had plans

I had plans to post a billion pictures from one of our many Virginia adventures last night (the kids wanted the one with the Botanical Gardens) but I sat on my bed eating Cadbury mini eggs instead.

I feel I made a wise choice.

It was daylight savings yesterday and even though it was practically still daylight outside, the kids all went to bed around 8:30.  I sat on my duff the rest of the night.

My body is feeling the toll of being 36 weeks pregnant.

I hurt a lot.

I contract even more.

I'm crying over clothing now.

I'm entering the hermit stage full force.

I need to have this baby.

Good thing I realize and have embraced (like a cactus) that I have at least 2 weeks left.  This baby and his lungs need 2 more weeks.   2 weeks of waddling, contracting, hurting, and wearing the same blasted clothing.

It's my saving grace that the LONGEST I have left being pregnant is 17 days.

17 days.

I can take one for the team for 17 days right?

I may be taking one for the team...but that doesn't mean I have to put on church clothes again.

I officially informed Steve that I am done with church.

As I sat sweating on our pew yesterday afternoon and contracting every 10 minutes...I declared myself finished.  

I will disappear for the next 2 months- minimum.

Today my plan is to finish up loose ends for the science fair, run a few errands (my children have grown out of our worn out their shoes) and sleep.  Just try and guess which one I am looking forward to the most.

Andrew thinks I'm taking him shopping...the $100 is burning a hole in his pocket.  He has big plans to buy running shorts and a new sweatshirt.  He already spent $25 on the optional track jacket for his upcoming season.  I bought his needs...he can buy his wants.  We'll see what I'm up for tonight.

Other than a nap my biggest ambition today is to polish of the last piece of chocolate cake my mom brought over yesterday.  It has cream cheese in it...um...yes it is fantastic.  Now I wonder why I don't fit into my clothes???
