It's that time to link up over at From Mrs to Mama for Seriously Thursday's. There were so many things this week that made me say Seriously, I almost wish I would have written them all down!
SO click here to join in on the fun
1. Seriously...The hubs has a new nickname for me. Busia. Now Busia means grandmother in americanized polish. I know this because not only am I polish but that is what we called my mom's grandma. I asked the hubs if he knew what it meant and he replied no. So when I told him, not only did he find it hilarious, but now he calls me that all the time! Seriously, let me be a mother before becoming a grandmother!
2. Seriously... I can just see it now, Lovebug is going to be club goer! In my car I have a mix of music, from Adele to the Glee soundtrack to some classic rock and roll and of course a mix of top singles that are out right now. Now I love to drive with the music a little too loud! When I listen to Adele, or Glee or any of my other music I don't feel lovebug move at all. When I turned on the mix with Lady Gaga, Katy Perry and even some club song by Enrique, lovebug started kicking and punching away. The whole time that cd was one. She would automatically stop once I turned to a mellow song. It was a hilarious!
3. Seriously... What was up with Chase, one of the auditioner's on So You Think You Can Dance last Night. He had on a pair of the shortest shorts I had ever seen. HE was an awesome dancer but maybe could have put on some more clothes. It was hard to take him seriously at first!
4. Seriously...My grandparent's will be celebrating their 60th wedding anniversary this November. My grandma is afraid of traveling and refuses to go on any sort of vacation far from home. She didn't come to my wedding down in Key West because she was afraid to fly or drive that far.The woman is paranoid. She finally is letting go of her fear and decided that what she would like to do for their anniversary is go on one big family trip. The whole family picked Destin since I am down here and they are coming the week after the baby is due. I helped my aunt find a house to rent down here and everything is all booked to go. Then my grandma's friend calls and asks why she is going to Florida in August because it's hurricane season. Now grandma doesn't want to go. Seriously... You only live once
5. Seriously... It's been in the 100's here in Fl. We are currently experiencing record highs for our area and are in a drought. I love the heat as much as anyone but being 8 months pregnant in it is miserable. It took so much effort to walk down the driveway to get my mail yesterday! Seriously
6. Seriously... I have an addiction to reality tv. That's all that takes up my DVR list. Poor hubby. I know he is sick of watching and hearing about all these shows!
7. Seriously... My anxiety has increased big time since becoming pregnant. I worry about anything and everything, especially labor! I'm sure it will only get worse once the baby is born.
8. Seriously... I think I'm going to be at the beach all weekend. This weekend starts the kick off to tourist season and in Fort Walton beach everything is Pirate themed. They have a huge parade and festival and the whole town dresses up like Pirates. How cheesy/fun is that. The hubs and I are def going to check it out!
9. Seriously... Is anyone else having blogger issues? When I go to publish a post, half of the body is missing. For awhile I couldn't see my follower's nor add myself as a follower to any blogs. Pictures haven't be posting and some blogs haven't let me comment on. Seriously blogger, fix yourself!
I think that's about it for now! Happy Thursday everyone

40 Days and 40 Nights
That is how much time the hubs got for our pcs move and leave! And what's even better is that he still has a few weeks left before going back to work!
In our three years of marriage we have spent more than half of that apart. He deployed for 9 months a month after we were married and I finally moved to NC a week before our year anniversary. Although he was home for a year after that our work schedules never matched up and since I was also in school things were quite crazy in our household. Except for our honeymoon taken right after he got back from that long deployment we haven't taken a trip just for ourselves
In the past, when the hubs received leave we have taken it to go home to visit our families and friends in Wisconsin. We have been home the last two christmases and then this past August for my cousin's wedding. While we love visiting our families and friends I'm sick of the drama that's associated with it. It never fails, someone always gets upset because we didn't spend enough time with them. In a one week period we have both sides of our families to visit with. No joke we usually are doing something with someone for breakfast, lunch and dinner every day. By the time we leave to head back home we are exhausted, usually arguing or having argued over some drama that occurred and more than ready to go back. This past Christmas we decided to try something different. We told everyone exactly when we would be in town and to call us and set up a definite plan, whether it was dinner or lunch or going to a movie. That way whoever wanted to get together we saw and we weren't running around like chicken's with our heads cut off. Apparently this offended people since our families felt like they shouldn't have to make plans with us and wouldn't you know it, M broke his finger on this trip and got really sick the last few days in town, unable to move from my parent's couch for two days straight which forced us to cancel plans with some family member's. I never realized some people were upset until later when it was mentioned by other family member's. We can never win
This time we both realized that something needed to change. Right when we got back from our X-mas leave M deployed. I was upset and felt like we had no time together. At the end of November we found out we were expecting and instead of being able to celebrate and enjoy it we instead focused our time and energy on making everyone else happy. Of course that didn't happen which led us to get irritated with another instead of celebrating something very exciting. Something that he would be missing out on for the next few months.
I know this may sound unfair. We love our families and have loved being able to go home to visit. But when you spend half of your marriage apart, and go months without seeing each other, I don't think it's unreasonable that we start putting our marriage first. Especially when his leave falls after a deployment. Not only have we not seen each other in month's, but now we have to share each other with everyone else. After awhile that just becomes difficult. With the addition of little G coming soon we have decided that we won't be doing that anymore. We need time to start and work on our own little family, instead of constantly worrying about making everyone happy. And now that we live in Florida I think it's the perfect excuse for us to stay home and everyone else to come visit!
I'm sure some of you are wandering what led to this blog post? Well when the hubs was given his 40 days leave we jokingly said it would probably take a week before we were sick of each other. Since we moved I am now unemployed and he's off, meaning we have plenty of time together. Im not ashamed to admit that we were both nervous of having all this time together. Both of us are used to being independent and handling everything on our own, with him being gone so much and me holding up the homefront. Don't get me wrong, we were excited to have this time together but it just seemed surreal. 40 days with just us. No family member's or friends vying for our time. No one getting upset because we didn't spend enough time with them and 40 days of us doing whatever the heck we wanted! And I'll tell you what..
It has been pure bliss! We have spent our time working on the house, going to the beach, watching movie's at night, eating dinner together every night. We do all our grocery shopping and shopping for the house together and he even has helped clean a lot! Besides the minor married couple argument's over who left their drink cup sitting on the coffee table we haven't even gotten sick of each other.And we are fully aware that this time is precious. Soon he will be back to work and then our little one will be here. These will be our last few weeks as a twosome. Time that we will never get back again. So for these next few weeks we plan to continue enjoy our time together! There is a pirate festival this weekend we are going to. Our maternity pictures are next week tuesday and we also start our birthing classes. So much to do, I know this time will fly by. I'm going to be quite sad when he goes back to work. This has been some much needed time together for the both of us!
And to our family and friends back home you are more than welcome to visit anytime.
