Summer TV shows

Summer TV Shows!!

I plan to try and relax as much as I can before the baby comes and one way I plan to relax is by watching TV. Lazy, I know. :)

I really am a big TV watcher but I never watch the shows when they first come on.  I always record them and set a day where I just sit at home and relax and watch them all at once.  Its really nice that I dont have to watch any commercials!!


Pretty Little Liars!
This show is about a group of four girls that are trying to uncover what really happened to their best friend Alisson.  There is someone by the name of A that is holding things against them and making their lives really hard. Its a really good show!!


True Blood!
This show is about all different mythical creatures such as vampires, werewolves, witches, and more.  This is more of an adult show and is shown on HBO.  There is a love triangle between 2 vampires and a fairy and there is just a whole of drama, fighting, and killing! It really is different everytime I watch it and its very addicting!



Big Brother!
This is a reality game show where house guests are picked to live in a house all summer to win prizes and money.  They have no TV or contact to the outside world and have to find many ways to keep themselves entertained.  It comes on three times a week and they have many competitions.  Alliances form and of course there is drama!  A really good TV game show if your interested :)


I know there are more shows, but these are the ones I'm most excited about.  I of course want to catch up with shows that I didn't get to keep up with through fall and spring.  There are also quite a few movies I plan to watch! Sounds like all kinds of relaxing for me :)

End of Spring Semester!!

End of Spring Semester!! :)

The end of the semester is finally here and I can't be anymore excited about it!!  I have actually enjoyed my classes this semester and will miss them.  I have learned a lot and I feel like this has been my best semester at SWIC yet. 

This semester has been full of ups and downs!! I have been extremely distracted and also very exhausted.  One day I'm extremely motivated and ready to get things done, which I loved those days :) and the next day I wouldn't feel like doing anything at all.  Being pregnant has made my body feel exhausted just from doing the smallest amount of activity and I always feel tired.  Most times I want to go to bed at 6 in the evening and not want to wake up until the next morning. lol but I have only done that a few times. 

I decided against taking summer classes this year because my due date is right when classes will start to take finals and I don't want to have to worry about any of that while I'm getting ready for her to come into this world.  I have registered for online classes this fall and hope that all goes well being a first time mom and a college student.  I know people do it everyday so that gives me the motivation to be able to do it as well. 

Everyone goodluck with all of your classes and enjoy the summer :)

What has influenced me

What has influenced me?

This may seem funny, but lately I have been watching a TV show called Supernanny.  This show really has influenced me a lot.  I want to be a good mom more then anything right now and I need all the help I can get.

The nanny's name is Jo.  She teaches the parents how to talk to their kids in a non threatening way but in a way the children will listen too.  She also teaches them different effective ways to discipline your children that really seem to work if you stick to them.

Discipline and respect is something that I want my child to know because it will teach her to be respectful to others and act well in every situation. 

She shares techniques about good family dinners, ways to get your children to like school, ways to get your children to have a set bed time schedule and also ways to have fun family time without it being hectic and out of control.

This is a show I would recommend anyone with children or who plans to have any in the future to take a look at this show.

Summertime!!

Summertime!!

Im so excited for this semester to end!! I can't believe how fast time really has flown by. 

Summer is my favorite time of the year, besides it being extremely hot outside, I seem to enjoy myself more spend way more time with my friends and my family.

This summer is very exciting for me.  In June, I will be having my baby shower!! I'm very excited for everyone to come because we a have a lot of things planned.  This baby shower has a lot of different things that I've never experienced at another one.  We did this on purpose because I really want people to enjoy themselves, especially if they are coming there to bring us gifts :) which I can't say I'm not excited about.  Baby Khloe is already spoiled and she doesn't even know it.

I can't forget about cardinals baseball!  Every summer, I go to games and they are always a lot of fun!! Im hoping to go to as many as I can this year just as long as its not soo hot outside, I can't stand it. lol I will be about to pop and I don't want to be uncomfortable the whole time so we will see :)

I also turn the big 21 this summer!! Yes, ill be pregnant, but honestly I'm okay with that.  I'm not a big drinker and I really didn't want to get wasted to where I can't even remember what I did on my birthday so instead, I'm just going to go to the casino and hang out with close friends and family while we wait for our little one to arrive.

The biggest thing this summer is of course having my child.  My due date is July 31st, and it really is coming very fast!!

So this summer is going to be very busy and eventful for me!! I still have a lot to do to get ready for this baby so I'm very excited to get out of school so I can have more time to do them!!

