The Reboot
Jun. 27th, 2012 04:46 pmOkay, so I realze this is like the fourth time I have "started over" but I've decided that's a bad way to think about it. It is a "lifestyle change" after all. I did well yesterday, only went 192 over my 1300 calorie goal. I did lunges, squats, donkey kicks and knee rasies yesterday and stared a "running for begginers" 12 week program. It starts you out walking fast for 4 minutes, and slow for 1, repeating 4 times for a week and increasiHereng from there. Here's the link to it if anybody is interested, http://healthy-living.global-endeavor.com/beginner-running-training/
Update of sorts
Jun. 5th, 2012 10:10 pmSorry I haven't been here much, life is crazy. To sum it up today is day one of being back on my diet, we should be moving in the next two weeks, the baby is growing like a weed and I hate finite math with a passion. I'll post more latter when I'm not typing on the husbands iPad which is slow and awkward, my poor Lappy is DED :(
My daughter just got over a bought of illness but so far the rest of us haven't got it. *knock on wood* My son is doing well, he's growing like a weed! He's all ready out paced his sister as far as growth. I'm also handeling the reduced sleep very well, I feel a lot more like my normal self now. Still a bit different but having two children changes you out of necessity I think.
Were still in the house, the bank has till April something or the other to make a decision. I'm over it, if we have to move it will be rough, but I know we would eventually get used to the change.
I really should go to bed while the munchkin is sated, but daylight savings still has me thrown off. My body says it's only 11pm, even if the clock says 12am.
Plus I am bound and determined to finsih watching "DOOM". I have a serious love for some terrible movies. Plus Karl Urban is yummy. I really loved him as Dr.McCoy in the newest Star Trek movie.

Hate that...
Jan. 24th, 2012 09:42 pmvauge feeling of upsetness that plauges me from time to time. I've just been off all day. I guess I'll feel better when things settle down and I eventually get back into a routine.
Ally is in bed and the little guy is still asleep. The Husband is at work so I'm left feeling lonely as well. I find it ironic I long for free time and then when I have it I don't know what to do with myself. Usually I am too busy cleaning and running around anyways.
So I've picked back up with "Devil May Cry" which you can never go wrong with epic demon slaying with a big-ass sword and half-demon hotties.

This year.....
Jan. 24th, 2012 08:45 amFeels crazy allready. I'm tired obviously, with having, as of today, a 6 week old son. (He's so stinking cute!)
School is going fine, but we are barely a few weeks in to it. I'm repeating last semester's math since I failed it miserably. I have studio drawing for my art requirement which is a lot of fun!
We find out in february if we get to keep our house or not. We've been fighting with the bank for two years for a modification. We haven't been able to pay our mortgage this whole time because they wouldn't lower it and now the back due has caught up with us. So the husband and I get to spend Valentine's day in court. All is not lost yet, but thinking about it everyday till it's decided one way or another is freaking me out.
I go back to work next monday and I'm not looking forward to it. My boss of 8 years finaly had enough and quit. So were are waiting to see if my other boss gets the manager position. If not, she's going to quit to. *sigh* So who knows who I could end up with.
Baby wants fed and husband is being lazy, so more latter.

Baby update
Dec. 31st, 2011 09:58 pmMy son was impersonating a fountain, so we switched him to soy formula and put him on Zantac for his poor little tummy. We see the doctor again on Tuesday so hopefully he's put on weight like he is supposed too!
Other than that not much is going on here, it's a never ending cycle of feeding, changing, dishes, laundry and answering the needs/demands of a toddler. (I'm going a little batty actually)
I'm glad school starts in another week, I need something to break up the routine!
Happy New Year! Please be safe tonight!

