What a Day

Waking up several times in the night to go to the bathroom = no fun

Being kept awake by hurricane force winds = frustrating

Getting up an hour early for an appointment= total bummer

Going grocery shopping with 2 tired and fussy toddlers = a nightmare

Loading a cart full of groceries into the back of the SUV = exhausting

Sneaking the box of brownies from their sack and gorging them while crouched behind the SUV, all the while zoning out the screaming coming from inside = sweet relief



Happy Birthday G'pa We love you!

Ouch

I haven't slept very well for the last couple of nights due to spasms and cramps in my legs. I have tried drinking more water, milk, and all the other "homeopathic" remedies to no avail. This has left me tired again and my legs are sore all day long. Ahhh well it's all down hill from here.

Soaking it up

We have really been enjoying ourselves lately. BBQ'ing, going for walks, swimming weather permitting, and going to baseball games. Today was our first trip to the local library and the girls signed up for the summer reading program. We will go every Tuesday until school starts. The girls do a craft project and check out several books a piece. It's really nice because we live within walking distance so we get more use out of Midge's wagon. The weather was great today so we also walked to Chiggie's game. The flowers in this neighborhood are incredible. Have I mentioned that I love this time of year?

Over

The weekend is basically over already. It was a short one anyway with all the activities we had scheduled coupled with the fact that the King had to work on Saturday. My plans today were dashed by rain. I had hoped to spend the afternoon with my new pink floatie soaking up the sun. Oh well, this week doesn't look too bad so far.

It's strange, but with everything we have going on, I sometimes forget that I am even pregnant. There for a while I was feeling pretty tired and my feet were hurting a lot at night but that seems to have passed for now. I have some extra energy maybe intended for nesting but I don't really want to waste it on cleaning. I am sure I will live to regret that. I don't usually even notice the baby moving until around 10 pm. Probably because at this point the house is quiet and I actually have time to notice. While I am excited to meet her and hold her and all the great stuff that comes with a brand new baby I am trying to fit in a lot before August 2nd. I hope not to go early. We'll see what I am saying in about 6 weeks.

Opening Day

First off, the answer to yesterday's trivia is shockingly d. Yes d. It was lovely

Today was our Church's Vacation Bible School. Chiggie was there from 9-1:30 and then had her first t-ball game. It went great. She hit the ball 3 times and fielded it a couple of times as well. Afterwards the team had a BBQ at the park and the girls had a blast. Now I think we are all ready for bed.

I'd also like to take this opportunity to wish Grandma Dixie a Happy Birthday. She is either turning 21 or 50 I can't remember.

Swimming

We actually ended up going to the pool. So here's a little trivia for you all. How did our trip go?

Did

a) one of the girls get unnecessarily "rescued" by a lifeguard
b) one of the girls leave a "present" on the deck of the baby pool requiring scrub brushes and bleach
c) the temperatures hover in the low 60's insuring we will all end up with pneumonia
d) all of the above

Tune in tomorrow for the results!

June

It's June right? Not March or April. Someone needs to let the weather know. We were supposed to go to the pool today, but probably not going to happen if we can't get temperatures to come on up out of the 60's. *sigh*
