You're gonna talk about whaaat?

My weekend of bed rest has fallen flat and I have done almost nothing that resembled bed rest. Not to mention I have an informational speech due tomorrow on SIDS. I chose a topic that I feel too often goes unspoken because no one wants to discuss the possibility of a child dying.

My research has been filled with bountiful amounts of facts and misconceptions along with statistics and true life stories. But the saddest part is that this silent disease is something that is a reality for over 2,500 families a year.

Its not difficult for me to give this speech or to prepare for it. Because I am passionate about making more people aware of this issue. It is difficult however to try to give a face to so many families who suffer.

So while I am sick and supposed to be resting I will be giving a very passionately informative speech on this horrible topic. Wish me luck tomorrow y'all. Lord knows I'll need it.

I feel like someone should smack my hand

I caved! I had to. Doctors orders. Yours truly is on strict bedrest for 48 hours and then supposed to take it easy for 7 whole days... Let me rephrase that One whole week. With a 3 year old. School, oh and Work. Ummmm Yea. Anyone else see how this could be a bit of an issue??

Why? Because I have MONO! Ewww. I have had it before and they say it NEVER flares again. They Lied. It does. But its very uncommon when it happens and it is because I have a weak immune system as I lack a spleen.

So. I had to cancel the dinner party. Well I actually just rescheduled it. But still I feel like a big fat failure. I'm upset y'all. No one is upset with me and they all think my health is more important, but for me I feel bad.

So, here I am, sitting in bed, with my laptop on my legs, a sleeping toddler next to me, and my husband getting food.

This weekend = EPIC FAIL.

Oh well at least I can lounge around and read or watch movies... ALL WEEKEND LONG. The weather is supposed to be crap anyways so it works I suppose. But try not kissing the two loves of your life when they are sooo stinkin cute.

p.s. no this picture is not from today but it is the exact expression I have had all day when reminded that I am supposed to be resting.

Who's bright idea was this???

I think I made a mistake!!

Yours truly has planned her first ever dinner party. At my house. In 2 days. And I am getting sick. My house is a mess, I haven't gone Grocery shopping, I am beyond stressed out about it. And why?? Because all I have ever been a host too is childrens parties, baby showers, and Thats it... Literally.

I already know what I am making, Stuffed shells, cucumber salad, homemade bruschetta and everyone else is bringing sides too... I am nervous.

There will be around 15 people in my house and while some people don't find that nerve wracking I DO!

I will be fine... I need to breathe and then pass out for a nap. Call the hubbs and have him organize my mess... Oye...
Definitely feeling like this right now..... GAHHHHH

When I said I do, I meant that I will til the end of all time

Some girls believe in fairy tales, some believe in fate, I belive that the Lord above brought my Mushy to me.

Everygirl says "I have the best hubby in the world." And I am sure we all feel like we do... My husband is pure sweet awesomeness. He is my breath of fresh air, he is climbing into cold crisp soft cotton sheets in the summer time. He is seeing the first flower of spring, he is cold cumcumber water. He is more than i ever thought I deserve and more than I ever thought I'd find.

Mushy and I met in High school. He was dating someone and I was too. There was mutual attraction but we never acted on it. My boyfriend at the time swears now that he knew then that Mushy and I would end up together. According to him he said he just had that feeling... Mushy swears he had a huge crush on me. I didn't notice. Honestly I thought he was cute but thats as far as that went for me.

Flash forward to July 2008. Mushy and I becamse friends on Facebook and then started chatting. Our first text conversation started with me confusing him for another ex of mine named John and assuming that he knew exactly what I was talking about... When I figured out it wasn't my ex I thought it was funny... He told me that my and my at the time boyfriend weren't going to work out because it was long distance I was like yea whatever... We made plans to hang out with other friends. I woke up the very next day and broke up with my boyfriend. Why??? I don't really know but it was obvious that we were both not heading in the same direction. He told me I WAS GOING to move with him. There was no discussion on his part. So I broke it off. Next thing I know Me and Mushy dear were dating... If you had asked me back then if I thought we would be here, married and trying for babies, I would have said not likely. Its not that I didn't want that, I just didn't think it would happen.

He he truly is my rock. He spoils me and makes me feel like I am the most important thing in the world. I know this was off the wall and totally random but I have these moments that hit where I know how blessed I am to have him...

Uh uhhh you dun say dat word!!!

Wanna know what word?? DIET... Ugh just typing it out made me feel queasy.

But I am going to do it. Its not a big secret if you know me in real life that in the past year I have gained weight. Its been too easy to feel sorry for myself and sulk in my dismay, and therefore eating unhealthy crud and not exercising...

But enough is enough yall!!! I decided that I am going to change my eating habits, and my workout routine. I have actually devised a master plan. I've been plotting against my inner fat kid and let me tell you... I am actually excited.

I will jog on a treadmill @ least twice a week and ride a bike @ least twice a week to begin. I had a hip injury and havent been able to full on run since but I will hopefully get close.

I am going to cut out junk food and start eating healthier snacks/ meals. I'm a snacker, thats my biggest issue. I love snacks. But I will give up the unhealthy ones...

I know it will be hard, I will have slip ups, blah blah blah... But I can do this... I know I can...

Do you agree?? Is there anyone out there???
