1. Today I'm sitting down to lunch on some dry Wheaties and I had to FIGHT OFF THE CAT for them. WTH? What kind of cat likes dry Wheaties, especially so much that he's willing to jump onto the desk and literally push my hands out of the way for them?
2. I use Pandora a lot while working. I rarely notice when they put up the "are you still listening" page - it takes me like 5 minutes to notice that there's no music. Although I'm the only person here, this always makes me feel embarrassed.
my new baby at daycare is really high maintenance. And her cry is louder than any baby I have ever heard. :-|
I am in an icky time of pregnancy...my bump is getting big and round, but it's still soft. I am overweight so i feel like it's all just fat and not baby. I feel weird wearing maternity clothes but my jeans will not fit anymore. I feel weirdl ike I am dressing up my fat as a baby bump.
I don't think DH understands the extent of my m/s. Like Dude, seriously not puking today means it was a good day.
Along the same lines, I was going to clean our bathroom Sunday while DH was at work, except, said m/s had me on the couch all morning. I asked DH to clean it. He still hasn't, it's Wednesday. I guess I'll have to do it tonight.
Oh and another cleaning related one, why doesn't my DH understand that no one should poop in the downstairs 1/2 bath unless they're a guest with some stomach issues. Shoot even if my mom is visiting she'll go upstairs and use the hall bath! I want to keep my 1/2 bath clean! Go use the master bath toilet!
Really I love my DH, my m/s just hit me like a brick this week and I'm cranky b/c of it.

I ate Thai food for lunch and now my stomach is KILLING me. I'm pretty sure last pregnancy at this point I was eating whatever I wanted with no issues. I'm so tired of not being hungry for anything or feeling like crap after I eat!
Ha! Things definitely need to be in odd numbers. It looks better that way.
1. My oldest daughter started preschool today. That means two days a week I get 2.5 hours where it is just me and the baby. AMAZING!
2. I emailed the builder because I haven't heard from them in 3 weeks. H and I went out there this weekend (about a 25 minute drive) and saw that our water meter had been delivered and that they were watering the land in preparation for grading and eventually trenching. I don't know when trenching will be but I want to go walk around the lot and take pictures (because I am a nerd like that) but I don't want to drive out there if I will just be taking another picture of a sprinkler.
3. H has a coworker that does bbq competitions and makes some amazing meat. We paid him to cook a brisket for us on Monday. The brisket is so tender you can cut it with a fork and he makes his own rub. Yum! H brought it home yesterday and I have about 6 lbs. of meat that we need to eat over the next few days. We will definitely be calling some family to come help.

1. I like maternity clothes. I'm not sure if this means that I just have bad taste or what. But I think this drapey empire waist stuff is CUTE and I love that "makes me look pregnant" is now a good thing.
2. As of 5 minutes ago (just got off the phone with MH) - we're hiring a painter to prime everything and paint our ceilings. I'm irrationally excited by this. I'm gung ho as shit about DIYing demolition, framing, tile and more - but the idea of priming the whole damn house was killling me. Pros can knock it out in a day. Maybe 2. It'd probably take us 2 weekends - which can be much better spent doing more tile! I'm excited to get rid of all the weird dusty drywall smell.
3. Forcuatro - brisket freezes like a dream if you end up with too much. Just FYI.

