Sometimes I thank God for unanswered prayers...

No, I am not singing this Garth Brooks song tonight. Today I am so excited because Jarrod had an interview with a new company. He may be getting a job where he does not drive anymore. He would be a dispatcher for a different courier company, and a boss over 27 people. The job will take 6 months of training just to learn it! He will get paid vacation and insurance, which he has never had with a job. It would be such an awesome opportunity for him and for us. I am so anxious for him to get it, I can hardly stand it. And it isn't even about money. It is about him having a job where he feels needed and probably would not dread going every day. I so want him to be happy with what he "does" and he has been talking for so long about having a job where he just drives to work and parks his truck instead of driving his truck 180-200 miles a day and spending $125 a week on gasoline. He has been wanting a "normal job" and I think has always believed he would not get one until he gets his GED and goes to college or something, although he still hadn't figured out 'what he wanted to do'. He has been in the courier bizness 5 1/2 years now, so he really knows a lot about it and the company he is with now is not moving him up or around in any good ways. I just am so excited and hopeful. I am probably getting my hopes up too much, which is always bad, but I can't stop it now, it is too late. He had his first interview today and they want him to come for two more interviews. The next one is on Tuesday, so I will be praying like crazy until then and appreciate anyone else doing the same.

Thngs 2 Lk Frwrd 2 & Thngs 2 B nrvs about

I am looking forward to seeing my neices all day today, but I am nervous that they will drive me nuts. I am so much moodier the last couple days than I have been lately. That is NOT a good thing. I feel myself getting irritable about the dumbest stuff and I am like ok chill out Caroline there is nothing to be mad about. I am also looking forward to having dinner w/ Jackie tonight. I see her maybe 2-3 times a year and always enjoy our conversations. I am nervous I won't be friends w/ people anymore who dont have kids cuz they will think it is annoying that I have a kid. :( I am looking forward to the baby being born, but I am sad I won't be pregnant anymore. I have over a month to enjoy it and appreciate all the things I will enjoy about having my body to myself again (sort of). I am getting lots of advice lately about the realities of life w/ baby, and life w/ toddler etc. It is keeping me in check I think, because I really have been all ga ga loopy excited about her coming and I know I am gonna get slapped in the face. It will actually be good to have people to say "I told you so".

after all that hoo haw

After all my hooing and hawing about wanting to have a natural birth, I am actually wanting a C Section now.

I will let that sink in to anyone who even cares in case u want to feel disappointed in my taking the easier way out, or if u want to sit back and say I told you so! haha

My decision is based on several things. One is that I already have a scar on my belly from Gold. So why scar anything else? I can also schedule this, which means everyone I want to be there should be and Jarrod can make sure he is off work. I won't have to go through numerous hours of labor and waiting........... and neither will my family. In about 5 minutes I will have a baby in my arms, who is hopefully healthy and has a nice round head. No fears of ruptured uterus, emergency hysterectome (sp?) or cords wrapped around the neck. These sound like good things to me. The only thing that doesn't sound good is being heavily drugged after my baby cakes is born. But I suppose that will mean it is Jarrod's time with the baby, and that is okay. I feel good about this decision.

Have a great FRIDAY!!!!!!!!!!!
Caroline

just to make sure

Today I had a DR appt. and my mom wanted to go w/ me to see if she could talk the doctor into another ultrasound. I thought YA RIGHT. Last time I went, I asked him if I could have another one and he said "not unless something goes wrong". Well all my mom had to do was mention that we wanted one and he said okay. I almost fell off the table! So he did it himself and showed us all the bones and heart and placenta and abdomen. Everything looks find and healthy. And it is a GIRL! :) YIPPEEEEEEEEEE I am so glad that it is still a girl. I know that sounds funny but you never know what they can miss on an ultrasound and my first one was at 21 wks, so it could have just not showed that it was a boy yet. It is a good thing cuz she has a whole closet full of pink pajamas. :) We have about a million PJ's and like 2 regular outfits, haha. Oh well my mom said babies wear pajamas all the time anyway. I am so looking forward to her getting here. I even can't wait to change her diapers.

So, sorry about the legnth of time it has been since I blogged last. I have had things to say but just haven't taken time to type them. My brother came home Friday. My mom went and picked him up in Denton. He seems pretty happy to be home and is looking better so I think he is okay for as okay as he can be. I am still worried about him but it is good to know where he is and I see him almost everyday. I think Anna is happy for him to be home, too.

Mahna's baby shower was on Sunday. It was awesome! I had so much fun having so many friends and family members in the room. I missed the people who couldn't come... like my sister, Kendra and Jarrod's mom and my friends Jackie and Kimmy. The cake was so yummy and the snacks were good. I got so much cute stuff it was unbelievable. A few people went in to buy the stroller/car seat which is SUCH a huge relief. Everything was so cool and it was so great to see some people that I hardly ever see.

