Friday Wrap-up

I can't believe it's Friday. This week flew by faster than a hummingbird.

I finally got my solar screens put up! And, they look really good!
Next on my list... get a dryer booster installed, plant a tree in the backyard, plant my tulips in December for the springtime, and get storm doors put in on the front and back door. I'll probably do the back door first. I think the dogs would like to be able to look in and I'd like to be able to look out.


So, that's probably the next thing I will do.
But, the screens look really nice and they have white gridwork on them, so it stands out and matches really well with my white stone front.

My plan is to make the government pay ME money because I will have the most efficient home on the planet!!!

Last night, Bri and I went over to see my neighbor because used to work with her at Children's Courtyard.

Anyways, long story short, she has two children from a previous marraige who's dad pays her child support. Then, she has an 8 month old baby from her boyfriend who pays for her 4 bedroom, 2 bath, 2 car garage house. He also pays for her to have a nanny who comes in Monday thru Friday to teach her 8 month old Spanish, clean the house, do the laundry, put up holiday decorations, etc. She doesn't work, doesn't pay any of her bills, told me how her water bill last month was 500.00 because she couldn't figure out how to program the sprinkler system.
Then, she asked if I was married and I said no. She said, "Great! We can be single Mom's together!"

I just stood there. There were really no words to say back to that.
Single Mom? Are u kidding? Do you know what it truly feels like to be a single Mom?
She has a better life than most married woman!!!! And, she through the single card Mom at me. OMG.
Really, I'm going to leave that one alone.

My grandma passed away last night. It was for the best though. I think she waited for my Dad to get home from Vegas. We got to say goodbye to her. She wasn't really awake but it was great for Bri to see the end of life. We prayed for her to go to heaven to be with my grandpa ("grump"). Bri held her hand and told her she loved her.
Then, when we were walking out, she was sniffling and she said, "I miss Grim".... and I laughed because she hadn't passed away yet... then, she got mad at me because I shouldn't be laughing at a time like this!
I told her she was right.

27 Weeks Pregnancy Update

27 weeks today. Is this the third trimester or not?!? Some websites say it is, some says 28 is. So, I'm not too sure. Weight Gain:  33.3 lbs total. Only half a pound of away from what I gained with Jamyson and I still have 13 weeks left (waaaahhhh.....) I feel huge. I am huge! It's harder to walk and my feet hurt now, lol. Exercise:  I'm still walking but I cut back last week and only did 14.7 miles. I broke the 200 miles for the year for the "run the year 2017"! However, the more I walk, the more I eat and the more weight I gain (eek)! Cravings/Diet:  I've been craving lemon lime gatorade. Weird right?! It's delicious. I've also been getting reece's blasts from Sonic. They are so good! I threw in a cooke dough blizzard from dairy queen. That was delicious and not helping with my weight gain. Morning Sickness: Still no morning sickness but I'm still taking 2 diclegis every night. Sleep:  Didn't nap as much last week. Just didn...

Our Experience with Covid 19

I'm writing to share our experience with Covid-19. With the reopening of the lockdown, many new cases are flooding the world. My husband is the Regional Sales Manager at Century 21 Judge Fite in Rockwall. He has been in real estate for the past seven years. He is an amazing realtor and even better manager. I am very proud of him and I stand behind him no matter what. Saturday July 5th is started feeling ill after a work out. He had recently joined Legends Fit in Rockwall and started a program where he had to lose 25lbs or 6.9% body fat in 6 weeks and he would get a free membership for the year. After 3 weeks and a very strict diet and workout, he had lost close to 20 lbs and 5.3% body fat. He started running a fever Saturday afternoon and felt very fatigued. No real respiratory symptoms and his pulse ox never dropped below 98 percent. His heart rate was double his resting heart rate. He tested on Monday morning and received word Tuesday around 5:30pm that he was pos...

Ashton's Birth Story-VBAC

I started this last pregnancy journey with the goal of finishing my second VBAC. Here's the story (So that I never forget any of my children's birth, I have documented each one's stories)... Around 4pm on Thursday August 1, 2019, I went into the hospital. I was having irregular contractions, dilated to 2 cm and 50% effaced. I was 39 weeks and 3 days pregnant.  Here is a photo: I am almost 6 feet tall and had gained nearly 50 lbs. Most of which I gained in the first and second trimester. I continued to workout this whole pregnancy in hopes that my body would bounce back quicker. Time will tell. So, my doctor came in around 5:30pm and said he was going to do the foley cervical dilation balloon again since that worked with Elizabeth. So, they inserted the foley balloon which is extremely painful because I have a tilted cervix which apparently hides behind my spine. He tried to do it with a tool and ended up having to do it manually with his hands.  Then, I ...