Enjoy your summer everyone :)

25 weeks pregnant

25 Weeks Pregnant

Tomorrow I will be 25 weeks pregnant, which means 1 more week until my 3rd trimester.  This Pregnancy has been going by super fast so far and its crazy to think I only have 15 weeks left.

The past few weeks, my energy has been up and down.  I've been told that I've begun my nesting period because I have been cleaning soo much lately!! I have also started to get my nursery ready.  I'm getting ready to paint it and I'm figuring out what kinds of designs I want to paint on the wall. It really is a very exciting thing for me during this pregnancy :)

She has been kicking and moving around like crazy.  Sometimes it gets to where I can't sleep..which is something I have to get used to anyway :) but she also gets the hiccupps all the time!! It makes my whole stomach jump and its a pretty crazy feeling.  My hormones have been a little crazy and I also have become very forgetful!!

Pregnancy is something that is really hard to actually explain but it really is one of the most amazing things I have ever gone through! :)

Pinterest

Me and many others I know are completely addicted to this website!! It has definitely been my go to site for new ideas about food, design, hair, and many other things!!

At this point in time, I've been using it to come up with ideas for my nursery such as wall color, wall designs, and different things I can make myself instead of spending huge amounts of money at a store.

I really love how you can share ideas with other people and there are news things on this site ever day.

This is a cake that I want to make :) being pregnant, I've been wanting sweets lately, especially with strawberries. Most of the time they give you the recipes for foods, so this is something I will be trying.


I'm in love with giraffes, which is part of the theme of my nursery so my boyfriends granny is going to make this for our little girl :)


This is a picture that I'm going off of for my nursery, but of course there will be some changes because my bedding has giraffes and other animals on it. I'm in love with this color :)


There are also a lot of DIY projects you can get off here, which I have pinned many of them that I'm going to try to do. I recommend anyone to use this website!! :)

Hungers Games

The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins

I read this book over spring break and I absolutely loved it.  I have never read a book like this before.  I feel like this book was pretty brutal and definitely didn't hold anything back when it came to violence, love, and loyalty. 

I read it because everyone I knew was reading it and they all loved it so I had to see what the fuss was about.  Now I understand! I couldn't stop reading it once I started, it really did suck me in.  The way this book is written was really good.  It has great detail and talks about things Ive never read in a book. I started reading this book not knowing anything about it, so if you don't know anything about this book, I would go at it the same way I did, because you will be surprised.  I'm not very good at explaining books without giving anything away so ill let you guys look it up and decide if its something you would want to read.   I have already started to read on in the series and can't wait to see how everything turns out!

I have to go see the movie now, so I'm hoping I'm not going to be disappointed.  The makers have a lot to live up to!

Belly Laughs and Emotional Highs of Pregnancy

Belly Laughs and Emotional Highs of Pregnancy

I have recently read a really funny book by Jenny McCarthy called Belly Laughs: The Naked Truth about Pregnancy and Child Birth.

This book was filled with information but not in a way that would bore you.  She was very open and honest and if you know anything about her, it was hilarious!!  She goes through the book explaining her first pregnancy and what she went through.  She explains the good, the bag, and really the UGLY about her pregnancy.

In the book she said the monster would come out of her, meaning her pregnancy hormones would lose control and she would get angry or super emotional, especially towards her husband.  Here lately, I can definitely relate to this! 

I had a really emotional and really stupid break down the other day!  My boyfriend wanted to stop at the gas station to get a soda and I had said I didn't want one at the time.  He went in the gas station locking me in my car, which I didn't know he had done.  I tried to open the door to pour out a water and my alarm started to go off.  Everyone stared at me and I was completely embarrassed!! He came out of the store and turned it off and was holding 2 huge sodas! I for some reason got upset he bought me one, LOL so stupid, I know.  He gave me this soda and it was dripping one me, I started to get upset about that, then he went over a bump leaving the gas station and the lid popped off and dumped all over my lap, that's when I started to cry, and I mean really cry and laugh all at the same time.  I couldn't control it or stop crying.  After I settled down, I couldn't help but to laugh at myself.  I've had quite a few of episodes like this since then :(

Another part of this book that I loved was when she explained the feeling of your baby moving around, which I have gotten to feel the past week.  It is an amazing feeling and now this pregnancy is feeling even more real. My belly moves a lot and I feel all different kinds of flutters and kicks.  Its something you don't understand until you go through it.

