How do I feel today, you ask?

Proud that I've kept up with my workout for the entire week.
Proud that I've kept up with my diet for the entire week.
Annoyed with my husband, who seems' to forget everything.
Stressed about money, like always.
Happy that I have healthy children.
A little hungry.

A lot tired. I have a 12 month old that still doesn't sleep through the night. I'm always tired.

Sad, that my babies are growing so fast.
Proud that I've been smoke-free for so long!! Yaaa me!
Lonely. I feel like it's just me and my kids.
Lonely, really missing my girlfriends.
Great full that I have a great sister that's my best friend!
Excited that we may go sledding today!
Guilty that ate a little too many carbs yesterday...remember that diet I told you about?
Energized from all of my exercising!

Until next time, don't forget to floss!

Five Question Friday!!

I have really started looking forward to this blog carnival! Everyone should head over to Mama M’s and join in the fun!

1. What's your "comfort food"?

If I can only pick one, I’d have to say mashed potatoes! Home made of course, by my hubby. When he makes them, I pretend not to notice how much butter he spoons into them, before he mashes them up.

2. Do you send Thank You's (handwritten or email)?

I always try to remember, but I’m terrible at it.

3. If you had to be trapped in a TV show for a month, which show would you choose?

I’d have to say Lost. I want to this smoke monster for myself!

4. What is your favorite online recipe site?

well a lot of the time, I’ll just google what I’m looking for. I am partial to recipezarr.com though, because I like that they have the nutritional information on each recipe.

5. If you had to choose: "Friends" or "Seinfeld"?

I absolutely hate Seinfeld…it depresses me! On the other hand I have seen every episode of Friends there is…about a million times each, and I still laugh! I could watch Friends all day!

 

Until next time, don’t forget to floss!!!

It's MY gray hair, and I'll cry if I want to!

Yep! That's right! A stinking gray hair was hiding on my head!
How did it get there? Well maybe it has something to do with the fact that I'm almost 30. My hubbby thinks I'm being silly, but that single little gray hair really made me feel sad...and old.

So, yes honey. It's my (single, solitary, itty-bitty) gray hair...and I'll cry if I want to!

Until next time, don't forget to floss!!

Not me Monday!

 

Everyone should head on over to Mckmama’s place and join in the “Not Me” fun!!

It was certainly not me that ate about 15 Dove chocolate promises today because “tomorrow I start my diet”! Nope not me!

It also wasn’t me that let Prince L run around naked tonight after I took off his diaper! Nope! There’s no way I’d risk letting my 12 month old pee on the carpet! (which he did!!!)

And it’s definitely not me that can not get enough of the Jersey Shore!! No way would I watch that trash!

Until next time, don’t forget to floss!!

5 question Friday..wait what day is it?

It seems I’m always late! Better late than never! Head over to Mama M’s place and check it all out!

1. If you could bring one character to life from your favorite book, who would it be?

I’d love to say a character from some classic novel, but honestly I only read fluffy books. So I’d have to say I would love to bring Noah from the Notebook to life, especially  if he were a real person and we could talk about his love for his dear wife Allie
2. Where did you get your very first kiss?

I believe I was in 6th grade at the Roller rink.

3. How did you welcome in the New Year?

We were with family, playing the Wii, eating junk and having fun!

4. What is your favorite Beatles song?

I hate to admit it but I am not a big Beatles fan…I know, right!!
5. Donuts: Overrated, underrated, or 'bout right?

Wayy overrated! Kinda gross actually!

Until next time, don’t forget to floss!!!

Counting my blessings of the year.

As the hours pass by on the eve of the new year, I wonder what this coming year has in store for my family and I.

We were truly blessed this year, with the birth of Prince L. He is the light of my days, and the laughter inside of me!! I feel so very lucky to have him.
We were truly blessed to have such a smart/funny/beautiful/creative/caring/loving daughter! She is without a doubt, one of my favorite people!
We were truly blessed to have jobs! I know quite a few people that had to wait in the unemployment line, and thankfully it wasn't either of us.
We were truly blessed to have found a bigger house, and pretty much right at the time it was needed.
We were truly blessed with our health! Not much more than a cold.
We were truly blessed with love...so much to go round!
We were truly blessed with soon to be new members of our family...will be gaining a brother-in-law in the coming year or so! Congrats to the happy couple!
We were truly blessed with friends. I love you all!!

XOXO

Hopefully the coming year will prove to be as wonderful as this one!!!
Until next time, don't forget to floss!

Five Question Friday

I love doing this blog carnival! Head on over to Mama M’s and join in the fun!

1. Which boygroup did you like most in your teens?

Well in my teens it was N’Sync. But when I was a tween….Oh man, I loved loved loved New kids on the block!!

2. Do you do Christmas cards, letters, photos, nuthin', all of the above?

This year I did family photo cards

3. If you could meet one celebrity who would it be and why?

If you asked me a year ago I would have without a doubt said Kenny Chesney. Now it would have to be Taylor Swift. I absolutely adore her and I think she is a great role model for young girls.

4. Favorite thing to cook with (i.e. stainless, non-stick, Dutch oven, microwave, debit card...or, perhaps, a cauldron, etc.)?

Oh this is easy…as a birthday gift last year I received Rachael Ray pots and pans…need I say more?

5. What is the one thing you wear the most, besides your unmentionables?

Sweats….or scrubs depending on the day!
