Month: January 2010

  • I think this may have been the longest I have gone without writing a blog.  I do mean to sit down and write, but can hardly find the time.  We have been so busy getting ready for the baby, keeping up with regular daily stuff, and keeping up with J.

    We have emptied out our computer room, which will soon be J's room.  Multiple trips to Goodwill, lots of trash, and several things going on Craig's List.  We finally emptied the last item out of the computer room yesterday.  It was our large computer desk, which I greatly miss now.  It is in the garage... for the one day when we can buy a house.  Meanwhile, I had to clean out two file drawers and have the items in just one small file drawer.  I think I have done more shredding today than Enron has!

    Today B scraped the popcorn off the ceiling and painted it.  We are both exhausted, and are incredibly sore.  We still have lots of work to do, and are hopeful that people will actually help us out.  Thus far, help has been limited.  So we have been working very slowly.  I just don't have the stamina any more.

    B still enjoys his job.  He is considering taking the exam to become an underwriter.  My job is going well.  My boss is cracking me up about going on maternity leave.  Needless to say, as long as I have coverage, he doesn't care when I go.

    J continue to wonder an amaze us.  She turned 23 months on Friday.  She is completely boy crazy.  Beyond boy crazy.  Some friends of ours moved into our cul de sac, and they have two boys ages 6 and 8.  She calls them her boys, and has a fit when she can't see them.  She went to their place Friday night so we could see some people B used to work with.  She would not eat her dinner... crying from the moment I took her out of the car until we actually walked her over to see her boys.  We are in some serious trouble!  B is already talking about getting a gun!

    Pregnancy is rolling along nicely.  I am struggling with getting sick all the time.  Go figure, your immune system is lowered when your pregnant so your body doesn't reject the baby.  And at a time when you can't take anything to help you feel better.

    Hope everyone has a great New Year!
