So...I realized that it's been about 2 years since I last updated this blog! HOLY. SHIT. That's a long ass time guys!
Anyway, there really hasn't been too much going on. I'm still working on cutting out meat...which I have to say has been really hard lately. Also I'm still working as a CNA. My kiddos are now 5 & 3. My 5 year old turns 6 in April...that's just crazy to me too.
Hmm...maybe I'll have to start blogging again...but thought I would update!

Going Vegetarian
So. I've decided to change my eating patterns & go meatless. When I came to this choice I really have had a lot of people give me a hard time. I don't understand really why people feel the need to criticize other people's choices. I am doing to to be a healthier person & in general lose a little but of weight in the process.
I will gladly let everyone know how this turns out & if I can stick to it or not.

Oh Gosh..
I always seem to forget that I have a blog and that I should update it every once in awhile. But I never seem to get around to it, and I always seem to never have anything to write about when I come back to it.
Well, here is my slight attempt at an update on me and my life....
Tomorrow my baby boy, William, turns ONE!!! OMG!! I can't believe how fast this year has gone. I think today, if it's not freezing, I will get me and the boys some subway in honor of this day, because I know I was eating everything spicy so I could have my baby on the full moon last year. Sure enough...it worked like a charm :)
I had a list of books that I started at the beginning of the year because I was determined to read more books this year then I had before...well...I am at what? 18? 19 books? :( Rather sad to be honest. I think I at one time thought I could maybe read 100 books in a year....well...only having around 20 isn't really a goal met, that's for sure. But I guess with a little one in the house that requires much more attention then my first child did, it's really hard to concentrate on a book until both children are sleeping. So my hopes is that I can get myself some books and start into reading again. I guess this is always a goal of mine, but it seems like so many books are now series, and I really don't feel like reading a "series" of books again. I was told that Bared To You is really good, but it is also a series....grrr. I have finally got my hands on the book The Host. (yea, getting ready to leave the thrift store and there it was, sitting on the shelf, looking completely brand new, what luck huh?) So I decided that I need to start reading again and started this little brick last night. I knew I would need something for the holidays since we always seem to manage to stay with annoying people during the holidays. I was hoping to find a good holiday book, but those are hard to find if you ask me. But a good brick to read is probably better anyway :)
There really isn't too much more going on. Colby has been doing fantastic in school. He's starting to say more words then what we could have ever hoped for!
Oh yes, I am also a Scentsy Consultant now :) if you're interested in buying, hosting or joining scentsy, here is my link! Feel free to check it out!

Laid back kind of day...
Today at work was rather crazy for me. I worked with a different MA down my hall & let me just tell you it was rather nice. I really didn't know what else to do since she is so much more laid back & the other MA is a little more...not uptight, but just not as laid back.
I do kind of feel like I didn't get anything done. But I did quite a bit today to be honest. I guess I'm just not used to working with someone who is more than willing to help me out when I need it. Atleast today my back isn't sore like it normally is. But I don't go back to nursing until Friday....and I'm working with her again so it shouldn't be that bad.
9 months old
My little man is 9 months old today!! I can't believe it. I swear, the time is flying so much faster this time around then it did the first. Tomorrow we have his dr apt. so we will see how much he has grown since 3 months ago. He's on the short side, I know that for sure. As for weight he may only be a pound or 2 more...or possibly stayed the same, I don't know. He is hitting milestones like crazy tho, so I'm not too worried about that. He has atleast 6-8 teeth already, and he can stand alone for a good period of time, but only a few attempts at taking a few steps. Otherwise we are pretty much great at walking while holding on to 2 fingers and sometimes one.
Drooling has been like a sport around here. I think he drools more then anything else anymore.
Colby has been doing really great. He goes to preschool tomorrow (he goes Tuesdays & Thursdays) and I know he absolutatly LOVES school. Betty Jo tells us all the time how happy he is when he gets there and just how much fun he has when he is there. It gives me great hope for the future & when he enters kindergarten. My hope for him is that he will be ready for kindergarten when he uis 5 and won't have to wait to start at 6. I didn't started until I was 6, so it's not that big of a deal. I just want him to be ready.
