fun facts friday

April 19, 2013

1. Have you ever in your life heard of a rain day? Umm, neither had I… until yesterday. The entire town that I teach in is under water right now after the heavy rains we’ve had in the last 48 hours. Some families from my school actually had to be evacuated by boat! It kind of stinks because our field trip was supposed to be yesterday – time to reschedule!

2. I’m sure you’ve seen this by now, but if you haven’t – please please pleeeease go to Reasons My Son is Crying. It’s probably the best tumblr I’ve ever seen. It cracks me up. Apparently crying is just something toddlers do? Yeah, like Aubrey yesterday when I tried to fix her car seat straps so that she would be safe. I should have snapped a picture. You’re welcome for not letting you fall out of the seat, child.

3.  Y’all (who am I?), pregnancy brain is FOR REAL. I can’t remember to do ANYTHING anymore. All week long I have been trying to figure out why it was only the middle of the month and why I only had like $40 left of grocery money for the entire month. (Sidenote: I take cash at the beginning of the month so we can stay on a budget.) Suddenly on Wednesday afternoon I realized why – the Husband gave me $100 less and was going to give me more money later on. Duh. Yay for being able to eat!!!!

4. You know what? I am SO excited to see Katie tomorrow. We are going to Whole Foods and to go get frozen yogurt to catch up. We haven’t seen each other in MONTHS.

5. One of the best parts about pregnancy is that when you’re bloated, nobody knows it. Your stomach is huge anyway so it’s not like you look like you’re carrying a baby – you already are!

6. My mom got me hooked on this game Candy Crush. Seriously, I do not need to spend hours upon hours playing this game. And yes, I have already done so. My eyes are going crazy.

7. Aaaand that’s all I’ve got for you. Apparently I need to go to bed since I have school in the morning! Happy Friday!

Candy crush, ok my sister sent me a request to play, maybe I should?!

Pregnancy brain, oh yes! I have had it bad from time to time over here too, now once not pregnant I can’t blame pregnancy brain anymore, haha.

WIsh I was that Katie going to lunch and froyo with you! Have fun!

Lots of love to you and the twins! <3

The rain moved on here to Indiana, our roads by my home are flooded and the school district had a ‘flood/rain’ day too!

I woke up this morning to see delays and closings scrolling on the bottom of the screen, and I was so confused! It’s for the rain, though — there’s been a ton of flash flooding. The town that I live in has a delay, but the town that I work in does not. I better get ready for work!

a rain day?!?! ugh!! on our snow day we were supposed to go on our field trip too so that got cancelled. annoying to reschedule especially because we had to totally change it since where we were going wasn’t rescheduling. stay dry!!

Bummer about your field trip! Yay for being able to eat though :-)

I recently downloaded candy crush and I can’t stop playing it either!
So sorry about all the rain and your trip!

I can’t believe the flooding. Hope you’re staying safe!

You can have a food baby and no body needs no…definitely a plus of being pregnant! Happy Friday!

Um, is it weird that I kind of want to be pregnant now after that bloated comment? Lol. With my wonky stomach that reacts to basically all foods known to man (no joke) every other day for me is kind of painful and bloated. It would be so nice to not have anyone realize it. Haha. A little odd :)

I just looked up that game Candy Crush to see what you were talking about. Nope, not even going to download it because I know I’d get addicted. ha.

Sam @ Better With Sprinkles April 19, 2013 at 7:49 am

number 5. is hilarious! Something to look forward too when I get to that stage in life ;-)

Happy Friday!

Erin @ Axell's Kitchen April 19, 2013 at 7:54 am

Haha not being able to blame my stomach on being preggo is one of the things I miss most about being pregnant!

Kim @ Hungry Healthy Girl April 19, 2013 at 8:20 am

Hopefully things are drying up for you! Pregnancy brain is definitely a REAL thing….here’s to being able to eat!! Have a great weekend!

Becky April 19, 2013 at 8:33 am

My mom also got me hooked on candy crush. I can’t stop. I couldn’t sleep last night and was thinking about that stupid game. LOL

and totally agree…loved when I was pregnant and you couldn’t tell my belly was poochy from a big meal.

Katie @ Peace Love & Oats April 19, 2013 at 8:42 am

Candy Crush, is it on your phone? and YEAH for whole foods and froyo tomorrow!!!!!! I hope it’s not under water…

Amanda @ .running with spoons. April 19, 2013 at 8:58 am

Rain day?! No fair! We don’t even get snow days up here. Although, I think I’d prefer going to school/work than having to be evacuated by boat. Scary stuff.

