with and make a family with me.

I love you, Baby!

What am I supposed to do?

What am I supposed to do when I need time to be alone but I don't have anywhere to go? I mean seriously, I dont have any friends to talk to, no one else that I care to know the whole story, and no space that can be closed off so that I can be alone. I am overly emotional, because I HATE living with my parents- frankly they suck to be this close together. They are fine really whenever I needed someone to take Kaitlynn, they are more than willing, and fine to have the occassional dinner with but dang living with them is destroying everything. The biggest and only problem is Kaitlynn is my daughter and I say what goes, what is acceptable to be around her, and what discipline and rules are used. I have no where else to go, but I just can't seem to make the best of this place. I cry so often now and it sucks. So here I am writing out any amount of frustration I can but really it wont help much at all. I just want to be on my own again with my family. My husband has been wonderful throughout all of this thankfully!

I am lucky that I have been able to stick with my diet because usually by now I would be knee deep in ice cream, chocolate, anything sweet! So, on that note, so far so good. Right now, other than my wonderful husband and gorgeous daughter, I hate life. But of course that just makes me feel like a terrible wife and mother. Life would be so much easier if we had our own place.

What am I going to do now?

Well, wait for it! I will tell you!

Anyways, I want to blog more. I want to get into blogging and just being able to write more, somehow. So I have decided to do my own version of the 30 day challenges for bloggers.. I have created a list of 60, yes 60, questions.. challenges.

I am going to do a 60 day challenge. I am also going to post my 60 day challenge so that if anyone else would like to use it, they can. My plan is to get it all typed up so that either this Friday or Saturday I can start.

My personal exciting news..

It may not be exciting to many but I now weigh in at 291! I have not weighed that in over 2 years.. When my husband I and started dating I weighed in at 221. I was a size 16/18. I was happy and comfortable in my own skin. By the time our wedding came around in June 2008 (started dating April 2007) I weighed in at a whopping 288. Its sad to go back and look at how fast my weight just flew up. Ugh! Come May 2009, I am pregnant with a son I would lose at 12 weeks and I weighed in at 297. Even more depressing. Ugh! I weighed 294 when I got pregnant with my daughter September 2009. My highest weight during that pregnancy was 326- ridiculous but it was okay at that time because it was for baby. After I gave birth I weighed 313.. June 2010. At the beginning of 2011 I weighed 306 and fluctuated forever between that and about 310.. Since the beginning of the year I have now lost 15 pounds and have 96 more to go. I know I can keep up the good work and get it done but I know that one day at a time is the best way to go.

I'm a follower... :)

So, I've finally joined MyFitnessPal. I may not have a scale but that doesnt mean I cant track my food and exercies. If I follow the calorie goal it gave me and exercise a minimum of three times a week, I should still lose weight. I hope that I can stick with this and lose the weight I really want too. I would love to lose all 98 pounds I plan to but as long as I fit into a size 14 pants again I dont care. I think my biggest thing is snacking and not exercising like I should. Its hard with Kaitlynn and the current living situation but I should still be okay. I want to do better and be better and lose this damn weight. I know I can do it. I just have to stick to it.

I hope my motivation keeps us this time!

A vent that is much needed for me!

So hubs and I had to take a hit and move in with my parents. We have only been here and week and things are really sucky! I hate being here more than I hate anything else in life. Kaitlynn doesn't listen for crap anymore to me, she listens to her daddy. Her grandparents dont listen to me about the rules I have in place for MY daughter. I cannot wait to get the F outta here. I want my family back. I want my life back. I do all the grocery shopping and at least 85% of the cooking for 8 people. I am told that asking for the courtesy of dont touch my things without telling me is rude and not right. We share a large room with Kaitlynn which really isnt that bad. I would move into a one bedroom if I could find one to allow it! There is only 1 bathroom for 8 people. I just hate it here. I want out but I cant. We have made the tough choice of me not working right now because no one can listen to me when it comes to Kaitlynn. Ugh!

But things are at least going well with hubs like always! He is so wonderful! I couldn't handle this without him!

Anyways, thats all for now!
