GRRR....

Just posted a big update. Now, it's gone!

Where, oh where, has the time gone??

Could it possibly been *gasp* 3 months? Oh yes...it has. Well, I'm pleased that about 6-7 weeks ago (shortly after Memorial Day weekend) the nausea took a hike. And, I'm dang glad it did. We're all much happier now.

The boys and I are on SUMMER VACATION and it's bliss. We're hanging out, swimming, reading, watching TV and playing. It's been fantastic. They are turning out to be active and fantastic swimmers. It's really been such a good thing.

We spent the afternoon with good friends having a birthday lunch for Staci and it was divine. Cam and Sawyer had great fun with Olin and Garrett and it was just so nice to sit quietly and calmly with good friends.

Now, off to warm the once a month cooking dinner that I made, hope the boys will make it to the pool and pray my curtain rod gets hung. All in 2 hours. I won't hold my breath...

Sick, but it's okay!

Well, it's about time I blog about being PG, right?? I'm 11 weeks and oh so close to being 12 weeks. The cat has been out of the bag for a couple of weeks now and maybe the nausea is on the way out? RIGHT!

One can hope that is the case, since it's been plaguing me for the past 5 weeks with a serious vengence. I got a prescription for phenergan a couple of weeks ago and have managed to not take it -- but there are seriously days where I still could. Other than that and the exhaustion -- just those 2 little things, right - I'm okay. We're trying to imagine life with *3* but it'll be good, and the boys have adjusted to the idea. Sawyer plays with names and such -- and it's so very cute.

He's been quite adorable anyway -- he's been saying "You're so funny!" but the funny sort of comes out like FONNY -- it's really very endearing. And, if you ask him what his favorite part of today was he'll say "being with you". Now, of course, he got that from me -- but it's still super cute.

Been warm here -- like swimming warm - which is great for 2 guys training to be fish. They are ready to go to the pool today -- and I'm sure it'll be super fun!!!!

Not with the bloggin'

Apparently daily bloggng, or multiple blogs a day is not my speed. But, that is okay.

Can't recall one thing I've been doing -- just hanging around and resting. ;) That is good. Boys are having a playdate with Caden right now. They played at his house for an hour earlier, and now he is here for a couple of hours. These boys are full of PLAY. I feel like I could rest under a warm blanket.

Speaking of warm -- it's barely even 60* today and I'm freezing. When exactly did I become *SO* weenie? Probably always was, really.

Is anybody out there?????

My shouts are echoing it's so dead over here...much more coming, mucho going on !

Feeling GOOOOOD

Good things going on around here.

We went to Vegas last weekend. It was a very cool experience, I think we all enjoyed seeing the strip and bumming around. We stayed in a TOTAL dive - scheduled to be imploded next year. But, on happier notes we saw the gondolas at the Venetian, saw NY NY which drew all 4 of us in, and loved the Sphinx at the LUXOR. Cool stuff there.

Doing really well with the tastefully simple business -- it's really a great and cool thing. LOVING that. In about 6 weeks I've sold nearly $1600 worth of product - very happy about that. Everyone loves it and wants to be part of it!! I have more parties scheduled too -- hoping to keep this up!

Just lots of excitement around here, everything feels abuzz. Keeping up with the clutter, being joyous and purging. All good things!

It's been a while...

Hmmm...it's been a while.

Oh well, guess there wasn't much to say. Just off of a 3 day weekend in JERSEY -- scrapping, chatting and eating with Rebecca. She's the greatest friend in the world and I got *19* layouts done. *19*! Can a person really scrap that much? Well, I did. And, I am pretty happy with all of them. WOOOOHOOOO - I'm now up to June 2006 in my album and I'm feeling good about that. Now, to keep scrapping regularly!

On to new topics. Liz is due in less than 3 weeks. WOW. Baby Girl will be here so soon and I can't believe it. My dearest friend from college, the one who knows all of the stupid things about me is having her first baby! And, it's a GIRL. Gosh I can't wait. Of course, I'm a wee bit jealous of both things, the baby and the girl -- but it's alright. I'm glad she's getting both, it's what she really wanted!! YIPPEE! I love it when life hands you what you really want, especially when you've had a rough go. Liz has had a tough pregnancy, plus having lots going on in her family. So, the baby GIRL is definitely a bright spot. So glad.

Raining this morning, like pouring. NOt happy about that. But, I guess it has to rain occasionally, right?? Not as far as I'm concerned. But, Boya gets to wear his hand me down firetruck rain boots and that makes him happy. SO, I'll grin and bear it!

More to be excited about

As if my day to day life weren't enough to send me over the moon with happiness -- I've got a couple of other things.

1. Cam is now starting on 2nd grade sight words. 2nd grade. He still has over 5 months of kinder left. As one might imagine, he's at the top of the class. The tip top. This makes my heart swell.

2. Beav is coming to visit. WOOHOO I forsee much fun in that 8 days. :)

Cam has his first tee ball practice tomorrow. Pictures are on Saturday and he has a music concert on Monday night. WOW. Big things are happening.

Loose tooth

Cam has a loose tooth. My first baby is going to lose a tooth. As if his growth, or his intelligence or his growing sense of humor wasn't enough - he is going to lose a tooth. I cannot believe how quickly this all goes. I cannot believe how our lives are truly passing us by and months are like seconds - all gone in several blinks of an eye.

I'll hug him tighter and kiss him even more. Because before I know it he's going to wear a bigger shoe than me. I love this boy.

I have managed to exhaust myself today.

I cleaned every inch of the kitchen and bar area. I scrubbed the bar stools and wiped down the outside of the fridge and the cupboards. I swept and mopped the kitchen, living room and dining room. I vacuumed the play area. I cleaned the dining room table and dusted the living room and dining room. I cleaned, swept and mopped the master bath. (It *needed* it!)

I have placed a Tastefully Simple order and gotten out several catalogs. I've taken Sawyer to the park, Cam to and from school and am fixing to go to a dreaded Wal-Mart and clean out the garage. And, I'm tired. What's for dinner? Haven't gotten that far, yet.

Tomorrow I must clean the family room, the bedrooms and the boys bathroom. I think I'll be tired again tomorrow. Then, I'll just have to start all over again.
