the toilet bowl

so, yesterday morning opie and i got ourselves together and drove over to clemson for the game. you know........ THE GAME. i actually was more nervous about it this year than i usually am because so many people hyped up carolina's defense and the tigers have had such a rough year. however, i don't know why i ever question my tigers. they never let me down when it comes to the cocks. it was sooooooo cold and rainy but by the end of the day it was soooooooooooooo worth it. so, carolina turned the ball over 4 times and we intercepted at least 3 of those. our offense was on fire. our offensive line played decent for once and cullen managed not to throw any interceptions. yet, all the carolina fans are blaming their loss on smelley.

what game were they watching? yes, smelley royally sucked, but we played much better than they did as a whole and the score showed it. and actually the stupid SEC refs tried soooooooo hard to give the game to them it wasn't funny. and we still were able to whoop them even with the refs on their side. actually, it should've been another 63 point game for us if you wanna get technical. carolina fumbled twice, clemson recovered both (IN PLAIN SIGHT) even the announcers were appalled at the calls, but the refs gave the ball back to south carolina both times. we recovered those fumbles within the 30 yard line. we would have scored on both drives. then there was the 3rd down conversion where cullen clearly passed the first down marker. the ref gave him a terrible spot putting him right at the marker. and then they freakin reviewed it and said he wasn't close to the first down marker!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! are you kidding me?!? they tried so hard to give it to them. there's another drive we would have scored on. so, what's that now? 52 points. and then the touchdown pass to mckinley. okay now that was the biggest load of crap i've ever seen in my life. he was out of bounds and ran back in to catch the ball, which is completely illegal in football, yet even after review the refs called it a touchdown. there's 7 points they shouldn't have had.

so.............. all in all what i'm saying is south carolina fans should be happy they had the refs on their side and we didn't absolutely embarrass them again like we did a few years back 63-17. they're all crying about how smelley ruined their game. NO, YOU'RE WHOLE TEAM ruined your game. can you not all just admit for once that the TIGERS own you!?!? admit for once, that we were a better team. THIS YEAR WE WERE THE BETTER TEAM. even if smelley had a good game, we would have had a better one.

those extra 20 points that the refs took from us so that we didn't embarrass you so badly were clearly a gift. enjoy it and quit crying and remember the score could've been much much worse. spurrier even said it himself. the tigers were a better team yesterday. who knows... maybe next year. we'll be waiting.
65-37-4. OWNED!

things i've learned at home this week.

1) if you haven't seen WALL-E. go and rent it and watch it. cutest movie in a while... definitely worth a couple hours on the couch.

2) i need central vac in my house ASAP! hardwood floors are so killer without it! i hate sweeping.

3) grass seed doesn't grow well if you plant it the day before a monsoon.

4) i want to strangle the neighbor's roosters. they are now in our yard... killing my ears at 5:00 a.m. every morning... bugging the crap out of my dogs.

5) nothing but a king size bed will do from here on out... his shoulders are too big!!!

6) pirated movies look terrible on my lcd lg flat screen.

7) men are babies when they're sick... i already knew this, but i just got reminded this week.

8) cold weather doesn't matter when you're pregnant... you're always HOT!!! it's ridiculous!

9) true friends are really amazing whenever you're going through a tough time... sometimes i forget that.

10) as much as i can't stand my job lately and i'm sick of it so much, i am sooooo blessed to have a job. i really am lucky! there are so many people right now who don't have jobs... i need to quit my bitchin and suck it up and enjoy having a place to make money.



*God will never give us anything we can't handle. He knows our hearts and loves us so much and we are precious to Him. This week WILL get better... it has to.*

so sick of being sick...

i feel soooooooo lucky to be preganant. after having a miscarriage last year and having to experience that, i feel so blessed. i just wish the sickness would go away already. i'm not just morning sick or evening sick, i'm all day sick all the time. i'm miserable. i hope that once i hit my 13 week mark that it'll just go away. praying for that.

i had an ultrasound appointment yesterday and saw the baby and got the heartbeat again and it was 171. yay for a healthy babe! but my uterus is tilted so the doctor says i need to be prepared to have some worse than usual back pain during my pregnancy since a tilted uterus causes growth a little differently. anyway, after the appointment i was sick as a dog for the rest of the afternoon. couldn't even go into work. the last 3 weeks have been pretty miserable with all this nausea and puking. i'm just hoping it subsides soon. i'm taking a prescription nausea medicine (zofran), which is like the best medicine ever... i think it's better than phenergan, but the past couple of days it hasn't been working at all. i'm worried i'm building up a tolerance to it. i'm hoping some ladies who have gone through this can give me some advice.

and it's monday...

what is it with people? it's like the more pregnant i get, the more annoying they get. please God help me to keep my patience with people and help this frustration be over soon.

and if one more person tells me how to eat, sleep, breathe, talk or act while i'm pregnant i'm going to kick them. i haven't really changed my eating habits much at all because i can't stomach much of anything. and if i think i'm going to like it, i eat and finish it and then it makes me sick anyway and i puke it right up. but, of course people are already telling me what i should and shouldn't be eating and when i should eat and why i shouldn't eat what i think i want... blah blah blah.
i can't sleep because i already can't get comfortable this early on. i don't even have a belly yet and i can't get comfortable! if i sleep on my side my neck hurts. if i sleep on my stomach my belly hurts and is sore because it's trying to stretch i guess. and if i sleep on my back (which right now is the most comfortable) i don't get enough circulation and that's not good for the baby. so, i'm pretty much doomed. but, like with the food issue, people are telling me i don't need to be missing on my sleep and don't be stressed and slow down. hahahahaha, really? you wanna work my job and pay my bills? i'll be more than happy to stay home in a stress free environment while you work my stressful job. yeah, whatever... so anyway i'm trying to stay stress free.

tomorrow i go to the doctor and get another ultrasound picture and hear the heartbeat again! yay!!! the actual BABY part of this whole thing is the only thing keeping me so happy!!! oh, and my wonderful husband. he's been awesome! i just wish other people would keep their opinions to themselves.

new to this... but not so new.

well... i used to blog on this site all the time. that was when my life was easy and right after i got married; when we were both so grounded and we were just lovin life together and being all adventurous. i was under a completely different name and my blogs were usually about life as a young, married, adventurous, party-throwing couple. figured today i'd start with a clean slate. life's a bit different lately.

and so... i have morning sickness (or shall i say ALL DAY SICKNESS) boredom. so, i can't do anything right now. literally. on the weekends all i want to do is sit. and watch t.v. and play on the computer because it's all i can do without getting sick. everytime i get up to do anything i either puke or get dizzy. it's a miserable existence. so, anyway i decided i needed to start blogging again to take up some of the time that i waste just sitting here and thinking and talking to myself... oh and sometimes crying to myself. ugh.

anyway, the tears have been bad today. worse than usual. yesterday i was super, mega bitch and today i'm the freakin hoover dam with all this water. i'm about ready to explode. i bet i could cry for a freakin year! if i could write a book as clever as jenny mccarthy did with belly laughs, i would in a heartbeat. being pregnant is definitely an experience you can never understand unless you do it first hand. and i mean reaalllly first hand. not even as a husband. you'd have to carry the darn baby.

my husband surely thinks i'm crazy. i asked him to do one thing yesterday and then after realizing he was only doing it to make me happy I demanded he stop and turn around and go do whatever it was that he was doing before i was such a bitch by asking him to do something else. and this is after yelling for a good 15 minutes. poor guy. he didn't sign up for this. we're strapping in though... hopefully just a few more weeks of this craziness before the fun of the second trimester is supposed to start!!! yippppppppeeeeeeeee!
