Back to Work

May 12, 2008

Well, I went back to work today. So not cool I was catching shit left and right for what I didn’t do before I left. Like I planned to be off right. I did not even know until Friday that I was not coming back. I hate hate when people expect you to have shit prepared for dumb shit. Usually I get irritated only a bit but today, I knew if I didn’t keep my mouth shut I was going to really regret it.

I was glad to see some co-workers I missed them lol. The one co-worker I really wanted to see was not in today :( hopefully I will see her tomorrow. I had a somewhat ok day with my nausea. I managed to eat half a tostada. It had re-fried beans and cheese and tomatoes w/ green sauce. It was really good with a ton of lemon. I only got the tostada because I really did not want to walk all the way up to the ATM. So I had about $1.50 to eat and drink lol. The one moment when I realized, at least this is one advantage to morning sickness.

I was shocked to see that it was raining when I started to drive home. I mean it was so cold I was shivering on the way home. I yaked as soon as I got home, so I don’t know what I am going to be eating for dinner. Jello hates me and I hate it too. It can go kiss my ass. Every time I eat it I yak within 3 minutes. I am craving chicken noodle and mashed potatoes. We will see if my hubby will make it for me, since I feel like shit.

Oh yesterday I bought my self a bigger and better hard drive for my laptop. My little laptop seems to be going so much faster. I love it. Thanks Stimulus check!! :)

Oh and yeah Note to self: Never mix Tums with Orange Juice.

I Signed up for Social Spark

May 10, 2008

Well, I had always been interested in doing some type of blogging that I got paid for. Once I started surfing through many different blogs I realized some started doing blog sponsorships as well as sponsored posts. I also heard of different issues different programs where having. Once I was referred to SocialSpark I knew I had come across the program I was going to sign up for. I love them, they have a code of ethics that shows you what standards and ethics both advertisers and bloggers have.

The following are the code of ethics: 100% Audit-able In-Post Disclosure, 100% Transparency, 100% Real Opinions, 100% Search Engine Friendly. I think Social Spark is the best option for many bloggers. I also love the fact that every participant is made viewable to the public, as this increases your blogs exposure to new traffic.

I also love the fact that it is you who choses who you decide to blog about. The reason why I think that choosing who you write about is important, because you as the blogger owe honesty to your readers. I can never imagine dishonestly blogging about a product/or service that I will never use myself.

I also love the fact that links include the no-follow attribute because it protects bloggers and advertisers from search engine penalties based on paid linking. I have heard that certain pages were losing their rank due to having paid advertising on their site. I honestly think that anyone interested in making money the honest way and love to blog should definitely sign up for SocialSpark.

Another thing that I really like is that you have the opportunity to browse other blogs and make new friends. So check it out. Signing up was super easy and fast. You just add a code snippet in your header. Then you have to have your blog approved by Customer love. It took me a total of 1 day to get approved and to have the ability to take opportunities. Getting opportunities is super easy and all the requirements are posted in a plain simple format. I really hope that you sign up and start making money now.

Bed Rest

May 7, 2008

Well I was admitted this weekend for Hyperemesis. I was there until sunday. I feel horrible. I am so tired and bored lol. I have been in bed and not left the house since I got home from the hospital. I can’t even sleep in late. I have been browsing the net for days. I am a bad blogger, with all this time I didnt blog on my site. I have been watching The Peoples Court, Maury(12 baby daddys) and cooking shows. My rationale now is looking at pictures of food will make me hungry. I found great recipes Spicy Shrimp YUMMY Well I think I will take a nap now. Woo Hoo

