Today was the first day someone noticed I am pregnant. I am 17 weeks so I guess it is finally OK. I seriously though feel like I have been showing for weeks, but luckily, I guess I am now looking officially pregnant and not just fat where people are too afraid to say, "are you pregnant?" You know that weird stage where your belly is starting to bulge and people look but they dare not ask,

My night is planned...I have been itching to do some re-organizing and what do you know... sitting here on my desk is a copy of "Growing-Up Organized: A Mom-to-Mom Guide" by Lea Schneider. Wahoo--I think I am going to like this.More to come...

So today we got a chance to finally go shopping without the kids. Bonus!! On the agenda was to find a new bedspread for our bedroom. We've been looking for what feels like forever! When we originally moved in we found a bright purple, mauve and gold set and now, 6 years later, we are so very tired of looking at it.Finally, we agreed to make the change and it has been such a fiasco just to

Well thank goodness for this weekend. I was able to catch up on some stuff and just let my mind wander. Every so often I just need that...to feel like I am not burdened with a whole lot of stuff on the brain. We all let so much weigh on us. Did I tell you a few weeks ago I took a Buddhism class? I really liked it; not just the meditation part but the principles themselves. I think everyone

I feel totally bad that I have neglected some of my blogging buddies lately. Even my Entrecard drops...I am slacking. I just have been so absorbed with work, and cleaning, and kids and baseball...but finally the World Series is over. I intentionally started this blog with the idea of getting a million readers a day...over-reaching? Yes, a bit. No, really I am happy to have even one lowly

Whiney Momma really wants to whine today! So here it goes...My work is driving me nuts...I am given a hard time for things that are out of my control. And please fire the damn woman who makes everything difficult. - WAHMy son's teacher has very little tact - she called to tell me my son's behavior is crazy. Please don't use the actual word, "crazy" when referring to my child. Use a more

You know, they always say "buyer beware," "you get what you pay for"...and I believe it. Man, do you only have to come upon a couple scams to find that out. Usually the hard way. From now on, I make a point to only buy from websites that are well-known and if you type in their company name and complaint and see 1,000 links...don't go there. Always do you research.It can be anything from

So I am finding some girl names I like...even though I have a quirky feeling this is a boy. Either way, since I am still in that phase of having fun with it...here are some I have picked out, what do you think?AmeliaTeaganKylaValerieNoraNoralieAny other ideas?

So...I'm back from vacation and I feel like the world is crashing down on me. I remember now why I was aching to get away from it all. Insurance issues, work, people, the whole cha-bang. Ya know, I am really becoming a people hater. It is sad to say but I'd rather hang out with an orangutan all day than an actual real human. People are just nasty these days. They are so insensitive.

Is it just me or did my blog miniaturize itself? Suddenly when I look at my site the font size is very small...maybe it is just my settings...do you see it?Anywho, today I was looking up baby names. Yes, the most fun part of pregnancy for me is sifting through many, many names hoping I will come up with the most perfect name. We have a boys name we like but finding a girls' name seems to be

OMG, now that we have finished our trick or treating... there are mounds and mounds of candy downstairs. The willpower! I need more of it, now!Maybe I should start looking into getting a used treadmill because I am going to need to really work it out this next month. I almost dread the fact that I know I will be binging on this stuff. I know I will be. Halloween and Easter...two times of

So what we the best rides at Disney? Well considering I am preggo...It's a Small World seemed the most exciting to me. Nah, there were actually a lot more than I expected that I could go on. In Magic Kingdom, we hit the Safari ride, Pirates of the Caribbean (which is slightly scary to 3 year olds I found out) and then the carousel and Snow White ride.I left the Thunder Mountain and Mount

Well we are back...back from Disney! What a week. OMG, can I tell you how bad my feet hurt? Let's just say I think I walked a thousand miles. And with all the walking and back breaking up and down, in and out of monorails, tram cars, ferries, buses, cars and rides...it was still a blast. My head is still spinning from all the sights, sounds and smells. The kids had an amazing time. I don't

