Welcome To The World


After 3 days in labor finally today my best friend gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. Welcome to the world Lilian. You're not even a day old and you've already touched so many lives. You are so loved, and so blessed to have the parents that you have. Always remember that life is not easy, but if you put your mind to it and want it bad enough, you will succeed in everything that you strive to achieve.  For now just enjoy being coddled by Mommy and Daddy and your Grandmother and Grandfather. And once you're old enough, be free... follow your heart, and always do what Mom says.

Love you.

Driving In Fear

I am the QUEEN of procrastination! I have been told for a while now that I need new breaks and new tires on my poor little Toyota Scion. ( I drive a standard like a boss) A couple weeks ago my water pump went, and my mechanic said I needed new tires like last week because there is metal poking through one..... But I said... It can wait. I mean I just spent $ 400 on a water pump!

So now I drive in fear because the tire is getting flatter and flatter and I have such a long commute to work. (I'm getting new front tires tomorrow I promise) My fear is I will get a flat, like I have before. And the last time I got a flat, things didn't go so well. I attempted to change it myself. Therefore, I put the donut on my car. I was so proud! Only to be told my a bunch of people at a rest stop on my way home from Boston that I had put the donut on backwards. ... Don't ask me how I did this. I have no idea. All I cared about is that it was drivable.

So I ask that you all pray that today I make it home and to the tire shop without having to call for assistance. It's Friday, I don't want it ruin my plans of going home, drinking wine and watching my Big Brother/ live feeds like the no life weirdo I am ;)

I'll post a real blog later, this was just a rant and a story that was on my mind.

Till then...

The Truth: Part one

I'm going to admit that Jay, you shouldn't be reading this. Even though you know all of what I'm going to confess or share in my 'Truth' posts. I just feel like it may just not be what you want to hear. But I need to get some of this shit out.

Truth one, I started this blog after finding my ex's new girlfriends blog. And all the girl blogs about is him. And how he's so chivalrous, and romantic and blah blah blah! What really ticked me off was in the first blog of hers I read she said that he told her that she is the first girl he has ever said I love you to. Um, I'm sorry girl, but if you believe that crap you're sadly mistaken. I was with him for 5 years. He was telling me he loved this past January. I'm not saying he doesn't love you but really? Anyway.

Let me rewind.

I was with this man for 5 years. He came into my life when my son was just turning 3. I had just gotten out of a bad relationship and he scooped me off my feet. In a way he saved me. Which now years later I'm finally realizing he is the type of guy who just wants to date a helpless girl, and if she has a kid, which his new girlfriend does, the BONUS for him! He's great with kids. So basically he replaced me and my son for another girl and her younger son. Pattern? He calls her son little dude. He called my son little dude. He put my son before everything and that's why I loved him. He did sweet things, like opening doors for me and when I was sick he would always do something to make me feel better. For example, I love Twilight, so when I would be PMSing he would put it on for me, get me chocolate or Chinese food and kiss me quietly while I went through my mood swings. Which apperently he does for her to. Lol okay.

Basically my point for this blog is to say the truth. The truth is, I'm happy he thinks he's in love. I'm happy he moved on because I have. I'm glad someone else has to put up with his mind games. I am so blessed to have a boyfriend now who loves me for all my faults and all my weaknesses and puts up with me. I feel bad for her cause I think maybe he will break her heart. But like the title of my blog, you live and learn.

There is a lot more to this whole story, and maybe in time I'll fill in the blanks. But for now, I'm happy. I love my man. I can't wait to marry him and have his children. He is my future. And my past is pathetic and doesn't matter to me anymore.

Till next time....

Inappropriate Selfies

      It's coming to the end of my day at work. Around this time I usually start to avoid all my little tasks as long at my larger ones are done. The phone still is ringing and patients are still calling for their pain medications. Some of my coworkers are leaving for the day as I still sit here and get the little things done for my Surgeon.
      I usually have a panic attack around this time of day. No reason in particular for the panic attack, it just happens. It used to only happen when I was in a large crowd or a grocery store. Now it just happens when it happens. If it gets really bad I'll text the love of my life and he will say, "focus on your breathing, you're okay." God I love him. I still don't know how I landed such loving and handsome man.
     I didn't tell him that I started this blog, or that I was going to continue it hopefully daily. I'm not really sure what to blog about. My blog is titled Live and Learn. So, I guess I just tell who ever reads this about my experiences in life and what I've learned from them.
     Maybe I won't though. I'm terrified of people knowing the things I've done in my past and all the things I've been through during my 27 years on this earth. I'll have to sleep on that tonight. Do I really want random people knowing about my mistakes and triumphs? Do I even have any triumphs?
     

    As I think about, I'll tell you about something exciting that happened to me today. Every morning as I drive to work I listen to Elvis Duran on 101.3. They always ask their listeners to call in. And I have many times, the line is either busy or they keep me on hold for so long and can't get to my call. So finally today they were talking about taking inappropriate selfies. Like the one that Doctor took with Joan Rivers during her surgery which she died from. So I called once and it was busy as usual and decided hey, I'll just text in my inappropriate selfie story and if they read it yay, if not whatever. So I sent a text that read, 'A surgeon I worked with took a selfie with something he pulled out of a mans ass while he was still in the OR.' Five seconds later my phone was ringing and it said ELVIS. I picked up and it was who they call 'The Worst Assistant Anthony'. He said "OMG I just read your text, can you hold for Elvis?" I did and then as I sat there on hold my heart was pounding out of my chest! I was so nervous. I was driving and my right leg was shaking. I drive a standard so this was looking bad. I was having a panic attack. Then all the sudden I head 'Hello Kaitlyn!" It was Elvis!!! I love him. He makes the start to my day so wonderful. He asked me to tell him the story so I did, and then he asked me if it was okay to tell him what was pulled out of the guys ass. It was a papaya mango aerosol spray can. They were laughing so hard. I love Danielle's contagious laugh. At the end of our short but hilarious convo about this poor mans anal problem he told me I was his favorite caller of the day and asked if he could send me a t-shirt. I was so happy! What a way to start my day :)

So for today that is all. I'll let ya'll know what direction I want to send this blog into later or tomorrow. But it's time for me to pack up my stuff here at work and go home to the love of my life!

Thankful for love

Thank you to everyone who came to Aydens party or sent him a card and wished Ayden a Happy 9th Birthday! 🎉 He is so thankful for all the gift cards and cash he now has in his bank account and is debating on what "big purchase" he should make! 

The best part of the party was when he opened his new XBOX 360 from Jay and I, and said " You guys didn't have to do that." I'm so proud to have a son who is thankful, kind, and appreciative of what he has. 

He was especially happy that Grandma Heidi came and enjoyed the beautiful day. He told her that Papa Jack was there with them and would've been all over his cake if he was. 😄 #truth 


And lastly thank you for all the Happy Anniversary messages for Jay and I yesterday. I am so blessed and lucky to have such a strong amazing man in my life, who loves me and puts up with me though thick and thin. This past year has not been easy for him, but I think it's a testament to our relationship and how he, Ayden and I are a family and will always be no matter what.

Till next time....
