fish don’t have eyelids

My OB is talking ‘induction’ next week if something doesn’t happen soon.  I see this as the nail in the coffin on my VBAC dreams so please NB just freaking come.  The 3 hours of sleep a night is not helping my clarity or disposition and I am getting pretty stressed out.
I wonder why fish [...]

and so..

No baby. The handyman took T and the dogs to the dog park this morning and came home saying the concrete patio where a couple of picnic tables sit that was an Eagle Scout project is 100 times nicer than our mess out back. So, looks like we are going to court over [...]

first goes the mind

OK, seriously it must be the heat, being 38+ weeks pregnant, T waking up from 3-4 am last night and then getting up at 5:25 for the day, or a combination of all of the above messing with my head but I was just cruising around and thought to myself when I saw this photo [...]

the home stretch

My due date is August 1st–like in two weeks August 1st–and honestly I still don’t think I have accepted the fact that there is about to be another baby in the house.  I am feeling really great physically and T and I have settled into quite a nice little routine where we have actual toddler [...]

can’t win for losing it seems

I made myself go to bed early last night as the handyman had to leave for Nashville at 5:30 am for an interview for upping his state certification (gotta love the government). But somewhere around midnight NB must have shifted and I started having all these pelvic pains and couldn’t get comfortable for the [...]

turtles make me happy

My friend Meghan came over yesterday with an LCD projector and we knocked out this turtle for T’s room in about an hour and a half.  I am so excited that now I want to paint animals all over the house.  This put me in a much better mood considering the ongoing yard/new patio saga (I don’t [...]

on beheading cats

Yesterday on the drive home from Norris I was thinking about all the changes in my life and how I was probably going to officially resign my teaching position with the public schools in December and trying to resolve how I feel about this. The thing is that I understand to lots of people being [...]

and so…

I’m not going to NY. Right now I’m sitting in the truck while the T snoozes. We went up to Norris watershed and did a little bit of hiking as the dogs were going nuts being inside while we have contractors putting down a new patio. Nothing more suburban than that! [...]

decisions, decisions

The handyman’s brother is getting married this Sunday in the Catskill Mtns (NY).  The place they chose is ‘rustic’ and looks really cool but with my due date at August 1st we had decided that just the handyman would go since it was too hard to predict when airfares were reasonable if I would feel [...]
