My life after the 15 minutes…

 What a a morning. Usually I write about my past, my screw ups, being a mom, my insecurities and the funny (and annoying) things that come from being a total moron who fell in love at 13 years old and never let go. The subject of today's blog may be more important that all of those, you may want to sit down for this.  I woke up to multiple texts from my sisters that Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell were spotted out together (in Dallas no less!)--and she's broken up with her fiancé. Could it be the romcom couple with the most palpable chemistry ever may give me the public romance that I've always wanted to see?  Of course I'm being a little facetious--but cut me some slack, I've been essentially bedbound since my lady parts decided to erupt blood late into my last pregnancy.  My favorite movie of all time is "Anyone but you." Whenever it's my turn to pick the movie its what we are watching, I can recite it line by line, I sing the songs, I make my husband...

 One of the things I've always strived to do ever since we became "public" is protect my kids and try as hard as I can to make them background characters in all of this. They are the reason I will always remain mostly anonymous as a long as I keep posting. First and foremost, some very disturbed individuals said some awful things about them and that scared the crap out of me. But maybe just as important is that I don't want to make a choice for them about their own public persona's that I can't take back. I guess the argument I had with my daughter is a great example of why I feel this way.  As I have mentioned in the past I adore my daughter. When she was born I was 100% convinced that I had given birth to second coming. She was so beautiful and she was such a great baby. She slept, she ate and she was very healthy. But as she started to mature it became pretty clear that she and I have very different personalities. I have to admit that I made the mistake of ...

 So I think my husband has something of fight kink or something...I don't know. I do know that I am 3 weeks away from delivering a baby, I feel like crap and there is no sign that this baby wants to leave her/his mama. Both of my other kids were delivered about two weeks early and a week prior to that they were telling me "be ready, this baby is coming out any day now." I just had an appointment today and they basically said expect this little guy to go for the full 40 weeks. I know I shouldn't want to rush but I'm kind of over this. On the way home I was moping that I'm really bored. My in-laws are taking care of the kids, getting us dinner, keeping the house clean--and making me feel like a prisoner. I'm pretty sure if Bubs and his mom had chains to shackle me to the bed, they would--and the thing that sucks is my OB would encourage it. She said save for short walks a few times a day, I need to be resting. I'm a spaz and resting when I don't want...

 It's a very good day to sit down and write this out. My husband, son and in-laws are on their way to the airshow on the Air Force base. I guess it's kind of crazy that I have technically been an military wife for 11 years now and I know so little about it because we never lived around my husband's unit. I know that they are all thrilled to actually get to go to an airshow. I guess it can equate to miles and miles of walking so I really couldn't go even if I wanted to. My daughter is at a sleep over with a boy her age from her wrestling team. I would have never thought I would be ok with a multi gender sleepover but Bubs made a lot of sense when he said Abby has been having sleepovers with her boy cousins since she was a baby and that's probably how she sees a sleepover with her new little buddy. The boy's parents are super nice and an active duty military family and the mom is going to show me around on base and how to make use of all the stuff I have access to...

 Hi everyone, thank you so much for being concerned about my lack of posting! I don't have it in me to keep you all in suspense so I am just fine! In fact, physically my condition has improved quite a bit.  I had a follow up with my OB last Friday and she things thinks have healed enough for me to get up and start doing some light walking. I was going insane just lying in bed, I think everyone has picked up on the fact that I have a very hard time sitting still and always need to be in motion for something (some people, maybe someone I'm married too, would rudely call me "spastic" and "annoying") so even light walks through the house and around the block are such a relief. Its pretty much set in stone that I can't lift anything heavier than a toothbrush until after the baby is delivered--which is less than a month away--so I think I'll manage.  In a small way, it's felt like home for the last few days. My in-laws are still here and they are now p...

First things first, I had a follow up with my OB yesterday and while both me and the baby are fine, the events of last week do make things a little more complicated and now I am a very good candidate for a C-section. This freaks me out for so many reasons. First of all, I just don't want to have surgery. Second of all while the childbirth process was terrible, being mostly alert and awake when my first two kids were born are among the very best moments of my life and I've been looking forward to that with this pregnancy. My OB here is great and I definitely trust her but I did put in a call for the OB that I was seeing in Texas to get her opinion. As I've mentioned, she delivered my son, she delivered all 6 of my nieces and nephews and most of my cousin's and cousin's wives kids and I have a ton of respect for her. She's supposed to call me back later today. The OB here in Tucson pretty much said that I am in bed as much as I can possibly handle it until I deliv...

 So as usual, I'm way behind on blog posts and a week ago I promised a forthcoming part II of my thoughts on the potential bankruptcy of the "great" American restaurant; Hooters. I fear the moment may have passed on it but its still something I'd like to talk about so I promise I'll get it to it.  I had what looks to be a second Vaginal Hematoma burst on Friday morning. I was taking it easy and all of the sudden I had a massive amount of blood pooled on the sheets with me. Bubs was just walking in the door from the dropping the kids off at school so I didn't have to chase him down from all over town. Since we were pretty sure we knew what it was, we were much calmer this time but called my OB just in case. I was able to actually talk to her and her advice was that the hematomas are rare, but two of them in a short period is almost unheard of so go to the ER and have them ensure that something else isn't going on. To cut to the chase, they really don't ...

 I hate blog posts that start off with "I had a major health scare!" and then force you to read well into the post before getting to the part where they are ok.  Both me and baby Cado are fine!  But it's been an interesting couple of days.  I can't believe it's already Thursday and this happened on Tuesday...it was highly recommended I stay in bed for a couple of days and I guess I must have really enjoyed the rest.   I know most of my readers are men, so sorry guys, this may be a little gross, please forgive me. On Tuesday morning I dropped the kids off at school and it started to feel like I was getting my period. I got home and had a small but signifgant amount of blood in in my underwear. I spotted a tiny amount during both my other pregnancies so I wasn't panicked but it got my attention. I went about my daily chores and as I was reaching up to put a dish away I felt a gush of blood, it was so much it was actually running down my legs. That caused me t...

If you've been around a while you may remember that in the very charged atmosphere of my appearance on reddit, my husband let it slip that I was a Hooters girl. It's not that I was trying to keep it secret but in light of the way I appeared on the scene, it wasn't something I was necessarily ready to go into yet. But since he's always "so funny" he thought it would be hilarious. My reddit trolls reacted just like I expected they would, everyone else was very friendly and respectful.  Having said that, the day that my first account got banned was the day that a reddit troll called me all sorts of insane names regarding my employment at Hooters and said he had pics of me with my uniform half off giving "oral" to a trucker. I still don't know why I was banned but the timing of it makes me think reddit had finally had enough and with the threats of pics being posted they pulled the plug. To be honest, I wasn't that scared because I know those par...

 I think one of the major things that both me and my husband have discovered throughout the past year is that when we are dealing with new issues, that inevitably brings up things from the past that have hurt both of us. Sometimes these are silly little things that we can laugh about now, sometimes they are actually things that have scarred us both pretty deeply. Sometimes they should be silly little things but for whatever reason they still really sting.  On my blog from Thursday I actually got to learn something that I didn't know about my husband and Brian's relationship. There is an 8 year age gap between Brian and Bubs but when I say they are the best of friends, I literally mean they are the best of friends. I always assumed it was because like Bubs and I grew up together, Brian and Bubs grew up together. No doubt with 3 very dominating older sisters, Bubs must have seemed like the very chill older brother that seemed like the calm among the exceptionally hormonal storm ...
