Bleeding Hearts

I hate how the Americans seem to make everything into some bleeding heart thing. I realize that they don't have the medical coverage we do but why do they seem to go out of their way to bleed all over everyone about it?

*sigh* I'm just feeling very bitchy today and after reading a thread on one of my quilting forums I just want to grr.....

So, baby is down for a nap, husband is still out too and it's just too quiet here. Instead of napping I decided to do this instead.

The fury of not winning on EBAY!

I hate not winning and it's happened twice in the past twenty-four hours! Sigh

It just means I get to spend more time on there, an obsession not good for me.

So...Other then that, Sprout has started putting his mega blocks, "TOGETHER"! Woohoo! So Proud. I have no idea if I've already posted about this or not, but I am just too proud!

House is looking like a disaster but it's in a good cause. Trying to get most of the crap taken care of in the hiding spots. Make more space for storage and finish the basement. It's getting closer to being done....rob has done two outlets! Woohoo!

If you knock, and I don't answer, I"M NOT HOME!

So my MIL was here this morning. Woke both me and the baby up.

She knocked but there wasn't an answer.....go figure. So she decided to ring the doorbell???? Like hello?


Woke the baby up....woke me up. Grrr! Now I'm tired and grumpy and still not dressed. Been a slow day.

Going to spend some time in the basement today...hopefully getting most of it done. Started calling people for the Sprout's B-day. It should be fun. I'll pick up some decorations and a few loot games.

Maybe we'll play some games too.

Placenta Brains Again!

*sigh*

I had a great topic to write about today, I was thinking about it last night...and guess what.

I CAN"T REMEMBER IT! *sigh*

So much for being all profound and politically controversial today. Maybe I'll remember later and this time I'll write it down.

Not much else happening today. In-laws are coming for dinner. Trying to get crap done for that. Dessert is calling my name....no idea what to make. *sigh* Lots of sighs today.

Hopefully the good-bye to Morning sickness

As of this morning I am 13 weeks pregnant.....so I am praying this also means....NO MORE MORNING SICKNESS!

I didn't take any diclectin today and so far, so good! No gagging, no throwing up, nothing. I'm hoping this means that I can look forward to a nice second trimester.

Sprout spent the night at his grandparents last night.....I slept like the dead. It was nice.

I also got more of Derek's quilt done. Which was also nice. *sigh* Now, just to finish it.

January Blahs!

I think I have the January Blahs!

It's so cold out right now that I can't go for a walk. Orin seems to have cabin fever too which makes it worse and our ever changing schedule doesn't seem to allow for sleep at the same time every day.

*sigh* It's almost over, then I just have to get through February and March.

I found a pair of maternity pants that I can wear today. I seem to be huge but it's just the cyst taking up extra room. I wonder if they can do a tummy tuck when they go in to get it. Wouldn't that be nice?

Nothing else new....still trying to stick to my new year's resolutions. Having a hard time but getting there. I think the blahs aren't helping. I've started planning my garden too. That's getting me excited.....green things when everything is covered in snow!

Update on My New Year's Resolutions

Ok...so it's been 15 days. How am I doing? Well, not bad. I wouldn't say great, but I don't think I'm failing either.

My day planner is getting looked at daily. I am spending less time on the computer. I am not blogging as often as I would like though. I am trying to get at least something in.

As for the quilting...well DH needs to get the basement wired before I can do anything.

The house is looking better. Not that you can tell today. I need to detail the kitchen.

So I'd give myself a 6 out of ten on the ten resolutions.

BTW.....Baby got his fifth tooth yesterday.

The Joys Of Message Boards

Just like real life....there seems to be something so innate about trouble makers.....even on Message boards!

You'd think we could all get along but instead nope...someone has to be there to ruin it for everyone else. I'm so tired of the bullshit and yet, there is just something so taking about it I have to keep going back.

Sigh

We are having trouble with baby names for a Boy....so if anyone has any ideas....send them along please. Hopefully it is a girl. Then we're set!

Oh The Fun Of Morning Sickness

My morning sickness has been quite bad.....

It's been all day morning sickness. I'm really tired and trying to keep up with everything is starting to get me a bit down.

Had a little nap this morning. That's because I am having trouble sleeping. Can't seem to turn off the motors running in my head. I wish I could. Maybe I need some more exercise. I need something anyway. Anything to get me through this crap!

Don't They Know It's Too Late???

I was watching a commercial on t.v. - you know the new ones about global warming? I said something to rob about this being a year for a lot of that. He said....."I wish they'd stop showing that shit. Don't they know it's too late?"

That almost killed me. Talk about pessimism! LOL

Other then that....a very boring day. Had dinner at the in-laws. Home by eight to put the sprout down and now I'm posting on here before heading to bed.

I did accomplish some things though.....so not a really bad day. I've been doing well with the resolutions. Kind of proud of myself.

The Experiment

So I am doing a little experiment.

My mother has been going on and on lately about people not calling her. About how she calls them but they don't call her.

I usually call everyone. Most people don't call because of that reason.

So, my experiment is this. For an undetermined period I am not going to call anyone. I will then see how many people call me.

We'll see who does and doesn't call.

hmmm.......I will also hypothesis(sp) who will and won't. I will write that as a separate post and save it. Then I will post it after the experiment is over.

A Little Harder Then I Thought!

