Babies, Babies, Babies Everywhere!   Leave a comment

For awhile TJ & I have been talking about having a baby. I got my tubes tied 10 years ago after I had my daughter Ashley. I was married to my ex & I thought we were going to stay together. Well that was not the case.

I have been with TJ for over 9 years now. He doesn’t have any kids of his own. I know he would like to have kids some day. I would really like to have another baby someday. I knew when I got my tubes tied that it was a mistake. I was very young when I did it. I was 22 years old.

I was 22 years old with 3 kids. I really thought I was done having babies. Well I guess I thought wrong. TJ is scared to have a baby with me. His sister had to failed pregnancies. He is afraid that something is going to happen to me if I get pregnant & something happens. His sister was in her middle 30’s.

I am 32 right now. We have been looking online & doing some research. We have found a place that we want to go to. The name of the place is Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center. I have done a lot of research on this place. They have been founded since 1979.

Women come from all over the world to go there to get their tubal Reversed. They have a very high success rate of pregnancy.

For women between the ages of 30-34 their success rate to get pregnant is 73%. For women between the ages of 35-39 their success rate to get pregnant is 64%.
The place is in North Carolina. A 12 hour drive from here. The cost is $5900. I know the cost is a little high but it isn’t that bad.

We have been talking about this for awhile now. I am going to call them to talk to them. We have some questions about it. TJ’s biggest question is “What is the risk?” That is one of my questions to.

I know you have to be a certain weight or something to do the surgery. Your BMI has to be less then 37. Right now I’m at a 34. I plan on being much less by the time we plan on doing the surgery. I want to make sure that there isn’t going to be any problems with the surgery due to my weight.

They even have a pre-payment plan. You can open a account there & make payments when you can. That is one of my questions.

There are things we have to do here first before we think about calling them. I know it is going to take a while before we can do this. Just thought I would talk to someone else about it. Someone that has done it before. What was it like? How long did it take you to get pregnant after the surgery? It would be nice to hear some stories.

November 10, 2011: Day from Hell!   1 comment

Yesterday was the day from Hell. I woke up like any other day. Went to the store to get stuff for breakfast. I didn’t have much time. Got home & ate breakfast then went to Walmart to drop off my medicine.

I asked how much my medicine was going to be before I left. I did the same thing on Monday. Both times they told me that it was going to cost $30.42. I said thanks & went to work.

On my lunch break I went back to Walmart to get my medicine. I had to wait in line. There was only 1 register open & there was 6 people in line. I was in a hurry since I only have a 30 minute lunch break.

When it was my turn to go up there I told the lady that I was there to pick up my medicine. I told her my name & birthday. She told me that there was 2 ready for me & asked me which one I wanted. I told her I wanted the $30 one. She was looking for my medicine & found it. She told me the total was going to be $50.27. I said thats not what the lady told me when i dropped it off. I was pissed off. I told them that they need to get their facts straight & start telling me the real price. That was the second time this week that they told me the wrong price. That’s when the bad day started.

I got back to work & it went all down hill from there. We have this new thing at work with the registers. They are keeping track of the voids & coupons. If you are over the % of voids then you get a warning. If you get 3 in 1 month then you get written up. I’m not sure how many write ups you get before you get fired. I will have to look into that. My drawer was great at 4 o’clock. But my other drawer was not when it came to 7 o’clock.

I got home to a nice hot homemade cooked meal that my hubby made. It was great. Then my daughter ran me a hot bath.

When I got into the bath it was kind of cold so i had my daughter heat some water on the stove. We didn’t have hot water for some reason. As she was pouring hot water in the tub i dropped my phone into the tub. That was the last straw for me.

I took the phone out of the tub & took the battery out and dried it off. I put the battery back in the phone & turned it on to see if it still worked. My husband took my phone & tried to make it work. There was still water in it. He took the battery out & got all the water out of the phone. He even put the phone in the stove for a little bit to get it to dry out. As of this morning all the buttons work. There is a little glitch in the phone. I’m hoping that it will go away. I’m taking my phone to work to see how it works on wifi.

