Today is or those days that you wish you played golf, tennis, ran, had a dog to walk, something! I think I can wish all these things on this warmish day because in fact I can't do any of them right now. But it is in fact a beautiful day. A little wet but a promising play day outdoors, little people don't mind a little wet.

Yesterday was a rainy cloudy cold day. So we went to the mall and shopped with Mia and Mom. Tyler and Mia are total pals and make perfect little shoppers when together. Downside, they don't nap when entertaining each other so when separated become total wild things. Mia was a reported walking disaster last night, while Tyler survived the rest of his day today was a different story. We had to resort to a morning nap so that we could reset and start again. No problem in fact we probably should try that more often. So now that everyone has recovered from yesterday we will probably eat and venture out to play. And of course laundry must find some time in there or else Tyler might be wearing a bath towel tomorrow!

And yesterday we did shop.(Mom size 8 from the gap is too big, you keep sending size eight, size six is better unless it is a skinny something.) All the little things you can find for a girl is much greater than anything you can find on sale for a boy, it's kinda crazy. So I bought stuff for Tyler, I exchanged some things for me, and I made googly eyes at all the cute girl stuff walking out with a few cute things for our baby yet to come.

And now it is lunch time. Bye!

Look what the wind blew in.

Calmer Tuesdays...uh yeah right!

Yesterday I really deserved a break. But instead was greeted by a fresh poopy butt off the toilet running from something in the bathroom halfway through the day. Why me? "Tyler do not get off the pot until Mom wipes your bottom," means nothing around here!

And basically gym class happened to us, Dad has started to come, which is great for Mom. He kinda hangs around the edges and makes sure I survive. THANKS Dad, you're great! Then we were off to get lunch and then went home to nap. I didn't get to nap, I got to phone the cable guy, who is more of a dunce than I am when it comes to cable. Thomas also called and had way more luck than I did. So honey you can add them to the list of people you call, right underneath army doctor's offices. Thomas got free movie channels for a month, I got a service man with a plumbers crack!

New invention: they need to add baby monitor capabilities to i-pods. I am convinced that if I could wear headphones during Tyler's naps I could get a lot more accomplished. I need head phones to paint and exercise, when he's napping I get all distracted and can't get anything done because I need to be able to hear if my son hits the ceiling while he is napping. All I need is a buzz or something so I know when to go rescue him. Apple you need to look into this. Along with Alka-seltzer who I am convinced needs to make a version pregnant women can take!

Well today is half gone. We road bikes, we slid on slides, we had the vacuum going, and some laundry too. The dishes have reinvented themselves and I have not laid down yet so I'm off to dreamland, or at least to close my eyes for maybe a minute or two.

Bubbles...really!?!

Thank goodness days end! Yesterday was more than anything I was ready for. The doctors was an exhausting unexpected scream fest. I had no clue what to do with this child that appeared not to be my own!!! He refused to be measured, refused to get his temperature taken, kicked and screamed the whole time. The staffs idea of helping was to blow bubbles at us. Thanks... really bubbles, you see a bulging pregnant woman trying to wrangle a terrified kid, dragging two coats, a clip board, a purse, toys, and a shoes, which they did not offer any help in the removal of, and the only thing this fully staffed office can do is blow bubbles at us...really!!! The whole exam was a flash of bolting my kid to the table, so the doc could maybe see something. And after two peeks, a poke, and a glance I get, brush his teeth everyday, make sure he wears a helmet, and good luck with your kid. Seriously... I could have stayed home. No thanks to any of the staff at Keller Army Hospital my kid really is well behaved, and listens quite well when not influenced by other kids. If they had offered help and perhaps slowed down to kid friendly and pregnant mama pace, they would have gotten better results. So much for bedside manners these days. No child is going to let a stranger swoop down and poke them with unidentifiable objects..none. But thank god that's over!

After that we came home played and recuperated on the couch, watching Oprah and Steve Harvey tell women how delusional they are. And there we stayed until dinner became an issue. I got no laundry done yesterday which only makes today's pile looks like the Rockies with foothills of dirty dishes standing by. But we have gym class today so everything will have to wait one more day! Gym class as fun as it is, is exhausting as well.

So today we will be off to gym class shortly. We will watch our woodpecker eat and peck holes into peoples homes, they are tearing them down anyway. We will eat lunch, nap, and play some more...maybe outside, 44 today, maybe! And we will stare at laundry and dishes (clean, in the dishwasher kind that need to be put up.) I have a million things racing around in my mind and I really need to find some time in there to paint. La-dee- da. Lets go!

#411...Where is Spring?

They said it was here. Yes it looks beautiful and warm out, but it is not actually warm out. Warmer. But not warm. Where is warm, the bottom of my belly is staring to stick out enough that my shirt does not actually cover it anymore and therefore I need it to be warm. This happens... my shirts do fit, but some do not have wrap under belly quality.

Over the weekend that zoomed by, we went to a birthday bash for a three year old girl who happens to be my sons hug partner, so we were happy to be there. It was not warm that day either. The party was an all day play till you drop type thing so Saturday came and went. Sunday was a day at church and then it was over. A quick weekend, last weekend was long and relaxing this one was very fast. I ask why are some long and some short but there is no answer. So here we are at Monday. Not a bad day for start, mainly filling the day with small things like dishes and dusting and of course laundry. Tyler has a doctors appointment at three, he seems excited...we'll see how that goes. After that I'm sure dinner will be the only thing on my mind and hopefully the day will go as calmly as it came. Hopefully!

Blog Breaks

It's 9:28am. The dishwasher is already whirring, Dad is out the door and Tyler has broken me down and is watching the "The Jungle Book" with the attentiveness I only wish I had...sometimes. And me I am sitting, my body has shut down on me in full protest of carrying another person around on the inside...where my pee should be kept. My hips give me a good twenty minutes of use a day, my feet maybe a good hour, my back quit a month ago...and the rest really wonders if it can take another 2.5 months, probably more like three. Although I'm pretty sure this one is threatening to come early, in fact I think she threatens to come everyday she just knows she is not allowed yet.

Nothing is really new around here. We are jumping out of our pants that spring IS coming. Not a minute of warm weather has been wasted. We have been trying to learn how to fish. It really is a lot of fun except for the fact that you have to touch worms. I thought I was tough until one of those suckers decided to show me whose boss, not me! I hate bugs and worms are included! If I actually ever really catch a fish I don't know what I'm going to do. Throw it back, yes, but how am I gonna get the thing off the hook!?!

So today I was gonna take Tyler to story time, but he is having a movie day and is not interested. Plus we woke up too late to make it happen anyway. Another rainy day here so I'm good to hang out inside. We got the groceries done yesterday with the bright sun, so an in day won't hurt. Perhaps I can get to some of the things on my to-do list...Ha! Like I said my mind and body are not in sync anymore so it's more like a wish-I-could-do-it list. Well we'll see!