Have a good day!!!!!!! Caroline

Finding Franky

Things that are on my mind: my brother. I am worried about him. I dreamt about him and it was not good. No one has heard from him in days and he isn't even trying to come home. I know he is into some stuff that is dangerous, but probably lots of fun. I am sure he is just out there having a good time, doing what he wants to do. I have been there... It is just scary because I worry that he will be the one out of a hundred that falls out. Drugs are one thing, but then there is all the people who hate gays. If he flaunts his drama in front of some angry redneck or whoever, there is a good chance of getting beat up. Hopefully his friends he is with now are people who have his back and are just good suport for him for whatever he needs right now. It is just sad without him around. I know it is bothering my mom and dad. I wouldn't know what to do if I was them. He is 18 now... Who knows. I don't.

dreamz

I had a wacky disturbing dream last night. Not one that I want to re-live by writing it, so I am just teasing you here. I just wanted to share that I had a wacky dream. It was actually this morning after Jarrod's alarm went off. Usually after he leaves at about 6:45 or 7 a.m., I go back to bed til 8, 9 or on really pitiful days 10. Today , no, I am staying up cuz that dream was wacked out.

I feel like I have forgotten to blog something lately but I dunno what it is. hmmmmmm

well anyway Donnie came over last night and brought his friend Brandon who happens to be a computer lover. So he made my lil laptop faster and he also got my macintosh switched back over to modem instead of DSL. I really have such a small knowledge of computers man! Anyway so I am excited b/c although my Mac isn't totally ready to go now, I can at least download pics on it now and hopefully send some to anyone interested. Pics of what? I don't know! haha.

Oh ya also this weekend, Jarrod put up a shelf in the baby closet, did I already say that? And he fixed the dryer, well at least temporarily but it made me temporarily happy, haha. Usually it won't work for 2-3 days and this time it wouldn t do crap for two weeks!

My poor poor Scout (kitty) has to get his shots today and get some medicine. He is not going to like me come the end of this day!

Yesterday Anna helped me clean a house which was oh so joyous. Haha. I am really glad I have her to help me, I know I already said that, but seriously. Yesterday she didn't even want paid, she just wanted me to help her do her chores. I won't say it was EASY (physically) but it saved me some $ and made her chores go by fast, plus my mom got a professionally cleaned bathroom haha. :)

Well I am so looking forward to my shower Sunday. I can't wait to see all of you that come! Let's eat cake! :) MMMMMMMMM

sunny sunday

Well, I did it again, I slept in too late to go to church. I do it every week and get mad at myself every time. I totally enjoy going to church, yet I still don't make it part of my regularly scheduled programs. I keep thinking "maybe when the baby comes....." but how the heck could getting another person up and ready make things easier??? NO CLUE!

Yesterday Jarrod put up a shelf and clothes bar in the baby closet. I am so happy! We went to Home Depot to get the junk and like 1 hour later it was DONE. So that is awesome and I am so proud of him for just getting it done instead of putting the stuff in there for another day.

I also talked to a long lost friend (Sherry) yesterday. She got the shower invite and is coming so that is really cool, and I am glad it got us back in touch again after almost a year. She had some sad news, though. Her ex-boyfriend and her baby's daddy, died in February of an overdose. Her kiddo is about 3 1/2 yrs old I guess. Now he has no dad, not that his dad was much of a dad in the first place. She said the hardest part is that it is "permanent". So sad..... Makes me worry about my brother. Sometimes I think he is one of the careless druggies. I believe there are careless, lifelong druggies and more careful, temporary druggies. I have a wacky perspective on most things in life, but I truly believe this one. I just really hope that I am wrong about Franky.

So today I guess we might go to the horse races. Tonight my parents and Anna get back from Kanasas City and I will get to see some pictures of Gold! YIPPEE> I haven't seen pics of him in almost a year. So that will be cool, and thank God Anna is back cuz I totally need her help cleaning houses and I might have FOUR this week! YIKES.

Have a great day!!!!!!

YIPPEEE

The last couple days I have been sort of bummed out because I found out Kendra and Jarrod's mom can't come to the baby shower. Cindy also told me only a couple people have RSVP'd, so I have just been sad, because I want everyone to be there and I want to tell all of them how much they mean to me. So Nikki, my dear friend from Kansas City since I was like 12 years old called me yesterday and said she is renting a car to drive out here for the shower! So that makes me really happy. It will be fun to have a girl-friend here for a couple days anyway, cuz I never have anyone (of my friends) over here.

Well last night I worked on clearing out the baby room a lot. I still have some more to do and I made a list of everything that I need to do still. I will feel so much better once that room is done. I guess that is part of "nesting" because it is not direly important, but it FEELS important. I just don't have energy lately to work in there more than an hour. And unfortunately I can't finish the sewing projects w/ out my mom (crib bumper, glider cover and curtains) and she is out of town. Sniff sniff.

