Long overdue update…

It has been a while since my last post I know. Every time I sat down to try I was just to tired to think of anything so I kept telling myself “don’t worry about it just try again later” and later I forgot.

So what has been happening well. If you’re not reading my other blog you won’t know that The Hubs and I got to hear the heartbeat of our little baby. I am now 14 weeks and 2 or 3 days (depends who is counting)

Last week I officially withdrew from my class for the remainder of the quarter because it was taking to much of a physical toll on me. So all the paperwork was submitted and I am free to focus on The Hubs, the critters, the house and the job. Oh and of course me, my health and the baby!

This weekend we had all the in-law fam over to celebrate the birthdays of Linda and Morgan

There was lots of yummy food and catching up with everyone and what has been going on in their lives. We  all missed out-law Dan who stayed home cause he was sick. And my favorite part was showing everyone the baby’s crib! Which was how we had originally planned to break the news to everyone…but…well…The Hubs and I were too excited to keep it a secret this long.

We missed out on Miss Courtney’s 3rd birthday celebration this weekend and my cousin Hannah turned 10 this weekend too! Hugs and kisses to both of them!

And that is it for now…

Another chip in the ole windshield…

Just about 4 inches apart I have matching chips in my windshield…one is sealed and one is not. I can’t believe it. Its like the rocks in the road are aiming for my head. I wonder what I did to piss them off?

Anyway I am really looking forward to this quarter being over…I just need more time for things I spend most of my weekends doing homework and then two nights a week in class I feel like I am hardly ever at home. And we have so much to do.

The yard needs all kinds of work, I really want to paint the kitchen to coordinate with the new counter tops & back splash, I want new cabinet doors and drawer fronts, it would be really nice to rip out our awful 30 year old carpet and get new floors too…aaarrrggghhh… I wonder if this is all getting to me because of the impending bambino. Hmphf

One thing at a time…

A few more weeks…

Midterms are complete. I feel much better with that hurdle behind me. Even though I was feeling on the verge of dropping the class this quarter…I think I will stick it out. The 10 minute presentation is looming on the horizon and for the girl who is paralyzed by the thought of public speaking I am psyching myself up everyday.

I know that it won’t be as bad as I am making it out to be but I generally deal with it by not dealing with it and then suffer a major anxiety attack right beforehand when the reality of me speaking in front of people who will all be looking at me sets in. And then I want to vomit and cry and curl up in a ball in a corner somewhere and never come out. Doesn’t this happen to anyone else?

My friends who don’t suffer this fear I am jealous. And grateful for all the pep talks that you have had to give me in the past. I know you don’t understand.

But those of you that see our fear as weakness. When is the last time you were afraid of something and did it anyway? Every single time we get up there in front of people we are standing up for ourselves…we are not weak.

Don’t underestimate us…