So I have been taking a break from my kettlebell lately. Don't get me wrong, I love it. It has given me some guns on these arms. Oh yeah baby (holding up arm...ignore that little flab please)! Anywho, I haven't had time to really do all the exercises I usually do; plus I am trying to be careful. The baby may not really feel like a muscle man (or woman) yet.I am so glad I still have my

Oh how I need to relax....breathe in, breathe out...breathe in, breathe out. Listening to Faith Hill, "just breathe..." yes, I'm getting there. You know it is funny, I have been trying to mediate lately. I took a Buddhist class last week and I have decided, it's the way to go.So last night, I was tired but my mind was going a mile a minute so I settled in bed and started to try and

So after finding out I may have to pay more than $16,000 for our 3rd child's birth, and literally almost having a heart attack...I think we may have a solution. Hallelujah. I was in frustrated mood all day. I was ready to charge over to somebody's office (the insurance co) and demand they tell me why they have such a shitty plan and why they don't spell this out a little better in their plan

What a nightmare! I am in the middle of finding out if I will be a poor person shortly. Poor in the respect that I will be shopping for underwear at thrift stores and never seeing the inside of a restaurant again, maybe not even a McDonalds.Tears started streaming down my face this afternoon when the woman at the OB/GYN office called to tell me that my insurance sucks. Not just sucks but

I have had so many good things on the brain lately to blog about, but of course, now that I am sitting here in front of my computer I am blank. Blank like a big fat test that I don't know the answers to. Speaking of tests though, today I went in for a regular belly check and they said my tests were great. Everything in the clear. My PA seems to think I am the easiest patient in the world...

Well I have been aching for some wine lately *sniff sniff.* I miss it...dearly. I am starting to wonder if I was an alcoholic. Would you call a drink of wine every night or maybe every other night a form of alcoholism? I guess in a way it is. Here I am several weeks without a drop and I am sad. That glass of wine was my sanity. Like a drug (as it is) it really did calm my nerves. And so

What a weekend. Man the sun was shining bright yesterday. Temps were a cool low 60s and it was what I could consider, the Perfect fall day. I wish I got more pics but my camera battery died. I love pumpkin and apple picking, hot apple cider, colorful leaves, the smell of mums, halloween theme crafts, parties, LOVE IT! The kids are pretty gung ho about the holidays too.We have our costumes,

You know some people are such idiots. They really are. We are currently in the stage of telling people about our unexpected 3rd pregnancy. But we are now happy about it. We have decided it was meant to be. If I can get pregnant that easily then life was meant to come to us. We are about 13 weeks and since I am starting to bulge and we think it is just good to get it off our chest. It is

So we are only a couple weeks away from our Orlando vacation. Oh, how I need it. We are so overdue for a vacation. We are that point where if it doesn't come any sooner, we will go ballistic. You need to plan vacations, you really do. If you think you can make it a year or two without them and then it will creep upon you, when the stress has taken handful of hair away from you, when you look

Urgh...today feels endless. I am so tired. All I want to do is lay down and take a nap. Of course my two kiddies want to bounce around and do stuff. Damn, if only I had half that energy. Please, please give me some. So today I went to lunch with a friend and her two kids. Urgh. Yes, the kids just fought, spilled stuff, whined and my aching heart was whispering "give me a margarita."

I live in a nice neighborhood, what might be certainly considered affluent. Most homes around these parts go for an average of $800,000 and this is the east coast. So anywho, the brand of people walking around are usually courteous, educated, non-violent type. Still, we seem to have a rash of folks coming up this way burglarizing, terrorizing, stalking and what not. It's crazy. I am so glad I

So today I was volunteering at my son's school....first graders. Usually I am pretty gung ho about those cuties but today I am starting to realize more and more how these kids have such little respect for adults. Any adult. Seriously when I was a kid, if an adult told me to stop doing something, I froze in my shoes. These days, the kid will look you right in the eye and continue. I told kids
