Loads of things going on inside the house.
Things like getting bedrooms to fit the family by getting bunk beds, switching our bed to the King size bed – I still love the closeness of a queen though! I got to have a few shopping sprees and get the dresser and end tables for our bedroom and pick up new bedding and accessories for our bed and the whole house. It was fun spending over $2,000 in a day but. . . The fun has to stop there.
Zach is walking wonderfully. He gets so excited and breaths really fast when he sees something he wants or just peeking over chairs with family members. He turns corners well and has mastered going downstairs with his tummy to the steps. He learned that Thanksgiving Day at Grandma S’s house. I get ooohs and aaahs over how cute he is everywhere I go. About as much as my red haired girls.
The girls don’t start school until The first week in January. It’s a little hard right now having them running up and down stairs while Nathan is trying to work. And I’m trying to unpack boxes and take care of Zach. I still have to pick up their “Winter Break packets” so they can keep busy with that. We just got our satellite TV installed yesterday and found the power cord for the gamecube, they are happily watching TV and played Star Wars Lego this morning. It’s great to have them still and I – silent with no need of breaking up another cat fight.
Nathan wakes up at 5:30 in the morning. His conference calls start at 6 AM the only thing I really miss about him “heading off to work in the morning” which is downstairs, is the kiss goodbye. It’s really hard keeping 3 kids perfectly quiet and away from their play room in the basement all day long. He should be off at 3PM each day but continues to work. Things at work should start letting up a little bit as he tries to get the Thousands of users to switch to a “tool” that has better hardware. And he will start migrating to a different position.
I miss couponing. I did the grocery shopping this week and spent $300.00!!! I had to stock an empty fridge and freezer for a family of 5 1/2. I did find a sale items and a few misc coupons on boxes and such which helped I saved $46 at one store and who knows how much at the WalMart Super Center which I have never had! So I did get quite a bit for my money compared. But still. . .Coupons are being missed. Especially DOUBLE coupons!
I’m dead tired all the time. I fall asleep during the day almost everyday for a few minutes and we are in bed by 8:30 or 9 PM. We put the kids in bed, watch a little TV or a movie but by 3/4 of the movie I’m usually out cold! We got our Dresser and night stands today they look great with the bed! So we will finally have a place to unload boxes. I have also had to take a trip to the laundrey mat. Since our Washer and Dryer don’t Show up until December 13TH! I’m sending Nathan out Next time and he can work from there since leaving 1 or more kids at home NEVER works well. His idea. The Delivery company came at 7:30 AM and I am still tired from waking up early.
There’s a lot of dust in the air and at about Between 5 and 5:30 I’m usually up sneezing and blowing my nose – which isn’t something I want to have to wake up for, then on top of that. I have to use the restroom and if I move too much I get AWFUL pregnancy ligament pains. I have been in tears and sometimes Bawling on more than one occasion and the only way to get rid of them is to guzzle a bottle of water. One night I laid really still and they went away. Another night I tried the same thing – the bottle of water was on my hope chest at the end of the bed. I was in so much pain that I couldn’t even sit up to get the water and I ended up waking Nathan up in tears because I couldn’t bend to get the water. I hate almost everything about being pregnant. My body doesn’t handle it well AT ALL! I’m glad this is the last one I’m putting my body through. I hope I can make it through this one.