I hope my day is going to be better then yesterday. We will see.

Thanks for taking the time to read my blog.

November 8, 2011: Laundry Mat Dreamscape   Leave a comment

Today I was woken up to my daughter calling my name. I had to drive her to school for her student council meeting. I was so happy she woke me up. I was in the middle of a nightmare.

My nightmare was about some guy that was haunting us. We had a swat team come into our house. It was not a good dream.

I made steak & eggs for breakfast. It was good. Then after breakfast I did some laundry at the laundry mat. When we go to the laundry mat we use 2 big washers. One washer can hold 2 baskets of clothes. When I went there today one was out of order so I had to wait for my first load to stop before I could clean my last load. I hate doing laundry. It is so boring.

My day was pretty boring. Tomorrow I’m going to Walmart to get some more medicine. I’m going to get my inhaler on my break. I need one.

November 7, 2011: What a Bad Day!   Leave a comment

Today didn’t start out right at all. When our alarm went off at 5:30 this morning we didn’t get up. TJ had a very bad Migraine and I was super tired. We went to bed after midnight.

I woke up around 9 & made breakfast. I went to Walmart before I went to work to drop off some medicine. I was suppose to be on sandwiches but I switched to back window. When I’m on sandwiches I sometimes have a asthma attack so I try not to be put there.

When I got to work I remembered I forgot my lunch at home. Someone gave me a apple to eat for lunch. It was better then nothing.

On my break I went to cash my check & get gas for the car. I was running on fumes. After I got gas I went to Walmart to get my medicine. When I got my RX I go to Walmart to get the prices of them so I know how much they are.

When I went to get my medicine I told them who I was and I had to pick up my medicine. I was thinking my medicine was going to be $9. She looked me up & told me that my medicine was $194.44. I said “What? I only got 1 medicine.” She repeated it again. I told her that I couldn’t afford that. I think that is crazy.

I am out of medicine & don’t have any inhaler. I was pissed when I left Walmart. My night didn’t get any better until I got home.

November 6, 2011: Extra Hour of Sleep   1 comment

Good morning there peeps. Sorry I haven’t blogged in a couple of days. Friday night I got off of work a little late & didn’t feel like blogging when I got home. Nothing happened on Friday anyways.

Yesterday I slept in until 11. That felt great. This whole week we have been getting up at 5:30 so it felt great to sleep in.

We made chocolate chip & m&m cookies yesterday with the girls. They taste great. I let the girls spoon the dough on the cookie sheet. So, we have some big cookies & some small cookies. We have to have a glass of milk when we eat them.

Last night TJ made some great stuffed cheeseburgers. They were big. Those of you that are friends with me on Facebook should have seen the picture that I put up. Yummy!

Not sure what is happening today. I think we are just going to watch some movies.

I hope everyone changed their clocks back. My phone changed on it’s own. I had to change the clock in the girls room last night before we went to bed.

It felt great to sleep in this morning. I just didn’t like the time that the clock said when I looked at it. I know what time it would have been if I didn’t change the clock. Is did we get a extra hour of sleep or not? That still confuses me.

Everyone is awake except TJ. He is still sleeping. When he wakes up we will have some breakfast.

Thanks for taking the time to read my blog.

November 3, 2011: Lazy Day   Leave a comment

This morning we got up at 5:30. TJ made breakfast. We had oatmeal, toast, & a banana. It was good.

After breakfast we went back to bed. I had a weird dream. I dreamed that I was at least 6 months pregnant with a boy & didn’t know it until I went to the hospital. I could feel the baby move & kick me. It was so awesome.

We had the normal for lunch. A tangerine, banana, & yogurt.

For dinner TJ made homemade chicken noodle soup with homemade mashed taters. That was a great dinner.

I was going to go for a walk tonight since it was kind of nice outside but I didn’t. I was helping TJ with dinner.

This weekend I plan on making cookies with the girls. I think they will like that.

I just did nothing today. Oh I did take a nice hot relaxing bath. I love taking baths. I don’t know why I told you that.

Thanks for taking the time to read my blog.