Nothing too much else to talk about. I will post William's results when I get home tomorrow. Hopefully we have grow a little more then last time.

Macbook vs PC
Alright, so I know there really is no comparing between a macbook & PC but I really am in need of a new computer. My computer right now has been doing pretty well for being as old as it is, but I need something with webcam built in & something that doesn't freeze up after 20 minutes of use.
Now, my dream would be to own a 15" MacBook Pro. BUT it all depends on what my tax return ends up being this year. If I end up with more then $6,000 then I will splurge on a MacBook. If I get less then that I think I will just settle for a Toshiba 17" computer that I found that I actually kind of like.
Football
So right now I am watching the Giants vs Cowboys game. haha I wish Ray was home so I could force him to watch with me. He used to be a really big Cowboys fan but since has fallen from being a "super fan". I, even being a Packer fan, am cheering for the Giants. I kind of grew to like them last season & was pretty excited that they won the super bowl.
With the weather finally starting to cool off, it's starting to feel like football season again. I LOVE this time of year. From August until February, we are all about football in this house!
OH, yes. My Huskers won on Saturday!! WHOOP WHOOP! Super proud of my boys! Taylor Martinez has widely improved his game, and I'm glad because I was gonna write & tell them to bench him if he hadn't gotten help over the summer. I mean, this is your junior year....you should know what needs to be fixed and what is expected of you. So I'm proud of him!
Really sucks that my Sexy Rexy got hurt tho. He is on my fantasy team damn it! haha but seriously he's one of our best players and he got benched.

Well ladies and gents, it has been a good while since I last got to sit here at my poor little gateway and type out my feelings but here I am. It feels pretty good to be back in the saddle again....<-- that sounds tacky.
Anywho, not too much has really been happening in the world of me. This whole month I will mostly be working in the nursing department. I'm rather excited but a little nervous. Yesterday I got the *snap snap* "we gotta start gettin' quicker" speech. Everyone has told me not to get too upset about it since I've only been a CNA now for maybe...2 weeks? haha maybe. But I still feel like I should have this whole thing down by now. I know since I will be doing this job a lot more now, I will get better and I will get faster. I just hope I can stay doing a good job even if I do get faster. Sometimes being fast is not the best thing in the world.
What else is there to talk about? Hmmm.. oh yes. The douchbag that was working at bar quit so now Ray got a raise and we actually have a little more money on hand. I couldn't be more happy. I think if Ray tried to get a day off, he probably would be able to now since there are other people who can cover for him and are more then willing to do that.
Speaking of this situation, one of my coworkers...I'll call her, *Sherry* ....has started hanging out with this guy who quit the bar. Now, I don't know how to explain it, but it is such an awful idea for her to be doing that. He is one of those guys that will stalk you until you answer or call back. He thinks he is the best thing since sliced bread, and he's really just a only child loser. Now, I know she is divorced and she is lonely, but to me, her hanging out with him just makes her look extremely desperate. She is also friends with the biggest whore in the town, but refuses to realize that that's what she is. I guess in this town, the only way to "have a good time" is to hook up with someone or have sex...yea, that's what gets you a reputation.

---sorry, this has turned into a vent---
Sherry* is also the friend who has told me that I should not even bother talking to Ray about moving or wanting to build or marriage or any of those things. I did, however, tell Ray what she said and he is actually rather upset about it. He told me he wishes she would stop saying that shit, but like I told him, she thinks she knows him better then I do. She also is the one who has called be bipolar because I refuse to dance in the bar here in this small ass town. Sorry, but I don't feel the need to dance in a small town bar. Too many eyes on me. Now if this was Lincoln, sure why not. Bigger bar, it's dark, people don't give a shit what I do. Small town bar, people EXPECT you to act like a fool and grind all over them because you did it one night when you were super drunk. Apparently, this makes me bipolar.....??
She sure likes judging me. Hon, you hang out with a slut, & I don't go around calling you a slut, I just try to help you realize why people are talking.
~~~Vent Over~~~
My little men are growing up so darn fast. William is going to be 9 months old here on the 10th and I can't believe it. I'm still in the process of trying to figure out what to do for his birthday. Since we have no idea what the weather will be like, I can't really prepare.
