Fight for Preemies

I know of 2 preemies.  One is my step-daughter K-bug and one is my dearest friend Twinkle Toes


(Let me preface that I was not there when K was born.  So this is all hearsay of what I was told.)


K was born 3 months premature.  Her mom had complications from her pregnancy, obviously, but had no idea about it until it was almost too late.  Her cervix had dilated before it was time.  The dr's had put her, basically, upside down to help with the gravity to keep K in longer, so that her lungs could develop more.  I don't know the events leading up to that point, but Snuggles was there the entire time. So k-bugs mom, K, had k-bug vaginally and they took k-bug to the NICU.  There she lived for 3 months and, thankfully, had no real problems.  (other than the lungs being under developed.) I see pictures of her all the time when she was really little and it's amazing that the dr's have all these medical advances.  To date, k-bug is a normal, happy and healthy 6 yr old and you would never know she was a preemie.


I'm not going to speak for little miss twinkle toes, so you'll have to go over there and check it out for yourself!

What do you love?  Have any of your recent actions openly expressed this love?
I love my life, family and friends. Without them I would be no one.

And this is a check off my 100 in 1001 days! 
Decisions are being made right now.  The question is:  Are you making them for yourself, or are you letting others make them for you?
I am making all my decisions for myself.  Yes, I am married, yes I have my parents and my family, but this is my life and I'm gonna make it about me (and them)

Day Zero

So I was catching up on my blogs that I follow and one of them is the wonderful Mrs. Emmypants.  Because she is so cool, I decided to do the same thing as her and do the Day zero project.  It's pretty interesting.  A bucket list so to speak.  Maybe you can create one too???

In 5 years from now, will you remember what you did yesterday?  What about the day before that?  Or the day before that?
I like to think that I would be able to remember.  But that is life.  Hopefully by then I'll have my kids and then I'll have a planner that will keep me remembering what happened.

Hello again...

Whoa...its been a while since I posted. Lets see.....I quit Massage Envy. Simply because management was a real pain in the ass and wanted ppl to work for basically nothing. It's hard when you are a therapist working your ass off and injuring your self when you can't even get a massage yourself. So I left there. I am know working at Jenny Craig. I love it! There is a girl who is pregnant, so I'll be taking over her book when she leaves. I am a consultant there and help guide ppl in their weight loss journey. I'll be making more money there then I would have at Massage Envy. Granted I worked less hours there, but it was really strenuous work.

In my weight loss news, I have lost 45 lbs. I have another 25 to go and I'm really hoping that I can do it before Thanksgiving. I mean, I know I can...I just need to do it. Plus I have other motivations too....we are having a Halloween party and we are going to my brothers for Thanksgiving. So I have lots of motivators to get there...I just need to do it.

I have...to date....paid off 2 out of my 4 credit card bills. My goal was to pay off all my debt by the end of the year. I am going to do that too. I want to really start TTC come January. I have 3 other bills I need to pay off as well...so really there should be no reason why I can't do that as well =) Since I work at JC, I have insurance now! So....after we get all the bills paid off, we wanna have a little bit in savings...I would like a couple grand, but we'll see. I'm going to start charting again...once I get a more secure schedule. It's been so off and on, so I want to make sure I have that set before I start charting. The funny thing is, since I lost all that weight, my periods are more regular now then they were before. Hmmmm, not sure what that means.

I will try to update more often.
