I'm Bad At Posting.

I have been extremely bad at posting. I keep saying that I'm going to post more the next day and I never get around to it so, I will not say that I'm going to get around to posting more tonight or tomorrow, if I do, go me! But I will say I HOPE to be posting soon I would love to catch everyone up on my life. My little boy is growing and so much has changed! Check back soon there will be more, I promise. I just don't know when.

Has it really been two months?!??

Okay I am officially the worst blogger ever! I haven't posted since my son turned 6 months old and he turned 8 months old yesterday. I guess life has just been too busy! Between taking care of Ryan by myself and going to school, I have not had a break or the energy to sit down and think of something to write. I am going to try and get better at this. Now that Ryan is going to bed earlier and is sleeping in his crib most of the time, I have some free time at night before I go to bed. This has been great! I haven't had "me" time in a long time. I won't bore everyone with rambling, but I will post a few pictures of the past couple months! I'll also make a post about our trip to North Carolina and Georgia in the next day or two!

Me and Ryan on Easter.

Easter egg hunt.

He is such a ham.

Crazy hair!

First time at the pool.

6 months old!

My little babe is 6 months old today! I can't believe how fast the time has gone. It seems like just yesterday that he was only a couple weeks old and now he's a half a year old. Happy half birthday to my little Ry baby.

Minutes after being born: This was my first time holding him. It was the best moment of my life.

A few days ago: He can't quite pull up like this on his own yet but he has started pulling up. He loves standing like this.  It scares me that he is getting to be this big!

I ♥ Spring!

My internet is broken right now and I've been really bad at posting but I wanted to share this picture. Me and Ryan went outside today and I LOVE this picture!

I like this one of Ryan too! He is so gosh darn cute! Ha-ha!

If You've Ever... [Things a Mommy Has Done]

If you’ve ever:

…gotten a lump in your throat while you heard the heartbeat of your baby;

…unwrapped your newly swaddled baby, completely out of curiosity;

…held the feet of an infant to your lips;

…gotten tears on your baby’s head in the middle of the night while feeding him or her;

…been so tired you handed your spouse a sippy cup instead of a beer;

…researched the cure for croup, at 3 a.m.;

…picked a tiny nose with your pinky finger;

…stumbled over your words, as you explained something so very big to someone so very small;

…wished with all your might for moments forever lost in time;

…surprisingly realized there were tears on your cheeks;

…paced the halls of your home, mentally willing a fever to break;

…wondered how it was possible for a little person to eat so much;

…wondered how it was possible for a little person to eat so little;

…discussed growth spurts, cradle cap, and the colour, consistency and smell of poop;

…were surprised at how long his little legs were getting as you re-tucked him in, before retiring for the night;

…felt warm vomit down your back as you try to calm your frightened child;

…laid awake and wondered if you could have done something better;

…heard 18 excuses why he doesn’t want to go to bed;

…bought them new shoes despite the fact you’ve had yours for 3 years running;

…baked 32 cupcakes at 10:30 at night;

(after doing a milk run in your pajamas);

…filled out a field trip form, only to worry about all the things that could go wrong;

…volunteered for that field trip to put your own mind at ease;

…stayed by the window after allowing her to bike to the variety store;

…talked candidly about sex and drugs, all the while nursing knots in your tummy;

…felt your heart soar along with his when he saved the game;

…been mad at someone else’s kid for hurting your kid’s feelings;

…taught them how to cook a meal/do a load of laundry/long division/anything, and somehow not ripped your hair out;

…been more excited than ever for Christmas morning, just to see their faces;

…spoiled them rotten when you got a few extra bucks;

…made her favorite meal, just because;

…tusseled his hair, and pulled him back for a kiss and a hug when he squirmed away;

…laid awake at night and willed time to slow down;

…thought you’d never, ever feel love like this – so raw and powerful – leaving you so very vulnerable…

…then you’re doing it right.

Just A Little Inspiration For The Mind.