Zofran Makes Me Sick

April 29, 2008

 Well, these past few days have been really busy. I am starting to feel like a Zofran Addict because I NEED it to survive. I would be in terrible, terrible shape with out it lol. So of course I forget it at home when I need it the most. The hubby will be bringing it by before he goes to work. What a lifesaver. I would be doomed for sure. Well to summarize the last few days. Couch + Sleep + Hot House + Nausea = Messed Up Days. I am just glad to actually be up and walking around. Friday was so bad, I ended up calling off it was so bad. I slept out on the couch pretty much all day and my son was super good. He took sympathy in me being sick and actually tried to take care of me. He did not even complain when I plopped a microwaved frozen kids meal in front of him for lunch. To my surprise he is a lot more independent then I thought. He was able to bring both of us water bottles from the pantry as well as snacks for himself. I felt so bad not being able to do the mom things for him.
Saturday was a disaster, I was worse off then Friday, but the only difference is that I did not feel like actually throwing up. I was just unable to eat or drink anything. SO I was pretty much all day without anything to eat or drink. Saturday night I asked hubby to buy me some lemons so I can sniff and eat. LOL they worked though and thats the important thing. I was actually able to eat half a bagel with peanut butter. I slept some what ok though. Sunday I was feeling much better. I actually got up from that couch/bed and moved around with out feeling too bad. I had my moments. Later that evening I was able to eat a cupcake and a burrito so it was all good. I am so much happier that I actually started taking Zofran because there would be no way that I can function here at work. I mean seriously who want s to puke in a public bathroom. I don’t even want to puke in my own bathroom. !!! No that it is dirty, its: I don’t like to puke period!!
Today has gone by super, super slow. I day dream and come up with ways to make money at work, LOL I know. I have a business idea. I want to keep a tight lip about it though. I would need to look at what my start up costs would be as well as what my target audience would be like. As far as I am concerned I think that market is way over saturated with stuff like this, but I am sure I am a great designer and I can make good decisions as far as cosmetic look is involved. I have some ideas as to what would be included in the shop and other thinks I know would not do so great. I am in to make money but not rip people off. I have seen that people charging waaaaaaay too much for an item. For example 38 bucks for something that cost about 4 bucks to make. That’s not cool at all. I will start to set up shop soon and actually get a business plan done. I hope to see how many other people will be doing what I do. I have the ability to get “wholesale” items so we will see what I can pull off. :D I am excited. I won’t get my hopes up too much since this is about the third business venture I have had in the last few months. I honestly think the second one would have worked; especially now in this terrible economy, but it would be WAY too much liability. I might offer the services to family and friends though. The service I am speaking of is credit repair services. It’s actually very point blank. The laws are clearly written and easy to understand and execute. If you know all of the proper steps to take it works wonders. No illegal stuff either. That’s what made the plan so great, but it involved a lot of start up and covering my/my staff’s butt. Not something I want to be responsible for at the moment.
Well speaking of money I just read my benefits book for my insurance and it covers everything I only pay 1 office co pay throughout the pregnancy. Yay, a repeat c-section is covered as well. I am so glad. I know I was worried about the costs of having private insurance vs. state Medi-cal, you know because they get everything free. It ticks me off sometimes to think even prenatal vitamins are free. I had to pay 35 dollars lol ok END RANT. It really bugs me because my sister in law had trouble with her military benefits covering certain things and her husband (my brother) was in iraq. So not cool.
Lunch time is around the corner so I’d better get to working or I am going to be swamped later this afternoon.

Edit: We bought the Wii Yay! and BOO Zofran actually makes me feel worse, I have constant stomach pain, and here I am thinking it makes me feel better. Boo!

wow

April 26, 2008

Morning sickness All Day Sickness has been really kicking my butt. My MD prescribed me some Zofran. The other medication was not working. I ended up staying home on Friday. It was horrible.I did not get off of my couch all day. Today I am sort of better but I am so so tired because I havent had hardly any sleep. I need to wait for the hubby to come home to watch the boy so I can get some sleep.

Well, last post I never put my due date on the last post. Its 12-16-08 Yay. x-mas baby.

Due Date

April 23, 2008

Yay, I went to the md, AND I got an ultrasound. I am 6 weeks pregnant. We heard the heartbeat. So everything ok so far AND I got some anti-puke pills. Yay. I am super excited. I am off to work now.

Uneventful

April 15, 2008

Not much happened today. I was super tired this morning and hit the snooze button about a million times this morning. I swaare something kept waking me up. I finally got up at about 3 am to see what it was, but I found nothing. I got to work early and I guess i like walking in without anyone staring at me. Some people at my job are petty, I have had someone writing down the exact time I was coming in, the best part that person is not even part of my department. LOL! Lame Kiss Ass is what I call her.