Well have a good Saturday!!!!!!! Caroline

Laundr-o-mat and baby stories

Yesterday I had the dreaded task of going to the laundrymat, how ever you spell that. There is one real close to my house so it is not that big of a deal to drive there, but I live in a very hispanic neighborhood and area, so the dryers are always taken up and everyone around me is speaking a language I don't know. One thing I always realize when I go, though, is that hispanic people seem to be the happiest people. They usually have 50 kids running around and yet the women are just talking and laughing away while they do 10 loads of laundry, in a super hot room. Yesterday was no different. I got lucky because there was only one other lady there, so I got to split all my stuff between almost all the dryers and it went by pretty fast. She was so nice, though. I bet she was 80 years old or more, and she was trying to speak english to me, which made me feel like crap for not knowing any espaniol. She gave me her cart and I was thinking how some people can be really rude to big huge pregnant ladies and some people who deserve to be pampered (older ppl) try to take care of huge pregnant ladies. Anyway it was sweet of her to give up her cart, cuz it really does kill my back to carry a basket of wet clothes from my car into the laundrymat. I have a dryer at my house, you see. It is just MOODY! I don't know if it is the electrical wiring in this house or my dryer. I really NEED to check into it more, but do I ever? NO, I just go to the laundrymat when it quits working for a week, or in this case, two weeks. Anyway I guess I better do something about it SOON, since I can't let baby clothes go as long as I can let me and Jarrod's clothes go, haha.

oh as for my title, about baby stories, I am such a junkie for shows on baby stories, like when they are born, how the pregnancy goes, etc etc. I am not a TV person, but I do watch about an hour a day now catching up on all the possibilities of what could go wrong, trying to judge how painful it is goign to be to give birth naturally. Trying to decide if I should have an epidural or be brave super woman.

Ok well enough boring you for today, adios for now!

hap_eeeeeeeeee and thankful

I am happy today b/c I went to the doctor and he said everything is going GREAT, and baby has turned head down. That makes me really happy. I am so thankful that everything is going smoothly. My blood pressure is great, no excessive swelling (just chubbiness haha) and the baby is active and her heart rate is speeding along. I know there is a chance she could turn back around but I am happy knowing she is head down for now.

Well I was supposed to clean a house today but she doesn't want me to come until NEXT monday, darnet. Oh well. It's just money. And Evelyn isn't back in town, either, so it looks like I am off work til Friday. Next week cleaning will probably pick back up. Lucky for me Anna is willing to help me! We can rock through a house, I tell ya!

This past wknd we had so much fun. We went to Galveston, which Anna had not been there before, and the weather was awesome. It felt SO good floating around in the ocean! She learned to boogie board. We stayed at the Flagship hotel which is built right over the water. The view was AWESOME but the hotel was raunchy. I didn't care, I was there for a good shower and the ocean! :)

Thanks for reading! LOVE YA!

the point IS

The point of this journal IS that I type little bits o' my life so if I forget to tell ppl certain things they can just read them on my journal. That way I don't have to tell 10 ppl the same thing in 10 separate emails. It is a time saver, okay! :)

So la de da today I drove my dadeo to the airport and then I got to borrow his convertable, which I had the top down of course. It is such a smoooooth riding car and the weather was so awesome this morning it felt great! Then I went and cleaned a house which was very tiring. I am glad I didn't work out this morning, too, or I would REALLY be sore right now. Tonight I am picking up Anna again, so I will have her to help me clean tomorrow. YEA! Last night I babysat my neices (sp?), Casey's kids who live w/ Jarrod's parents. We watched some cartoons w/ Jarrod for a little bit and played Crazy 8's then we went and got snowcones at my favorite snowcone stand in the Kroger parking lot. Tina (5 yr old) talking the snowcone guy's head off the whole 30 min we were there. It was cute that he was actually listening to her and he is so nice. It is obvious he likes snowcone bizness cuz of the kids. Then we wanted to kill some more time before coming back home cuz Jarrod was watching BASEBALL and my house is not so fun for kids, so we went to Kroger and looked at all the grocery toys and the hula hoops and bounced basketballs. We only spent $1 there and that was on the little merry go round ride things out front. I can't believe grocery stores still have those things! haha. So that killed another 40 minutes then we went back to my house for coloring picture time and they decided they wanted to take showers at MY House cuz I have good smelling soap. That made me feel good and I figured I was helping out Jarrod's mom by washing their hair and all that junk. There is no vent in our bathroom tho, so it was SO hot in there by the time we were done. Jarrod told me I was doing a good job practicing being a mommy. Hmmmm, am I ready for this, REALLY???

Well that is all for now. Tonight I get Anna, tomorrow I clean and hopefully go swimming at Cindy's, Saturday, pool party or the horse races, and Sunday and Monday we will be in Galveston! WOO HOO! Thanks for reading my blog, leave a note saying HI!

CAROLINE

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.
