Hello Middle Age
I NEVER ever thought that I would be driving a minivan much less wanting a minivan. But here I find myself on a hot Saturday night shopping for minivans online. I am pumped. I can't wait to push a button and the doors open for me and/or the trunk so I can load my plethora of children and Wal-Mart groceries inside without a HUGE hassle. Ahhhh. Such is the life of a middle aged mom. WHOOOOO-HOOOOOOO!

Tease
Apparently I am a tease :) Thank you Cathy for bringing my SLACKERNESS to my attention...
Updates this week:
I am gonna stop bitching, or at least try. I have had some SERIOUS meltdowns; on my own, with my children and my husband. I certainly feel bad after my head literally spins around and green vomit shoots out of my mouth along with a stream of either jibberish or curse words. I feel like a terrible mom, wife and person in general. I could blame it on hormones, since I'm knocked up and all, or being the mom of 2 VERY rambunctious boys under the age of 4 AND being knocked up at the same time but truly I just need to tighten up and suck it up. My friend Ana had a great blog post recently about another blog she read that the woman seemed to be super mom and have it all and was patient with her kids and did craft projects, the whole nine but then she discovered that the blog was really kind of a sham. The woman only let you see what she wanted to see. I on the other hand usually put out a bunch of stuff no one wants to see or hear :) But at least it makes me feel better! But really I have it pretty great!
Baby K is nearing his/her arrival. I am seeing the doctor weekly on account of my blood pressure being all over the map. I can certainly tell when I am having an off day. I am truly trying to get as much rest as I can. I will also stop bitching that I am fat or huge. I saw a girl at church this week that looks like she has an extra large beach ball inside her. I am tiny compared to her...I mean she is all belly but holy cow. I am 34 weeks and the docs are hoping that I can hang on until 36. I am hoping that too. I know how each day, at this point, means a little more weight on him/her and hopefully a little less of a chance of a NICU stay.
Greg left me. Only for a weekend though. He went to Atlanta to play in the annual V Brown Scramble Golf Tournament. This year his team did NOT reclaim the championship but I still love him. I'm glad that he got out of the house and enjoyed himself. He definitely deserves it. So since I am supposed to be taking it easy....Andrea came to visit with the girls. It was probably the most wonderful thing that has happened in a long time. It was well over due and really renewed my spirit. I can't believe that my little Madelyn is registered for kindergarten and that Melanie is talking up a storm. I feel like Maddy should just be barely 2! Time sure does fly.
For Greg's birthday weekend everyone came to visit. I kinda gave Greg a hard time b/c it had not been a good week as far as my bp was concerned and I was kinda worried about having everyone in for the weekend. BUT to my surprise my two girlfriends and my sis-in-law ended up throwing me a surprise diaper shower! I finally made it! Not only was the shower a surprise but my mom and sarah were there and Andrea to boot! It was truly fantastic! I was totally blown away--I had no idea. And of course the first thing out of my mouth was..."If I would have known people were gonna be here I would have brushed my teeth!" Classy. We received over 600 diapers. Wow that is a lot of poop!
Had some maternity pics taken by a friend at church. Lauren Manfreda Photography is the name of her business and she is AWESOME! Not sure if they are on her website or not but they are on her business FB page...not sure if you can get there or not but it is worth the post! Here are just a few that she took.
That same day, Sam had an early Mother's Day Breakfast at school so it was a good cover for me actually taking a shower, blow drying my hair and applying make-up. It was also teacher appreciation week so I had a cover for the time MIA without Charlie!
Serious PWT--I totally stripped the kids down to their diapers and let them run through the sprinkler...in the front yard. Couldn't believe how much fun they had...who needs to go to the pool? Wish you could see Charlie's face in this one a little better...it is priceless!
As we speak the kids are running amok in the front yard....off to save myself from CPS.
