Advance your knowledge

Well, in response to my last blog...the "big question" was answered. Unfortunately, it was a no go this time. It's heartbreaking...but we both know it'll happen one day.

Anyways, here is my latest find. I think I blogged about this before, but I can't resist blogging about it again.

If you are military, this will apply to you...if you aren't....so sorry! (LOL)


**Militaryonesource has some amazing book deals. To this day I have no 'ordered' approximately 15 books. And I haven't paid a dime for them. They have a decent selection....there are fiction and nonfiction...self-help....the basics. There are interview guides and resume guides.

Anyways, like I said, if you are military....check it out!!!

The Big Question

I'm quite possibly getting ahead of myself here, but....I'm about to burst with excitement. I have about 4 days left of wondering before I should now the answer.


My husband and I both think I might be pregnant (yea!!!) We've been trying all year to get pregnant and are so tired of the disappointment that keeps coming, month after month. We sort of decided to quit getting our hopes up after this month. Because this time we did the whole "when you're not trying it'll happen thing" as well as the mentality of "everything happens for a reason".

Obviously because we know our situation, we know what is envolved with our mindset of "everything happens for a reason" and right now seems so perfect for that to be true.

All last week I fought a queasy stomach. So much to the point that while trying to menu plan my stomach would turn with each recipe that I came across (the pictures that is) AND (worst of all) I had to pass up my opportunity to bond with a baby after he started spitting up because I was burying my face in my arm to keep from puking on him :( That was horrible!

Anyways, fingers crossed!!! This will make baby number 3 in our house...but I think we'll be just fine. We want this baby so badly it's unreal. I'm suppose to start next Monday-ish, so by Thursday or so I'm going to take a test. I just pray this isn't another disappointment. Of the few times that I suspected I MIGHT be pregnant this year, I have never really felt pregnant. It was minor things that made me contemplate the idea being true. This month is completely different....my hormones are already off the wall, then the whole stomach thing, not to mention my boobs (...wow! we won't even go there), and the absolute craving for sleep!!!!

I know with my other pregnancies (including my miscarriage) I knew/suspected I was pregnant FAST!!! If it wasn't a queasy stomach, it was either hormones going nuts or becoming brick wall tired. So hopefully that's what this is too! I am SOOOO very praying it is. I will be on Cloud 9 if I am--queasy or not! Lol!!

Over my head much?

I'm going to be completely honest here....I am drowning with anticipation and fear! LOL. I want to do this coupon thing, very badly, but there is SOOO much out there. Right now Amber is like my right arm...if she hadn't given me so many pointers I would have been WAYYY more lost! (TY Amber!!)

I'm trying to take a few of my friends suggestions and meal plan. You would think as a mother of two I would have already been doing that (but not so much!) Any tips on great meal planning websites? I can cook decently, but I am by far not a chef!!!! I don't like to spend a lot of time in the kitchen (there's always more important things to do!) so I like quick (cheap) recipes.
