Time For TEEN MOM

One of my favorite shows ever is Teen Mom. I started watching the very first episodes called Sixteen and Pregnant. I have no idea what is so great about this show, but it is raw and real and shows the emotional ups and downs of being a mom. Although I wasn't sixteen, I was nineteen and it is not easy...but HERE I AM. I have alot to be thankful for...

If you haven't watched the show, I encourage you to check it out. I found this video on youtube highlighting the very first season of Teen Mom and that will help you kind of catch up. You can also go to www.mtv.com/teenmom and see alot of past episodes and big clips from the show. Below is a little bit to get you started ....



The shows comes on tonight at 10et/9ct and I will be back posting my thoughts on the show so come back and check it out!!

Boring Bedrest!

Today is day number four of me being in the bed. I wish I had some quirky little post to put here, but the truth is that I am BORED OUT OF MY MIND. Today is my husband's first day back to work leaving me here with two little kids who have to be entertained every waking moment of the day?? Somebody SAVE ME!!!! Ahhhhh!!!

So, before I go... I want to know. Who do you think Ali is going to choose on the Bachelorette? I went on Reality Steve (www.realitysteve.com) and so far everything he said has been right, but I never would have guessed the ending. I have a feeling tonight's show will be realllly good.

Also, I am jumping out of my seat with excitement that Teen Mom is coming on tommorrow night for it's second season. I just can't seem to get enough of Maci, Farrah, Catelynn, and Amber! (More posting on this soon, I promise!)

This is the week that my designer is planning the big reveal for my new blog look so keep checking in... I am so excited! She does great work and has reasonable prices... and she has really taken my design ideas and ran with them. She will have a blog button installed that takes you right to her sight so I encourage anyone wanting a new look to check her out!

So............... who's next????

Worst. Day. Ever.

Yesterday was the absolute worst day of my life. I woke up with the most horrible pains throughout my body. I felt like I had been run over by a truck, but I hadn't done anything the day before. My husband was off work THANK GOD, I called my mom and begged her to help me because I could barely move. As the day went on, it only got worse. I got the worst migraine which ended up causing me to have severe vomiting which then came with a 102 fever. I was in and out of it for about 20 hours straight. I had to wonder if something serious was going on considering I haven't been well for months over something called Endometriosis. I encourage everyone reading who doesn't know what that is to look it up and learn more - especially the ladies reading in childbearing years.

Anyways, I had to share because it got me to thinking about all of the women, men, and children out there suffering with cancer or other illnesses. Some of them probably feel like that for days or weeks at a time. It made me want to pray and talk to God and just tell him thank you for healing me and for giving me the strength to heal.

Next post.... Babies, Babies, Babies!

Awesomeness!

I absolutely love So You Think You Can Dance!

I have been watching this show since it started in the United States and every season it just gets better and better! Some of my favorites from all seasons are Kerrington, Chelsea, Lauren, Benji, Lacey, Ivan, Allison, Alex, Dominic, and Adecheke!

So, here are some of my favorite dancers and dances....




Bleeding Love By Chelsea and Mark was nothing short of amazing. It brought me to tears because of the raw emotion.



The next was Sexy Love By Ivan and Allison. This was the first hip hop routine that got my attention on the show. This couple was the first to bring out the "it" factor of the show, in my opinion.



It would not be complete if I didn't show Calling You by Heidi and Travis. This still to this day brings tears to my eyes.. and changed the way I looked at dance. Next week during SYTYCD (Wednesday to be exact!) I will be posting three more of my favorite routines! YAY!

Since we are on the topic of a television show, let me just go ahead and warn you - I AM A HUGE SIXTEEN AND PREGNANT FAN! I will be going off my rocker over and over about this show so beware!
