Weekend Review

Hey girls! So I've been a busy busy bee for sure which explains the lack of posts. So lets start with the house- We are currently in escrow on a house we LOVE and it couldn't be more perfect, so we've been trying hard not to get our hopes up until closing day :) It's been a lot of back and forth with our lender and underwriters and our realtor and the seller. But things are coming along, and if all goes well, by the end of this month, we should be homeowners, EEK! So excited. Tell me this garden isn't adorable?! My mamacita will have to show me how to do roses- I have NEVER gardened, but have always wanted a little garden

This weekend was my dear friend Lisa's wedding. I left Troy with Nick and got plenty of text pics of my little man being what he is good at being - ADORABLE! I missed them both so much. Call me lame, but I don't like being away from my hubbs for more than a night. It was so much fun being with just girls for the weekend though. I saw 2 of my really good friends that Lisa and I grew up with and crashed with them in their hotel room on Saturday night after the wedding. So much fun!

I think I did a major number on my liver this weekend, so I will be skipping the adult beverages for oh say, a week or two. And I will be back at the gym :) I'm testing out the little daycare there while I workout.

Bachelorette BS

So lets discuss Mr. Bentley from the Bachelorette, shall we? What the heck is up with this dude?! All his smug comments on how he was never attracted to Ashley and how he was hoping it was going to be "the breaktaking Emily". All I have to say is thank God Emily wasn't the Bachelorette because if he was the douche he's being now to my St. Emily, I would really be upset.

So yeah, he told Ashley he's leaving and he left. He was PLAYING her! And she fell for it! I'm sorry, but this is showing that girls are so easy to play....okay, okay, sometimes we ARE puddy in guys hands, but this McDouchster was ridiclous. He was constantly teling the camera how he doesn't care about Ashley. Oh and the kicker? How he says at the end that he's gonna make Ashley cry, but he hopes his hair looks okay.

And whats up with him telling Ashley it was all his daughter that made him want to come home, when he told the cameras it has NOTHING to do with him missing his daughter. I can't wait till the reunion when we get to hear what Ashley says. OMG, and what the heck was up with the hornball hugging Ashley and saying they were in a perfect position to " start something"?! EWWWWW what a slime ball. Ugh, I want to get in the octagon with this mo fo.
On a side note - St. Emily is on the market again. Her and Bachelor Brad are dunzo. From what I hear, he had a MAYJA anger issue and it made her hesitant to move to Texas. I want HER to be on the next Bachelorette.

On another side note - I am really digging JP. He seems the most genuine and Im happy he got some one on one time with her

Motivation Monday

Okay, so...

So last weeks workout updates

So let me 'splain... As you've read, T Money had shots on Wednesday, which left him a cranky/sick boy the rest of the week. I was way too exhausted to get to the gym after waking up every 2 hours every night, so I met with my p/t, Miss Jill, and called it good. I did level 2 each time which is where I feel comfortable enough to do the moves effectively and with proper form and still be challenged.

This week the workout plane is the same as last (sans Shred). On Thursday, I am actually hitting the gym with my BFF Jenni

We are going to be doing some Zumba and shakin what our mommas gave us. Haven't tried the craze known as Zumba? Try it!

So that will be my cardio for Thursday. Besides Monday, it's supposed to be gorgeous out (FINALLY! All we've had is rain), so I'm planning on an outdoor run for Tuesday. And guess what?! I am going to be signing up for a 8 mile run for the end of August, EEEK! I'm pretty nervous. That's the longest distance I've done in an event. The furthest I've ran in an event thus far is 6.2 miles! So I will be needing to train for this little 8 miler ASAP!
Thank you girls so much for the support with Troy. He is doing MUCH better and the doc said he is absolutely 110% a-ok. Just a more extreme reaction to the shots than last time.

Test

In life we go through many tests - math tests, driver liscence test, testing of patience, test of faith, testing of limits... I feel like lately I have been put through a ringer of tests. My sweet boy is THE test and God is the test giver.

