Project 31: Day 30

Day 30. What do you think is going to happen to you after you die?

I'm not sure. I've had this conversation with my mother many times and we have many different theories. We've wondered if we continuously relive our lives or if we go to a different dimension. Of course, the concept of heaven and hell.

I have no clue but I hope that, no matter the outcome, we are reunited with the ones we love (Mitzi, my Yorkie, passed away this morning and I hope that Will and I will be able to see her again). I also hope that unsolved murders/disappearances are solved (I'm obsessed with missing person shows).

Project 31: Day 29

Day 29. Your day, in great detail

0700: Woke up, washed face/brushed teeth and got dressed while Liam was still sleeping. My phone was dead so I was convinced that I had slept in a little only to realize that it was 0730 when the dogs and I made it downstairs.

0730: Planned a trip to the grocery store for something for breakfast; sat on the floor for about 30 minutes.

0800: Liam woke up and my younger sister brought him downstairs.

0830: My mom watched Liam while I headed to the grocery store but actually ended up at McDonald's. Picked up a Fruit and Nut Oatmeal and small cup of coffee.

0900: Made it home; Fed Liam while my mom got ready to head to work. Played and watched tv.

1000-1200: Talked to Will on Skype. Liam took a nap.

1230: My mom came home from work. Since Liam was napping, I made a quick trip to Walmart (for Will's birthday care package, post to come soon) and Sally's.

1300: Returned home. Liam was still napping until he heard my voice. Fed Liam.

1400-1515: Played, fed Liam, more playing.

1515-1605: Talked to Daddy on Skype.

1605-1800: Played with Liam and the puppies; Liam took a 15 min nap.

1800-1900: Liam hung out with Grandma while I surfed the net and spent time with the dogs (they're starting to get jealous of all the Mommy/Liam time). Grandma put Liam down for a nap.

1900-2000: While Liam napped, I ate dinner then continued to surf the net and research Will's birthday present.

2000-Bedtime: Liam woke up from his nap. More Mommy/Liam/Grandma time. Followed by bathtime then bedtime (and of course, taking the trash to the curb since it's trash day). Another lazy Sunday comes to a close.

Project 31: Day 28

Day 28. Write about your insecurities as a woman.

Most of my insecurities as a woman center around my abilities as a wife and mother.

As a wife, I feel that I may not measure up. I only have one kid and I see moms/wives who have multiple children and look awesome. I really don't know how they do it. Seriously. Someone give me some pointers, haha.

As a parent, I want Liam (and any of our future children) to be an amazing human being so I am definitely a little insecure in my abilities as a mother and female role model.

Project 31: Day 24

Day 24. What is God teaching you presently?

I think God is teaching me patience. I have never been a very patient person and that just doesn't work well when you have children (and dogs...and a husband). I still have issues (especially when I'm sleep deprived) but I'm definitely working on it.

Project 31: Day 22

Day 22. What did you do today?

So far, I woke up this morning and decided to take my new running shoes out for a spin.
Artemus and I went for a short walk/run around the neighborhood.
Asics Gel-DS Sky Speed

After I took a quick trip to the grocery store. Liam (who stayed home with my mom and sister) was awake when I got home so I played with him and changed his diaper. I made a baked egg concoction (egg, canadian bacon, sausage and asparagus) for breakfast.

After that, the day blurs together with internet time, Liam time (nursing and naps), laundry time. At 3:30pm, I dropped Mitzi (our Yorkie) off for a haircut (she came home completely bald) then we celebrated with walk around the neighborhood. She got lots of love and even met Biscuit, a Silky Terrier who lives a few buildings down.

After we returned home, there was more Liam time followed by dinner. Liam tried out his new bathtub on the kitchen floor. I put a little too much water in there and had lots of water to clean up off the floor afterwards. Liam hung out with Grandma while I put clean sheets on the bed then it was off to bed for us. Another full day for us!

Project 31: Day 21

Day 21. Write about your most vivid childhood memory. Post a picture of you taken over ten years ago.

Hmmm...My most vivid childhood memory.
Every Easter, my grandmother would buy me and my sister the biggest, poofiest dresses known to man. Of course, we would have to have a matching purse and hat as well. I remember that the stockings were always so itchy and I would always get in trouble for scratching under my dress.

I wish I could put up a picture my grandmother keeps in her Bible of us one Easter but, unfortunately, I don't have a copy. I actually don't have any copies of my childhood photos (I'm working on getting some together for Liam's sake) so the oldest picture I can post is only six years old.

Project 31: Day 20

Day 20. Write about your job and why you love it or hate it.

I am a (semi) SAHM since I am in the Air Guard. I don't consider my one weekend/month to be a "job" but it is something I am proud of so I don't want to disregard it either.

