The Straight Jacket

Sign me up for the white coat.

I am nuts.

It's official.

Dusty confirms.

I am restless.

I am worried.

I am tired.

I am swollen.

I am setting up, tidying up, and preparing.

For what?

I have two small children who undo all the done.

It's futile.

I am almost done.

I feel exhausted.

I am looking forward to being able to roll over.

To stand up from sitting and not groan.

To see my feet.

To put on my socks. (although it's almost summer sooo those will be completely un-needed)

To not have heartburn (never got it with the other two and gosh it is terrible)

To not have to drive to the doctor.

Oh that day will come.

Only a few hurdles left.

AND

then I can have my brain back.

(I hear angels singing)

Did I mention I am nuts?

Mistake.

It is the wee hours of the morning. I should be sleeping BUT clearly, unless I am insanely talented at sleeping and typing, I am not. I had a nap today. It felt fab at the time. Now I know that I have entered into a vicious cycle. Nap. Stay up late. Tired tomorrow. Nap again. repeat. Not so good. Good thing I have a very good excuse to do NOTHING. Can you believe that I only have 4 weeks left of being pregnant? I would like to forget. BUT everyone around me keeps reminding me. I am aware (even though I would like to remain blissfully in denial).

Do you know why I have been a blog slacker? My phone. I got a new cell phone. It's amazing. It tells me when I get an email and facebook.... it's crazy. I feel like I've been living my life under a rock. I am fairly certain you can blog from these fancy contraptions but it's too mind blowing for me at the moment.

hmmm. I feel the need for sleep.
later.

Love Hate

Kijiji.
That's all I have to say.
That's a lie.
I LOVE kijiji.... most of the time.
Last week or earlier this week (which feels like last week) I TRIED (and that's where the hate comes in) all this fab. stuff. I found the most awesomest perfectest like it was almost fate kinda deals. They ALL fell through. Blasted kijiji. I cried. I blame it on my "condition". I went into a deep temporary depression. (okay not really but I debated it). BUT Kijiji has vindicated itself. I found the most awesomest perfectest deal on patio stones. Like EXACTLY what I was looking for. sooooo now I am going to have a HUGE cheap (did I mention cheap) patio. 12'x18' for 300.00 bucks.
You may all be jealous now.

A future

I know I'm a slacker. Our life has been busy. BUT that is no excuse. We bought a mini-van. Yep that's right. We joined the masses of all the uncool parents who want function and economy. Dusty is mortified. I really wanted to show you the beauty we found BUT my camera in MIA (I'm blaming Dusty... I would blame the dog BUT our dog really isn't smart enough for that sort of thing).
I thought buying a minivan would appease my purchase spending because of post-Olympic boredom BUT it hasn't. Today alone I've made arrangements to purchase a play-yard, patio stones, retaining wall stones, and a bedroom set. It's true. I am on a roll. I'm loving it (that's because Dusty's not home yet...).
We were having a really difficult time deciding on the direction we were going to go in the next 6 months of renos. Our debate was to
1)buy a trailer
2) landscape
3) completely finish the basement

So clearly we decided that the backyard was the way to go for us. I am really sad about the trailer BUT when we lived in the hat we LOVED our backyard and we used it so much and our yard here needs help. a LOT of help. and you can never go wrong increasing the value of your property, right?

That's what's new. I have spring fever. I just am so excited. I can feel it. It's just around the corner.

BBQing
fresh air
less dog hair
swimming
quadding
just the lake in general
birds
a tan!!!!

Oh I can hardly wait.

A Quirk

I've been watching the olympics. That's all I've been doing. I feel lost. When I get lost I buy things. It makes me feel better. I'll show you what I bought tomorrow.