So the last couple days has been a little harder then I thought. Dealing with all day morning sickness doesn't help of course. I just also seem to have little drive. *sigh* I have to admit...the house is looking better and that I am spending less time on the computer. I just don't seem to be meeting all the goals required.

I'm not going to be too harsh on myself quite yet.....I mean this will take a few weeks to fully get going.

The Sprout is so adorable. I can't believe he's now eleven months old. I started a B-day guest list today. Just a few friends and family this time. Next time when he's old enough, I'll invite the entire family.

Other then that....My stepfather went for major surgery today. So keep him in your thoughts. I'll find out later how it went.

My mother has taken over all details of my brother's wedding shower. Thank the Gods. I am just not up for handling that and her. I love her...just too much like her.

So back to my scheduled tasks.

So Here THey are Folks! My Resolutions!

After much thought and consideration, I have finally come up with a list. Nothing that I can't handle. But a major list all the same. They aren't in any special order.

1. Stick to my routines and follow my already set-up cleaning schedule
2. I will do menus and stick to my grocery budget
3. I will spend 15 minutes a day blogging.
4. I will check my day-planner every night
5. I will schedule bi-weekly down time with my husband
6. I will bake once a week
7. I will spend less time playing on the computer and will remove Laptop from Living room
8. I will spend more time quilting
9. Instead of yelling when mad, I will emphasis every word instead
10. I will re-read these once a week in order to maintain these

So that's it. I know it's a lot but if you think about it....I should be doing them anyway. I hope this will help keep my life organized.

So what do you think of this?

Resolutions....Harder Then I Thought

So my husband is a jerk!

Apparently hasn't read a single blog of mine. Tells me he really has no interest.

Well Thanks Dear!

I asked him his opinion on the resolutions and he said he didn't believe in them and thought they were stupid. End of conversation. Well I guess I really can't answer to that then. I really want to do this, I really want to stick to them.

*sigh*

The sprout is currently emptying the bottom drawer....the drawer that has been deemed his. He carries the towels and dish clothes all over the room, just for me to pick them up. Now that he's walking, I find it crazy because they turn up in the strangest of places! That and I never seem to have one when I need one! LOL

Getting Ready for the New Year

Now that the Christmas season has passed and New Year's is almost here, I find myself wanting to make some resolutions. I have never been big on the whole resolution thing....mostly because no one ever tends to follow it. I mean, half the time, the goals are so lofty that it's even too ridiculous to contemplate.

So I have to think very hard on this and then I will let you know what they are.

You can then help me keep them! LOL

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!! HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!

Romance Writing

I've always wanted to write a romance novel.....I think I'd be good at it. There's this on-line course that teaches that kind of thing but I would need to win the Super 7 tonight in order to take it. Then again, if I won that then I would be on a ship someone with my own cook and masseuse and assistant. A nanny?

I'd lay in the sun and just pretend I had no worries.....OH WAIT! I WOULDN"T! LOL

Oh the dreaming I do about the things I could do. Sigh.

oh well.....in some other life then.

The Headache From Hell With A Baby

So this headache is killing me and to top it off, my little one has decided to band everything he can find against everything else that's in his path! *Sigh, whimper, whimper*

It's the first headache I've had in a while, at least a year and it's worse then any other I can recall. My husband was real helpful, "take some drugs and get something to eat, you'll be fine." Ok Jackass.....why aren't I fine now? If anything it's getting worse!

The Sprout has learned to push big things against what he wants to climb and climb it. He's after the Christmas decorations....well those have now been put away. It's amazing how clever he can be. Righ now....he's sitting in the drawer. *sigh* Have to take a pic of this...brb.

My Need To Be Discreet Is At An End!

For the last little while I haven't been posting....why is that? Because soooo many things have been going on and I am so scared I will write something on here that will offend someone. Well, those days are now at an end!

I am going to write what I want....when I want because this is my blog. If they don't like it....SUCK IT UP!

I am tired of being everyone's dumping ground and I'm tired of people not listening to me.

I was insulted at my own table the other night. Let me tell you, to be attacked like that because of that person's own insecurities was my last straw.

So here is my message to that person......WE ARE NOT STAYING IN THE SAME BLOODY TOWN AS YOU! SUCK IT UP! and the next time that you decide to insult me at my own dinner table.....remember......I can be 10 times as worse as you.

By the way.....I am not unhappy with everything...just with what you have chosen. SUCK THAT UP TOO!

I am willing to change it though...and I will eventually forgive your insecurities. Until then, I'm
keeping my distance and praying for the day I sell this house and leave to never come back.

So I Had A Sucky Birthday

So I had the suckiest birthday ever. The entire week just sucked.

Barely anyone remembered and I felt a little hurt. Rob even forgot.

Rob and I went for dinner yesterday...and a west coast swing lesson. It was great. Went shopping...costco shopping....so nothing really special bought. Then got home....got a little lucky. Well maybe a lot lucky. Then I slept an hour before waking up with an earache.

You betcha....I got an ear infection. It's brutal. So I went to the ER... best visit ever...was only there 15 minutes....didn't even have a chance to sit down before I saw the nurse...the nurse had barely left and in comes the doctor. Treatment given...was home in twenty minutes...and that's with driving time.

The Sprout is also still sick....we missed our swim lesson today. I just couldn't get out of bed for it on the little amount of sleep I had. I promise to make it up to him. Maybe wednesday.

I'm so tired...so I guess I'm heading to bed.
