YC and SK got married! I thought that all the bridesmaids looked beautiful and the bride... OMG... She was so gorgeous. Her makeup was perfect... her dress was perfect... I thought the ceremony went smoothly. I thought we had some good planning and we had very competent people helping out with the wedding.
There was one mishap and unfortunately it was by me. I have never gotten so upset ever in my life. I think, I scared a few people. I am already an emotional person and on top of that I'm pregnant so I have a tendency to over react and act irrational. What could have been so bad?
Well, I tried really hard to make the bride's wedding planning not stressful and I asked her that I'd take care of the music. I talked with the DJ a week before the event and he said that he didn't have the three songs the bride requested. The bridal introductory song, YC & SK's wedding song, and the father and daughter dance. I had them and said that I'd burn them and bring them to him right before the ceremony.
The day of the wedding before our salon appointment, I kept thinking the things we needed and what needed to be done. Everything went so smoothly and I arrived at the reception for the cocktail hour. I was eating and I went to our designated emcee friend and asked him to go to the DJ and talk through the schedule. 10 minutes later he comes to me and says that the DJ is asking for the CD. I almost fainted. I forgot to pack the disc. I am freaking out and I start bawling... bawling... with noise. The friend had a look of horror on his face and was like what is wrong. I'm screaming "where's my husband!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" I'm running around like a mad woman searching for my husband. I find him and I tell him we have to go back home. I realized we only had less than 30 minutes. It was not enough time to go home and come back. I was freaking out. Hubs is says we'll go to tower records down the street.
So I'm running in my 3 inch heels down broad in center city running through red lights, crying. Hubs is yelling at me to calm down. We get there and I couldn't find any employees. I'm running all over the store with my shoes in my hands screaming "where's the inspirational section!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" I'm looking in the gospel section and they don't have any of the songs. I'm freaking out .... FREAKING OUT!! I worked so hard not to stress out the bride and I'm anticipating the crest fallen look of the bride who trusted me. I retreat with only one song ... the wedding song but not by the bride's chosen artist.
I see the DJ and I'm so upset.. he's reassuring my that everything will be okay. But all I can think is that he's the DJ. he should have just burn the songs himself... UGH! Then he says that he has the wedding song by the right artist. The introductory song I just rechose... it was a classical piece so I picked quickly another one. The father and daughter dance ... The emcee friend comes in my friend BP comes in and said that YC is okay with the song the DJ recommended. They are comforting me telling me that it's alright. All I can say is thank goodness for waterproof makeup.
I see YC and she's so awesome. She tells me that she just picked the father daughter song last minute and it held no particular sentimental value. She even forgot what song she picked. I should have just gone to the DJ right away but me, overly dramatic and emotional person that I am, had to do everything the hard way.
It was a beautiful song. I do feel a bit sad that she couldn't dance to it but she didn't think anything of it. Thank goodness.
Other than that it was such a wonderful day. It was fun and it was so great to help YC with her big day. At times, I wished that I wasn't pregnant but it really didn't hold me back. Actually, it was a good thing that I was... I couldn't drink but if I had, I may had a confrontation with someone who was saying some mean things and that would not have been good. God is always faithful.

I'm really going to try and not let myself go this pregnancy. So far it hasn't been too hard because of my morning sickness but I know once it's gone, I'll be eating a lot. I must discipline myself and I am going to work out. Let you know how that goes.
Congrats to JK and WK. Their baby boy arrived Sunday morning and he's adorable!! The mommy looks great too.

Sorry for the lack of updates. I've been feeling really sick.
I thought I was okay but then the last 2 days happened and I've been attached to the toilet bowl... Now, I hate throwing up in it so I manage to run to the kitchen sink which has a garbage disposal.
Ugh!!!!!!!!! I don't know how much more I can take.
Please pray for me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I saw this movie and I really liked it. It's based on a true story of this mother of 12 who managed to financially keep their family a float by winning various contests. Her "knack for words" got her to win numerous prizes and even win big bucks that paid for a down payment on a home. The spirit of this woman was inspiring. No matter how hard life was she always manages to keep her spirits up and she's seemed to live her life without mourning what could have been. There is so much I could learn from this woman...

