Tooooooooooooooooosday

Howdy readers. Today is a rainy rainy day..... I feel bad for people who have pools and time off work. But ya know, then again it can be fun to have time at home doing housework or watching movies or cooking, eating, writing... reading. Yesterday I went and got Anna and we rented Candyman and 50 First Dates. Both are very good movies. Candyman was made in 1992, but it is still super scary and I do not think it is corny. I saw it when I was about 13 or 14 for the first time and it scared the jeepers outta me so I showed it to Anna who claims to not get scared at any movie. U will have to ask her yourself what she thought! :) So we are just hanging out watching movies and we wrote a couple letters to people, took showers and did a couple dishes. Oh and we had some yummy orange cinnamon rolls for breakfast.

My parents are on vacation in Colorado and having a fun time so far w/ their friends and riding motorcycles. I hope they will relax this week and not worry about stuff too much for once. Everyone needs a break here and there. Watching 50 First dates makes me want to go to Cancun again. I think I would enjoy it MORE this time. I mean I want to wait til after the baby is born of course, but I just think I would enjoy it more than I did two years ago. REASON is that we went w/ some friends a couple years ago and I was pretty insecure and jealous of a girl who was w/ us and it sort of messed up the trip. I think Jarrod and I are more secure in our relationship now and that I am not so afraid that he is goign to turn into cheating Jeremy all of a sudden. Caroline's deep fears, revealed! haha Anyway that is all for now talk to u soon. Leave a comment saying HI, unlike Stephy I am not secure enuf to say I don't need them! :)

happy pancake day

Today Jarrod and I get to go have pancakes at his mama's house. MMMM MMMM MMM. I have been craving pancakes for about two weeks now. Last wknd we attempted to make waffles in our wedding gift waffle iron, which we found out doesn't work. We only used it one other time but I guess it was defective or got messed up in the 2-3 times it has been packed and moved.

Yesterday Jarrod went to visit his brother Casey, in jail, in Tennessee Colony Texas. That is about 2.5 hrs away from Lewisville. By the way, anyone who didn't know, and cares, we found out his brother is getting out of jail in April. We have been living in his house while he was incarcerated, so that he didn't lose the one possession that he has while locked up. It has been fun, and still is, but we want our own house now. Fancy that!

While Jarrod was visiting Casey, I went and updated our registry at Target and Babies R Us. It was pouring rain all day, which made things a little more complicated, but it was ok. I had to update our registry cuz the official baby shower announcements have been sent out! I am so excited about the shower. Baby showers always have the best CAKE! :) ANyway I can't believe that registering was actually painful. After walking through two stores my hips and back hurt so bad, I came home and laid down.

When I was laying down, I watched part of Bruce ALMIGHTY. Seen it? That was a good movie. That is where I got the idea for middle name "Grace" for our lil baby. We haven't totally decided on that yet, but I heard that name and I thought of what Grace "is" and how much of it I have recieved...... And Mahna is part of that grace I have received. I am so lucky to be allowed to have another baby, this time w/ a guy I love so much and never want to be apart from. Everytime I go to the DR. he tells me I am such a LUCKY GIRL (his words) and I know he means cuz I am healthy and things are going well, but I know why I am really lucky.
XOXO HAVE A GOOD DAY! CAROLINE

beautisomous

Oh I love the new look of my blog so much, do you? I owe a huge thanks to my friend Cynthia from CMOORE web designs who did such an awesome job and is so fast and accurate! U ROCK!!!!!!! So I hope anyone out there who has a business which needs a website or just wants their blog to look cooler will check out my side bar to see how to get hooked up with her. I think it looks so pretty and it is all of what I would have done if I had the knowledge of web design! Thank you thank you thank you!

Well to anyone whose been reading. I got my results from the diabetes test and they were NORMAL!!!!!!! YEA! I am so glad! I had been watching all this stuff on discovery channel about things that can happen to your baby if you get that. Ugh, that channel is wonderful and horrid all at once!

Today was a good day, I cleaned a house, then got to visit w/ a friend for a while, said goodby to my parents who are leaving town for a bit and wrote a lil note for Kendra's graduation announcements. Now I need to vacuum and do some dishes at my own house. FUN!

