Allow me to re-introduce myself...and my blog

Hello all!  It's been a long time but have no fear, I am here.


I recently went back and was reading through my blog and it was pretty...well...depressing and a little boring.  I swear I am a much more interesting person, so I decided to give it a little facelift.  From now on I will be incorporating a little of my personal life but a lot of it will just be me saying what I want.  I will comment on stories that interest me, bug me, or..yes..make me lol.


I will update a little on me since it has been so long.  I am now a 26 year old wife and mother of THREE.  Yes I am done having kids.  The past two and a half years have been hectic, stressful, and trying but I have managed to come through it (with help from friends and family) and I am grateful for that.  I am trying to be more of an optimist but that takes time.  I am tempted to call this "the bitch blog" because I am one, and I do it a lot, but I also LOL a lot so I am going to stick with it :)

Bradens Picks Week 9

Every year my husband and I join our local casino's football pool. Every week we pick who we think is going to win,in hopes of winning stuff for ourselves. When you buy two cards you get a third one free so we thought it would be fun to let our son pick every week for fun too (hey people let their dogs pick!). Here are his picks for this week if you want to go make some bets and win some money for yourself lol

falcons
dolphins
bills
saints
browns
jets
chargers
cardinals
giants
raiders
eagles
packers
bengals

P.S. Your welcome!

P.S.S. This is all in good fun so I dont want to get any mail that I shouldnt expose my 5 year old to betting or whatever..hes not betting he is just picking the team he likes the most :)

Oh yeah and the Cowgirls suck and the Patriots are cheaters! GO RAMS AND EAGLES

This made me lol

One whole year

Wow so it has been one whole year since Jon got laid off. I was 14 weeks pregnant when the phone rang at 7:30 am and Jon told me the bad news. We weren't really shocked, we knew it was coming soon we just didnt know when. When I hung up the phone I lost it, I cried and cried and laid back in bed trying to figure things out. When Jon got home we talked and he was pretty sure his lay off was only going to last 3 months at the most. When I look back I really cant believe it has been a whole year! These are the things I have learned in the past year:

1. Never assume anything
2. There really never is a perfect time to have a baby no matter how prepared you feel
3. You can never save enough money
4. Material things are pointless
5. Stress effects every single thing you do, sleeping, eating, pretty much living in general
6. It is pointless to worry about things you can't control...eventhough I do it anyway
7. Everything happens for a reason, even if that reason is yet to be determined
8. Things can always get worse
9. No news is not always good news
10. I am not as strong as I thought I was, but I am a REALLY good actress :)
11. I will never take anything for granted again
12. No matter how bad things are someone always has it worse
13. Be extremely grateful for what you have
14. My children make me crazy and grounded at the same time
15. I am lucky to have the best hardworking husband out there who will do anything to make sure his family is provided for
16. Banks suck
17. I have an awesome support system in my family and friends
18. I need to stop moping and be excited for what the future has
19. We can get through anything
20. My mom always has and always will be there for me, AND she is always right :)

Hope everyone is doing well :)