Colby is 3 and doing amazing at his new preschool. He is really starting to talk more then what he was. He doesn't talk a WHOLE lot, but he has been using his words much more then before, so I'm really glad.
haha ok, so there really wasn't much of an update there but I guess I more just wanted to vent it all out.
Alright, until next time!

Update
So it has been a really long time since I last posted anything, but here I am today!
Not too much has really been going on. I have done my studies & now am a CNA! Yey! I'm so glad that I have made this transition into the nursing world. I finally feel like I have a career more then just a "job". I do, however, feel that being a CNA is def at the bottom of the food chain. But the next step would be to be a Med Aide & I don't think I'm ready for that. At least not yet. I want to improve my skills as a CNA before I move forward as a MA.
Colby is in preschool & he has been doing great! We also think that we have an idea of what is wrong with him. It's called Auditory Neuropothy. I think this has to be the issue but we have to get him tested first.
William has been doing great as well. He is almost 9 months old & already is trying to take off walking...I'm a little nervous for that! He just got tooth 3 & 4 on the top so we have 4 lil teethies

Update
Well it has been a good while since I last wrote a blog entry. I have been extremely busy with work and the kids. Where do I start??
Work. Since half of my department decided that they wanted to go into the nursing department, I have decided that I would go ahead and move myself into that department also. Right now I am taking classes to get certified as a NA. Let me just tell you, it's not exactly easy. I'm feeling so out of the loop right now it's awful. But I'm hoping that over the weekend I will be able to catch up a little with my book work. She only wants us to work about 4 hours at a time, but I think on Sunday or even tomorrow I will stay just a little bit longer so I can get more done. She wants all of us done by next week. There are 18 chapters and I'm on 4. Ugh. I'm hoping that moving my focus will be what is right. I would be making more money and I could possibly get on days so I could work while Ray watches the kids. I just hope I don't fail. That right now is my biggest fear.
The kiddos. Yesterday Colby had his first day at summer school! OMG! I wanted to cry that morning. I was really excited for him but I was also extremely nervous. He had never been around that many kids in that kind of a setting before. But from what they told Ray, he did amazing and had a great day! I'm so happy! He goes back tomorrow, and I'm hoping that he has just as good of a day then as he did yesterday. I think this will help improve his speech a lot. He needed this for sooo long.
William is growing up soo darn fast! I can't believe he is already 6 months old. He has been trying to crawl now for about...oh....maybe 3 weeks? He has now figured out that he can get himself to move forward if he gets his legs under him right. Soooo funny! He also got his first tooth a few weeks ago and I'm hoping it's the only one for a while. He's been sleeping a lot more lately so I know he's growing. He's already about 18 lbs. (Colby wasn't 17-18lbs until he was 9 months old) I always get nervous that my baby will grow up too fast. I can't believe Colby is 3. I'll be turning 27 on the 29th this month....woooo lol.
Not too much else has really been going on. I guess I'm just really scared that when I go to take my test for being an NA I won't pass. But I get nervous all the time. I usually do just fine, but I can't help but freak out. I keep thinking I will be the only one who doesn't pass this stuff. Makes me feel stupid. But if the one girl that we had working there could do it, I'm pretty damn sure that I could. (she was absolutely worthless! Never seen a worker be so dumb)
Alright, well I guess that is it for now. I will keep everyone updated as soon as I can!

Heaven is for real...really??
Alright. So, I gave in. I really didn't what to, but I did, and now I really wish that I hadn't. While I was cleaning the last room of the day at work, one of my fellow coworkers comes in and throws down the book Heaven Is For Real. I ask her what she was doing with it and she said that she found it in the den and took it home to try and read it, apparently she only got through the acknowledgments & prologue before calling it quits. She said she just couldn't read it anymore.
Once everyone had left the room, I honestly picked up the book and had a staring match with it. I kept telling myself, "DON'T DO IT NYLA! DON'T READ IT!" But for some odd reason, I decided that I can't really judge a book until I've read it for myself. So I stashed the book in my work cart and went about my work.