November 2, 2O11: Buckle up. It’s healthy for you.   Leave a comment

Today was a good day. We got up around 5:30 am. Well, I woke up when the alarm went off but didn’t get out of bed. I layed there thinking if I wanted to get up or not. T.J. got up a little after 6 am. TJ said “Honey, why didn’t I get up? I didn’t hear the alarm go off.” I said “The alarm went off. You turned it off.”

T.J. made a great breakfast. We had steak egg & cheese bagels with orange juice & a banana. They were really good.

After we ate breakfast & Stephi went off to school I went back to bed.

For lunch I ate a banana, tangerine, & yogurt. That was a good lunch.

When I came home from work I ate BBQ chicken, baked tater, & corn for dinner. That was good.

I would have worked out but I think I broke the exercise bike last night. When you pedal you can hear the wheel grinding. It doesn’t sound good. I think it is time to get a new bike.

Yesterday when I was working I saw a 5 year old little girl sitting in the front seat of a car not buckled up. She kept moving around. Really? Parents know better then to have your kids not buckled up. Come on, do you really want something to happen? Here is the question. Do you say something or not? You know it isn’t your business but you don’t want something bad to happen. That is a hard question to ask.

November 1, 2O11: The start of a new me   Leave a comment

Today is the first day of November. I can’t believe it already. Where has the year gone?

Today is the start of a new me. Today we are eating healthy and exercising. This morning I had steak, eggs, hashbrowns, and a banana. I didn’t finish my steak and eggs. I also had some orange juice. Yummy! I’m full now.

For lunch I’m having some yogurt, banana, and a tangerine. What a good lunch.

For dinner we are having BBQ chicken and not sure what else. It is going to be a great dinner. Of course TJ is going to be cooking it.

As for the exercise I think I will go for a walk and do the bike today when I get home from work. I was thinking of doing a limited time on the bike for a week and then slowing increase it every week. Does that sound like a good plan?

I have to get this started. I would love to see my girls grow up and maybe have another baby sometime in the near future.

TJ and I have been talking about it. We don’t have any kids of our own together. It would be nice to have one someday. I got my tubes tied 10 years ago after the birth of my youngest daughter. I was 22 years old. I know I was still young. I have regreted it for 10 years. We have talked about getting my tubes untied sometime. I know that there could be a chance that I would never get pregnant again. But I’m willing to take the chance.

I have been doing some research on it. My tubes are just tied. Not burnt or cut. So maybe. Wish us luck.

Thank you for taking the time to read my blog.

October 10, 2011: Day without water in the land of Cheese   Leave a comment

Breakfast-

Megas

6 oz. 2% milk

Lunch-

grilled wrap

20 oz. water

Dinner-

ham, corn, mashed potatoes

20 oz. banana milk shake

There are still some doughnuts that we haven’t eaten so I’m bringing them to work for everyone to have. I thought that would have been the best idea I can do. To make sure that we don’t eat them.

I work until 7:30 tonight so I don’t think I will have much time to exercise. Maybe I will get on the bike for a bit. I will see when I get home.

Working at Wendy’s is a hard job. There is alt the temptation of food there. Bacon, greasy burgers, and french fires. But I know I have the will power to say no. I have said no before on many occasions. I can do it again.

I’m writing this before I go to work and I will finish it after I get home. I don’t want to be on here all night telling you about my day.

I got up this morning when my alarm went off at 9 am. I was going to run a bath while I took the dog. When I tried to flush the toilet it didn’t work. Sometimes the water doesn’t fill up in the tank and you have to wait to flush the toilet.  I turned the water on in the sink and nothing came out.

I woke up my husband to tell him that we didn’t have any water. He told me that he forgot to tell me that there was a note on the door Friday saying that we were going to be out of water for a little while. They are fixing something up the street.

Thank God I had a spray bottle of water so I could do my hair. My hair is an absolute mess in the morning when I wake up. I swear if you look at me you will turn into stone. I look like Medusa in the mornings sometimes.

When I got to work I asked for my check to see how much I got. My check was $60 shorter then what I thought it was going to be. I’m stressing out about what has to be paid and what can wait.

