[Music]
so we are leaving the house we're gonna
go and get me a tea because I am wanting
a tea and I just took a dive on the
floor thanks to my daughter leaving her
baby doll out great times yeah I was
wonderful
felt amazing anyways we're gonna go to
Walmart I have a couple things that I
want to look at and then there's a few
things that I need to get from there I
know I want to get the kids as preschool
style okay get the kids as preschool
stuff and just get a few odds and ends
of things that I need to grab so anyways
I'll check in with you guys when we get
to the store and see if there's any
goodies for us okay guys so I'm not I'm
not showing my face right now because I
am actually not currently covered I just
walked through the door I did everything
and then was like oh my goodness I
completely forgot I was going to film
this but we just got back from Walmart
and I thought that I would show you guys
what I ended up picking up I got a
little bit of everything that I needed
so that ended up working out um so yeah
I will show you what my god so I went
ahead because I'm gonna be doing like I
was Toni guys the other day I am going
to start doing preschool with the babies
once school goes back into session so I
have thought wow probably now is like
the best time to go and get all the
school supplies wallets out and
everybody you know has it fully picked
over everything so I just got the basics
that I'll need to start for the the
preschool and then I mean I'll work
myself up to more as we need things but
I went ahead and I got the Jumbo ones
and the reason for that is because to me
I feel like when I've gotten the small
once before the kids just break them
they break in half and then it's just it
becomes an issue and so I thought well
I'll try these ones and see how well
these ones hold up so I picked up two
packs of those just so there was enough
for both of the kids and then I got two
of the Elmer's glue because I want to
start teaching them how to glue things
to put like a little bit of glue and oh
you know what they're different oh
that's nice they're both Elmer's but one
is washable no wearing school blue and
the other ones extra strong formula what
do you know
all right I'm glad that I read that
anyways oh well there's oops as I put my
fingers in there oh okay
I don't have you guys on my tripod as I
usually do um they're gonna work the
same there's nothing I mean I don't
really think there's much difference so
I went ahead and picked up two of those
so that way then I can start teaching
them how to put glue on their items to
glue things I picked up just one pack of
regular 20 pencils I need to get a
pencil sharpener I did not I could not
find one at Walmart so I need to still
find one of those I was gonna get
mechanical pencils and then I thought
you know why am I gonna turn around and
do that when for one the kids are not
they don't know how to not push hard and
break the pencil lead and stuff so I was
like you know what no forget it I'm just
gonna go ahead and do regular pencils
and that way that just keeps it simple
and then I got excuse my kids they're
fighting over Legos uh-huh I got two
pairs one for each of them these are the
fist gears this fists cars blunt tip
four plus eight
I know SR is a little bit younger than
that but I think that they'll be fine
but I want to start being able to teach
them how our house an eraser - oh okay I
don't know what that's about
anyways um I want to start teaching them
how to like cut things out and be able
to be a little bit more independent
when we're doing the the oh my gosh look
at this - I didn't even notice that I
got pointed tip for Ezra blunt tip for
Omar oh well I seen this and I was like
all do the same ones mmm these ones come
with stickers these ones don't great way
to fight anyways oh uh but I want to go
ahead and be able to start making them
be a little bit more independent when it
comes to like cutting things and gluing
things I think you know that's part of
kids enjoyment so I think that they will
enjoy that and then I also picked up two
of these they were just the I got a blue
one and a red one just the dry erase
boards I won't use the magnetics with
them but I think that this is a good
thing for them to have to practice like
their letters and stuff when we start
they'll be able to write like their a
and B and C and all of those on here and
be able just to erase it oh I think it
will make it fun or for them and then I
also picked up a nice pack of colorful
markers that they can also use which
will make it really nice so I think that
this is something that they'll look
forward to because it's something new
that they clearly have never had before
oh my god I'm keeping in the theme first
of the school stuff I got two packs of
the heavy weight construction paper for
also again when we're doing arts and
crafts and things like that I want to
have went ahead and bought those now
when I do like their color sheets I'm
just gonna put those off from the
internet I look for a preschool book but
they didn't have any and I don't know if
it's just because again everything is
getting picked over so I'm pretty sure
that's probably what the issue is but I
went ahead and I just picked this one up
or two of these and this will last us
for quite a while so I'm not really too
worried about that
then I got
slippers for the babies so I went ahead
and picked those up because right now
they have sandals but we're gonna be
