APATHETIC

This may be the FIRST big election since I have turned 18 (not that many years, but hey...who's counting?) where I am truly apathetic about tomorrow. I hate it, but it's true. Of course I am going to vote...and of course there are a handful of candidates that I do feel strongly about, but that's it, just a handful. Because I am not trying to sway anyone's opinions over here or am not any sort of "public official" with influence, I will say I am a conservative. I have always voted that way (with the exception of a few peeps here and there) and will vote *mostly* that way tomorrow. No need to get in to specifics here...I like to call myself a "fiscal conservative" with some moderate conservative views as well. Not really the point right now.

The point is, with that being said...I am not truly excited about any of the candidates, Republican or Democrat (reminder I am only talking about S.C. politics here) for tomorrow. I don't really know how our state has gotten into this situation, but it has. I think a LOT of people feel this way, I *think*, of course I can't really be positive. Regardless, I am just so dang ready for this election to be over. I am SO sick of the mud slinging (done by BOTH parties) and lies. If I had it my way we would fire EVERY single politician in the country and start from scratch. There are way too many things wrong with our political system and politicians to even begin to talk about here on this ole' blog, but I am just SO over politics in general.

It truly is a sad day for me. I used to be SO passionate about it, I would get so into elections, campaigns, results, etc. it would make my heart race. It really is terrible that in my SHORT 9 years of voting eligibility I am already FED up. Maybe a politician will come along in the future that will ignite my passion again, I truly hope so. But, for now...all I can feel about tomorrow is apathy.

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...

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...
