Ever have one of those days when every single thing/person that crosses your path gets on your nerves? Of course you have! I’m definitely having one of those days today.
For starters I’ve hit the “fat cow” stage of pregnancy. At least that’s how I’ve been feeling all week. I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that I absolutely cannot get comfortable at night if Hubby is in bed. After he crawled out of bed this morning I was able to stretch out for about an hour before my phone started ringing off the hook. First it was my Dad wanting to know if I wanted an old monitor he bought at Circuit City years ago before they started to suck. I told him I already have too many extra monitors sitting around here, and I really need to list some of them on Freecycle or something.
Then I had to explain the whole fiasco that’s going on with my sister and Mom. I haven’t really spoken to them over the last 2 weeks. My sister has called me 4 times today, and of course I haven’t answered. I have very good reason why I’m not speaking to them, but when I wouldn’t answer the phone this morning she ran to my Dad crying about it with some lame story until he called me. I’m happy to hear that he’s now backing me after finding out what’s really going on. I’ll explain what’s going on later if I feel like ranting yet again about how screwed up my Mom and sis are, but that just put me in an even worse mood today.
I think I might go lock myself in my bedroom with the dog and the tv remote for awhile. Maybe that will help me feel a little better.
I had to take a minute to blip Simon & Garfunkel- The Sound of Silence because that’s exactly what I’ve been enjoying today. Hubby lined up a small remodel job this week, so I’m enjoying every single minute of this. No loud tv. No obnoxious shooting sounds coming from Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare
and the PlayStation 3
…just me, the dog (who’s passed out cold and slightly snoring), the cat, and my pint of Chunky Monkey (because Ingles doesn’t carry Banana Split :().
Ahhhh I love it! I forgot how easy it was to actually accomplish something when I’ve got the whole day to myself. Last week I felt like I spent all week doing laundry, dishes, and my typical household chores. It’s nice to get everything done in one day again so I can actually concentrate on work most of the week. I can’t wait until he’s back to work full time. I love him, but he knows exactly how to drive a girl crazy…and not in a good way. Then again, don’t all men have that gene?
Anywho, I wasn’t really planning to spend much time online today, but since I’ve finished my housework I have plenty of time to get to work. I thought about spending sometime outside with the dog, but after 5 minutes I was pouring sweat. Pregnancy and heat just aren’t making a good combo today…even though it’s actually only 88 degrees out.
I think I’ll get a little work done, and then I might just spend some time cooking a decent meal for once. This week has been full of meals I could slap together in 10 minutes or less, but I actually feel like spending a little time in the kitchen making something nice. It’s amazing how instead of complaining about cooking and cleaning I’m actually enjoying it right now. I guess it’s because I know once Elliana enters this world I won’t have time to do either.
I finally gave up trying to sleep around 5am this morning after tossing and turning all night. I think I’m going to have to come to terms with the fact that the last trimester is going to be hell…but for a good cause. My heartburn has gotten to a point where it’s down right unbearable, and even the prescription stuff the doctor gave me is laughable.
I just keep reminding myself that it will all be over soon, and it’s all for the most wonderful cause ever. Pretty soon I’m going to be thinking back on these days reminding myself that even though I felt like the depths of hell had taken up residence in my digestive tract I wish I could do it all over again. I’m going to miss every little kick, punch, and movement no matter how many times it causes me to puke. I’ll admit in my wildest dreams I never thought it could be like this, and while looking into my daughter’s chunky little face I’m going to wish I could stuff her back in for just a few more moments. Then I’ll probably ask Hubby if we can do it again, and he’ll laugh at me like I’m a crazy woman.
In our minds we’ve decided we’ll wait at least 3 years before attempting to go through this again, but we also know things don’t always work out like you plan. We had planned to find insurance before we got pregnant. Hubby’s boss even looked into getting insurance for his guys through Blue Advantage, but we didn’t qualify since we’re not NC residents (just working in the state). We thought we’d waited until we were financially stable…and we see exactly what happened there as well. I think if anything we’ve learned that no matter how prepared you think you are nothing is ever going to go the way you think it will.
Good afternoon peeps. Today our household is feeling kind of bleh. The weather has us both kind of down and out…ya know one of those super cloudy days that makes you feel like crawling back in bed. At least I’ve been able to convince Hubby to help me with some more stuff in the nursery today.
Actually scratch that. Last night I convinced Hubby to help me completely rearrange the bedrooms for no reason, and we’ve spent part of today putting the nursery back together. I up and decided I wanted to switch the bedrooms and move my office yet again, but it keeps Hubby busy. If I don’t keep him busy he ends up playing Call of Duty 4 and driving me crazy all day with the sounds of killing peoples lol.
Anywho, now that we’ve decided to step away from the household stuff for awhile I need to get to work online. I need to get my weekly online backups running for my websites, and I’ve got to finish setting up a forum for a friend. Then maybe I can dig through more of the email that’s piled up for me, and I might even have a chance to think about a new blog layout. It’ll just depend on how I’m feeling by then. I’m already in the mood to go back to bed!