Then when I went on break I went to the bank to cash my check and it was closed. The bank was closed because of Columbus Day. I went to Wal-Mart to cash my check and get my medicine. Wal-Mart lost my medicine so I’m waiting there for them to fill it, again. I’m on a short period of time here. I still haven’t eaten lunch yet. Finally I got my medicine and left. By the time I got back to work i was late. I had to scarf down something to eat and go to the bathroom.

Then later at work we were making some liquid cheese. We have to make it in the microwave. Someone took it out and dropped it on the floor. Cheese went everywhere. All over the floor, wall, windows and me. I was covered in hot liquid cheese. No funny!! In between orders I cleaned up the walls, windows and me.

Now I’m home and getting ready to make some dinner. I’m having a late dinner tonight. Even though I got off of work early I’m still having a later dinner.

I think I did pretty good today with no having any pop or junk food. I was tempted by the bacon but I did great. I didn’t eat any bacon. Well I did. I had 2 pieces on my grilled wrap but that is ok.

Thanks for taking the time to read my blog.

October 12, 2011: Our Anniversary   1 comment

Today we have been married for 5 years. I can’t believe it has been this long. It just seem like yesterday that we walked into the court room to get married. My daughter Stephanie was there and signed the paper work as a witness. Isn’t that sweet? 

We have done several things for our anniversary. We usually get a hotel room for the weekend and go to the movies. We are going to have to wait until tax time to do that this year. But that’s ok. 

In 2008 we went to Indianapolis to go to one of the casinos there. We only took $100 with us. When we left one hour later we had $104 dollars.  We didn’t like it very much. Well I didn’t at least. I was bored. 

Then we went to a waffle house to eat some food. I never went to a waffle house before. It was a little restaurant. I remember I ate some pork chops and mashed taters. I’m not sure what T.J. had.  

Then we drove to Fort Wayne to go bowling. We had fun bowling. I got hit on by some guy in the next lane. That was funny. We got free pizza when we were there. T.J. liked it. I thought it tasted like rubber but I ate it anyway. 

In November of 2008 we went to Davenport Iowa. We went to Daisy Dooks. A totally nude strip club. I have never been to a totally nude strip club before. I have been to other strip clubs but never a totally nude one. TJ has been to a totally nude strip club. 

When we got there it was sometime after 3pm. We checked in to our hotel room and went to eat at a place called Iowa Machine Shed. They had great food. The people were dressed up in overalls and flannel shirts. 

We got to the strip club at 5 pm. You get in free from 5-7pm. We sat down and got some drinks. Then some ladies cam out and I watched them dance. I was afraid to  go up to them.

After a while I finally did. One of them asked me if I wanted to take my shirt off and I said no. I wasn’t sure what she was talking about. Then another girl asked me the same thing after a little while. I finally lifted up my shirt after a little bit to show off my big titties. 

My husband TJ had this look on his face like what are you doing. I told him later that is what they want you to do. He was OK with it after a while. 

I got to have a lot of titties in my face and a pussy. It was so close to my face I could have stuck my tongue out to lick it. Damn that was close!!

We both got lap dances. I liked it a lot. There was this one girl who was all over me. She had a lot to drink. She was touching my tits and wanting me to touch her. It was a great night. 

TJ got to touch some tits and ass when he was there. He liked it a lot too. 

There was a line of girls lined up showing off their tits. I was in there too. These guys were all around screaming like crazy every time a girl showed her tits. 

We talked to a lot of the girls that worked there. A lot of them were just trying to get through college and take care of their babies. They were really nice. Some would go nude and some wouldn’t. It was up to them. 

After being there for 9 hours we finally left. As we were leaving there was this couple that was standing outside smoking. They told us not to leave. They didn’t want us to leave. I told them that we were there for 9 hours and had to go. They said ” Well if you were here for 9 hours then it was time for us to leave!” 

It was a great time going. We haven’t done anything like that since. I’m not sure how we are going to top that one but we will have to try. 

Thank you for taking the time to read my blog.
