Holy Cow!!! I have such big ginourmous news….Kind of ironic considering my last post I’m preggers!!! I’m so scared and elated all wrapped into one. Now I’m only about 5 weeks (4 weeks 5 days) and for all the TWBBers out there I am going to post, I’m just going to try (note the word try here!) to wait till I’m a little further along. We are looking at a due date of November 1, although I went two weeks early with DS. Funny thing, If I go two weeks early for this one, I’ll have the baby on my birthday Yay!!!! What I’m planning to do with school is take classes over the summer, and take the fall off. Hopefull I’ll go back in the spring of next year! The baby will be about three months old then. I really want a baby girl I made a joke to DH that if it’s a girl and I have to have another c-section I can tell the doc to just tie the tubes while he’s in there =) I’m just soooooooo excited!!!!

Woo Hoo!!! I got a B- on my paper/presentation for Dr. Intimidation!!! And he’s letting me rewrite if I want to improve on that. Color me relieved =D (I need WG’s green grinny for this one!!!) I talked with him after class tonight and told him that part of my problem is that I’ve never had to deal with the in depth analysis of literature before. I’m used to reading something and taking it at pretty much face value. This interpreting everyline for some deep earth shattering meaning is confuzzling the heck out of me. DS got his stitches out on Tuesday. His finger looks pretty good, although there might be a scar. On the other hand he had double hernia surgery a year ago and you can barely see the scars from that. How I wish I had his skin! I was telling my mom today I wish I could find my biological clock and kill it. I have been wanting another baby so bad I can taste it. Now is *not* the time to have one! That and I’m pretty sure we would need medical intervention…DH and I have opposite blood types (pos & neg), and he was told that he couldn’t father children. (Hence DS being a complete surprise!!!) Does any of this stop me from wanting another one? Nope. So I drive myself crazy monthly. I hate hormones. I was a little surprised by the quiz results (see below) yet it’s mostly true. Except I don’t have an accent…(at least I don’t think midwesterners have one.) and I really don’t have an affinity for straw hats….I haven’t worn one since I was about a year old =) O.K. nuff babbling (I got a B!!!)

You’re Adventures of Huckleberry Finn!

by Mark Twain

With an affinity for floating down the river, you see things in black

and white. The world is strange and new to you and the more you learn about it, the less

it makes sense. You probably speak with an accent and others have a hard time

understanding you and an even harder time taking you seriously. Nevertheless, your

adventurous spirit is admirable. You really like straw hats.

Thanks Angi and WG for your comments =) I was in the midst of a pity party .

We got a second car!! Ok, kind of =) My mom got a new car, and the dealership wasn’t going to give her anything for her old car so she gave it to us. That makes me feel bunches better DH went on a cleaning rampage last night. I think I may have to hurt him. The problem is that he is a minimalist. He likes very uncluttered spaces, clean lines. I am the complete opposite. I like lots of things crowded around me. I like them to be neat, but I like them there. It feels cozy to me. Well in his cleaning “fit” he completely rearranged the living room, all trying to make the room look bigger! Now it doesn’t help that we both want cigarettes badly, and have been snapping at eachother all weekend… I tried explaining that the only way to make the room look bigger would be to remove some furniture and he is *not* getting rid of my comfy furniture. Silly man. That and he keeps trying to move my stash!!! I have about six kitted projects in a basket he keeps trying to shove into our spare room. He seems to think I only need to have one project out at a time…(he also seems to think that I need to finish something before buying anything else, little does he know). Well DS wants me to play so off I go =)

Ok, so I’ve been disappointed thinking that no one…

Ok, so I’ve been disappointed thinking that no one reads my blog. In a way that’s fine because it’s a catharsis for me, in another way it feels kind of crappy because it seems like no one cares. I also know I tend to be paranoid about stuff like this because I’ve always been the invisible girl. Oh well. I did my presentation. It did not go as well as I hoped. This was mainly my fault because I pushed it off until it was due, which happened to be the day that DS hurt his finger. I wasn’t exactly thinking clearly. I’m still disappointed because I really wanted to impress my teacher. He is a great guy and his opinion means a lot to me. I have to expand on the presentation for a paper due on Tuesday. I’m just going to buckle down and pray I do better =) It seems that all the people I’m closest to have been hiding things from me because they “don’t want to upset me” It seems a little silly. I’m not made of glass. If I get upset, I’ll get over it, that’s the way life works. For instance, yesterday DH had a really rough day at work (kind of an ongoing situation, boss is a real jerk and takes it out on DH b/c he knows DH can’t afford to quit.) He doesn’t call me to talk about it because he’s afraid I’ll get upset. Money is really tight right now, and we are slowly starting to get in a semi-comfortable position from when he got laid off 3 years ago. Now he called my mom to talk about it, which is great! DH is a foster child, so I’m thrilled he’s ‘adopted’ my mom and feels comfortable talking to her. I wish he would do the same for me. My mom also told me today that she had a job offer in Texas. She turned it down, but didn’t want to tell me about it until she knew for sure what was happening, again so I wouldn’t be upset. Now yea it would suck if she moved. We moved here so DS would be close to grandma, and they are the only people we know here. On the other hand, if that’s what they needed to do, again that’s life. It seems almost like they don’t trust me. I am far from being made of glass =) I’m trying Flylady (again) for the 4 billionth time. My inherently skeptical nature just does not let me believe that shining my sink will lead to a friendly clutter free abode. I need a brain transplant =) Well it’s late and I’m starting to mistype everything so to bed I go!

:(~~~~

I’m such a bad mommy My poor baby cut his finger, badly. We were in the kitchen and I turned my back and he grabbed a butcher knife. Not just any old knife but a big old butcher knife. So a trip to the ER and two stitches later we’re back home. (you say two stitches is no big deal, he’s two, his fingers aren’t that big). I feel awful…

Argh!

Why is it that whenever I sit down to write something, I get writers wall? I have been trying to write a commentary on Ibsen’s Hedda Gabler, I know what I want to say and I can’t get it out. I’m also trying to quit smoking and the only thing that is going through my head is “I want a cigarette” DH is also trying to quit, and we had a huge fight this morning. So what do I do? I get cigarettes, and now I hate myself for it. It’s one of those head banging against a wall problems.

It’s been a while.

Well it has been a while since I’ve written Things of note…DH and I had our 3rd anniversary. It’s funny but it doesn’t feel like just 3 years. In some ways it feels like he has always been around. It’s kind of the same with my son, it just feels like he’s always been a part of my life…We aren’t really doing anything for the anniversary, we don’t really have the money so we are just having a family night The upside is that this Saturday is one of the universities scheduled “off weekend” so I don’t have to go to school tomorrow In semi ucky news I have done our taxes. We made way more than I thought we did so I’m just hoping it doesn’t affect my financial aid. Hey if nothing else I can hawk us up to our eyebrows in loans There are 4 good sized hospitals right around were I live not to mention all the other towns/clinics near us so chances are I’ll get a good job quickly after I graduate. I’m loving my Great Books class. The professor formerly known as Dr. Intimidation is amazing. Don’t get me wrong…I’m still petrified about doing my presentation, but the professor is awesome. He makes me think, and see things in a different light. I come out of his class feeling alive! I also come out of his class and babble for about 2 hours at my husband, but he doesn’t mind and loves that I’m excited so hey It bothers me about the other students though. They are sitting in class and complaining about *everything*! This course isn’t what they expected, they don’t understand it, they don’t like the readings blah blah blah. I guess maybe because I went back later in life, and am paying for it myself I’m a little more laid back about it. I know college isn’t the end of the world, and one class is not going to ruin my life….I dunno, they just seem awful whiny