moving into cooler weather here soon
which will make it very nice to have
slippers and not just that it will be
easy for them to just put them on and
run to the car when you know we need to
go and pick up and Jeremiah from school
or whatever these have good bottoms to
them so they can actually walk out in
the rain in them and that's not gonna
you know it's not gonna ruin them if
they have these so I went ahead and
picked those up they had Mickey and
Minnie and I was gonna pick him up and
then these ones ended up being 488 they
were on a rack that said set was 688 I
think so I thought they were gonna be 7
or almost 7 and then Mickey and Minnie
were gonna be 10 dollars and I was like
no I'm not gonna spend 10 bucks on
slippers and then when I got to the
checkout and I was checking out they
ended up only being well let me check
his I know hers are well his are 697 but
hers were 498 I think is what they said
or 488 but that's not bad and I mean she
loved him there kiddies and she loves
kitties so that works out and then I got
this is what the kids are fighting over
currently right now I technically
literally only have the case because
Omar decided in the store he was going
to turn the package cuz he wanted to
open it right then and there but all of
a sudden my kids have been sorry trying
to figure this out okay I guess the best
way would be like this
my kids have been obsessed with Legos
and you know I never thought that Legos
would be safe for their age and I've
always just like kept away from it
because all I could think of is just
choking hazards and things like that but
Jeremiah got a pack of Legos for our
celebration and literally yesterday Omar
played with the Legos for multiple hours
and then today he woke up and he again
went right back at it for multiple hours
so I
just was like you know why there's only
a very little amount that Jeremiah has
because his cam was only 200
so I told Holly that I wanted to go and
get something for the babies that way
they can have some blocks because of
course Jeremih didn't really want to
share his cuz he didn't want their his
being you know lost and stuff and I get
it so this one came with of course my
son ripped the piece okay well this
wasn't gonna tell me much of course and
you really did rip it um so it doesn't
give me it did give me the numbers but
yeah that part is uh long gone but I
want to say this was like a 480 piece
Lego set so this will definitely give
them plenty of hours of plane I was very
excited that I found that and then I got
oh I got me a pair of slippers because
once we start moving into the cold
weather I have to have something warm
for my feet because if not it um ho-ho
my feet are miserable so I went ahead
and I have eggs and I also have bear
claw slip-on slippers on both of them
but I try not to wear those until it's
actually like really cold because my
feet tend to sweat and I don't want my
slippers becoming very stinky haha TMI
and because you really can't wash them
there's not much of an easy way so with
these ones I mean these ones were 598 so
I mean technically if they got to the
point where I was just like okay I can't
deal with it my feet of you know they're
not smelling very good or whatever I can
just technically throw these away for
five bucks and get a new pair of an EP
but I don't think I'll have that issue
and
my god everything's falling on me great
let's see okay I got these these are
leggings they are a 3x hoping that
they're gonna fit
they were 798 there that tiara and sky
they are super duper duper soft I'm
hoping that they fit really good and I
got it took like a little tie up there
it's really long so I'm hoping it will
be a nice thing and I could put a
cardigan over it I think that would
actually be really cute and that is just
a really cute fall outfit so I picked
that up that's for my birthday and then
my best friend
aka my sister Hana
but anyways she bought me this for my
birthday and it was like the one thing
that I wanted so so bad I have been
wanting one of these for months and she
bought it for me last night and I was
able to go and get it to date and then I
got with it the mint I picked that up
the other day so I'm really excited to
try that together and I am just I'm so
excited and I don't know if it's those
are the colors it lights up to or what
but yes my my sister from another mister
bought me this and I could not be more
grateful because she knew how bad I
wanted this thing like I am just so
excited I can't wait to turn it on try
it on turn it on and then last but not
least I got these also from her and I
love love love these well there's two
different ones oh look at that again see
I grabbed two different ones and I
thought they were both to say one huh
shows how much I show that that I
actually look at things so this one's
apple pie one a papaya and this one's
pumpkin spice but I got these to go in
here because I just I love my rooms that
I'm in just smell good
other than not you guys that was my
shopping haul for Walmart so I hope you
guys enjoyed as much as I did getting
this stuff and I will check in with you
guys in a little bit
good evening and I hope you all are
having a wonderful Friday night today I
had a fantastic day I really did have a
really good day
um as y'all seen I filmed I went to
Walmart earlier and kind of went on a
little bit of a shopping spree if you
should say but it was mainly for my
birthday which was really nice I really
you know I I don't do anything for my