Totally forgot about this place!
Dec. 18th, 2011 10:16 amSo wow, alot has happened. The most importaint, I gave birth to a healthy baby boy, Spencer, on Tuesday the 13th. Things are crazy right now, but I plan on trying to post more reguarly on here and LJ.
This is one of those weeks. I have to catch up on math, recertify as a Pharmacy Technician and work 37 hours. I have two cats who have to go to the shelter because they refused to potty train and I couldn't find them homes, we got denied for assitance again, and they changed my student loans so I am not getting the extra money I expected or needed.
Clusterfuck.
I have to keep reminding myself, it could be so much worse. My boss told me a story this morning about a local couple who lost their only child when a neighbor was shooting a gun off his back poarch while the dad and boy were night fishing.
Kinda puts things in perspective huh?
And yet, knowing all the "worse things" does not stop a person from stressing about their own problems does it? So here I am , Stressy-Stresserson.
Oh, and my daughter is sick. I had to leave math class after 5 minutes when my FIL called letting me know she had a fever. Icing on the crap-cake.
I think the best thing tonight, is that she goes to bed early and so do I! Things might look better in the morning.
-Love-SC
PS. Any of you moms out there had a lot a trouble with the round ligament/muscle while pregnant? I feel like the bottom is gonna drop out!

7 more months of this?!?
May. 19th, 2011 09:48 amI am sick to my stomach in some form or another every damn day, all day. I seriously hope this is a first trimester thing because I can't handle 7 more months of this. I have heart burn, or I am naseous, or just a general feeling of ick but it's constant, there is no relife from it.
Except in sleep, which is all I do on my days off now. I sleep ten hour at night and then nap atleast four durning the day and get nothing accomplished, that is when I am not working 8-10 hour shifts. I've been awake maybe three and a half hours and I am ready to go back to sleep!
And I hate eating right now, because it feels miserable to eat anything, but then I wait till I am absolutly starving to eat and feel twice as bad. I wish I could hibernate through this pregnancy.
My husband and I are still arguing about me going back to work after this baby is born. I understand where he is comming from, we need financial security, but I just can't handle work, school and two small children and I refuse to sacrifice school because that just puts me farther behind. I thought we had agreed on it before we even got pregnant but I guess he didn't take me seriously. It doesn't help things are so bad right now eaither.
I looks like we are going to have to give up the house. The bank won't work with us, we eaither have too little, or too much money for their various assiatance programs. And even if we could make payments again, we can't pay the past due, so they could still forclose. So rather than forclosure, we will try to deed the house back to the bank. There is too much wrong with it to sell that we can't afford to fix. (We have a nice big, duck tape covered crack in the tub, that's right, I said duck tape.)
Hours are low at work this time of year to, there is allways a nice weather slump, and it's hard to pick any up. Especially when you have to scramble for a babysitter. So I am not making enough, to cover everything. Hence, my phone is shut off.
And through it all, I am just so exhausted. I could deal better if the life wasn't being sucked out of me. This pregnancy is so much harder than the last one. I'm glad were pregnant now, so our two will only be 4 years apart, but I feel like I have a short time line to try and get our situation together and it's very stressfull.
Now that, that is off my chest, bath, nap or other?

Depressing test scores and paychecks
Mar. 21st, 2011 07:50 pmSpringbreak is over and it's back to class tomorow. The wind has kinda been knocked out of my sails as far as school goes. I only got a 59% on my biology test. usually scince is my thing, but I actually did better on my math test (a 69% which is good for me) and I loath math.
Hopefully this will light the fire under my ass to study more. I plan to read my biology chapter tonight but I am a bit distracted right now trying to make sure my daughter doesn't eat playdough.
Hours have been few at work so my paychecks have been down right depressing. We are barley scrapping by and trying to wait for it to get better is stressful. Just making sure our daughter had a decent birthday put us behind and we didn't do much, which makes me feel worse. Not to mention I have a horrible sinus infection through all of this.
On a postivie note, I got my husband's old iphone which I love! I now have an application on it that lets me track my calories, exercise, water consumption and the whole lot! I've lost 2 pounds allready! I am very proud of my self for following it! Especially since I am only allowed 1880 calories a day, and when you learn how many calories are in some foods it's down right scary! A fazoli's bredstick has 700 calories! (no wonder they are so tasty!)
I've rambled on enough, time to catch up on everybody else's post, I've nbeen a terrible internet friend! lol.

