Not Dead

ok, so first of all, i went to the doctor for my first visit, nothing much really, kinda boring, the dr. is a bit sarcastic for my likings, so we'll see, I might need to find a new doctor...idk...but according to them I am about 16 weeks pregnant right now, but I have an ultrasound next week to verify that...I feel great most of the time, I actually have been more than just existing the last few days...lol...I have acutally been productive...I know can you believe it?! lol oh well :) anyways, I've been finishing up the stuff to get ready for our garage sale we are suppose to have next weekend...and cleaning my house, doing laundry, all that fun stuff...

This weekend, we are going to Iowa to visit my family, and friends, and...get some Jarsma doughnuts, because NOTHING around here even comes CLOSE...and go to Fiesta Cantena, I know I probably spelled those names wrong, but I don't care :) the main thing...I know where they are...and have been wanting both of those for a LONG time now! So it sounds werid, I know, but I am looking forward to this weekend, for the food as well! oh and because Tom has Monday off and we get to spend an extra day in Iowa as well...so it should be a fun weekend! Well I guess thats all for now, just thought I would post an update, since I've kinda been out of it lately...I will get better at this blogging thing soon hopefully :)

bordem

Ok, so I know, I know...I haven't blogged for awhile...mostly because who wants to hear about my boring days lately of sleeping, waking up, maybe eating breakfast, crocheting, browsing the internet, oh and lots of fox news, the olympics, and baby stories...lunch, more of the same from the morning, maybe take a shower and get out of my pjs at some point during the day, then make dinner, hang out w/Tom, go to bed, and then start all over the next day! B-O-R-I-N-G!!!!! LOL anyways today I did get quite a bit done...i went to the store for Tom, returned a movie, got lots of laundry done, got my closet cleaned out and clothes sorted for a garage sale and stuff...so anyways...but seriously, I can't believe I'm even blogging about this...lol mostly cuz I feel bad for not writing anything for so long!

Not much is new, last weekend we had a family reunion in WI w/Tom's family, and the weekend before that, we went to the baptism for Boogie and Miguel, I do have pictures, I actually just remembered that...lol...ugh, I don't feel like myself lately! Anyways I am working on a cute baby blanket that I am crocheting, I will post a picture when i am done, and since I don't do much, it should only be a week or so until I'm done, lol. My first OB appointment is a week from today, so I am looking forward to that...ok, well if you made it this far, you must be just as bored as I am..lol :)

BATHROOM REVEAL!!!

FINALLY...lol...BATHROOM REVEAL!!!

Well, HERE IT IS...lol....yay!!! its been a long time coming, but it is done and looks FANTASTIC! I have such a talented, handy husband! Remember this wasn't just a bathroom redo, this whole thing was created from the building of walls...everything! Oh and I realize that we are still missing an outlet cover next to the mirror, oh and the ceilings are aprox. 9 ft. tall, and have crown molding around the top, despite the fact that I didn't really get any pictures that far out...sorry...Anyways...we love it, and hope you do too! :)

Girl Fights...long post

Ok, so I was going to wait till tonight to blog about this, but I am too upset to wait...I was out and about, and Tom called and said that I should come home because there were 3-4 cops in front of our house and a bunch of people that we don't know, and the neighbor's daughter, who I guss is 17 or 18 years old, and they were all yelling and screaming at each other!

I was headed home anyways, so I finished up what I was doing, and was on my way home. I was getting close and Tom called again to tell me what he knew because the neighbor(who's daughter was involved) he came over to talk to Tom...which I will get to in a bit...but I pulled up and there was a tall black man, and 2 black women and a little girl...come to find out, the 2 women, one was the mother of the little girl, and the other is the grandmother, although DOES NOT look old enough to be a grandmother, but whatever...as I am pulling up in front of the other neighbors house because I couldn't even get close to where I normally park. I guess the mother had went back down the street, come to find out, they live down the street from us, but so it was just the grandmother, the little girl and the tall guy...as I started walking towards my house, the cop said he wanted to ask the little girl some questions, so he got like maybe 10 seconds talking to her and the mother came back down the street as fast as she could, because the grandmother had hollered down the street to her...the mother gets down here, and grabs the little girl, and starts yelling at the cop about how, thats her daughter, and she doesn't want the cops talking to her, etc. etc...the mother was EXTREMELY loud! Meantime, the neighbor's daughter is sitting on the porch w/her dad talking to some other cops.

So come to find out what happened, roughly is that the black ladies and the little girl were walking down the sidewalk I guess, and started beating up the neighbor girl...why, you ask? I wondered the same thing...but then I heard the loud woman saying something about a dog, which the neighbor girl has 2 dogs. Then said something about how the neighbor girl hit the grandmother with a cell phone, etc. So much drama, but thats not even the BEST part yet!!! believe it or not....

So between all the cops, and getting stories, they decided to arrest the grandmother...the daughter LOST HER MIND!! I mean screaming, how are you going to take my momma to jail when she(pointing to the neighbor) hit my momma w/a cell phone, her dog bit my 6 yr old!! How you gonna lock my momma up, shes got a heart condition..(she obviously didn't have a heart condition enough to not beat someone up, kickin them on the ground,etc)!! I dont know, but thats just what I heard at first, but she went on and on and on, and on some more LOL...all while the grandmother is on the way to the police car, yelling for the mother to shut up and go home before she got "locked up" as well...ugh...stupid girls!! ok...sooo, the REAL KICKER?!?!?!.....

THE NEIGHBOR GIRL IS PREGNANT!!!! AND THE MOTHER SAID SHE WAS PREGNANT AS WELL!!! I couldn't tell if she was, she was wearing a baggy shirt, and she was mean mugging Tom and I the way it was, so I didn't want to stare lol...she was already cussing and yelling to the cops because we were outside...lol...hey I was just watering my flowers, and when there is 4 cops in our yard w/all those people, I think we have the right to be on our porch, unless the cops asked us to go inside or something...but anyways, so thats the drama for the afternoon...now...my opinion on all this!...

Ok, so this hits me to the core, because both of these women are pregnant, and they can't even keep themselves out of trouble, and OBVIOUSLY have NO brains in their head w/a 6 yr old girl, and beating someone up in front of her, LET ALONE the babies in their bellies!!! Then yesterday we saw a girl taking a smoking break from her job outside, and VERY pregnant, last week I saw pictures of a group of girls online, and they are drinking alcohol, and one of the girls was pregnant as well! I DON'T GET IT!! I am so sick and tired of seeing irresponsible pregnant women! I'm really sorry to turn this into a rant, but I have had more than enough of watching women with their pregnant bellies, having the blessing of expecting a child, and all that, that happiness brings, and watching them treat those 9 months as if it was nothing, and no different than any other, as if there wasn't a little person growing inside them! UGH I swear, they just don't get it, they just don't know what they have...

WHEW! ok i'm done...lol this is SUPER long and Congrats if you made it this far! LOL thanks for reading though, it makes it a little better to get it out! :)