birthday it's you know I'm 37 this year
so it's like that that day of the year
is just so I don't really think we're
gonna do anything this year really for
my birthday especially because I'm
really avoiding the eating out concept
and so I think all he is just gonna make
me a really nice steak dinner here at
the house because we can measure
everything and you'll be able to get
everything on the right like
measurements because you know like steak
I can only have like 4 ounces and you
know that type of thing and it will just
keep me you know continuing to go um
tomorrow is weigh-in day and I really
have no idea what to expect I really
don't I don't know if it's gonna be a
standstill I don't know if it's gonna be
a game you know I did a lot of activity
this week due to like walking in the
stores and things like that because I
mean I haven't done that but
I feel very bloated in fact I had to put
my other ring on back on my ring is
fitting my my wedding ring is fitting
but I noticed and I don't know if it's
normal for you to swell at nighttime but
I noticed that my ring gets a little bit
tighter at night and it kind of like
Divis in and could like just it has like
um oh where the diamonds can breathe
I've heard that saying I didn't know a
diamonds how to breathe but anyways
where diamonds can breathe that has the
little holes well in that it my skin
when I'm swelling up kind of pokes
through those and it actually makes like
little sores on my finger and it hurts
so I took it off yeah I took it off
yesterday in the mix of everything I was
doing and I put it down somewhere and I
couldn't think before I put it out and I
didn't want to say anything to always
like I avoided the conversation for as
long as long as I could about honey have
you seen my wedding ring yet the worst
words you thinking the worst words you
could say and I but I finally I had to
because I I had looked in here
everywhere I couldn't find it I looked
in the kitchen where would have been the
other place I would have took it off I
thought because of doing dishes and
stuff it wasn't there and I'm thinking
oh my gosh like really what did I do
with it like have I been that tired that
I actually took my wedding ring off and
cannot think of where I put it
which I have that bad tendency sometimes
I really do so I finally was like babe I
gotta remember where I took my ring off
he looked at me like double stopped and
looked at me he's like why I'm like yeah
kind of took it off cuz it was kind of
getting a little tight and I can't find
it now
he's like NEP he yeah best get up and go
up for your wedding ring I was like I
will I will I will while I was feeding
nest for us so that was my excuse for
the moment not to give up and so then
half an hour later I was like just
jotting down everything I could think of
where I have been what I did yesterday
which most the day I have technically
been in here so it was really weird I
just could not think of where I put it
and um so anyways I just kept thinking
and thinking and thinking and then
finally it dawned on me I think I took
it off in here
and I think I put it in one of my ring
holders so I came in here and I looked
through this whole thing
it was nowhere to be found so that I'm
like oh great that's where I thought it
was no it wasn't it happened to be in my
drawer my undie drawer of whole places
in another ring I looked and I was like
oh there's the ring so I took it off and
I gave it back to Ollie to put back in
the safe until it's to the point where I
can wear it and not have to take it off
cuz that is I mean I would really hate
to lose that ring so yeah let's just say
my wedding band went back on and then
just the the fake ring the fake ring the
fake ring wimp ik went back on just for
now just until I can get my ring to
actually like fit and not take off and
then I'll be fine
but that was um let's just say a hair on
the scary side when I didn't think I
could find it because I just all I could
think of was did Maya accidently vacuum
it up did one of the kids get ahold of
it and um they don't go in the bathroom
so I really didn't think that it would
be any chances that it could have gone
down like the toilet but I mean how was
Amy's luck anything can happen so yeah
we did find the wedding ring so anyway
so then we went to Walmart I did my
birthday shopping which was really fun I
really had a good
time I just took Maya and Omar Esther
was asleep in the car and all he's like
you know just let her take her nap you
take the boys and just go into your
shopping don't you're not on time on it
just go do it too when I'm like oh no
time like cool so I went in there and I
was in there for quite a while just
looking around just things like I
haven't been able to to really just do
you know because usually we all are in
Walmart and for some reason when Ali's
in stores he gets really like oh and the
kids are acting up and so then it just
makes for not the best experience for me
and him so I think it was better for him
he enjoyed staying in the car and just
you know playing on his phone and
relaxing while Esther was sleeping and
then I just hurdled the boys with me and
it was all good good time for all of us
and then tonight for dinner we just had
what we had last night which was well he
had something different but his is white
maxed out carbs and a whole bunch of
stuff and I just you can't really you
can't justify the the mill a hundred
percent and I just was like mmm I don't