 

 I wish I could find a guy that follows this. I am so over heart-breaks and drama and all of the other crap that guys bring along in a relationship. You think girls are divas and dramatic? Think again most guys have more drama than a normal girl they just don't always broadcast it, but somehow it still ends up ruining your life in some way. This post may make me look like I hate the male race and I don't just a lot of guys I've known/dated have been complete jerks to me. I just want one guy to prove to me that they aren't all like that. I want somebody to love me for me and not try to turn me into something that I'm not. I think this is want all of us want. After all, we are human. We want to love and be loved, but I guess some people just can't handle or accomplish the task.

Written In The Stars ♥ Tinie Tempah

Right now this is my favorite song. It has a great beat and has a good mix of sounds and different styles of music in the song. I really like the lyrics as well. Over all it's a great song, and I could put it on repeat and listen to it over and over, ha-ha. Oh, and I also really like Eric Turner.

Tinie Tempah

Written In The Stars lyrics

[Eric Turner]

Oh written in the stars
A million miles away
A message to the main
Ooooh
Seasons come and go
But I will never change
And I'm on my way

[Tinie Tempah - Verse 1]
Lets go...
Yeah
You're listening now
They say they aint heard nothing like this in a while
That's why they play my song on so many different dials
Cause I got more hits than a disciplined child
When they see me everybody brrrrrap's, brrrrrraps
Man I'm like a young gun fully black Barrack
I cried tear drops over the massive attack
I only make hits like I work with a racket and bat
Look at my jacket and hat
So damn berserk
So down to earth
I'm bringing gravity back
Adopted by the major I want my family back
People work hard just to get all their salary taxed
Look I'm just a writer from the ghetto like Malory blackman
Where the hells all the sanity at, damn
I used to be the kid that no one cared about
That's why you have to keep screaming til they hear you out

[Chorus]

[Tinie Tempah - Verse 2]
Yeah, I needed a change
When we ate we never took because we needed a change
I needed a break
For a sec I even gave up believing and praying
I even done illegal stuff and was leaded astray
They say money is the root to the evilist ways
But have you ever been so hungry that it keeps you awake
Mate, now my hunger would leave them amazed
Great, it feels like a long time coming, fam
Since the day I thought of that cunning plan
One day I had a dream I tried to chase it
But I wasn't going nowhere, running man!
I knew that maybe someday I would understand
Trying to turn a tenner to a hundred grand
Everyones a kid that no-one cares about
You just have to keep screaming until they hear you out

[Chorus repeated]

[Outro]
[End]

Photo Time.

Mark Twain Statue in Hannibal, Missouri

I took this picture from my phone when I was in Hannibal, Missouri with my grandma last May. I was actually pregnant on this trip and I have one picture of myself and I look quite hysterical. I look more bloated than pregnant. 

I have always liked Mark Twain so to be in his home town and see the scenes that helped him write his stories was awesome! There were so many neat things to see. The river was beautiful, there were cute little souvenir shops, and the houses were so neat to see!

Me about 19 weeks pregnant. I look so bloated!

 

Rest in Peace ♥ Elizabeth Taylor

February 27, 1932 – March 23, 2011

I don't know if I would say that Elizabeth Taylor was my idol, but I did enjoy the movies that she was in. When I was younger on of the priests at my church said that I looked like Elizabeth Taylor when she played the role in "National Velvet." He called me Liz and Elizabeth all the time and never really knew my real name. Because of this, I always have like Elizabeth Taylor. I can say that I ever want to have seven husbands, but so many people looked up to her and honestly she was a beauty. If there was anybody that I would want to be compared to for looks I definitely think she is a good choice. I'm sure she will be greatly missed!

We Only Get One Life. . .

 

. . .So are you going to waste it, or are you going to live life to the fullest. Never having regrets. Doing your best and just living in the moment. 

I don't regret things. Yes there are a few things that I wish I could change, but I don't regret doing them. Everything happens for a reason. You have to realize this and move on. Don't waste your life living in the past. It's already happened and there is nothing you can do to change it, but you can still improve the future. So focus on creating a better future for yourself and others. That is how you can live life to the fullest. Be the change that you wish to see in the world.