I had a dream a couple weeks ago. I was back to work at the North Philadelphia CVS/Pharmacy. For those who don't know where that is, North Philly is not a very nice area. I worked there when i was fresh out of school. I never really feared for my life even though I've grown up in the suburbs all my life. I only worked there for a year and half and I demanded to work out in the suburb stores. Well, back to my dream.
So I'm working as a pharmacist and catching up with the techs. I remember thinking that they really renovated the pharamacy and it was all hi-tech. The pharmacy was this L shape. the long portion of the L was the counter and the bays of drugs were perpendicular to it. I know, it's hard to picture. The short portion of the L was where the registers were and the counter was lower.
So I was at the top of the L when I see the head of a masked man running by with a gun towards the register area. I cower down and I hear him yell "Open the safe." In the pharmacy, we keep Narcotics in safes and the pharmacist is the only one with the key to open it. So, then in my dream I see the guy pointing the gun to a the tech and I look to my other side and there's a door to safety out of the pharmacy. I can come out to the gunman and tell him I have the key and his gun will be on me or I could run out of the pharmacy into safety and hope that he won't hurt anyone.
I awake with a shudder and I am literally shaking like I just experienced this robbery first hand. I then think of the dream. What would I have done? How could I even think to have escape? That was so selfish of me. What does that mean about my character? Really, I would be the only one to open the safe...
I pray that this experience will never come to pass but Hubs who is the pharmacist scheduler for a retailer pharmacy had to go into pharmacies that were robbed at gunpoint and the pharmacist are too shaken up to continue working. I tell him to send other pharmacist but he feels bad to ask them to go in without telling them why. When he does tell them and they all say, "hell no!". Its even happening in nice suburban areas. No where is safe. It's even more scary because it's usually junkies that come and junkies and a gun means trouble. Thank goodness, no one has gotten hurt yet.
Now everytime my hubs goes in to work, I pray that nothing will happen. I asked him what he would have done if it was him in my dream? He tells me that he'd run to safety. Then I say "really and leave the cashiers to tell the gunman that they can't open the safe?" He then said he'd throw the key and book. I know he's just saying that but I think he'd come out and open the safe. But you'd never know. I hope that I'd have the courage not to be selfish. I wouldn't want anyone to be hurt if there was something I could have done to stop it even if it means looking down the barrel of a loaded gun.

Sorry I have not been updating as much as I would like to. I am suffering from ....... morning sickness.
yes about a month ago, i found out I was pregnant for the 3rd time. This time, it was such a surprise. I know that it is God's will and I know what he wants but it is so hard to submit.
I can't say that I am unhappy about it but that I am just shocked and I feel so unprepared. I planned my first two and Hubs and I even agreed that we were done at two.
Now as I throw up in my kitchen sick, bowls that I lay around, and toilet bowls, I just can't believe that I have morning sickness again. What about those stories I heard from other women that they only had morning sickness with their first. How can I have it with my third and still feel horrible? The last time I talked to my mother I was telling her that I feel so sick and she tells me it's all in my head and to keep myself busy. I felt like hanging up on her. She only had it once and that was over 30 years ago. How can she possibly remember? It's been over 2 years since I last felt morning sickness and I couldn't remember how horrible it was until now that I'm living it, again.
UGH! I wish I could be that pregnant woman that felt great and didn't feel any different. But there most be a reason...
The phrase I keep telling myself is that "it's a blessing" I know it is but I just feel so ... unprepared. It's getting better that I'm getting over the shock. Poor Hubs was so shocked. We both hung around the house like someone died and my brother, the doc, yelled at us in frustration, " IT'S A BLESSING GUYS, THERE ARE PEOPLE OUT THERE WHO CAN'T EVEN GET PREGNANT! IF YOU REALLY DIDN'T WANT TO GET PREGNANT YOU GUYS WOULD HAVE DONE MORE NOT TO GET PREGNANT!!" True True but for us who got pregnant when we wanted to , we felt a bit out of sorts.
It is a lot better and I am excited to have another baby. I just can't believe I'll be a mother of three. I feel like I barely get by being a mother of two but I know that God will provide and he'd never let this happen if he didn't think we could handle it. That is comforting.
