One week of Perfection

This week was so relaxing.

 I do realize that I just had a baby and that life should be busy and crazy

BUT

 it's so nice to be home.

It is so nice to sleep in my bed.

It was so nice to have more than two changes of clothes.

Dusty put a TV in our room.

 I'm not a huge fan of TVs in bedrooms BUT

 it is lovely.

 I cuddled with all 3 of my little girls yesterday and watch cartoons with them.

Dusty and I have been able to relax and watch some TV and cuddle with Penny.

The swelling has actually come out of my feet.

Right now my life is awesome.

I can't imagine being anywhere better.

Find a Penny Pick Her Up and All Day Long You'll Have Good Luck!

It is by the grace of God that we have her here with us.

Splitting Hairs

This is my hair yesterday.

Lovely huh?

This is my hair now.

Well last night.

Blow-dried and styled.

This is my hair today.

What it will look like normally.

Not blow-dried.

Not "done".

Oh and with no make-up....

Dusty said it looked like a "mom hair-cut"....

I am a mom.....

(that came with an eye roll)

pinched Nose

I got denied.

No heaven for me....

well not yet anyways.

I'm happy about that.

Today the sun is shining.

I get to go out for dinner with a bunch of ladies...

(am I getting too old to be considered a "girl"?)

My MIL is coming to visit

AND

she's bringing lunch...

Today is going to be great.

knock knock knocking on heaven's door.

Okay I think this may be it.

I am pretty sure this will be my last ever blog post.

I am dying.

I know it.

I can feel it deep inside my aching butt muscle.

Too graphic?

Perhaps, BUT I feel like it's too graphic.

I am ready for a rear end amputation.

(is that even possible??)

I wish I knew what I did.

It could of been the squats...

On a much brighter note. The shower is tiled in our masterbath....

Great Eggspectations

We've been looking forward to Easter weekend for a LONG time.

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

Oh I can hardly wait.
