I'm not FAT, I'm PREGNANT.

I’m heading out to the coast tomorrow for a gig. A quilting conference - seriously. They’re goona go APE for us:) But they want us to wear kilts - and silly me, haven’t found a maternity kilt yet. If I pin mine and wear a long top, I think it’ll pass as a fit, but it’s not an attractive look. In fact, this is the closest thing to “maternity kilt” I...

3 month moment

When I was in high school, one of my dearest friends was killed in a car accident. A few of us convereged on one friend’s house for a few days to cry, eat, and repeat. At one point we were all contemplating what had happened and started making leaps of reasoning such as “My shirt is blue and now I’m blue - maybe I KNEW this was going to happen today and I subconsciously put on...

Have you ever...

loved someone so much it hurt? Being a mom drives me crazy most of the time. But those little arms wrapping around my neck, and her high voice squealing “I love you SO SO much!!” - it’s just so wonderful, it actually HURTS sometimes. And those smiley kisses, smack on my lips, with this content look in her eyes that say “I made you happy!!” Ouch :)

So you know those Random 25 Things About Me lists that everyone and their puppy is tagging each other with on Facebook? I am too lazy do do one on my own, but SexyHusband’s was amusing enough, so I figured I’d steal it and add my own comments as necessary. Just to keep the record straight. 1. I don’t ever check my voicemail at work. There could be a million out there for me, but I...

Dear World,

Please stop sending me thank you cards. The gifts I give at showers are just awful, and they do not deserve a card. Plus, writing my own thank you cards is such a mind numbing and painful experience for me that it actually gives me hives. Please, please don’t feel the need to thank me. If I actually give a decent present, I insist on hugs and tears in the corners of the receiver’s...

lowest common denominators

Okay, to cleanse the blog-pallete I was all ready to blog today about my latest two guilty pleasure songs. I mean, I have to pretend I’m all classy with this graduate degree in music and I only listen to Stravinsky and experimental Javan gamelan music (don’t laugh, I acually played in one in grad school!). I do listen to the regla’r old radio - now, more than ever, to try and...

It makes me feel rotten for feeling rotten. here is a short list of the first few things I can think of that make me feel rotten today. I am a rotten mom. - No really, I am. I couldn’t manage to get WT to take a nap...

and she (yes, I think it’s a she) was DANCING!!! Wiggling, gleefully dancing right there in my tummy. It’s so easy for me to forget there is a SOMEONE in there, but she said hello to me today and let me know she’s here to stay. WOWEE!!!!

Sooo.... the pregnant thing....

I can’t move without the danger of losing my lunch. Why not blog?! I’m not going to complain - I know it’s a blessing and I could be feeling a heck of a lot worse, like SexyHusband- his migraines are now at deathcom 64. We all know how I handled parenthood last time and my feelings at attempting it twice have been…. mixed. I’ve been praying - hard - for months -...