Why do I do these things to myself?
Jan. 10th, 2011 07:47 pmMy skin is so dry it hurts, lots of lotion for me. With that said yesterday I had to hurry in the bath with Ally and couldn't shave my legs. So latter I figure I'll use this oily body spray stuff, it's supposed to moisturizes it should work right?
Wrong. Can you say severe razor burn? It hurts so bad I had to put neosproin on it. I would really love to take a bath in lotion but I guess slathering it on one the munchkin goes to bed will have to do.
Still no car, for some odd reason no one wants to give me money?!?! Hopefully I will hear something tomorow.
That's about it, other than hearing various snow reports from 2 inches to 48 inches, my day had been a pretty standard work/then mommy duty day.
Oh and It hasn't even started snowing yet.

Work wasn't as horrible...
Jan. 3rd, 2011 06:15 pmas I though it was going to be. Granted dealing with insurance companies all day is mind numbing but it could have been alot worse.
So now I am left waiting. Left waiting for money to get here so I can accomplish other things that require it. My car was declared a total loss so I am waiting on a check so I can go get a new one. My student loans need to be deposited so I can buy my books. (I think I've decided to buy a kindle and rent e-text books.)
Not much else to report. It's just freezing in my living room because my house is poorly insulated and it's making me cranky.

Things were cleaned, other things were organized and crock pot yumminess was made. Other than that and ever present mommy duty I manage to squeeze in a whole 2 hours and 17 minutes of actual paying work. (Babysitter fail once again).
This week should be Hell at work, everybody's got new insurance and doesn't know it half the time. Pray for/think of me? I may be crying by the end of tomorow.
Off to get ready for bed I go, it's freaking cold down here!

I survived,
Nov. 29th, 2010 07:59 amthe worst shopping weekend of the year. I am glad I work for Target and not some of the other major retail chains. We went in at 3:45 and got let in a back door, and they fed us pizza.
And I was very grateful Ally took a almost 5 hour nap that day so I could get in a 2&1/2 hour one myself. I swear that weekend lasted a lot longer than 3 days.
The Christmas tree is up. I had mixed feelings about doing any decorating because we still haven't made a mortgage payment. If feels weird decorating when we don't know if we will lose our house or not. I am still fighting with the bank to do a workout with us.
I am just grateful for the fact that Allyson isn't even 3 yet and she wont remember what a rough year this has been. It wouldn't be so bad if I could atleast say she is happy, but Jason and I are working so much on top of everythign else that needs to be done that we hardly have time to spend with her and its taking it's toll.
*sigh* It will get better, I just have to keep shoveling.

Netflix on Xbox is a beautiful thing.
Oct. 22nd, 2010 08:20 pmI have been getting to watch SO much anime latley. Thanks to my adoptive little Bro letting us use his netflix account (Not really adopted, I just love him that much).
I just finished Ouran High School Host Club and Adored it! I can't pick a favorate all the characters are so great! But I am weirded out by recognizing so many voice actors. Mostly from FMA. It was teh first anime that really grabbed me and made me love anime.
Right now I am watching D-Gray Man. And the voice actor for one of the Hitachi twins is Alan walker and it's all I can focus on! I've noticed a group of english speaking voice actors who get used over and over again.
Collen Clinkenbeard.
Vic Mignogna
Caitlin Glass
Travis Willingham
Christopher R. Sabat
Just to name a few!
I love anime, it's the plus side to being sick. I have Broncitis/pneumonia. But atleast I have anime to watch.

Anime binge!
Oct. 8th, 2010 10:49 pmThanks to my friends generous use of his netflix, I have been on an anime binge latley. Orphen was first, I was so happy because my husband actually got into it and there is a second series too it! But I am oing to be nice and wait to watch it with him!
Then Jyu-oh-sei. I watched all that just today. It was pretty amazing for only 11 episodes! And Thor is just a georgeous character! So many pretty boys all around!
Now I am sinking into claymore. I have wanted to see this for ahwhile! So far it's pretty epic allready!
But on the downside, I am missing work tomorow because Ally and I have fevers now. Three weeks of illness now, not looking forward to this winter with the kiddo in daycare!
