It's 4:45am and I am awake. WIDE awake. I am really enjoying the silence, but am dreading how tired I am going to be in a few hours. I have been having the worst trouble sleeping and my new bed eliminates all of the aches and pains that I was having before we got it, but it's not working it's miracle magic like I had hoped. But, I guess I should say that I went to bed SUPER early. I mean, we're talking around 8:30pm. I know, I know...really sad, but I couldn't keep my eyes open any longer since I had gotten up around 5am that morning. I need to somehow keep myself up until at least 9:30 or else I am going to be up before the birds every morning.
Well, in better news, Karys didn't cry before, on the way or when she got to school yesterday. I bribed her. Yep, you read right. I bribed her. It worked like a charm though and her teacher thought that whatever I did was a GREAT idea! Karys was so excited to go with my mom to play Glo Golf so I used that to my advantage. Hey, whatever works, right? Her tears were getting hard to handle and it was making me cry so something had to happen. Too bad yesterday was the last day and now fall break has started. Hopefully two weeks will be enough time for her to get plenty bored and she'll be excited to go back to school. (please keep your fingers crossed for that!)
Well on today's agenda is for Rick to help one of my aunt's move some stuff onto her front yard for a yard sale. We are putting our bed frame in it (Erin-we will no longer have the same bed) so hopefully that will sell so that I can have my nice and cozy garage back. Then we are off to The Country Ham Festival. We try to go every year and since I LOVE fall, I am looking forward to it. I love seeing pumpkins and haystacks and having cooler weather. So exciting for me! Oh and I am having Thanksgiving at my house this year so I have already begun writing down the menu for that. My dad will be driving down so that should be pretty interesting to have him and my mom sitting at the same table. It'll be fine since it ends up being all about the grandchildren anyways.
So I guess I will end this post with Karys' preschool picture that I got yesterday. She looks so grown up and I can't believe that she's almost 4 1/2. Just crazy! Woo hoo for me making it almost 4 1/2 years, too!!
***UPDATE***
It was so incredibly hot outside today and we all suffered at The Ham Festival. We were blasting the AC in the car and it was only 76 degrees out! It was definitely hotter than that.
(at least my craving has gone up on the scale and I have gone from wanting Taco Bell to tacos from an actual mexican restaurant!)
Oh and can I say that I am so sick of being sick?! This is my 9th WEEK of feeling yucky. It's tapering off some, but I still get those urges to throw up and I get HORRIBLE headaches. Me and pregnancy just don't get along. Never have. I pretty much suffer the entire 9 months so this horrible yucky stage will turn into the horrible indigestion stage that will last up until the end. So don't expect a "glowing" picture of me to be posted! :)
That's too bad about the cliques. I haven't noticed any in Mal's class. But this is her second year so most of the kids know each other and it's a small-ish class.
I think Friday will be good. Wednesday Rosie has violin in the morning and then I need to take Henry to the doctor for a follow up to make sure he's gaining weight (not that I need a scale for that- the kid feels like he swallowed a brick!).
When I was prego with Noelani there was a month (I'm not kidding a SOLID month) that all I ate was tacos for every meal. So did Frederic. Shopping was easy. Cooking was easy. And food was great! SO go and eat yourself a taco!!!!
Congrats to you! I don't guess we could make it easy on Narey & Sharon & be in the hospital at the same time, huh? I remember meeting you & Rick at Sharon's when they 1st moved back to TN. I'm craving chips & salsa. I'd love em from Chili's but any will do!
We had pictures done of Karys and Titus today so I wanted to get those on here since I haven't taken pictures with my normal camera in over two months. I can thank morning sickness for that! (plus my memory card is full)
Yeah, with all the free time I have right? :) You're right, though. I really need to do that soon. We haven't had official pictures made in over a year.
So cute, I'll be taking Callie and Gavins soon. Callie's 3 year will be next month and I will take Gavin at 3 months so I'll try and do them together too. I can't imagine what I'll spend!
I've been tagged. Some things that you have been DYING to know about me are coming up! So watch out, because I believe that I have to tag some people when I am done.
Oh and I no longer have body aches thanks to my new bed. I'm just not sleeping...still. It's horrible. I am SO incredibly tired and exhausted that I am still super crabby. Poor Rick. He really thought that this was going to improve my mood in the mornings. I was hoping so, too!
Speaking of Rick, he has ditched me for the weekend to go to the UT/Gator game in Knoxville with Matthew and another friend. He will be back tomorrow, but meanwhile, Stephanie and I are single parents for the next couple of days. Tons of sympathy for me and her are definitely welcome!! (and for those of you who have husbands that travel frequently, well you can simply tell me to "shut up".)
James is working today so I'm a single mom...again...but at least just for the afternoon. And best of all- he's in town all next week!!! (Well, at least home every night)