Happy Friday, lady! Don’t forget that tomorrow is the weekend ;)

Fiona @ Get Fit Fiona April 19, 2013 at 9:01 am

Haha Candy Crush has taken over my friend’s family too. She let me try playing it for a few minutes, but I didn’t get the appeal.

Lauren April 19, 2013 at 9:14 am

Girl, I was so bummed we had to cancel our date yesterday but glad you had a good day off. Rain, now hail…this weather is nuts! Summer can not come soon enough! Have a good weekend and I will see you next weekend love!

Allison April 19, 2013 at 10:35 am

I keep trying to not get into candy crush, but I may need to cave!

Alyssa @ See This Girl Run April 19, 2013 at 10:38 am

Happy Friday! haha I loved your one about the pregnancy hiding bloating. I’m seriously always worried that people think I’m pregnant when I’m bloated, have a food baby or an intense bladder baby when I drink tons of water (aka every day of my life). Good times. Have a great weekend!

Reply

Lisa April 19, 2013 at 10:42 am

Oh goodness. A rain day! That’s pretty severe. I actually think they’re pretty common where I live, since it’s basically the city of rain. Kind of sucks, but oh well.
I often times think I have pregnancy brain even though I’m in no way pregnant;) I’ve found my wallet in the freezer, got in my car only to forget where I had planned to drive to, um yah, it’s bad.
Haha, and I adore number 5.
Happy Friday!

Hayley @ Running on Pumpkin April 19, 2013 at 10:55 am

Bahaha #5 cracked me up. I often say I have a food baby so I guess that’s a bonus of being pregnant is the real baby hides the food baby. Have a great weekend lady!

Brooke @ Running In Heels April 19, 2013 at 11:38 am

Rain days are a thing?! Crazy! Up here in Wisconsin we have cold days!

Ashlee@HisnHers April 19, 2013 at 11:57 am

haha I am SO looking forward to the pregnant-belly-hides-bloat thing ;-) That would be very helpful right now with summer coming up!

Annette@FitnessPerks April 19, 2013 at 3:16 pm

ooooooh pregnancy brain. It IS for reals. I keep forgetting my choreo that I know SO well -esp in Zumba. I just BLANK out. My peeps are like “uhhh what’s the next step??” HAHHA.

I WANT that belly! :) I’m hearing usually around 17 weeks if ‘you’re a late bloomer’ so hopefully in the next 2 we’ll see something POP.

xo p.s. can I come on that fro yo date too?!?

Michelle @ A Healthy Mrs April 19, 2013 at 3:31 pm

Happy Friday! I love Candy Crush!

Chelsea @ One Healthy Munchkin April 19, 2013 at 5:39 pm

That’s a bummer your field trip couldn’t happen yesterday! I’ve definitely never heard of a rain day before… although in high school we had a hurricane day, but it ended up being sunny all day haha.

Have a great weekend!

Amber K April 19, 2013 at 7:52 pm

Okay, I am totally jealous of #5. ;) Darn me and my intestinal issues. Bloating is a part of my daily life!

Becky April 19, 2013 at 8:24 pm

I just found your blog, and I love it! I just looked at a ton of your recipes, and I look forward to making a lot of them!

Candy Crush is ruining my life! Lol I am so addicted to that game…currently I’m stuck on level 110.

cleaneatingchelsey April 21, 2013 at 7:31 am

110?!?!?!??! I’m envious.

Ashli @ The Sweat Revolution April 19, 2013 at 8:53 pm

I guess I’m one of the few people that hadn’t heard of “Reasons my son is crying” yet, but as I write this, I’m wiping the tears off my cheeks - that is one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen! My tummy hurts!

Erica @ For the Sake of Cake April 20, 2013 at 7:05 am

Actually, last school year I had an early dismissal and a day off for rain/flooding! haha So weird when it’s not for snow!

Reply

Tara@PNWRunner April 21, 2013 at 6:42 pm

A rain day? I have never heard of this before and I live in Washington (where it supposedly never stops raining) ;) I am sorry to hear about the weather.
Someone told me about Candy Crush and how addicting it is. I’ve resisted from looking it up so far…we’ll see how long I can last.
