Pre-Pregnancy Bucket List

Happy late Mother's Day! Hope you all had a fantastic weekend. I had to work ( Mother's Day/weekend is the busiest time for servers...) all weekend and am not very happy about yesterday. Aside from that it was a pretty good day. We had a late lunch at Steak and Shake, where I was only mildly glutened. We then went to the movie "station" and saw The Croods. I didn't think I would like it based off of the trailer, but I bawled like a baby. I recommend it.

The worst part of Mother's day was being slapped in the face with all of the happy families with their new babies and huge pregnant bellies. There was one lady who looked so much like me, and what I imagined I would have looked like pregnant this time around, that I almost started hysterically crying while making drinks. She had the cutest belly, the perfect top knot, and the exact same dress and shoes I already own. It was instantly heartbreaking. But all of that aside, I took a page from Katie Bower's book and decided to suck it up. Being pregnant is great and all, but I'm going to spend the summer doing other fun things. Hence the Pre-pregnancy Bucket List.

 

First up is a trip to King's Island. Jordan and I went to Universal Studio's for our honeymoon and it was the best trip ever. We have been dying to go back ever since. We both used to go to King's Island a lot when we were younger. You know, school trips and such. We bought season passes! Story is only tall enough to get on most of the kid rides. Hopefully we can take her sometime this summer. 

King's Island is about a month away. So, I'm going to be eating a lot of sushi before, and after that. I would eat sushi everyday. I want to eat sushi everyday :) 

We really want to be more settled in our lives before we have another baby. Right now we both want to be promoted, possibly transfer, move into a house and buy a car. Yep, that's a lot.

Disney World. Yes, yes, yes, yes!!!!!!! This is the time to take her! We are really, really, really, hoping to take her next year. As you all know, it's like the biggest deal ever to plan a trip to Disney. And yes, we are starting to save up now (hurry up promotions!)

The rest are pretty self explanatory. I hope to accomplish them all by the end of the summer. Hopefully in time for our anniversary in September.

All you moms-to-be struggling with infertility, what's your pre-pregnancy bucket lists? What would you like to do before getting pregnant? Link up your bucket lists in the comments or just write it out :)

Day Eleven

I'm So Embarrassed

Time for day ten of blog every day in May. It's time to talk about true mortification, gut wrenching embarrassment. Get ready for it...

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Okay, for those of you that don't know, I work in an Italian restaurant. It's not a super fancy one or anything, but it's decent. Anyway, it's the kind of restaurant where the servers have to use tray, both big and small. I remember when I first started I was so nervous to use the super big trays and then carry the legs to set them on. It took me a while to get the hang of it. So, here I am, confident in my tray handling, both big and small. Then one day we get these small new tray. They are made of a different material and have a hard time gripping wet glasses. It's a bust night, not sure what day of the week. Anyway, I have a full section and I'm running some drinks out. I take drinks to a couple of tables and then stop at my last one. It's a cute little family of four. They have a smaller child that's in a high chair, that's sitting out of a booth kind of in the way of the aisle. No big deal. So I'm passing out drinks and I only have one left. I'm holding the tray out behind me, reaching over the booth when another table, behind me gets up. They sort of bump the tray and the last glass of water falls. Onto the high chairs, spilling all over this poor kid. ( it was like 18 months old, and was not hurt at all) There is a moment, that seemed like it lasted forever, where you can see him winding up to belt out the loudest scream you can imagine. And then he does. And it lasts forever. And the parents are staring at me. And I'm trying so hard not to start crying, to do something other than stand there as this baby screams. I finally snap out of it and start cleaning up as best I can. Another server saw what happened and came over with a rag. We finally get everything cleaned up and I leave these poor people alone. I walk over to my manager and he says, "How much did you spill on the kid?" I say, unable to meet his eyes, "All of it." He stares at me, and then bursts out laughing. "Well, we'll buy their whole meal."
