My Mother's Day

Here is what my loving family - and extended family sent me:

From L to R: the yellow card is from Sox and Calvin as well as the Roses, the blue card is from my BFF Sarah , the pink card you can't see very well is from Ms. Jean - in it she included the lovely poem I posted earlier today, and the pool is from my loving husband. I had complained that I wanted a pool for our back yard because it's starting to get hot and yucky here and I am getting to the point where it's getting harder to go down to Jess' house to "borrow" her pool ;). The only issue will be keeping the boys out of it, ok well Calvin anyhow.

Mother's Day Poem

The wonderful Ms. Jean sent this in a Mother's Day Card to me, and yes I know I'm posting it a day late but better late then never right?!

A Mothers Day Prayer for Mothers

Now I lay me down to sleep,

I pray my sanity to keep.

For if someplace I cannont find,

I'm pretty sure I'll loose my mind.

I pray I find a little quiet,

far from the daily family riot.

May I lie back --- not have to think,

about what they're stuffing down the sink

or who they're with or where they're at,

or what they're doing to the cat.

I pray for time to be by myself,

(Did something just fall off the shelf?)

To cuddle in my nice soft bed,

(Oh no, another goldfish dead!)

Some silent moments for goodness sake

(Did I just hear a weindow break?)

And that I need not cook or clean,

(Well, heck, I've got a right to dream!!)

Yes, now I lay me down to sleep,

I pray my wits about me keep.

But as I look around I know,

I must have lost them long ago!!

More Presents!

So it looks as if my mom has taken on the role of Nona in our family. (What I named my grandma - her mom). She sent out a HUGE box last week and it finally arrived today!

Chris opened the box while I took pictures... after finding what seemed like an endless supply of goodies we just started laying everything out on the floor.

There where 8 outfits or onsies, 2 hooded blankets, a bunch of washcloths, a pair of shoes, 2 4packs of recieving blankets, a thick blanket, 4 pairs of diffrent sized character socks, a 3pack of bottles, 2 pack (diffrent sized) head rests, pacifiers, a swaddle me blanket, 3 crib sheets and a gift card. I think Nona went alittle nuts ;)

Hormones, Holidays and Me

WTH?!

Why is it suddenly funny because I'm "grumpy"? Okay maybe this hormones speaking - but I woke up in a crappy mood. I did not want to get out of bed this morning, period. But I did. I went to my morning class and somehow managed to be entertained by my microbiology prof (who used toliet paper to demonstrate glycolysis - it was very involved and pretty funny). After which I came home to try and take a nap. I can't sleep during the day - but laying in bed for a couple hours tends to make me feel a little better. I just don't understand why it's funny that I'm in a grumpy mood, or why on the way home I'm in tears. Granted I don't think anyone understood why, or realized it that I was crying perhaps. But I just don't get why it's funny when the pregnant chick is grumpy.

Valentine's Day Part One

My husband was lovely enough this morning to wake me up with a combination of eskimo kisses, butterfly kisses, and "my" kisses. I think yesterday we pretty much decided to wait and have our "Valentine's Day" this weekend sometime. Hopefully he won't be working. All I know is that he's trying to figure out how my valentines day present will fit into the baby's room with the furniture that is in there already. (I'm hoping that if he is considering getting me the glider rocker that I want, he'll realize I want to put it downstairs - not in the baby's room.) Either way my curiosity is KILLING ME. Anyone who knows me knows that you can't tell me your getting me something (or have gotten me something) and NOT tell me what it is! Chris' gift is more for the two of us to enjoy! :)