NO! We're within days of each other and I've boxed up all my normal work pants. Embrace the bump. My bump is (and has been for about 2 weeks) entirely made up of belly pudge and what I can only assume are my intestines squishing out of my tummy and being insufficiently contained by my super-weak abs.
I walk around rubbing that thing like it kicks.
And people tell me it's cute.
JUST GO WITH IT.
Because I refuse to admit that maybe I'm actually just a pudgster with a big gut. We need some sort of 15ish weeker solidarity here Peach.
1. I have a total irrational worry and guilt complex about leaving my dog alone during the day. I'm pretty sure that I have more backup and emergency plans for my dog getting walks than most people have for their kids getting picked up from school. Heaven help us if we ever DO have children...
2. I'm seriously considering writing in Captain America for President in Nov. That should tell you my opinion on my choices.
3. I preordered a special edition of a book that I then waited SEVEN MONTHS for (they weren't sure on a release date when they started taking pre orders). It finally got here yesterday. I can't decide whether to read it quick or relish it. It's only 86 pgs long.
I put a bunch of stuff out on the front porch for a charity pick up, and I was proud of myself for purging and for getting rid of a few things that I don't wear and things that I thought I would get around to altering but really won't...then I realized that the giant bag of stuff was almost completely filled with DHs clothes. He even folded clothes that he is giving away like it was The Gap or something. ;p
After reading YHLs train board post, I keep thinking that if I had a popular blog and Benjamin Moore asked me to select favorite colors for a color deck, I would not be running to HD for Behr Paint samples and singing its praises.
My sister called to tell me that my mom had some sort of episode when she was getting ready to leave her doctors office today and was sent to the emergency room (but was asking to go home and assuring everyone that she was fine), and my first thought was relief that her doctor witnessed it and maybe now will figure out what is going on. It is hard to be far away and not know how often this is happening....we have suspected that something was going on, but most of the time she sounds okay when we talk.
1. I like to drink beer from the state of the team I am rooting for. I could not find beer from Texas in three different stores. It has made me irrationally grumpy.
2. Redecorating my closet room is going to take forever. And I am okay with that because it means I won't have to focus on our bedroom for awhile.
3. I can hardly wait for my long weekend-vacation in October.
Today was terrible. 1. This weather is killing my sinuses! I woke up with a sore throat and crazy congestion.
2. My mom informed me today that a mass she had removed from her head recently was cancerous. She didn't give anymore detail than that (oh, and that's she's old and falling apart).
3. A tree limb fell and knocked down the power lines to my house. This also resulted in a broker meter box and a hole in my roof from where the lines were connected.
In good news, my neighbor who just sold her house told us we can HAVE her power tools and riding lawn mower. She refuses to accept payment--we'll find a way to compensate her, though.

My DS1 started preschool today, too. It is bittersweet b/c it means he is growing up (he's 3), but I am excited for those 2 days a week that I get to spend with my 1 year old. I feel like he and I haven't had the 1 on 1 that DS1 and I had. Now, what to do with our time...hmmm...
1. I am so over the whole "first-day-of-x-grade!" on a chalkboard idea. Did it come from pinterest? Either way, while i think it's great that you want to document your child's first day of school, try to be a little different than everyone else. Seeing 40 pictures of kids holding a chalkboard stating their school grade in my Facebook newsfeed gets old.
2. On a similar, maybe flameful note, I am tired of seeing parents of 2 year olds saying "little junior's first day of pre-school is Monday! SNIFF!!!!!" First off, let's call it what it really is: daycare. Or, moms-day out. Your 2 year old going to a 4 hour program once a week is NOT pre-school, Even if they are taking a back-pack. maybe I need to get off Facebook for awhile, lol.
3. We just booked a trip to Las Vegas and I'm super excited!

Agh!!! Don't read my random confession. I swear it's not aimed at you! i was referring to my SIL who's son just turned 2 and is now in "pre-school" ha.

I was walking and contracting and then I got in the car and they slowed to 7 minutes.
Apparently, MIL and SIL are super concerned that it's "too early!!!" but I'm pretty sure SIL was drinking castor oil at this stage of her last two pregnancies to induce her own labor. I am just walking! Keeping me healthy!

Word! Where I come from it's called TotLot. Where I live now It's Toddler School all part of ECFE. Either way it's a great program and Rubes is actually going to one for one year olds at the end of the month. However, an hour session where you slap some fingerpaint on paper, sing a stupid song, have a snack all while mom listens to other parents yap about how a) ridicuously naughty their toddlers are or b) what saints they are since they've been raised by Martyr Mom of the Year is not Preschool.
Along that same line, I hate the term Positive Discipline. I get it, use it understand it. However, sometimes a "NO" followed by a "Because I said so!" is perfectly justified. I don't need to explain myself positively 800xs a day esp. to a Toddler who thinks I'm saying "kitty" to her anyways.

DH's bff, (the one who lets their kids walk and eat food in other peoples' houses and then leaves the home owner to deal with the mess) believes that you should only ever praise a kid. Period. EVER.
So his daughter one day announced to my 6 year old nephew how awesome she is. She'd been driving him INSANE so he loudly declared "You are NOT awesome!" at a perfect lull during the adults' conversation. It was hilarious!!

Hehe. No offense taken. I actually wasn't planning to start DS until next year when whe will be four. I decided to do it this year because we moved into an apartment and have no yard for her to play and there is just so little space here. The PS she goes to is run by a lady from church that has a small class of little kids that she will read to, make alphabet books with, play in the yard, feed the chickens. Today they even made mini smiley face pizzas. It is very relaxed and I think it will be great for her to get out of the apartment for a while. Once the house is built and we move to the other side of town she will not go for the rest of the year. For now though, AMAZING!
