{1} of the THIRTY

Twenty Randoms:
1. I'm technically an only child but I have 4 siblings.
2. I really want to go to Cosmo school and be a hair/nail stylist
3. I am afraid of suffocating. Sometimes when I'm dozing off to sleep, I convince myself that I'm not breathing, completely panic, and wake myself up...over and over and I keep myself from sleeping.
4. I love that I inherited my mom's artsy-craftsy side. I love doing and I'm not too shabby at it either.
5. I hate being called dramatic. Just because dramatic things happen to me, does not make me a Drama Queen.
6. I have eaten iguana.
7. I was in Honors English in college - had no idea I was even really that good at English in HS, but now consider myself somewhat of a Grammar Nazi. Poor Grammar drives me batty.
8. I LOVE to sing karaoke. I'm a rock star.
9. I am super girly. I love shopping, spa/salon days, high heels, pink, glitter, big sunglasses...all. things. girly.
10. It embarrasses me that I have been married twice. I really dislike that about myself and it makes me feel trashy.
11. I get along better with men than I do women (despite my love of all things girly, girls are too mean)
12. I'm kind of a hot mess but I'm pretty good at hiding it [most days]
13. I'm an accountant but I'm really not that great with money. Go figure.
14. I love yoga. I'm getting pretty good at a few of the semi-advanced poses. If my wrists weren't so weak, I'd be a yoga rock star.
15. Being a mom is the greatest thing I have ever done in my life. I love my son more than anyone or anything in this world. I would do anything for him, sacrifice anything, just to make sure he's happy. I'm one of those mom's who 100% believes my child is perfect, the cutest kid alive, and could easily be super famous and super rich someday. [I don't, however believe my child can do no wrong - he's an ornery little stinker]
16. I am my own biggest critic. I am a very harsh critic but only of myself. For everyone else, I usually only see the good in people, somewhat to a fault.
17. I'm Irish [great grandmother was Irish] and I just found this out like a year ago. I'm extra upset about all the St. Patty's Day celebrating I did not do and the "Kiss My I'm Irish" t-shirts I do not own. This is a big deal to me people, I think its pretty awesome that I'm Irish.
18. I feel completely out of the loop all the time with my family (ie see above) both my mom and most definitely my dad's side [they are a MESS so I can't blame myself too much on that one], and really everything in my life. I don't know if its because I'm a total space cadet and don't pay attention, or I'm just not inquisitive enough, but I am in the dark on a lot and there's a ton of questions I have no clue the answer to. I want to make sure my kids always ask questions and are interested in who they are and what's going on around them.
19. I want to be bilingual  I always wanted to learn French but I think I'm going to learn Spanish instead since it will be so much more useful in my day to day life.
20. When I'm disappointed about something I usually don't have the heart to tell someone because I don't want to hurt their feelings.

Jason's Graduation: Part I

We drove to KC a couple days before Jason's graduation (Wed) since we had Jason's presidents dinner the night before. I love the big windmills in Oklahoma.  We made it into KC fairly late and got to our hotel The Great Wolf Lodge. The keys weren't in the packet when we got up to the room so daddy ran back down to get them while we waited in the hall. Brazos looks way too old throwin up the dueces in this pic... Daddy and Brazos trying on their wolf ears.  Brudders Hudson was very happy to be free of his car seat! Daddy took the boys to check out the hotel and get some energy out before bed while Hudson and I settled in. Everything was decorated for Christmas and was so beautiful! The next day I went into the office to work so daddy was at the hotel with the boys for the day, waiting on Mimi and Popo. They went to the restaurant downstairs for breakfast.  Probably the sweetest picture of those wolf ears you'll ever see in your life. <3 Thursday night, Jason and I went...

FAF: Another 1 Bites the Dust!

Starting weight: 166.4 Last week's weight: 163.8 Current weight: 162.8 Weight +GAIN / -LOSS this week: -1.0 Total weight lost: -3.6 Another week of weight loss! Whoop! Its not much but after another slow exercising week, I'll GLADLY take it! I'm very close [again] to what I weighed when I got knocked up with my pwecious little man so I'm feeling good about that fo' sho'... Working out this week has been rough. I haven't really made/had time for a good solid workout so I'm a little disappointed about that but...eh, I'll just keep squeezing them in there whenever I can and as much as I can. We have a gym membership over by my usual sitter so once she's off maternity leave, I'll be able to run to the gym at night before or after I pick up the monster. My diet this week has been unhealthy - not in what I've eaten, just the quantity. I've hardly eaten a thing! My dinner portions have been cut in half, if not more, so I feel that's a po...

Jason's Graduation: Part II

Dr. Allen, DC 4/5 of our marriage has been spent working towards this day. To say we are excited would be a great understatement. I can't even put into words how excited/happy/scared/proud/relieved, etc, etc, etc we are. There just are no words. Jason has worked tirelessly towards this goal. Countless hours of studying. Sacrificing time with me and the kids. And all the work he put in advertising and recruiting patients into the clinic. Personal training early mornings and late nights to help makes ends meet.  And I think of all the sacrifice we've made as a family. Living in a townhouse and then a tiny apartment. I've been the primary provider and a mostly single parent during some stages. And a constant cheerleader and standing behind pushing. We've both been pushing uphill for what seems like forever towards this goal. And we've made it. Not to discount his hard work, because he was the one who really accomplished this goal but I like to think we accomplished thi...
