Happy Mother’s Day
I hope all my mom friends had just as fabulous a Mother’s Day as I did.
This pic was taken yesterday while the hubby and I attended a wedding. I got a pic of the happy couple watching the sunset and I couldn’t resist getting one of myself celebrating making it to 20 weeks
Just a touch more Loving
Okay first thing first, I wish to pay my respect to a woman that helped me be with the man I love today. Last Friday, Mildred Jeter Loving, died at the young age of 68. It was because of her and her husbands love for one another that got the ball rolling and sent their case to the Supreme Court where it was ruled,
How awesome is that? Thank you so much Mildred and Richard.
On to other news. I’m officially declaring that I pretty much dislike my job and it dislikes me right back. I got my 5 yr certificate in the mail today and yeah I could burn it. At work I go between wanting to cry and wanting to laugh because of all the craziness. Art says I’m just too much for it. I want to believe that but I’m thinking I’m just not enough. Oh well. I will be very happy to go on a much needed vacation when I have this baby.
Hey Baby! Ireland felt the baby! Hopefully in one week we will know what exactly we can call this kiddo baking away in my tummy. So yeah I’m over my job. Tomorrow marks 5 years since I started. Kinda forced to get this job to provide for my daughter and I. It’s definitely given me alot. But unfortunately a lot of it has been grief. But what’s a girl to do. Just work thru it and know it can’t always rain on my parade. But I am so looking forward to being out for the baby. Which I have 2 days left to decide about our insurance. What is the best option for us as a family. What will save us the most money to help us pay for any bills and allow me to stay home for up to 12 weeks. Who knows.
Anyways it’s time for bed. My classes started back up this week and I’m not sure how much longer I’ll get away with sitting at the desk. Ugh.

It hasn’t even really started yet but I know it’s coming.
Woe is me.

Not sure if anyone else has had this problem but did you know that one awesome thing to do once you turn Eighty was sleep in?
Or at least that’s what my grandfather did.
Yesterday he turned Eighty. 80. Wow. And he’s just moving along as if he’s in his 50’s. Making lists to run his errands and attend all the church services in the world.
As an honor to my grandfather if the baby is a boy he will get part of his name. For his birthday we shared that with him. It’s been a very long time since I’ve seen my grandfather excited over something I said but that did it. And thus I’m very excited.
Hopefully 2 weeks from today we see some private parts and we can get to picking things out for this little Piglet that is just bouncing around inside me.
In the meantime, I’m trying to fight a cold that is trying to take me out. I don’t really have time to get sick. Like really. But I know it’s coming to bust my busy ass. I’ve been at work everyday since the 20th. Not 8 hours everyday but at least 4. So yeah I’m a bit tired. Also I’ve finally been making dinner again. I’m so proud. And tonight I kicked out some laundry and helped Ireland clean her room and mopped the floor and finally got world peace. Oops wait that last part was in a dream.
Anyways think of me. Slowly dying over here. Sneezing, which my gag reflex is all off and I have to try hard to not puke up everything. Which still not gaining any weight. My midwife should be so happy. Also passed my glucose test because you know I didn’t have diabetes like that bitch thought. Oops. Ha. Getting a little bitter there again.
And oh got my records from Ireland’s birth. Very surreal to read over them and see what happened during my time in the hospital. But I’m hoping it’s enough to convience these doctors for me to have a VBAC so I don’t have to getting all forceful or anything.
Okay let me run, not like I don’t have 50 more things to do tonight before bed. Fold clothes. Have Art run and get me some soy ice cream for my sore throat. Make soy shake. Cut fruit! Eat 5000 mg of potassium so I don’t get leg cramps, blah, blah blah…….

But they may be put on hold as I checked prices for summer camp for Ireland and it appears that we all may need to get second jobs! That includes Ireland!
We’re looking at a 300% increase people. Please someone stop me from killing over! Don’t these people know we’re having a baby and we have nothing! Not that you need a lot but I’d like to have a little something in the bank so I don’t feel so bad for buying that cute outfit I just have to have.
Anyhoo in the meantime. Summer Camp scouting means we have only 2 more months left of school. 2 more months of my baby being a Kindergartener.
As she got on the bus this morning, I thought to myself it appeared that she had barely grown all school year, she’s still wearing the same size and shoes if she wants. Which means that MY baby can’t be a 1st grader anytime soon. It’s impossible.
But I guess that’s why they say nothing is impossible.
