Hey, I'm Kerri and I am the webmistress of this blog! I am a young mother of two children and one on the way! I'm working towards becoming a wedding and event planner in the near future, but I also build a lot of websites for no reason and I like to drink coffee. :)

First Day of Classes!
Yesterday was the first day of the fall semester at my college. I decided last semester that it would be best if I took my classes online since I would have a preschooler, a newborn, and hopefully a full-time job.
Just to let everyone know… I’ve tried online classes 4-years ago and I get distracted way too easily by my website! 
So I log into Blackboard, which is like a virtual campus or something, and what do I do? I go right to Twitter and totally waste 30 minutes on there!
After forcing myself to log back into Blackboard, I chose to review the Intro to Web Design course first. I started reading the syllabus and every other course document at 8:30am and finally finished at 1:00pm! 
I mean, there was so much to read! During all that time, I did attempt to complete the first assignment, but his directions were very unclear. I thought I was the only student who thought this, but apparently a lot of other students did, too. We all got an e-mail this morning on how to submit the assignment. Now hopefully I can get that finished.
I ended up taking a mini-break after reviewing just that one class and started back up again with Web Technologies Program Orientation. I did not sign-up for that class at first, but the program head told me it was required if I wanted a degree. It’s supposed to “teach” me basic HTML and whatnot. 
I totally laughed at the guy, but had him sign me up anyway.
So from about 1:30pm until 6:00pm, I was reviewing just THAT class. I thought, “Are you freaking kidding me? It’s going to take 5-hours or more just to get through one class?”
Well, I have two more classes to look over. I figured I’d get them done today and then create a schedule for myself so I’m not doing classwork all day long. I need to make time for my family, friends, job, and website. This schedule should help me out… I hope.

11 Things I Dislike About Pregnancy
There are a lot of things that women really dislike about their pregnancies. Below is my list, but leave a comment with yours! 
- The frequent urination: I swear that I had to pee every 5-minutes for the entire pregnancy!
- Discomfort in the third trimester: Tossing and turning at night and barely sleeping because of it. I would lay on my left side and it would hurt my back. I would turn on my right side and my legs would go numb. Not fun!
- Prenatal appointments: Almost all of them were a waste of time. I went in and left about 15-minutes later.
- Internal exams at the prenatal appointments: Not only is it weird to have your doctor feeling inside of you, but sometimes it hurts.
- Worrying about the baby: I always worry. There’s no changing it.
- Contractions: I only felt one or two contractions with Lyra before I got the epidural, but those one or two contractions hurt like HELL.
- When everyone and their mother asks when the baby is due, what the gender is, “OMG, you haven’t had that baby yet?!” …obviously not!
- People’s snide remarks about how young you look to be having a baby, let alone already having a 3-year-old.
- Not being able to eat or drink certain foods: I really enjoy Dr. Pepper and deli sandwiches, but I had to limit my intake to almost NEVER for 9-months!
- Shortness of breath: I would just be standing there and lose my breath. Standing!
- Getting stretchmarks: I have them everywhere. Literally. And they won’t fade or go away.
What do/did you dislike about your pregnancy?