So for anyone that is having a child or plans to have one later on you should really read this book!! It really is funny and you will relate to it for sure!!

working as a waitress can be stressful!

In need of a change of scenery!

Ive been working in customer service since the day I turned sixteen.  I have had the same job which is a waitress at Denny's for almost 5 years now.

Working in customer service everyday can be challenging, especially dealing with others food!  I feel like I'm getting burnt out on waiting tables because people have grown to be more impatient and more needy.  It could be me holding grudges on the way some customers treat me.  I don't think people realize the attitudes they have towards me sometimes, which make my attitude just as bad as theirs.  The longer I do this job, the harder it is for me to act really friendly to people that are completely rude to me.  There are things that drive me totally crazy and other waiters/waitresses that work with me as well for example, not tipping your server when we have done a really good job and it makes us even more mad when the table were super friendly and talked to us like they enjoyed our service, or when they stand up at the door and put all their money in the toy claw machine.  Servers do not make a normal 8 or 9 dollar an hour wage, its way lower then that, so we survive off of our tips.

Don't get me wrong.  It isn't all bad.  I have many customers that I love and enjoy seeing everyday and customers that are really friendly and patient.  These people are what make my job easy and enjoyable.  The more patient they are with me, the quicker I will do things for them compared to yelling and being impatient, I have started to take my time which I know is wrong but being rude will get you nowhere.  I am really good at my job and I am a patient and happy person.  I know I will always be in customer service, or at least working with others all of my life, which I'm okay with. 
I can't wait to graduate from college and get a job where I know how much I'm going to make instead of going in and not knowing.  A steady paycheck is something that I look forward to having.

4 Months Pregnant!

I am four months pregnant today and it has already been an interesting 4 months!
I had my 4 month check up yesterday and everything was great.  We finally got to hear our baby's heart beat.  Its crazy how much faster a baby's heartbeat is compared to an adult.

In this last month, we have moved into a new house and are finally settled in.  On March 9th, I get to find out the sex of the baby!  This is one thing I have been looking forward to for a while now.  I really want to start decorating my nursery instead of walking by an empty room everyday.

I have been considering waiting and being surprised about what I'm having, but the anticipation is killing me! I don't know how anybody could be surprised, especially with their first child!

Only 4 months, never met my child, but I am already in love with my little peanut!

Top 5 Foods

So food has been pretty different for me lately, especially since I've been pregnant!!


There are things that I just can't get enough of lately, one being Flaming hot lays potato chips with cheese sauce.  Lol, very odd but I crave them all the time!


The second thing I've been craving are chicken salads withs apples and ranch dressing.  I feel like I could eat salad for every single meal lately.


Spaghetti is something that I eat at least every week, even before I was pregnant.  I'm really picky with red sauce and how spaghetti is made but it is one of my favorite foods.


Like any other person, I love pizza. Pepperoni is my favorite. I have to have ranch with  my pizza, its just not the same without it.  I really put ranch on most things I eat. lol  I try to eat healthy, but not as much as I really should.  Pizza is definitely not the way to go, but I like it.


For breakfast foods, I like egg white omelets with peppers, cheese, and turkey bacon with a side of fruit or if I feel like I want something sweet and unhealthy in the morning, I like pancakes with peanut butter and syrup, and if you haven't tried that, you really should because it is delicious!


My appetite has definitely been different lately and its hard to eat the foods I really should eat because they just don't taste the same or appeal to me as much as they used too. 

I would think being pregnant, I would crave super weird things but for now I haven't.  I mean sometimes I do want pickles or something sour.  I never crave anything sweet even though before I was pregnant I loved sweets.  From what I've read, you crave what your body needs and in some ways I can see that but when I crave potato chips, I don't think I need anything from those. lol Its definitely been a weird 4 months.

"I am from" poem

I am from a tree house
from a swing set and sand box.

I am from a little blue house on a corner
and is filled with a big family.

I am from a huge willow tree
whose spirit was as alive as the kids in our house.

I am from a fishing pole and a softball
from the Kemps and the Schuermans.

I am from a family full of hunters and a lot of family get togethers
and from a split family that gets a long well
from a family that solve their problems together.

I am from my great grandmother and my great grandfather
from a lot of deer meat and fried fish
from the birth of my grandma Brenda
from the birth of my grandpa Melvin
and from the building of the poplar street bridge by my great grandfather
from going on trips to Washington with my grandma Brenda.

I am from those moments that make me and family the people we are today.