I pray for patience, and in a way I believe God puts me situations that I will have to gain patience...I will have to LEARN patience. I have never been a patient person. I want what I want and I want it at that moment. I didn't want to have to be patient with someone elses' needs. I was never someone who could be patient when there was a screaming baby on a plane - I wanted the mom to shsh that child up ASAP. Well, the tables have turned, and I have more patience for that screaming baby and mother. I have sympathy and understanding. For the past week, it's either a great day with Troy, or he's an absolute mess. The shots have amplified it. He was not this bad with his 2 month shots. Today was a horrible day. Absolutely terrible. Every time I tried to give him his bottle, he's push it out with his tongue as if I was trying to posion him. He didn't want to lay down, he didn't want to sit, didn't want to stand (assisted of course), he didn't want to play, he didn't want to NAP and if he did nap (the 2 times he did...) it was for 15 minutes and after 45 minutes of bloody murder screaming. He's been pooping regualary, so that isn't an issue, he isn't running a fever, so that it isn't an issue...but he is waking up around midnight every night for the past couple of days and will continue to wake up every 2 hours until it's time to get up for the day. Patience is a virtue, this too shall pass, and all those other good things are being repeated CONSTANTLY in my mind. I love my little man dearly, mama just wants some normalcy again.

Moving on to my next "test". Test of faith. When someone insults you as a human being over and over again, you want nothing more than to either, A) KICK THEIR ASS to a bloody pulp, B) Confront them and scream obscenities and THEN continue with option A, or C). Put their name on blast on Facebook. BUT, before you have to do any of these things, you have to do the adult thing and think of consequences. You have to have FAITH that they will get theres...and if your a religious person, believe that one day they will have to stand in front of God and answer to every evil sinful word and action they have said/committed. My faith is being tested. Without going into too much of the details, there is an EX family member that continues to hurt and insult every single person in my immediate family - my hubbs and I included. I don't have the PATIENCE for people like this. I was/am not the person to turn the other cheek. I want to sock them in their cheek. But I have to TRUST that all will be right in the end. I have to have FAITH that the judge of all judges, will hold this person accountable for their actions and anything you could do, can't come close.

Yup, a "Deep" post, but I had to vent. The end...

SHOTS CAN SUCK IT

Seriously ya'll, my poor little dude is hating those shots. Last night after he woke up from his last nap of the day, he was feeling warm, but I chalked it up to him just having blankets on him and a fleece onesie (it was raining and cold here yesterday). So I gave him his bath in a lukewarm water just in case he was spiking a fever. Well that's when it started. My normal fishy baby that loves the water started freaking out 5 minutes in. Almost as if he was in pain. It broke my heart, so I scooped him outta the tub, wrapped him in a towel and just rocked him. He didn't want his bottle or his binky. He was still feeling warm so I took his temp. Twice, just to be sure. 1st time it was 100.2 and then second time was 100.9. So he had spiked a bit of a fever, but its to be expected (I called the pediatrician and he confirmed it was fine). He was up all night (every 2 flippin hours) just being fussy. I felt so bad and I just held him and calmed him down every time he'd wake up, and he'd be fine. Twice he was hungry, but I think he ate one of those times out of comfort.

Today he isn't as feverish, but he is still fussy and just not feeling well. Can I tell you I HATE shots. I believe it's a necessity to keep him protected, but the after effects? Blah! On top of that, I think the boy is still a bit backed up if ya know what I mean. He grunts and grunts and his tummy tightens like he is trying to poop, but nothing happens. So I'm going to switch his formula and see if it helps.

Keep T Money in your thoughts please. No one likes to be feeling blah.

It's Pouring!

...and it's June 1st! Ummm, hello? What is wrong with this picture, Mother Nature. Global Warming my foot!

Never in a milion years would I ever think I'd be excited about poop. Troy hadn't pooped in 2 days and he'd be grunting and his tummy was so tight all 2 days. Then 12:01pm hit...and so did the blowouts. Hallelujah, the boy is pooping!! Im sure his tummy feels so much better, cause I know I am thrilled! Today he had his 4 month doctor appointment. My boy is growing like a linebacker. His stats:

15lbs and 14 ounces - 75th% range for weight
26 1/4 for height - 90% for height
17 1/2 inches for head circumference - 80% range

And of course he had his shots...broke my heart!

This was PRE shots. Trust, his face was not like that when we left.