On my way out of work, I honestly didn't want anyone to see me carrying this book. Being seen with it seemed so sketchy and far beyond what I believe. So I took the darn then home and placed it on my book shelf. It really took me about 4 days before I decided that I should attempt to try and read it.
Sadly, I didn't get much farther then my fellow co-worker. I read as far as her and to page 8 when I said, I just can't do it. Honestly, this book was boring me to tears and I was on page 8....PAGE 8!! I really didn't see what any of this crap had to do with this little boy almost dying and seeing Jesus. And like many of the reviews that I have read, I don't understand why this sort of thing only happens to a "pastors child"...and I find it funny that it took them so many years to get all of this stuff out of the child. Do they not think that he could have made something up in the mean time? Or even elaborated a little??
Another thing I guess I don't understand is why so many people say that this little book gave them "hope"....hold up. Doesn't the Bible give you hope? Doesn't the story of Jesus dying on the cross & coming back give you hope? I will never understand why when something happens to a child, everyone always wants to believe them. I once had someone tell me "kids don't lie", but as I've gotten older, that is far beyond true. Kids lie all the time. Whether to get attention or just to simply sound "cool". I'm not going to sit here and say that this child didn't have something happen to him, but seeing as this book took so long for the father (the pastor) to write, I just don't see how some of this stuff isn't....hmmm what's the right word here....made to sound better then what it really was.
I don't mean to offend anyone who read the book and enjoyed it, but I just couldn't do it. I was bored to tears I tell you, TO TEARS! I was rather surprised that no one on facebook happened to comment on my review of the book. Either they just didn't care enough to do so, or they didn't know what to say to me since I didn't care for the book at all.
My review would be to give book 0 out of 5 stars. It really is that bad.

Crazy Mothers Day
First of all, I want to give a shout out to all the mothers out there and wish them a very happy Mothers Day! Hope it was a special one.
Now, as for my day, it has been rather up and down for me today. This morning I happened to read a blog entry written by Bristol Palin. I have to say that I was completely outraged just reading it. She pretty much is saying that the president is wrong to believe in gay marriage. And she continues on with saying that it is "well known" that children of female/male homes grow up "better"....ARE YOU FREAKIN' KIDDING ME?! I just want to slap the living hell out of her ignorant self and tell her that she will die and go to hell for thinking such things.
This is a picture of what she wrote...as you can see I highlighted the part that pissed me off the most. There were many comments on her facebook page praising her for standing up to this "abomination" of marriage. And these people are ones who sit there and say all this crap about God and the Bible and what the fuck ever.....honestly, I think they are the most ignorant people I've seen on facebook in a looooong time. Everyone, and I mean EVERYONE should have the right to marry whoever they choose and have the same rights as everyone else. I really want to punch this girl in the mouth for even talking out like this and just smack all the people who agree with her.
Marriage has been a "man and woman" for 1,000s of years and why change it? Umm because we're not as ignorant as we used to me. God made gay people just like he made black people or people that are different. He made them to teach tolerance and acceptance. People fear the unknown, reason why they turn to the Bible and say "well, the Lord says this is wrong" blah blah blah. God doesn't run our country, WE as humans do and we should look at every person just as that, a HUMAN!!
I really don't understand why people have a problem with gay marriage? I mean, seriously, how does it affect you? So your kids have friends with 2 fathers or 2 mothers. So what?? They aren't any different then you and your partner. They are loving parents trying to be just that, parents. Living in love and just trying to make life work...just like the rest of us.
Alright, that's enough of that.
My next big thing today was that before I went to lunch with my family and all my man's family, I gave my mother a call to wish her happy mothers day. Well, she told me that my brother and nephew were out at the house visiting, which was great, until she told me the news. My brother and sister-in-law are getting a divorce. I want to say that I'm shocked, but to be honest, it's not really all that surprising. To respect my brother, I won't go into details as to WHY they are divorcing, but I feel terrible for him.
Even earlier today he changed his relationship status on facebook from Married to Single. Really sad.
Anyway, that was my mothers day. The best part about today was that I got an hour and a half nap. Something that NEVER happens! So I was thankful for that.
Oh, and I posted the article from Bristol on my facebook page if anyone is interested in reading the whole ignorant thing.