Hope u all have a fun Friday!!! XOXO

sleepy again

Yep sleep should be out of my vocabulary from now on i guess. I wake up all night uncomfy and according to my friend it is my body getting me ready to get up every couple hours w/ my babycakes. Well this morning I am up early cuz I have to go take the 3 hr glucose diabetes test since I failed the 1 hr one last week. I have been waking up with puffy eyes every day, hopefully just from not sleeping well, but it freaks me out a little cuz that was the sure sign of toxemia last time.

Anyway last night we found a picture of Jarrod's best friend Jonathon who killed himself in 1998 on the internet. Jarrod never had a picture of him so that was really cool to find it. We found it on the denton county website cuz he had been arrested, so it is a mugshot but jarrod was still happy to get a picture. I would be really sad if i had lost a friend and never got a picture of them...

I also had a dream about my friend Nica last night. Well I don't know if we are friends anymore but once upon a time we were when we workedd
together at Vertis. Anyway her husband died a few months ago and I have never got to talk to her since it happened. So i had a dream I talked to her last night. It was really real feeling. I also dreamed that I saw someone else I knew who was pregnant and she was the same size as me but she was about to have her baby any day. So that was my insecurity of being a huge blob coming out. Haha.

Well have a great day, thanks for reading!!!!!!!!

anniversary

Yesterday was Jarrod and my 4th anniversary. Our anniversary so far has always been a "major" event of the year. We have always planned our vacation around it and made it a special time. This year we couldn't really go on a trip. I can't be in the car very long, we didn't have much money saved, etc etc. Mostly the reason is that I am pregnant. So anyway this year we hadn't even really talked about what we were going to do. I even thought the day before, that he was going to forget it altogether. Well he didn't. He told me first thing in the morning "happy anniversary" and we planned to cook dinner together when he got home. We very very rarely cook dinner, it is usually something quick or takeout. So anyway he grilled some really good steaks and put cheese on them like they do at Old San Francisco Steak house and he grilled corn, set the table, etc etc. He got me a really sweet card that just had a couple lines written on it but they mean so much to me. It was just a really great night. It took us about 3 hours to finish dinner, but we were having a good time the whole time. I told him it was probably the best anniversary yet. It is not about how much money you spend or where you can say you went, it is about showing the other person this day matters to you.

Today...... I cleaned a house and was wincing from the pain in my back about half the time I was there, and fantasizing about taking a leave of absense from housecleaning. I do this all the time. Plan a date for quitting temporarily. Then I think about the MONEY and what will I do if I am not cleaning a few times a week...... And can't I just push myself a little further... I know, some of u might be thinking I am doing something bad but maybe some of you also understand. I say some, like there are a million ppl who read this or something haha.

I also went to the DR today for my glucose test which took an hour. I don't know the results for 3 days. I am not too worried about it since I didn't have diabetes w/ Gold, but even if I do have it it will be GOOD if I can't eat sugar, then I won't gain so much weight haha.

OK well enuf of all that. ta ta for now

SLLLLLLLLLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP

Lately, I just want to SLEEP. It seems like the only time I am comfortable is when I sleep. I wonder what I will be saying in 2-3 months when I am really about to bust! Today I have 1 very messy house to clean and a 1/4 of a house to finish cleaning. I also have to pick my brother up at a bus stop in Lewisville. He went to Kansas City last week to pick up his graduation present.... a nasty old trashy subaru, and on the way out of town the hood flew up and busted the windshield to pieces. Besides that little detour the car was a piece of junk anyway so my dad decided to just bring him home instead of waiting to fix it or something like that. I wonder if he had a fun adventure on a bus trip from Kansas City. It is normally about an 8 hr drive, so I am guessing it was like 12 on a bus? When I was 18 I would have thought that was pretty fun. Who knows w/ Franky tho cuz he is kind of snobby about being dirty and around certain people. We shall see!

