Summertime Rant.

I love summer, almost EVERYTHING about it. I am and always have been a summer girl, I love the sun, sand, water, old fashioned lemonade days of summer. *Yes, even SC's sweltering 100 degree days...besides, southern girls don't sweat, we glisten* (Riiiight, I sweat like a freaking PIG, ugh...but I wouldn't trade it for winter for the world.)

Anyways, one thing i do hate about the summer? The TV. There is never anything to watch. I hate how all of the good shows (non reality) end before summer, it really drives me nuts. I do not like reality tv (save for one...and that is So You Think You Can Dance!), reality tv generally drives me BONKERS. Sometimes, I truly don't understand how so many girls can love the Bachelor, Bachelorette, Housewives shows. I get the fact that a lot of people use these petty, catty, drama filled shows as a release from their real life, but I just can't stand them. CANNOT STAND. I think it's interesting how so many women talk about women tearing each other down and how women should support each other, etc. in real life, but then tune into these awful shows where that is all they do. I guess a lot of people find it entertaining, but I find it absolutely pathetic (the reality shows, not the people who watch them). I *tried* to tune in for 5 seconds of the bachelorette the other night (there is a guy who lives in my hometown on there) and I had to turn it immediately. SO FAKE, STUPID, CHEESY, AND AWKWARD. I don't know...maybe it's just me, I just get so much anxiety watching people make a fool out of themselves, I don't even like to watch American Idol, The Voice, etc. because of that...I get so nervous for them.

I just like plain ole' series dramas: gimme Friday Night Lights, Private Practice, Grey's, Chicago Code, The Good Wife, Brothers and Sisters ANY day of the week over any reality show (except, SYTYCD!). Maybe I'm the crazy one....but at least I can relate a little better to the characters on there.

If given a choice, which tv show couple can YOU relate most with?

The ever so fabulous Coach and Tammy from FNL? (they are so real. all the time.)

2. Or these awful people?
Okay, rant over. I just want some good shows to watch during the summer...it seems like all I can find anymore are reality shows. A new one every day it seems.

    We are HUGE fans of FNL. You are right ... they are so real and relateable characters. I do admit to watching some of the Real Housewives series but Ian just can't stand it. I have to sneak in a few episodes while he's out of the house :)

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...
