Annoyed.

*Warning: this post is a "let me vent and bitch a little" type....just don't say i didn't warn you.

Okay, for starters...I get FIVE days off a year for the first year at my current job. FIVE? Is that some kind of like cruel mean joke? I realize I just started working in the professional world in May but come on....five days is friggin RIDICULOUS. This includes sick days, in other words...I'm never taking another sick day again! I only took a few half days in the past year that were sick related. Then I took 3 random Fridays for weddings, family stuff, etc. This all adds up to ..."oh you are at your limit, your five days is DONE!" I kinda assumed (of course, we know what happens when you assume) once I became an attorney I would not have to abide by such strict strict policies. Not saying that just because I am an attorney I should receive special privileges, just saying that most attorneys and other professionals I know do not have to abide by such crazy leave policies. i.e., most attorneys can work a couple of really long days to make up for missing a day. Yeah, not so much for me. I'm not quite sure how people do it. Starting in May I will increase to SEVEN days off for a year, yippe! (insert mayyjah sarcasm) I am in a lot of out of town weddings, and God forbid I just want a vacation. This is really annoying me right now...my family was hoping to take a week long ski vacation next year, but if i were to take five full days then it would mean I would have a measely two days left. Maybe I'm the one that is being ridiculous...but it sure doesn't feel that way. I just have so many friends and a HUSBAND who work in corporate America or for banks and they get an insane in the membrane amount of time off. Mikey is going on like 15 personal days, plus 11 banking holidays plus his birthday. Really? Oh wait, that's right....that really compares to my FIVE!

Soooo frustrated right now...

Sorry for the rant!

To my boys {almost two months late}

MY BOYS: A whole hand.   I can’t believe it.   The past five years have gone by at lightning speed!   You two silly, crazy, sweet, handsome boys celebrated FIVE like you do all other things- with genuine excitement and happiness in your hearts.   Y’all love life to the fullest and have the best imaginations- I could sit and listen to the two of you “play and talk” to each other ALL the live long day.   Y’all rarely fight, but when you do you make up within like 12 seconds, you boys are so different, but yet so the same.   You’ve both grown up in SO many ways and sometimes I have to blink to remind myself you are still my babies (because you are and always will be) but you both still have remnants of “babyhood” that I sure hope stays around a little longer.   It’s been a complete JOY to be your mama the past five years, as much as I want to keep you this AGE FOREVER, I know it’s not possible and am excited to watch you two grow and blossom in l...

What's in a name?

I tell ya, the name game is HARD. Really hard. I never thought that I'd be 27 years old and pregnant and not know what I wanted to name my child. I *think* we have come up with the one , but I'm not quite ready to put it out for the world to see...you know, don't want to many people rushing to get monogrammed bubbles. Ha! Jokes! Anyways...so I can look back and remember what all we went thru to come up with a name in 20 years I am going to lay it all out there. I'll start with saying I want a family name to be somewhere in my children's names. It doesn't have to be a first name, but some name in the child's name I want to be from a family member/family. We'll start with boys names, because they got taken off the table when we found out it was a GIRL..this will be short. Mikey's middle name is Thomas...his grandfather's name is Thomas. So...we always said Thomas would be in our son's name. I always thought it would be cool to do a Tho...

2019 family Village Creek trip

Our 2019 summer family vacation was everything I could have asked for, and more!  This year, my parents and nephew joined us for the week so we had extra fun!  (and extra chaos of course, too!)  We did ALL the things, but yet also did ALL the relaxing.  We arrived on G and T's actual, bday so we started our trip with a special birthday lunch in downtown Beaufort with just the boys since Collins rode down with my mom.  We also finally experienced the drive in movie that night for Toy Story 4 and it was AWESOME!  We only had one day of cloudy weather so that was awesome!  We ventured to Bohicket Marina, Harbor Town, Harbor Island, Edisto Island, Botany Bay, our favorite sandbar AND downtown Beaufort by boat, we had a ball!   My dad got some AMAZING fireworks and we had a little show for the culdesac, so much fun!!  Mikey and I even got to sneak out one n...
