restless

She is restless today... so I am not as productive as yesterday. Tomorrow is Thanksgiving, it will be her first. Turkey is being defrosted and the smell of pumpkin pie fills the air. If I could just get her to settle into a real sleep, I might be able to finish her laundry. I was lucky enough to get the holiday off and I am ever grateful for that. Sent my father-in-law's birthday card out, hoping it will get there in time. That alone is a big accomplishment for me since I always seem to slack in that department. Its never too late to change right, and I am thankful this year for FAMILY.

visa versa

I'm back at work, and when I am there, I miss being home. I had a busy day doing chores, and the baby let me get majority of it done. Its always nice to come home to a clean house. So much to do, so little time. I have all these big plans but no help lifting the big stuff. That's when I get discouraged and want to give up. The holidays are upon us and soon it will be carving turkey, and time for the Christmas tree to go up. I wish I had a few bucks to hit up black Friday, but the best I can hope for is a new stocking to put this new little ones name on. So many first, so exciting. She is settling into a routine, and things are looking good. Especially sleeping thru the night.

Daddy saved baby... everyone else (mommy/wife) was left to fend for themselves.

7 more days to go

braxton hicks

i hate coming home late after work to a dark house. hes snoring, hogging the bed, so i guess that i have to find somewhere else to lay my head. these labor pains have been killing me. thank God i have a doc appointment tomaro. he keeps asking me if i want to go to the hospital... i'd rather just lay in my own bed. i haven't been able to do much... bed rest they call it. all the while my head wants to nest. so much to do before its too late. then again, i guess its never too late. maybe they will give me something for the pain. i feel bad about ditching work, so i am hanging on as long as i can. although that's not much longer. tonight was easier on me than last, even thou i ended up staying later tonight. thou it was all in vain. one of those European nights. i don't get a lot of those, but tis the season. so i am weighing my pros and cons, and seeing if i can really afford to throw in the towel now. guess we'll just see what the doc says tomaro. it will be easier if she just made the decision for me.

Birthday Boy!

 My baby boy isnt such a baby anymore. By this time tomorrow, 

He will be 9years old.

Happy Birthday Big D

You were such a teeny tiny baby when you were born

Look at you today

I love you with all my heart

I love you to the moon and back.

I pray blessings on your special day!!

Evelyn, Its your birthday!

5000 miles away my mother in law is celebrating her birthday. It pains me (and her son) to be so far away during special days such as this. We would have loved to take her out to lunch and bake her a cake with all her favorite flavors. Drive her out to somewhere beautiful where we could take a short walk in the autumn changing colors. It all sounds so lovely.

Happy Birthday Mom. We miss you and wish were there to spend your special day with you! All our love. XO

10am

Its 10 in the morning, and the dogs are barking outside. I am cooped up in my room, unwilling to leave the comforts of my bed until absolutely necessary. My to-do list is longer than I wish, but there are other obstacles in my way. I am enjoying the breeze blowing outside my window, and  I am glad its not raining. I will finish my laundry and make it in to work today... but that is the extent of my goals. 30 weeks into this journey, and hoping for so much to come out of the other end. I don't know what tomaro may bring, but I never expected frillier things. I have put so many things on hold for lack of motivation and desire. I have lost my muse. Today may be a good day to recapture it.

Time is too slow for those who wait
Too swift for those who fear
Too long for those who grieve
Too short for those who rejoice
But, for those who love –
Time is eternity.

cant come to the phone, leave a message

     Guess I'm not the only one who's busy. Or maybe we ran out of interesting things to say. I'm sitting in Starbucks, soaking up their free wifi as I wait for him to get off of work so we can have lunch. We had a rough day yesterday... I know because I made him feel left out. I cant help it since he had me my whole two days off. What was I suppose to do. I had to spend some time with my sister who was leaving for the weekend. He was too tired for any type of activity anyway.
     The night didn't go much smoother... I left to work without a good bye kiss because he was passed out. It wasn't a busy night at work and I was worried that I wouldn't make my quota. Left work early, and headed straight home. Got home to a sleeping husband. Funny, thats just how I left him.Thou I knew he stirred because there was evidence left on the desk. When I finally went to retire, the air was cold and unwelcoming... I took to the empty boys room instead.
     It was a cold and lonely night, but it would have been the same in the other room. So I set my alarm and rolled over. The morning light came before my alarm, and my stomach was solid from this baby laying in my belly all night long. I wont be able to sleep on my stomach much longer.
    I opened the door to my empty room to find he had left his love behind. Most people get post-its left on the computer screen or the bathroom mirror, my lover left huge 8x10s littered around the room. There was even one in the closet. I could feel his arms around me, even thou he wasnt here.
    Leaves me to where I am now... got a text from him asking to do lunch... Here I am waiting for him to tell me where... trying not to fill up on sugar and caffeine.

can you tell whats not on my new years resolution list?? Have a good year! Cheers!

Happy 2011

Tonight as I was signing out of work, I wrote down the date, and thought to myself, thats the last time I will ever truly write 2010.  Funny since Ive only been writing it for the past year. Wow, where has the year gone. So quickly. A year older... a year wiser, not that much lighter. Most of my resolutions for 2010 have been resolved... a few things I could work on. Well, heres looking at a brand new year!