Upset
My parents are out of town and on their way back, they had car troubles and are now stuck in Ohio. This really sucks. My mother has basically made herself sick over the whole ordeal.
Anyway, that is all for now.

Bachelorette Party
OOOOHHHH MAN. Last night was pretty crazy. But we had such a fun time! Here are a few pics from the party at the hotel room. I really didn't get much for when we were going out, but I did get some video that I need to post to youtube...really good.
This was a pretty fun night I must say. That piano bar was really fun. I've never been to one before, so it was rather fun to see how it all works. They did play a few of the songs that I requested. I will say, they did a lot of lady gaga request and they even did a rap request....eh.
Here is a video of Steph getting sang to at the piano bar. I think she just had the best of time! I can't wait to go back!

Flashback Friday
I'm always so darn busy and I forget to do these! haha but here is my picture!
In honor of my best friend Steph getting married, here is a flashback to Halloween about......oh...5 years ago?? We were sexy cops :) hehe Just so people know, I believe this was pre-Ray...because I was pregnant my first Halloween with Ray.
Today & tonight is all about my friend Steph! At 10 we have her Bridal shower then tonight we have her bachelorette party. It will be pretty crazy I think, since I haven't been down town Lincoln in a LOOOONNNGGGG time. After this very stressful week, I think it is very called for!

Why Talk??
Sometimes I wonder why I even bother talking or posting an opinion on my facebook. Yea, I know. It's facebook, everyone reads it and sees it, and they are entitled to state their opinions, but sometimes I wonder why I just can't write something when I'm mad and not get a lecture for feeling the way I feel.
Today was just one of those days. I had made a comment about mad cow disease being "back" and that I was going to be eating more chicken and pork. My cousin, who is married to a cow farmer, started to lecture me about how "little comments" like mine scare people out of eating beef when it was just a secluded case...blah blah blah. Now, I was just joking around. I have been cutting back on my red meat intake anyway, but she completely started lecturing me about how I'm "scaring" people into not eating beef......well, I'm pretty sure no one really listens to me. Hell, I've been the black sheep of my family for YEARS....on both sides! No one listens to me at all. And if they do they usually make fun of me. This is FAMILY that I'm talking about. I guess I never turned out how everyone thought that I would so I've been cast out.
Anyone else been considered the black sheep? Sometimes I wonder why I care so much about my family. I love them to death and always want to be around for the big things....but of course, that doesn't really matter.
Anyway, not too much else right now. I have been getting super excited because the NFL Draft is TOMORROW!!!! YEY!! I'm trying to get more involved with my football team and see where the Nebraska players will be going and who Green Bay will be getting.
I'm really hoping that LaVonte David comes to Green Bay :) He is the 3rd ranked at his position so whoever gets him will be very lucky.

Just Another Monday
I think for sure we all know that it is Monday. Boo.
The only good thing about THIS Monday is that it is PAY DAY!! WOOP WOOP!
I will say that yesterday I was a little disappointed in Ray. He didn't even bother to call to wish Colby a happy birthday. Not even a little text! Yes, I know he was working, but there is a slow part of the day that he could of at least shot us a text or something?
Oh well. He did call today, which caught me by surprise. I didn't think he'd even think about calling today.
Tomorrow I will be getting my hair cut & colored. I'm thinking I will just get a trim, since I am trying to grow my hair out. Then I will most likely just get high lights :) which I love. I have tossed around the idea of completely bleaching out my hair.....but I'm pretty sure it would scare people lol. I don't think my hair looks that bad when it's blond, but just haven't been BLEACH blond. I'm wanting my hair to be blond for my friends wedding.
SPEAKING of wedding....she has her bachelorette party this weekend and I still have NO gift. SHIT. Well...that's a lie. I do have A gift, but it's just something small. I need a main gift to give her. Grr..

Flashback Friday
In honor of Colby turning 3, here is the picture of me in the hospital with him.
Ugh...I look terrible!! But I felt like complete shit! haha. This was taken April 21st, 2009. It's crazy how fast time flys!
