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. :)

Comments (1)Lately I’ve been posting how I’m super busy with life. I’ve got my two children, a full time job, college, plus I’m planning a wedding… that gets kind of crazy, don’t you think? I agree. Well, read some updates!
Food Lion… That’s my job. It’s a love/hate relationship. This place takes up most of my time and money! I work there and shop there, so they get all the money they pay me BACK into their bank accounts and I might as well live in the store. 
Children… Lyra is a sick kid. Well, not really. But she gets sick wicked easily. She’s allergic to every kind of pollen and tree and chocolate and dairy! Poor child. Dalton isn’t that bad. Actually, I believe he’s only been sick twice and it was just little colds that weren’t nothing! They’re both something else. Dalton already likes to aggravate Lyra and he’s only 9-months! Too cute!
Wedding… Most of you know that my desired career is to be a wedding and event planner. I’m starting out planning my own wedding and also going to school for event planning. I’m not getting married until next May, but I’m the type that likes to get things done early. NO PROCRASTINATION! Sup? 
Hopefully I’ll post more little updates like this… you know, about family, work, and life in general. I don’t think I’m going to post the Food Lion sales ads anymore since I post the next week’s that isn’t out yet… that might be illegal! LOL.

“Harmony” by Susie Suh
Filed Under: Family, General, Life, Music, Videos Written by: Kerri on Wednesday, September 8th, 2010 | Comments (1)Recently my mother had to put our dog, Harmony, to sleep. She was going blind, she had diabetes and hip dysplasia. She was just so pitiful walking into things all the time. She was just very, very sick.
This song reminds me of her, not just because of the name, but the rhythm of the song. It kind of sounds sad. I cry every time I hear it, and I’m going to share the song with all of you.
Rest in Peace, Harmony. We love and miss you a lot.
Exhaustion!
I have been so exhausted since giving birth to my son, Dalton, on July 29th. He’s only 5-days old, so we haven’t gotten him on a schedule yet. It’s getting better though.
I had just realized that I haven’t updated much on The Queen Mom since his “birthday” so I figured I would write a little post to keep you all updated.
We’re fine. I’m healing pretty good this time around. My belly is wicked ugly! 
Dalton’s a perfect little baby. My doctor did his circumcision and that’s healing well. His umbilical cord is about to fall off already, but I think it’s because the hospital left the clamp on it after we were discharged.
There were 22 babies delivered the night Dalton was born! Speaking of… I’m probably going to write a post about the day of and after his birth. I did for Lyra’s birth, too, it’s just not posted here yet.
I’m trying to get as many posts as possible from the past 9-years of blogging on here. I doubt I can get very many.
Anyway! I’m off to feed my little one! Come back for that experience post and my list of loves/dislikes about pregnancy! 
The Day Before Another Big Change
I am experiencing a whirlwind of emotions right now.
Tomorrow my son will be born. We are going into labor and delivery at 12:00pm to register and prepare for the c-section. My doctor says he will be born around 2:30pm-3:00pm, but that’s if there are not any emergency c-sections popping up in the meantime.
I feel happy to finally have my baby in my arms and to not be pregnant anymore. I’m also nervous to meet him. I’m dreading the crying in the middle of the night. I don’t know what it’s going to be like to have two children.
What if I’m not going to be good enough?
I’m a worry-wart. I always have been and I always will be. I want to be the perfect mom, even though there is no such thing.
New Baby, College, Back to Work… Oh My!
Filed Under: College, Family, Life, Work Written by: Kerri on Tuesday, July 13th, 2010 | Comments (2)
As most of you don’t know, I am currently expecting a baby boy any day now. I already have a 3-year-old daughter, Lyra, and she’s a handful. I’m also on maternity leave from my job, Food Lion, and the next semester at the college begins on August 16th.
I am going to be overwhelmed for about half a year.
I expect it should be a little easy in the beginning because Lyra will be in preschool most of the day and since I’m used to being a mom, I’ll know how to multi-task with the new baby. I’m only taking three classes until October when I also go back to work. I think that my most overwhelming time will be October 3rd through December 18th because I’ll be doing everything during those months.
I’m just trying to get this all out so maybe I can breathe. Anyone have any tips on managing such a workload? Anyone else going through something similar to me?
Lord, I hope not!
