That stings.

I had an interesting conversation last night. Without going into major details I feel like I need to get my feelings out. Pretty certain that all of my blog "readers" will know who this is about.

Apparently I am a bad mom who can't handle my child. And my husband is the one who has to do everything because I just can't handle it. Therefore, I shouldn't be allowed to babysit, ever.
This little ditty here wasn't even meant for me to have heard, but It slipped out in coversation that someone said this about me.

Most things I can just let roll in one ear and out the other. This one cuts a little deep. I went to sleep thinking about it and woke up thinking about it. I am certain there is no truth to this. Seriously, who says something like this? Hurt people, that's who. My dear sister always says that hurt people, hurt people. So much truth to this.  This is reason #1 why I have set boundaries with this person - because this person constantly puts me in a state of anxiety and hurt feelings. I have made a conscience effort to be nice and put things in the past but it seems as though i'm still being bashed behind my back when I have done nothing wrong. I am certain I have done nothing to deserve this trash talk.

SWW

Today I'm saying SO WHAT!

So what if I want to throw my can of green beans at the TV when I hear Jillian say "We're not straining our neck, the neck is not invited to this party this is all abs!!!!"

So what if I use a can of green beans as my weights for the 30DS. I'm halfway through, only 15 more days!

So what if I think my child is funnier than most adults I know. She had me laughing so hard the other night I almost wet myself. I realize how silly that sounds, but she seems to have the same sense of humor as her mother :) we both think our jokes are funnier than they really are.....

So what if I think it's annoying to listen about fantasy baseball, football, basketball, bad mintton ect. teams at work all day long? Just kidding, it's only fantasy baseball these days. Still annoying.

So what if I actually like doing laundry? I think it helps that our washer and dryer is in our closet in our bedroom. Still, kind of weird that I enjoy that chore.

Go time!!!!!!!!!

Hi there blog lovies! (all 12 of you :))

I'm starting Jillian Michaels 30 day shred. Tomorrow morning. I figure why not start on a random Wednesday morning? 4:15 is going to come waaaaaaay too early. BUT I know myself and I absolutely will not do it at night. After Halle goes to bed I usually catch up on my shows that are on the DVR from the night before.
Also, at 4:15 no one is awake to watch me make a fool of myself :)

I'm not brave enough to take a bare-it-all picture and post on here, but I will share my measurements.
*note, these may need updated as it did it as close as I could WITH my clothes still on so I'm going to do it again later in my skevvies*

-Right Thigh (also known as my roast beefs) : 23 1/2"
-Right Arm (that jiggles more than a bowl of jello) : 12 1/4"
-Waist @ my belly button (and no more sucking it in!) : 36"
-Hips around the largest part of my butt (baby got back, anyone?) : 41 1/4"

Weight, eh not real sure. I don't own a scale. I may go to the gym here at work sometime this week and steal a step on their super fancy scale.  What I DO know is that when I had my health assesment done at work on February 4th I weighed 157. I'm guessing that's still about the same.

Someone else here at work said that they would do the shred along with me. The punishment to help keep accountability is to change your Facebook profile picture to your "before" picture in your shorts and bra. It only has to be your profile picture for one hour on the day that you don't work out.

There we have it. I'll revisit this again in 30 days obviously. Now, tomorrow when I can't even get out of my chair at work, bear with me while I complain through my So what! Wednesday :)

Now excuse me while I go hide in embarassment because i've exposed myself all over this blog :)

SSMT Verse 5!

Week 5 already! Wow!!! I have SO enjoyed this!

"So then do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself.

Today  has enough trouble of its own." Matthew 6:34 NLT

SO WHAT!....Thursday?

So what if I missed SWW because I skipped work due to snow yesterday. It was amazing. I even took a nap!

So what if I have tried to order a pair of jeans online THREE times this week but am having a hard time going through with it because they are expensive? #firstworldproblems

So what if I am counting down the hours days until I get my hair did? WHY do I always wait so long? Silly.

So what if I was really snarky when someone tried to make our money business their business. For the record, it's totally inappropriate to ask someone how much their tax return was.

So what if I ate my weight in carbs for lunch today. It was SO GOOD!

So what if I am bored out of my mind at work today. It's so slow and I don't even have a book to read :/

So what if I don't have much on my mind for this edition of so what....Thursday?

SWW!!!!!

HELLO! And welcome to Masterpiece Theater. I am your host, Vincent Twice, Vincent Twice.
...............so what if my mother is the only one that is going to laught at that......................

So what If I accidentally skipped a few weeks of this? Whoopsie.

So what if when I go to the bathroom at work I always tear off the first 5 sheets of toilet paper and throw it away before getting my own. You know the person before you had their hands all over the TP before you walked in. Ick.

So what if I am really looking forward to some more snow!? That means some time off work, score!
     and so what if I am going to go negative on my vacaion time because of it?

So what if I am AGAIN annoyed by someone's uncanny ability to tell the second I take off my bra and then show up at my door. I've put this in two other SWW posts..but it happened again. Can't a girl let her girls out without being interrupted!?

So what if I fed Halle spaghetti-o's for dinner twice this week. Why do I always feel guilty for feeding her "bad food"??? Sometimes I get to the point where i'll feed her whatever she wants just so she will eat. She usually throws everything on the floor.

So what if I went back to buying some baby food so Halle will eat veggies? She is obsessed with the Plum Organics pouches and will eat whatever comes out of it. Spinach, peas & pear mix? Jokes on you, Halle!

So what if I went to bed without brushing my teeth last night...and had so much guilt about it that I got up 30 minutes later to brush. It was one of those "Oh, shit, I've turned into my mother" moments.

So what if I iron Halle's clothes more than I should? I used to make fun of my sister for doing this with her boys stuff...and now I do it. Darn it!

So what if I contemplated spending every last cent of my bonus that is coming my way in March? Reality kicked in and I decided to pay off some debt instead. Darn it again!

So what if I realized this morning that I feel 100 times better when I eat healthy for 3 meals a day. I mean, DUH. People say this all the time...but for some reason when I was in the bathroom at work washing my hands this morning something just clicked.

So what if 2 of my so whats happened in the bathroom today? Hmm, that's odd.

Think about it Tuesday....

*** Just need to rant for a minute.....feel free to move on if you don't want to read :) *****


If you were in an accident and didn't have your child properly buckled in, how would you feel if something happened to them!?!

I have seen multiple pictures lately of people's kids in the car who were improperly buckled. If the child's straps aren't even on their shoulders or the clip is all the way at the bottom of the carseat, how safe are they? NOT safe at all!!!!!!!!! If you are rear ended, where do you think that child is going to go???
Obviously this is something that I feel strongly about and it sickens me when people post pictures of their kids "being cute" or whatever in their seats and they are barely even buckled in their seats properly.
I've received multiple stares and comments from people about what kind of coat I choose to put Halle in. Dressing her in a heavier fleece coat and using a blanket over her in her carseat is what we choose to do. Heavy coats do not allow a car seat to properly buckle. I would rather my daughter be safe in the car than be a little chilly on the 2 second walk from the car to the house. I would never forgive myself if we were in an accident and she flew out of her seat because of my negligence.



Thanks, and have a nice day :)