I've been in the Air Guard for almost eight years. I have a love/hate relationship with my job (which is a Fuel Systems Mechanic).
Love: The people I work with, The closeness of the people
Hate: Being a mechanic, Being an hour away from home (especially since we have Liam now and Will is deployed)

My other job is as a SAHM. Liam is almost six months old so I feel privileged to be able to stay home with him. Everyday is different and we just go with the flow.
Love: Liam, LIAM!!!
Hate: Absolutely nothing!

Project 31: Day 19

Day 19. Write about your significant other

Will is an amazing guy. He's sweet, generous, funny (or as I like to call him, silly) and seriously, has one of the biggest hearts of anyone I know. I think we were lucky to find each other and ever since the very first day, there has been an intense connection between us.
Will is, in a lot of ways, the opposite of me. There are times when I wish I could be more like him but I think we balance each other out. Although we fight and don't see eye to eye on a lot of things, Will has always accepted me for the woman I am (which isn't the easiest thing, I know). He's not only my husband, but he's also one of my best friends (I have to have other besties to talk to about him, haha) and I feel honored to share the rest of my life with him.
Love you William :)

1.) Tell the doctors that you do not know when your last menstrual cycle was. Trust me, it will save you a lot of trouble in the future.

Project 31: Day 17

Day 17. Write about 3 things that make you happy.

Will: He's an amazing guy and I feel lucky to have him in my life. We don't always see eye to eye (like any married couple) but we're in it for the long haul.
Liam: Just seeing his little face makes me smile. He's a blessing and I couldn't imagine my life without him (or Will).
Life: Being alive, healthy and stable makes me happy. I want to give Liam all the things I didn't have as a child and I know Will feels the same way. Neither of our parents are still together and our home lives weren't always stable so I'm happy to have the ability and desire to provide something different for Liam's life.

Project 31: Day 16

Day 16. How old was Liam when he started sleeping through the night and how did you do this?

Haha, sleeping through the night? What's that?
Liam definitely does not sleep through the night. Since he's only breastfed, I'm not surprised. He still co-sleeps so it makes it easier to nurse without him fully waking up. He has been sleeping for longer periods of time but that just depends.
So far the advice I've received (the cry it out method, giving him cereal or formula before bed, etc.) are things that I'm not interested in trying out. He'll only be a baby once so until I am truly sleep deprived, I'm okay with him wanting some Mommy/Liam time at night.

Project 31: Day 15

Day 15. What do you wish for?

Before having Liam, I wished for a lot of things, mostly material and trivial. Ever since I've become a wife and mother, my priorities have changed and I've learned to put others before myself.
My wish is for happiness for my family. I wish for a long and happy marriage for Will and I and of course, I wish for all the happiness in the world for Liam.
So, I guess I wish for happiness.

Okay, this may seem like a boring outfit picture but I ♥ this purple shirt sooo much. The color is absolutely gorgeous and I was surprised that I was able to wear it just one month after having Liam (considering that I wore it just a year earlier at my skinniest). I really liked how this outfit turned out especially with my two favorite accessories.

I think the expectations I have of being a woman wear me out. I feel like I should be a perfect mom and wife with the perfect house and perfect hair but I'm no superhero so it's hard to live up to those expectations.
I'm working on realizing that I can be an imperfect woman and still be an excellent mother and wife.

This is one of Will's favorite meals. I haven't made it in awhile so pictures will have to wait :(


Layered Chicken and Black Bean Enchilada Casserole

Ingredients

  • 2 cups shredded chicken breast
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 2 tablespoons cilantro
  • 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 (7 ounce) can diced green chile peppers, drained
  • 1 (10 ounce) can red enchilada sauce
  • 8 (6 inch) flour tortillas
  • 2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese
  • 1 (8 ounce) container sour cream

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium heat, and spray with vegetable cooking spray. Saute chicken with cumin and coriander until chicken is cooked through. Transfer to a medium bowl. Stir in the cilantro, black beans, and green chile peppers.
  3. Spread half of the enchilada sauce over the bottom of an 11x7 inch baking dish. Place 4 tortillas over the sauce, overlapping if necessary. Spoon half of the chicken mixture over the tortillas, and sprinkle with half of the cheese and half of the sour cream. Spoon the remaining enchilada sauce over the cheese, and make another layer of tortillas. Layer the remaining chicken mixture over the tortillas. Cover dish with a lid or aluminum foil.
  4. Bake for 30 minutes in the preheated oven. Remove the cover, and sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top and dot with sour cream. Continue cooking, uncovered, for an additional 5 to 10 minutes, or until cheese melts. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.
