Busy times...

These are some of the busy times and lazy times at the same time! How does that happen? I have been doing a lot of housework and extra-curricular activities in the evenings, but have also found myself sitting down for a hour nap in the mid-afternoon! I guess its ok as long as I get my work done. Things are going well, I have spring cleaned approx. half of my house, but the two rooms and a closet that I have left are going to be the worst! The kitchen, our bedroom and the hall closet...not looking forward to those. It will be nice to have it done though. I had decided to get all the rooms of my house spring cleaned and then paint the baby room that way after it is done I can feel like my work has been done and settle down to just shopping and other misc things to do around here. I got the paint the other day for the room though. I am pretty excited about that! I can't wait to paint it, so that is good motivation to get the rest of the house cleaned! I think I did about 6 loads of laundry today! I have been majorly behind on that, but as soon as the dryer gets done and put away I am done! Hooray!

I am sitting here looking outside and I see green splotches of grass! I am so thankful that spring is almost here...tomorrow morning actually, but the weather is nice too! It will make it seem like July is getting closer! I cannot wait to be done being pregnant. I will be very thankful when july gets here. I am not excited however that every time I go get another ultrasound, the date keeps getting pushed back! By my last period the due date should be July 12. The first ultrasound showed the 18th, the next one showed the 22nd and the one we just had on Monday now says the 28th. What is going on???? I am beginning to think I am becoming an elephant where they are pregnant for like 20 months at a time! Those poor abimals, and it is so hot where they live too, that would have to be the worst! Caleb and I have come to an agreement though, this child is going to be potty-trained before we have another one, or at least time it to where by the time the second child is born the first is no longer in diapers.

Well everyone, have a great weekend! I am off to a Bible study! Enjoy the sunshine!

So, I am struggling with an attitude issue. Jeremy is still living with us and his plans have changed so instead of being gone at the end of April, there is no "projected" leave date anywhere in the foreseeable future. Is this a bad thing? I don't know. I don't know if my hormones are messing with me, or I am just tired of cleaning up after 2 boys instead of one. I don't know if I am ready to have the house to myself again while Caleb is working instead of Jeremy always being here. He initially went down to part-time to work on school, however, he must have spring fever because he hasn't done hardly any school since we got back from Arizona. I guess out of all of this I am just venting. I love Jeremy (as a brother of course) to pieces and really don't mind him being here, but I know life is going to change drastically again in July when we have our baby. Any advice on how to deal with something like this?

Spring Fever!

Yes, like most other people I have officially caught spring fever! I took a wonderful walk this afternoon in a light jacket and was very comfortable. Although I think I am slightly out of shape because after the first mile of my usual two-mile walk, I was huffing and puffing! I go one mile out that way I have to walk the one-mile back to my house, but I think I may have to gradually work up to that again! I just love taking walks though, and I think Bo really enjoys it too! He is still outside playing in the front yard and chewing on the sticks that have yet to get picked up. I went out to start on it today and found out that it is still a little bit muddy where all the sticks are! So, I think that will have to wait for another day.

Lets see, what else is going on???
-my sister and her family is coming up from TN for the weekend. It will be great to see them! I haven't seen them since...Thanksgiving. Wow, that was a long time ago!
-We have an OB appt on Monday. I am pretty excited about that! The clock is ticking down (ever so slowly, but it is still moving!) We are a little over 20 weeks now. Hopefully we will start discussing when they are going to induce and maybe get a tentative date set!
-I have decided on colors for the baby room. Michelle said that she would help me paint it too. I am very excited. I didn't get to paint the room last time, but Caleb told me I could if it was warm out and I was able to open the windows and use the fan. It is going to looks so cute I can't wait! I will post pictures when it is finished, but it will be a couple of weeks.

I think that is about all that is going on right now. Other than the fact that I have found some areas in my life that have needed desperate "awakening" and I am now working on them. I have realized that my "desire" to go to church was gone. But more than that, my "desire" to study the Bible on my own was gone too. I did some much needed soul searching and praying and have found that "desire" again. It is no longer a chore to have to go to church or to study the Bible. I want to know more about my God and be able to share with others the complete joy that I have.

Well, I am off for now. I think I may run in to the library...or maybe I will go tomorrow. I haven't decided yet. :) Have a super day today...try to enjoy the weather outside!
