Week Recap

Let's see what we got did...


Get the house completely cleaned and organized!

  • Monday - Kitchen and dining room
  • Tuesday - Living room and entry hall
  • Wednesday - Kamden's room
  • Thursday - Master Bedroom (this may be bumped by a day as I may be working)
  • Friday - Bathrooms
(All of these things got done, but it was all in one day...TODAY)
Get Christmas totes back to storage
Get into the gym three two one time - I made 2 of my 3 days.  Jeff was at drill all day today and I spent the day cleaning.  That counts as a workout, right?
Take measurements/weight progression
Finish reading current book and read at least one more - I'm about 5 chapters away from finishing my second book, so I'm going to go ahead and cross this one off too.

24 weeks and a lot of thoughts...

Well, here I am...24 weeks pregnant and looking happy.  Between rounds of crying...I AM happy.  I enjoy feeling Baby K's movements and taps.  I love feeling those things, but sometimes the reminder of the sweet baby growing inside me is more bitter than sweet.  I was talking with my mother the other night and I said, "With no fluid, I'm not supposed to feel the baby much if at all.  I've felt this baby move every day for over a week now.  That has to mean something good right???   I mean, if it doesn't mean something good, then it's all just a cruel joke and extremely unfair." Of course, as I've said before, I'm not giving up so long as there is a heartbeat to be seen and movement to be felt from this child.  I know that even if there is a 1:1,000,000 chance that there is still THAT chance that s/he could be fine.  However, the longer that I carry this sweet miracle, the more the reality settles in that I'll likely not ever see this child...

Not So Extreme Couponing

I have been delving deeply into the world of couponing, hoping that I can save a few dollars here and there on needs for our family.  I still have a long way to go in learning all the ins and outs of it all, but I have learned a few things.  Some are pretty common sense, but some I'd never thought of before. Where you live will dictate how well you can coupon.   There are more places than not that do NOT do the double or triple coupons, so the chances of being able to get a good stockpile going like you see on TV may not be realistic for you.  Celebrate the small victories and know that every dollar saved helps. ALWAYS shop with a list.   It will not only save you money, because you won't be needlessly buying things that you either already have at home or rarely if ever use, but it will save you a LOT of time.   Don't buy it just because you have a coupon.  'Nuff said.  Unless it practically makes the item free, if you don't immediately need ...

Mental Illness is Just That...Illness

I don't think I'll ever understand the stigma that still surrounds mental illness. I am an insulin dependent diabetic.  If someone finds out my blood sugar is too high or that I left my insulin at home, they are immediately panicked and I am flooded with questions about what we need to do or how they can help.  Same is true of anyone who receives a cancer diagnosis, a blood pressure or heart related diagnosis or any other number of things that could be mentioned here. Why is mental illness so vastly different?  Why is someone labeled as "crazy" or "disturbed" because of an imbalance of chemicals in their brain?  Why is having depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, coping with self harm or suicidal thoughts so taboo?  Because people think that only "certain types" of people deal with those type of disorders?  Maybe putting it in a little perspective would help. When I went into first grade, I started having panic and anxiety att...