feel like this is a safe zone for me so
I went ahead and went with baked baked
vegetables and peace meets a-- meets a--
pieces of steak pieces and so delicious
it almost to me reminds me of like a
stew that's kind of what it reminds me
of but it has like zucchini and carrots
a potato and tomato and what else onion
and beef broth and okay so that's what i
had and other than that that was really
it we just I mean we had a really good
day though I mean we really really did
and I'd uh I did not go on my bike today
because I was planning to come home from
Walmart and go on my bike well just as
we were getting ready to walk out the
door today I was in here and I was doing
something I don't even know what I was
doing I was doing something so my back
was turned from the door
Esper had happened to lay her baby down
baby doll
I don't think it's in here now her baby
doll down and I didn't see it well it's
a Cabbage Patch but it's one of those
interactive cabbage patches and so the
head is like a rubber and I stepped down
but because it's a rubber it's stuck to
the carpet in a way and so it didn't
like move when I when I moved and let's
just say Houdini went and hit the the
carpet hard oh yeah that was a show my
whole family is in the car had no clue
what was going on inside the house so I
come waddling out of the house because
my door it's so bad I'd like bump my toe
but twist it at the same time when I
went down to the floor so all he's like
oh my god are you okay I'm like yeah I
just kissed the carpet because of
Esther's toy am i right
but yeah I'm doing great so I ended up
coming home and I just I wasn't filling
it to do that I took some ibuprofen
because it was hurting me
it's not bruised or anything so I don't
think I broke it but let's just say big
bodies and carpet don't mix at all so
yeah I didn't know I end up doing the
bike but I am gonna start doing the bike
tomorrow I think that it will be a good
time to start I don't think we have
anything planned tomorrow to go anywhere
so I can really kick start doing my
exercising and stuff and I'm really
excited about that but other than that I
am just I'm feeling so good like I'm in
a really good place emotionally and that
is it a really good feeling and um you
know I talked to Holly today and I just
told him I said you know I said I think
that me and you because we you know what
as adults
things change so much in our minds in
our brains and you know you go from
being a child and being a teenager that
your only worries are you know the next
party you're gonna go to or you know the
next lipgloss you're gonna buy but you
don't think of the mean you really don't
have to worry about you know finances
and bills in the future and raising kids
and you know where the world's at and
stuff like that like that those are just
things you just don't think about
and I think that a lot of people married
couples and especially or you know
people with partners I think that
sometimes you we get so tied up in to
life in itself that we forget about each
other sometimes and we forget about
having fun and in igniting that that
love and that acknowledgement of each
other and our feelings and you know and
so I sat down with Holly today and I was
like honey you know I said I really am
struggling with the fact that I think
that we are focused so much on so many
big things and so many big projects that
I think that we are forgetting about
ourselves and he looked I mean he's like
well what do you know like where is that
coming from and I said I just feel like
you know when we very first got married
it was so different in a way that you
know life just you know life was hard at
times yes I mean it was it was a
struggle but we always found the joy and
we always found the love and the
compassion you know and and just fix the
just the revolving I mean I don't know I
don't know how to describe it but it
just it was a different level and you
know when things have changed so
drastically with us since you know we've
been married obviously you know that I
just think that sometimes we forget that
we need to still remind ourselves that
we are married to each other and we
deserve to laugh too and we deserve to
enjoy life too and just because if we
are laughing or you know we're playing
around with each other that that doesn't
mean that we're still not being serious
but it just you know it gives that
energizing of the marriage you know
because sometimes marriage and
relationships can dry up so fast
if you don't nourish it and I feel like
sometimes you know especially because
like for me and Holly we don't have
anybody to you know watch the kids
and take care of them so that we can go
on dates or you know have time for
ourselves we just don't and and that's
totally okay you know I mean we signed
up to be parents and when we signed up
for it we know that we wanted to be the
parents we didn't want to you know we
don't want somebody else to be the
parent if we didn't have to you know and
so with that it's so even more crucial
that we take time also for ourselves at
some point every day to just show each
other that affection that we need and so
I just told him today I said you know I
really think that you know it's very
important for both of us to be able to
still experience that and continue every
day to fall in love with each other more
you know and not drowned ourselves into
all the future planning and feeling like
we're not allowed to enjoy life you know
