A case of the wants.

Why does this happen? Why do I WANT so much?

I have a case of the wants. Like...really really bad. I want everything...and I want it now. I want the best clothes, shoes, jewelry, accessories for my house, furniture, etc. I also want to travel and never miss out on anything with my friends.

MAKE IT STOP.

I don't want to come across as this awful, shallow person who is extremely materialistic, b/c I'm really not. Obviously, I can't HAVE all that I want and I have never gotten ALL that I want. (and of course, we all have different ideas of this because we were all raised differently with different values, financial situations, etc.) I have plenty of friends who just don't get into "designer" clothes, shoes, etc. like I do. WHY me? Why do I have to WANT this stuff so much? My heart pitter patters whenever I go to the home pages of Tory and Milly...dresses, bathing suits, bags, shoes...I want it all. Why is MY piperlime cart LOADED (I keep adding more and more everyday)...THREE new pairs of nude shoes...who really needs that? NOT ME. But, I sure want them! ( Of course, I will not be getting everything I want...money don't grow on trees people!!!) I get overly excited when browsing PB, Ballard Designs, Southern Living...immediately decorating new areas of my house in my head.

I am extremely grateful for everything in my life, I really am. I realize that I am extremely lucky to have a job, a house to call my own, a car that runs, food to eat, etc. Why can't that be enough? I know I'm not the ONLY one out there who feels this way! I think my generation expects much, much more than anyone before us, *my parents remind me of this constantly*. I do work hard, and I do contribute to society thru charitable contributions, etc. (just trying to let y'all know I'm not some sort of worthless, lazy, spoiled brat! Cuz' I'm definitely NOT!) I wish I could cure this constant "want" that I get. Why am I the one who loves to decorate her house, have cute clothes, and go out all the time! I need to just focus on ONE of these activities....but which one!?!

I get so mad at myself sometimes over this desire I have to have so much. I AM 100% happy. I have things, lots of them. I have love, lots of it. I have fun, LOTS of it:) Why do I get such a "want" for more? Okay, enough ranting...I just had to put that out there. I'm going to make a valiant effort to stop so much wanting and appreciate all that I have.

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...

Takeover Tuesday

Surprise Caro, guess who hacked into your blog! I know what you are saying to yourself...I can’t believe it’s taken this long for me to mess with you on here. For those of you who haven’t figured it out yet, this obviously is not your sweet Caroline, this is her wonderful, sarcastic, fun loving, baby daddy (or is it babies’ daddy now?), also known as her husband. (Caro at her finest, throwing me a great 25th birthday celebration) Where do I begin…. I guess we can talk about how this marital bliss came to be before we talk about the author of this blog and how amazing she. Caroline has been the love of my life for as long as I can remember, we were actually first grade boyfriend and girlfriend if you can believe it. After first grade, there was the great divide, as both of us went to different schools the following year. Finally, after 10 agonizing, lonely years we were reunited at a house party our senior year in high school. I, naturally, had always kept an eye on her throughou...

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...
