Voices in the night...

At night, I feel like I live on the toilet I have to get up to use the bathroom a few times in the night, with baby sitting on my bladder, it is inevitable. My kids like to bring toys into our room, and somehow they don't always make it back into their room (or wherever else they belong). So, the other night, about 2:30 AM, I was routinely making my way to the bathroom. I struggle with sciatic nerve issues at the end of pregnancy, so I guess I was kind of hobbling around. My foot bumped something and I heard~ in a deep, dark voice~ "Oh baby, I'm every hippo's dream." I about flew through the roof. It freaked me out so bad! I don't really think I knew what it said, since I was half asleep, but I knew that voice wasn't a regular voice I should hear at night. Once I got in the bathroom, I could feel my heart racing within my throat. Then, I started to wake up more, and I realized what took place. I felt the wrath to whip that McDonald's toy out the window.

Feeling Tired...

I know that I am in my eighth month of pregnancy, but lately I have been so extremely tired. I do have to say that my arm/shoulder is a little better. I just hope that my pain stays minimized until the end of pregnancy. I am sorry I am not doing a whole lot of personal posts lately...just been really tired. I will try to visit around the blogosphere come this weekend, and write more personal stories. I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving! We are going to my husband's mom's home. My parents are going to be there, too. So, we get the best of both families! My husband's Grandma is home from a long extended stay from the hospital, so it will be great to see her, too.

I (promise) to write more later, but I need to get me, and this wonderful miracle growing inside of me~ to bed.

Too tired

I have been so tired lately, and I am sure it can be targeted at going into the third trimester! Or maybe the fact that I have a 4th grader, a 3 year old, and a 19 month old! Right? I have felt so drained lately, and I know I tend to burn the candle at both sides of my day. The kiddos get up between 6 & 7, and then, when they go to bed at 8:00 in the evening...I have MY time. So, I stay up looking at blogs reading, writing on here, or doing review/contest posts. Otherwise, I just start surfing around different sites, check out what's new on Craig's List for sale...and before I know it, it is WAY past my bedtime. So, being it is 10:30 right now, and I am feeling the overly exhaustion...I am putting myself to bed. I am sorry that I don't have any amazing stories, or funnies from the kids to write for you. I am sure there are some, there always is. However, tomorrow night is a new night, and I will try to write more then. OK?? Oh, and about those pictures of the beautiful fall colors on our lake, I will try my hardest to snap a few and post them ASAP! :) Goodnight, ya'll!

A life in the day as "MOM"

A man came home from work and found his three children outside, still In their pajamas, playing in the mud, with empty food boxes and wrappers strewn all around the front yard. The door of his wife's car was open, as was The front door to the house and there was no sign of the dog. Proceeding Into the entry , he found An even bigger mess. A lamp had been knocked Over, and the throw rug was Wadded against one wall. In the front room the TV was loudly blaring a Cartoon channel, and the family room was strewn with toys and Various items of clothing. In the kitchen, dishes filled the sink, Breakfast food was spilled on the Counter, the fridge door was open wide, dog Food was spilled on the floor, a broken glass lay under the table, and a Small pile of sand was spread By the back door. He quickly headed up the stairs, stepping over Toys and more piles of clothes, looking for his wife. He was worried She might be ill, or that Something serious had happened. He was met with a small trickle of water as it made its way out the bathroom door. As he peered inside he found wet towels, Scummy soap and more toys Strewn over the floor. Miles of toilet paper lay in a Heap and toothpaste had been Smeared over the mirror and walls. As he rushed to the bedroom, he found his wife still curled up in the bed In her pajamas, reading a novel. She looked up at him, smiled, and asked how his day went. He looked at her bewildered and asked, "What Happened here today?" She again smiled and answered, "You know every Day when you come home from work and you ask me what in the world I do all Day?" "Yes," was his incredulous reply She answered, "Well, today I didn't do it.."
