Take me to the rivvaaahh

Yesterday was my Friday/Saturday. Tree, Liz, Amy and Terri came over and we went to the pool. It was so fun to have girl time and relaxation. We had kick ass lunch provided by Tree. Trevor even took Tess home for a nap when she got tired so I got to be in a pool without a baby clinging to me. Very nice. I wish every day could be hang-out-at-the-pool-with-friends day. I'm not asking for much. Maybe we need our own pool?

Today Dan, Tessie and I are going to the river. Mom and Dad already have the other kids down there so we're just gonna pack our stuff and go. We're debating about taking the d-o-g and staying the night. There are pluses and minuses but it's looking like we'll do it. I miss spending weekends down there like we used to do. I just hope leeroy behaves and dan can sleep. The worst part of it is packing everything we own for 24 hours of fun. I guess I should go do that now.

Happy weekend everyone.

green green, is green they say

Tess just colored the toilet lid w/ a green marker. It's beautiful. I need to buy stock in Mr. Clean magic erasers because it's really the only thing that removes most of the damage the love child does around this place.

I've been working SO hard lately that my head feels full and my body aches. It's not BAD, it's just hard work. I come home so tired every day and then I dream about computers at night. Well, the combination of Harry Potter and computers. I finished the book yesterday so I'm still rolling things around in my head and trying to solve things...only see, I have computers in my dream. If Harry had computers he'd have been way better off. "hermione...google he-who-must-notblhablahblah and see where he's been". It'd be the most wicked smart way to do things.

I'm suffering from wanderlust again. I think what we need to do is plan a cruise for sometime next year. I need to see a beach soon, and not while I'm knocked up. I just needta figure out how to do one of those things where you make a deposit and pay on it or something. yea. that's the ticket.

There's a reason I haven't written...

I haven't had anything to say, really. However, if you were to hang out around my house and listen to me bitching and complaining about things, you'd think I've got TONS to say. I guess it's a case of "if you can't say something nice..."

Here are some good/great things:
I got my amnio results and our baby boy is free of chromosome disorders and healthy and may even be due a week earlier than we'd thought.

Dan started his new job today and so far, he likes it.

Lasagne is in the oven cooking.

Everyone's healthy around here.

I got to hang out with Tree and Jason last week and that was long overdue. I vote we do it more often.

Work is busy busy busy but rewarding most days.

****
And here's what I will say that's not so nice. I'm pretty straight-forward and hate people who allude to things rather than facing them...but sometimes it's in your best interest to just shut your yap and not emote about every little burr under your blanket. These are things that are annoying to me this week (like you give a rats ass)...

My ex-husband's wife. I've never liked the way she treats my kids but I try very hard to keep peace with her, especiallly now that Jake stays there. But when it comes to my attention that she's talkin' smack, I'm not really going to sit back and just accept it. The issue has been dealt with, though. For now.

My eldest kid. I love him, but 16 year olds are probably just as self-centered and awful as pregnant women. We're civil to each other. When the hell did I have a "civil" relationship with my own kid? That annoys me.

Those two issues have been dealt with and semi-resolved, so they're not what's making me grit my teeth. I'll still be gritting for a while I think.

***

I ordered more dr. brown's bottles off of ebay yesterday. I don't plan on buying anything much new for the baby, just some boy clothes and t-shirts and probably some bedding more suitable for a little boy. I plan on getting Tessie moved to a toddler bed before we have this baby. I also have huge plans for getting her potty trained. I just really wish, in retrospect, that I hadn't given away all of my baby/maternity stuff. I had about a bajillion onesies and blankets and other stuff that now I'll have to replace. I'll hit up freecycle when the time gets closer though, it shouldn't be too hard.

amnioticness

Everything went fine today. We got to see all of the limbs on our new baby but no girl or boy parts. It was cool to see it kicking around since I still haven't felt anything. In fact, I still don't feel pregnant. We'll have results on Thursday. The doc today said that I'm a week farther along than I thought. That's cool...maybe we can have the baby on my birthday or the day after.

The rest of the day was spent sleeping. I hate when I waste a day off without doing anything.