Last night before i went to bed I played The Sims 2 to get bored and ready for bed, Sad I know. I just made myself comfy in bed and just hugggged the stuffing out of my body pillow. Work sucked as usual, I went to a couple meetings here and there. I finished a statistical project. ( I fucking hate those with a passion) Then after work I headed on over to Henry’s Market. OMG it was hilarious my son was half way asleep (this following sentence will get me a parent of the year award) we were walking in and SMACK, he ran into the sliding glass door. Some guy walking next to us was like damn!!! My son turned looked at him and said, your gonna get in trouble for saying that, huh mom. I was to busy laughing to respond. He is fine though no bruises or anything. LOL it was way to funny not to laugh though. I spent 12 dollars for 2 nights of dinner plus snacks. Tonight I maden Carne Asada and I marinated the meet in green onions, lemons, red onions, and my special Pampered Chef rub. It was so freaking good. I also made rice.

I am starting to take my camera to work now, that way when I see something interesting I can snapp a picture. I will probably snap a picture of the “animal/bob cat/ mountain lion” my job sent an “all users” memo about , it was priceless. I wish I can go back and find it, we cracked up on that all day. Then next day I was in the parking lot and I saw a small itty bitty kitty kat, and some girl ran away from it, mind you its 50 ft away, and started yelling there it is there it is Becareful it will get you and you will get rabies. Wow I thought it was awsome she was running from a kitty, thinking it was a bob cat.

Well enough with my rambling. I have to plug this site again they have the absolute cutest baby hair bows/clippies.

So, more questions

April 14, 2008

So we went to the MD today, and my dates are way off. I ovulated really late, all we saw in the ultrasound was a sac, so I am like 4 weeks along. Yay more blood draws tomorrow and thursday and an appointment on wednedsay. We are super excited, and I finally told my mom, whew. Now my brother, lol.

Lazy Day

April 12, 2008

Well today I woke up around 8 am which is not normal for me at all. I made breakfast, yet another un-normal thing and we headed out to find some maternity pants with a belly panel. I did see some but not for the price that I like, we went to mother hood maternity, kohls, and target. I only managed to find some brown slacks for 6 bucks. Why am I so cheap. lol We then went to a buffet and stuffed our faces. When we got home after all of that, we took the boy to the pool. We are so spolied here, they have comfterable seating areas and you can pretty much reserve your area but just sitting somewhere. lol I hate when I am sitting some where and someone sits right next to me and theres is so much open space, it ticks me off.

I have been taking some pictures when I have been out, so I need to upload those and get them up on the walls. Our walls are still so bare. I can’t wait to get them printed.

I am waiting for the hubster to come home, so I can get something to eat, we have to really go out and get groceries there is no meat at home. I can have the rice and mashed potatoes I want, but no chicken. I am going to watch some TV and relax, G’Night

Long way to Monday

April 11, 2008

Man, its going to be a hell of a wait until Monday. Thats when I have my OB appointment. I cannot wait, lol (hehehehehehe) Today was an OK day at work. Same patients same drama as always just different names. Sad but oh so very true. Some lady called and cussed me out today, and I always take it so calmly that my co-workers think that I am insane. I reserve my most sarcastic tone for these calls and always end, thank you for calling, and I was glad to be at your service, LOL and you know that as soon as I hang up I say Bitch.

I ate Thai food for lunch and a mc chicken for dinner. I also bought my self a salad for when I get hungry tonight. McDonalds dollar menu salad looks really good, and it comes with very good dressing. I went to Target, Old Navy and Ross looking for a couple of maternity outfits. I only found some at Ross. I spent about 53 bucks, but its stuff that I can use after the fact. Because I wont be a fit after the baby.  I picked up 3 Maternity shirts, and 2 regular Large shirts. I also got 2 bottoms, Black slacks and Blue Jean Capris. They are very cute. Now all I am going to need to hold me over is a belly band. I want to go to Forever 21 and just find a couple of their tube tops. LOL I am so cheap. I got some leggings from them the other day for 5 bucks. They are super cute, but none of my skirts for so ummmmmmm yeah, I will have to wear them with some type of longer shirt or a dress. I cannot believe how fast I am showing. I guess its because its my second baby, my abdominal muscles did not heal. You’d think that 4 years would do it lol. I have noticed that I cannot walk for too long with out my back starting to hurt a little. Its reassuring and a constant reminder someone is in my belly lol. Well I am off to relax.
