As if a baby isn’t enough we decided to add to the household.

Since I moved into my new house in January we have added:

Leo the turtle (previously Javi’s but decided to give it to Isaac)

Bear the Rottweiler

& Pitbull & Naked (rescued kittens)

We have also had birds but decided they weren’t a good fit & re-homed them to Javi’s cousin.

The stickers are missing a turtle and short one kitten but this is what Javi surprised me with yesterday when I woke up! :o)

Who says brides with half sleeves can’t be beautiful?! This will be me one day. <3

People need to open their minds a little!

Maybe I’m late, but this morning I get online and find out that North Carolina voted to ban gay marriages.

I’m frustrated, more than frustrated by this. It blows my mind how people can vote to essentially ban people from being happy. Because SOME people don’t agree with gay relationships North Carolina as a whole bans gay residents that happiness of marriage?

“Those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves.” -Abraham Lincoln

I’m not gay, but I have no right to tell someone else they can’t marry whoever they love. This is 2012, accept diversity already.

I did some research and I’m shocked by the 61% of residents who backed up the amendment. There are tons of things people don’t agree with but that doesn’t mean we’re going to change the law to suit everyone’s desires.

This topic really hits home for me. Because this is not an “issue”, these are people voting on other people’s PERSONAL lives. Not only do I have friends who are gay, but family too. And knowing them as people, real human beings, has helped me become more open minded to so many things. But the point is, they are STILL PEOPLE, WITH REAL FEELINGS. Same sex couples should not be denied their right to happiness and freedom because other people voted for it…

Just another random fact:

The last time North Carolina put an Amendment regarding marriage in their Constitution was 1875, when they banned interracial marriage.

I think this fact alone says enough about many people in North Carolina.

You DON’T have to agree with me on this matter, but that’s what’s so great about America. We’re all entitled to our own opinions, own beliefs & we should have the right to love whoever we love.

One last thought- We don’t vote on heterosexual marriages & “rules” and “regulations” heterosexual couples need to follow so WHY should straight people get to vote on what GAY people can & can’t do?!

Through all my frustration and feeling overwhelmed I’ve been hitting the gym and working on the Insanity 60 challenge with my boyfriend & friends. From day 1 I’ve asked Javi and my friends to help keep me motivated. When I don’t feel like working out, they push me. I know this isn’t ideal and that’s not their job but I’m so thankful they’re so supportive. I’ve heard after doing something new for 21 days it will become a habit. Even now, they push me and I’m FINALLLLLLY seeing results. This picture may be kind of ballsy because I still don’t have “that” body & I’m still not as skinny as society expects me to be. But these are my day 1 & day 30 pictures. Down 11 lbs so far.

Love it or hate it, I’m proud of myself right now and I am determined to have the body I really want.

Lately, I’ve been feeling so overwhelmed it’s not even real. I decided to write everything here because I figured, maybe, at least one person could relate.

I have school, work, a 2 year old and my puppy on a daily basis… that’s fine. I signed up for it. But then I mix in homework, bills, cooking meals, CLEANING, laundry, etc. And I feel like I can never get everything done in one day.

I’m done with school by 3 Monday, Wednesday, Friday but by time I get to homework I am still trying to watch the puppy and Isaac at the same time. My house has looked like a tornado has gone off for the past two days and looking at it makes me more crazy. Going to the gym helps relieve whatever is on my mind but I’m usually not getting to that until midnight if my boyfriend will stay here for an hour while Isaac sleeps.

The semester at school is coming to an end and I have recently started feeling like I’ll never be finished. I have changed my major 3 times in hopes that I will find something I really like and can see myself doing for a long time… but it seems that every time I get one class that is harder than my others, I drop it. Not because I can’t do it, but because I feel like I don’t have that extra time to try. Maybe that sounds awful but whatever. I already feel like I can never finish everything by myself so I would feel terrible asking someone to watch Isaac a little longer or something while I go to tutoring or try to do homework alone. AHHHHHH, I’m just so frustrated and starting to feel discouraged with the whole school thing. Sucks because it’s the one thing I always told myself and everyone I was going to do.

I understand all of these responsibilities are my own problem. I’m just venting about trying to organize them in a way where it works for me. :)

Oh, not to mention, I have people on Twitter telling me I don’t know what exhausted is because this girl goes to a university and has two kids with her husband.

Last time I checked I’m a single parent, go to school, work, have cameras in my face while I struggle, etc. (This is not me complaining, just proving a point that I am tired).

Since when did life become about arguing who is more tired anyway? I seriously wonder what goes through people’s heads sometimes… then again, they probably wonder the same thing about me.

Ok, now I’m just going on about things that nobody cares about, thanks for reading some of the bs that I have in my head. ;)

This week in our house-
Isaac started saying “de nada” and last night he asked me to draw bugs with him… while I was trying to do my Spanish homework of course!
