Weekend recap will have to wait....

I didn't get many pictures on my camera, they are all on my sister in law's so I will have to share later! However, we had a wonderful weekend down in Beaufort and I was very very sad to come home last night.

I started "listing" today, and it made me laugh to think how often I do this. "Listing" is definitely what I do when I am bored/procrastinating/being organized/etc. I have done it as long as I remember....I seriously wrote out my outfits each day on a little dry erase board I kept in my room, dating all the way back to middle school! I am very obsessed with being organized, so I think my "listing" obsession stems from that.

Listing when studying, I have always made "study charts", "study time sheets", etc. I did this in high school, college and DEFINITELY law school. These lists were more of a way for me to put off studying longer and longer, for some reason when I would "list" out all the hours that I could devote to certain subjects throughout the day or week, it would make me feel TONS better about myself and my studying regimen. Think: contracts: 4:30-6:00; dinner; torts: 7-8:30, etc. I always find old study schedules that I made and it makes me crack up. Rarely did I follow these like I was supposed to, but somehow it made me feel better by making them.

Listing when bored, I have always made "to do" lists. Now, whenever I am bored...I list everything! "Things to buy for the house, things to do to the yard, blog topics, things to buy for myself, how long to pay off debt; you name it, I have a list for it! I make "general" to do lists every week, which normally include working out (I "schedule" for it every day, although that never happens that I actually workout every day of the week!) a random errand, etc. It is so weird to be working full time and no longer have to schedule in study time in my normal routine...it's crazy the amount of free time I have now! No worries, I have been taking FULL advantage=)

So, this is just one of my crazy ways of staying organized...now if I could just compile all of my "lists" into ONE place...instead of on my phone, computer, calendar at work, calendars i print out, etc.

What do you do to stay organized?

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...

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...

25 weeks....yesterday!

Holy moly!!!! Baby Girl is doing some maaaayjah GROWING:) How far along? 25 weeks. Size of the baby? 13.5 inches and a pound and a half, grow baby girl, grow! Also known as an “average rutabaga”…um, okay. I’ll take Baby Center’s word for it. Maternity Clothes? Same as last week. My wardrobe is shrinking! I have bought several maternity tops, but most of them still look way too big. Still haven’t made the transition to maternity pants even though the bella band aggravates me sometimes. It’s the worst with my work pants, it constantly rolls down. I need to just suck it up and make the switch. Stretch Marks? None have appeared yet, still using the Palmer’s and Bio Oil a few times a week. Movement? Same. It’s so crazy how hard my belly gets at night, it is like she is all knotted up in one place. And the BELLY gets insanely BIG at night! Sleep? Eh…it’s been okay lately. I toss and turn a bunch. Food Cravings? Nothing crazy yet. I have been eating lots of peanu...