Yesterday ended up being a great day. Anna, Jarrod, mom, dad, G-ma and Tom all came swimming at Cindy's house w/ me. We grilled food and all just had a good time in the sun. Then one of Jarrod's friends had to stay the night last night. He is not one of my favorite people, but I was nice to him anyway. Jarrod and I agreed that he should only stay one night b/c of the circumstances etc, but now I am thinking well we could help him out a little more..... let him stay longer, give him a ride to work tomorrow.. i dunno. i don't know what is the right thing to do. Well anyway I better get going I am running late already.
ADIOS!!!!!!! HAPPY MONDAY!

tit for tat

haha i just titled this that, cuz what the heck does that mean!!! haha. well it has been a week since my last confession... i mean blog, but for the lack of comments I fear I have lost all my readers anyway. :( So lately i have been feeling pretty sick. Nauseous stuff and heat flashes. I am PREGNANT here not going thru menopause! It seems funny to me at 27 weeks I would start getting morning sickness, but I do feel nauseous pretty much every morning. My back hurts a lot more, maybe cuz I have gained so much weight already. I continue to work out and clean houses, though, because I know it must be GOOD for me to keep moving and not be on the couch the next three months. It is very tempting though. Yesterday I had a bad luck day. My friend's pool is messed up because of ME turning off a lever I thought was no big deal. She is in Europe and left me in charge of her house. Warning: Don't leave me in charge of your house. Then a lawn person almost ran over me in his truck yesterday. That just made me FURIOUS cuz I am a mood swing waiting to happen and well I had the right of way!!! Then my back hurt too bad to clean my OWN house after cleaning someone else's so I laid down on the couch and didn't wake up for almost two
hours which made me mad at myself b/c I hate giving Jarrod a dirty house for the weekend when he comes home from work. Then the dryer quit working AGAIN, I broke our light fixture over the sink. Taco Bueno screwed up Jarrods part of our dinner order so I had to drive BACK there. My car overheated on the way back to Taco Bueno and I had to be rescued. Hope fully it is nothing big, but we'll SEE. Oh and for the final thing I broke off a lightbulb in our ceiling fan.

Other than that...... well today HAS to be a better day right.

tiz a groovacious day

Yea, I am not really doing the deep meaningful blogs lately eh? (or was i ever?) well weds I cleaned for Evelyn. She slept most of the time I was there. She sleeps a lot lately. Other than that she always seems so alert and happy. I never really think of her as old until I get annoyed w/ going over there and then stop and think how this is a limited time offer I have going with this awesome lady. I've got the fear of death in me (while I am pregnant of all things). Today I spent a few hours at my grandma and Tom's house. I really think of Tom as my grandpa. I have known him a little over five years I guess, but I seem to know him more than I knew my real grandpa who died when I was 16. Anyway he has cancer and it is just getting worse. Monday he is having surgery again. The doctor said the surgery would improve the quality of the rest of the life he has left. That is depressing talk. It especially makes me sad to hear my grandma talk about "when Tom is not here anymore". They are so in love. They have all these common interests, like crocheting and sitting on the porch during nice weather. My graN-e poo never seems to feel pressured to be a better wifey etc etc. It is just cute. NEWAY it was cool to be around them, but it makes me so sad to think he won't live that long. So I guess this is a plea for prayer. A lot of ppl probably don't even know him, but what if all the blogger readers pray for him, won't he have a better chance for a miracle of overcoming cancer??? Ugh. On a happy note, we had Don Pablos fajitas w/ my parents tonight...mmmmmmm! That was fun. I felt lucky and happy to see my grandparents and parents in one day. Now I am off to watch Friday night TV w/ my huz. Happy Friday everybody!!!

oooooooh BAAAAAAAAby

wow, that must have been my longest slack off of the blog yet! thanks to anyone who cares to still check my blog! i really do like this blog thing, but I don't take the time to do it lately. Must be pregnant moodiness! haha. so hello out there. there is a good storm going on outside right now. Lotsa lightning and rain. The rain smells GOOD. Jarrod and I sat outside for a while tonight watching the storm. he watches every single one, when he is home. I have trouble sitting still, so it makes me glad to be w/ him.... he makes me do things I wouldn't by myself. Today I cleaned the house in Highland Village. Ugh. It is so hard, wears me out bigtime. I came home and soaked in the bath. To any other pregos out there that really does help w/ back pain. Trust me I know about the back pain. Well I was happy to find out one of my friends is pregnant. She will be about 4 mo. behind me, so that will be pretty cool. I am also housesitting right now for some ppl w/ a pool. That is awesome. Their backyard is like a resort! They also have five adorable cats. Hmmmmmm what else. I dunno for now, maybe more tomorrow.
