A day late..

I'm a day behind on my 30 days. I will catch up tonight.

The reason I'm a day late? Not because I'm lazy or I forgot, but because I woke up Sunday morning feeling like complete death. I definitely thought I was coming down with the flu. I went to work despite feeling like that & just kept feeling worse. I went to the bathroom during my shift & realized I definitely have Mastitis. My boob was really sore & had red spots on it.

What is mastitis? Mastitis is an unpleasant complication of breastfeeding — one that happens quite frequently, especially within the first six months of nursing. It is the swelling and inflammation associated with an infection in the breast tissue and milk ducts. Mastitis is quite painful, and needs to be treated immediately by a doctor.


With that being said, it SUCKED/SUCKS. I had a fever of 101 last night and my head was pounding. Body was achy. Luckily my awesome OB called in a script for me & it helped after my second dose. I went to bed feeling like crap, but I woke up at 3am for feeding time & my body aches & fever disappeared. My boob is still really sore though. I hope this goes away fast!

Day 02 - A picture of you and the person you have been close with for awhile.

There are a few people I'm close with, but this is Keri. 

We worked at Carrabba's together. We moved in together. Met our boyfriends, now husbands at the same time. Was engaged within 2 months of each other. Her wedding was 7/11/09 & mine was 11/7/09. We were in each other's wedding. Now we have babies only 3 weeks apart. Love her.

I can't stand when....

I probably shouldn't be writing this because I know it's such a controversial issue, but I've decided I don't care & everyone has opinions.

A dear friend of mine is pregnant. She's my age. I suppose she either wasn't on birth control or she just wasn't careful. Anyways, we grew up together & we pretty much best friends in high school.

I had lunch with her today & she was talking about how her boyfriend was laid off from his job, but he hasn't been looking for another one. How they have no money saved up and her baby is due in February. They have NOTHING for this baby. She's on medicaid. She works full time and is trying to go to school.

I feel sorry for them.

Part of me doesn't though. I don't understand people who get pregnant & can't afford babies. I 100% understand how women WANT to have a baby and experience it all; however, there is a better time if you can't afford it.

I don't agree with people getting on medicaid, food stamps, WIC just because they are pregnant. I understand mistakes happen, BUT you know the risks of having unprotected sex, you know you could possibly get pregnant. So, if you can't afford it then WRAP IT UP!

I don't want to have to pay for your child because you decided to have one, but you can't afford it.

The End! =)

"Dads" act this way?

This will be a slightly "down" post. I'll give everyone a little background first.

My dad has never really been in my life. He was in and out up until I was about 15. I never wanted to visit him.

My mom dated this guy, Bruce, for about 13-14 years. He pretty much raised me & we lived with him since I was 5 years old to about 16 years old. They ended up splitting up. So, I considered him to be my "dad". He was always so good to me.

He walked me down the aisle at my wedding, well half way, and my dad walked me the other half. Exactly what I wanted. He even gave me $1,000 for our wedding gift.

Last night while I was working he came in with a new girlfriend. Sad thing is, this has happened before, but NEVER when I actually saw him. He comes in & acts like he has NO idea who I am. I end up serving them since it was my turn & he still acts like that. He even walked out of the restaurant and just said "bye". Seriously?? After you raising me you're going to act like this because of a new girlfriend? I'm quite shocked.

He's done this before when he gets new girlfriends & doesn't call me or return phone calls, but I have never ever saw him in person where he's done this. I was in shock. I called my mom since I was pretty upset. I hope he doesn't try to call me. I'm NOT going to answer. That is SO completely & utterly messed up.

This is him at the rehearsal, rehearsal dinner & walking me down the aisle.

This is Love

New Years 2011!

How things change in just a year.

Last New Years Eve was the best yet. We were with awesome friends with unlimited amounts of booze & lots of dancing.

My dear friend Alex who just had a baby a few days ago.

Although I wouldn't change a single thing I kind of missed going out this year. We stayed at home, played wii with my sister & my 2 nephews & had a few drinks. We were in bed by 10:30pm. I love my little family, but sometimes I miss my friends since we don't hang out as much.
