I'm baaaack... and been up to so much that couldn't even begin to share or tell it all. Life is rolling, indeed with no way to stand it still.
I've been around. Gardening, getting tattooed (for the 3rd time), running, parenting, disciplining, traveling and alot more whatnot in between.
Right now I'm itchy. Seems as I'm having one of my terrible allergic reactions that send me into shock (literally) but this time I presented myself to Urgent Care within minutes of noticing my rash had turned to hives. See people, this is bad for me. The hives put me in the hospital, swell my throat, drop my blood pressure and oxygen saturation... it's bad stuff. This time I'm not playing around. A $25 visit to urgent care, and $80 later at the drug store I'm stocked up and will be pill popping for the next 15 days. Yay... okay, not really yay. I'm sure to be swollen and puffy after 15 days on steroids (good old dose pack) and gee, just in time for the wedding I was asking fashion advise for a while back.
Ashley.is.potty.trained. Yay for that... no doubt. She's done so well, and actually has been since about the time that I left you for my short stint away, 2 months ago!!! Geeforevertimeflies :)
It's hot and my flowers are blooming. We are seeing all sorts of critters that I could do without. You see, I'm from the mountains of VA and we don't have critters, bugs and snakes this big up there. I don't know what it is but one glimpse of a 2-3 inch flying roach will set you scared, well it will me anyways! I could do without the frogs, toads, lizards, snakes and big a*s bugs I see daily, however I don't mind the cute little bunny that hangs around my house from time to time.
I've starting running on the treadmill during lunch. I had previously been going to Curves and quit there and then started at the club I belong to now. Did I mention that the firm I work for now pays for our family gym membership? But at any rate, I had been doing and doing the elliptical and lifting a little big of weight and seeing no results. Over the past 3 weeks I have switched it up and now I spend my entire workout time on the treadmill. I've gotten to where I walk .5 miles, run 1, walk .5 and then run 1.5 (total 3.5 miles a day) damn do I feel good afterwards, despite the terrible sweat I break out into. Sometime I feel like I can't breathe, but it's getting better and truly, the feeling of accomplishment when I cross my finish line is all the encouragement I need! Talk about feeling good!
Also, I have put down the Dr. Pepper. I have figured out that I drank approximately 5 sodas a day on average. Regular sodas at that for a total of 750 calories and 200g sugar so what did I do but put it down. I'd never really thought about it but I was consuming probably about 1/2 of what should have been my daily calorie intake in freaking Dr. Pepper. Oh how I do love it and miss it so. I started out last Monday, drank 1 12 oz can this weekend and had 1 can this evening. Only 2 sodas in 10 days is crazy good for me and for that I'm also quite proud. Talk about DT's though coming off all that caffeine!
Okay, I'm tired, 15 days of benadryl is also bound to take a toll. I'm going to finish up so you think you can dance and then go to bed. Here's to showing up about 2 months late :)
P.S. yes, that's right, you read that I got my third tattoo. Yes I know it's big and if tats aren't your thing I'm really okay with that and really don't care, so just don't share.

I'm so glad you posted! Good for you for the dr. peppers and the running! I've been exercising again and it does feel good. That is awesome that Ashley is potty trained!!! It is a wonderful thing not to have to change diapers. Your new tattoo is beautiful! Do you have to cover it for work? I have found with a tattoo on each ankle and working for a school district that I'm not allowed to wear capri pants, which totally sucks. Hopefully they aren't as picky where you work!! On, and flying roaches scare the crap out of me!! I run and scream like a little girl if I see one...disgusting!!
I have to admit, the tattoo is way cool. I was kind of embarrassed seeing your naked feet and all. HA HA HA.
I'm jealous that you got your daughter potty-trained. We are SO close togetting our son potty trained but he regresses every couple of weeks...UGH!
On the health kick huh? well good for you. Keep me out of it. I am in perfect shape...I am round and I like it that way...HA HA HA
I didn't know you were a hillard! And you make fun of the way I talk somethings...you hillards have a language of your own too darlin!!!
Glad to see you back if only for one post. See you again in a few months...HA HA HA