This is our first family picture. April 22nd, 2009. It's crazy how much thinner Ray was in 2009. I just remember how happy I was to finally have my baby boy in my arms. And now, the little booger will be 3...makes me want to cry!

In Labor.....3 years ago
My oh my, where has the time gone?? I can not believe that my oldest will be 3 years old tomorrow. I believe at this time, 3 years ago, I was just getting my epidural. Crazy to think back and remember how crazy of a day that it was. I will for sure, post a picture of Colby tomorrow so everyone can see my 3 year old baby :)
We're not doing much for his birthday this year. I will be baking him a cake tonight and then decorating it in the morning. I decided not to go with a Spongebob theme like I have for the past 2 years...I think I'm kind of over it now. I plan to put a toy Mater and Lighting McQueen on his cake. He LOVES the Cars movies, so I thought that would look really cute on there.
I don't know if I had ever said on my blog about Colby getting hearing aids, but we had went to get the molds made and everything. Then about a week later, come to find that the drs decided against him getting the aids because at his last testing he had improved. To be honest, I was rather relieved. That is one less thing that I have to fight with him about. I already knew that he would never keep them in...even tho the people helping us with him think otherwise. (They said the same thing about his glasses too and guess what, he wouldn't keep them on!) When Betty Jo found out about him not getting the aids, I think she was a little upset about it. The drs want to run other tests on him to see what other options he has available to him. A few other people were telling us that they think he needs to get the aids, but I think there is just something else wrong. He can hear, he just needs something else....I'm hoping not meds, but there is something else. He does have a slight delay with his development, but there has to be something else wrong, and it can't just be his hearing.
At this point in time, I really don't want to push for the aids....even tho I was sort of being told that I should. I am just waiting until we talk to the drs again and see what they have in mind for him and what they suggest. The others that we work with are through the school and the are only there at the house for maybe an hour, so they always see him when he's super fussy. I just want other tests ran before I throw a hearing aid on my child. I guess I just have to start speaking up and I know it won't be agreed upon by everyone...I already know that.
Ok, I guess I'm done for now...I have a cake to bake! haha!!

Fifty Shades of Grey
I am doing some research for my new blog and have started reading Fifty Shades of Grey by E.L. James. I heard about this series of books when I was cleaning a room at work that had CBS Morning News on and they just happened to be talking about these books. I was rather enthralled with the idea of the books. I quickly grabbed my Kindle and downloaded all three books.
I just started reading the first book in the series and let me just say, I really didn't want to put it down to write this post. It's just THAT good! Definitely makes me get a little.....hot and bothered....if you know what I mean. ;)
Honestly, I've never been into any of these sexual-romance kind of books. But this books is so much different. The characters are in their 20s. College graduates and a young millionaire who get involved with each other by chance. I've read a few reviews on Goodreads and many of them say the book is terribly written and the story line is just Twilight with chains and wipes. Now, I've never read Twilight, nor do I ever plan to. Twilight is just....eww. I'm not into that sci-fi fiction crap. This book has characters that are much more real.
Anyway, I'm only on chapter 11, but by chapter 8 you will not put this book down. It gets VERY sexual by chapter 8 and really REALLY involved. I must say that this is very interesting stuff for my book and makes for a great escape from my very hectic life here at home.
Tomorrow I will be at work and since the chapters of this book are long, 30 minutes on breaks will not be long enough for me to read all that I want. So I will have to try and read after work tomorrow, if that is even humanly possible. Gotta pray that both kids go down for a nap so mommy can have some "alone" time.
I know that many people are not readers, but really this is a great book to get lost in. I've been doing pretty well with my reading list. Yet, I did leave the book Lolita still unfinished. Mostly for the pure fact that the writing seems much too over my head. And the story line got really boring.
But for the most part, I have read quite a few books so far..atleast I like to think so. I'm rather proud of myself. Usually I give up on books after about 2 months of reading. But luckily I have been able to find something to keep my mind occupied. <-- after reading the hungers games series, I really didn't want to read anymore books for a while. I gave it 3 weeks and then started another book. This time, a paperback. It's always nice to go back to the paperback after reading on a little tablet.
Alright, well I've rambled enough now I think, so I suppose I will let everyone go and get on with their daily lives :)