cuz I told him I said sometimes it's
hard to know if I'm on a priority in the
higher parts of your life or is it the
future is what's more of the priority
and he looked at me and he just like I
mean literally his mouth was wide open
he's like Amy he's like why would you
feel that way and I said because you
know I said we never just laugh and
enjoy life sometimes like I feel like
it's just it's all nothing but work and
stress and work and stress and you know
planning and you know what I said and
that's all good but you don't we have to
enjoy life too and he's like oh my God
he's like Amy I love you so much and I'm
like I don't question you if you love me
that that's not the question it's where
is the priority of me like am I one of
the top priorities or am I you know one
of the priorities that come after you
know stressing about the future and
stressing about you know where we're
gonna go next or what's our next plan
and you know nice that they understand
you know especially for you you carry a
lot of responsibility being the mayor
needing to make sure that the family is
taken care of and I said I understand
all that but sometimes you know we have
to take a step back and breathe the air
and really like really sink in the the
reality of where we're at in life too
and realized that we have to take time
for ourselves and for each other because
you know we do get time for ourselves
but we don't ever get that time to
connect one to one as a married couple
like we should you know we don't get to
just talk very often about our days or
about you know concerns or not even just
that but just things you know funny
things are enjoyable things are you know
we don't get to do that because we've
got the kids running around or you know
once the kids go to bed we've got SR
laying right next to the couch and so we
have to whisper and so it's almost
impossible to have a conversation
because we've got kids somewhere around
us 24/7 and so I think me bringing that
up really just kind of like opened up
the door to you know realizing wow you
know you're right it really is really
important and it is important to you so
we need to do that more often and make
that time because we don't have somebody
to give us that time so we have to
figure out how to utilize our time so
that we get that time because it's
important to continuously constantly
100% always water our relationship
because our flowers are gonna dry up
quick and I don't want to be that you
know I don't want to get to the point
when were you know in our 60s and look
at each other and be like we're totally
two different people you know than what
we thought and why were we married well
we were married because of the kids but
you know now we're at a point in our
lives where the kids are out of the home
and so you know it what our purpose
isn't staying married and you know I
don't want to be that because he's my
best friend and he's my lover and I
absolutely just am in love with him but
I know that we have to always
continuously remember that our marriage
has to come first you know and along
with my health and everything else that
comes with that because again if we're
not taking care of our marriage it's not
gonna be available when we're 60 years
old and I we have our grandkids you know
and that's the same with my health we
have to take care of my health because
you know 20 years from now I may not be
here to be unable to and even enjoy my
husband with our grandchildren because I
did not take care of myself and so it
really was just on me today about
talking to him about that and I'm really
glad that I did because it really I
think opened both of our eyes about that
personally and I think both of us agreed
that it's true and it's something we do
need to to really take more time on so
anyways I know that that was just a big
a big amount of rambling look at my
nails not to change the subject but look
at my nose they have grown so much I
just sat here and took all the gel off
probably gonna leave them just like this
for tonight because it's already getting
late and I need to get my chickens to
bed it's been a long day Omar has
actually been up since 6 o'clock this
morning and let me tell you he has let
everybody know that he has been up since
6:00 because this house has been nothing
but a crying fest all day I was gonna
show you guys really quick something
else I got
it's so cute I was just like I fell in
such in love with it when I seen it I
was like oh my gosh it's this my white
shirt how it works but it's doubled and
it's like a turtle and it's got starfish
all around it is so it's so so so cute
and it's got it's like a double change
one I don't know if it was like meant to
be like an inkless it's not stretchy at
all so I'm assuming that it's supposed
to be a bracelet I'm hoping because
that's what I'm gonna wear for and then
I got this as well I am so in love with
this too so
cute so cute it's a necklace and then it
has if I can get the charms to spread
out it's got a like a crown a keychain
and then like a little bead so like a
little diamond oops a flip around oh I
just I'm in love with those things but I
got him today in the mill so I was like
that was exciting um in the nether than
I showed you guys everything else I got
from Walmart lovely my kids drink all my
water um but I'm probably just gonna
close it here anyways so I can go get my
kids to bed but I really hope you guys
had a wonderful Friday and a great start
