The kids are out of control. As soon as Hub leaves, they stop
listening. I turn in to this screaming lunatic and then bawl Like
crazy once they are in bed. I hate this.
Then there's the sunburn. And the exhaustion. And the
whole 'getting ready for baby' thing.
I feel tested and burnt out.
And that's why I'm not posting.

Status Updates I Could have posted to Facebook, but Saved for Here
SALY...
...mysteriously has only one swollen ankle. Or Kankle.
...is glad that the third time around, she remembers that all of the hair she has grown on her belly does go away.
...practiced really great parenting on the 4th of July.
...had happy kids over the holiday weekend.
...doesn't think that the Jon and Kate Plus 8 music video should make her blubber like a baby, but somehow, it does.
...is deathly afraid of water, and projected such fears on to her children. She eventually gave in though, and Bud lived.
...doesn't give a rat's ass about "his needs" when she is 36-weeks pregnant.
...is 36 weeks pregnant!!!! Her belly is bigger than her boobs!!
...looks like a sumo wrestler (with great hair).
...coughed so hard in the middle of the night that she threw up on the living room carpet. Cleaning up your own vomit at 2AM is very glamorous.
...is embarrassed when Lucy uses baby talk. Not because it's stupid and annoying (which it is), but because she wants everyone to know how smart and well spoken her 3-year-old actually is.
...is maybe a little bit shallow.
...definitely needs more sleep.
...can't wait to meet her new baby girl.

WINNER ANNOUNCED!!
WOW, can you believe all of these contests??? Can you believe it's winning time already? CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT I WON SWISTLE'S CONTEST?????? (also can you believe that I will be hosting yet another contest, while I'm likely sleep deprived and post-partum?) Those mixed cd's I referenced may just come in handy. Or the prize may be me singing karaoke from bed or something. I just don't know.
But anyway.....you are here to see who won, no?
DRUM ROLL PLEASE.....
Random.org chose comment number 24, who just so happens to be Semi-Desperate Housewife. YAY!! I am excited for her! I am excited for all of us!! I am emailing her now!!!!

Dying from the Cuteness!!
This was one of the gifts I got yesterday---I actually bough the same dress in green for my girlfriend.
I am in love with brown!!!
These are hand-me-downs from a friend---but her daughter never wore them.
Yes, NIKE Booties!!
Today is my first official day home and I am washing baby clothes and taking it easy as my hip has decided to completely give out. I'm not complaining though, since, like I said, NO WORK!!
Construction has completely begun out front and our sidewalks and driveway were the first to go. I am trapped in the driveway until lunch time. I have no plans until this afternoon though, so it is all good!
I can't belive it is only 9:45; the kids were up at 6:30. I am ready for MY nap!!
Finally, I am totally not used to our keyboard at home; it is way less sensitive than mine at work so a lot of my words are ending up with missing letters. Hopefully, spell heck is working!

DONE!!!
*I'm officially done working! Huge sigh of relief.
*My employees surprised me with cake, coffee, and a gift of
some baby clothes. *Then I had contractions every ten minutes
for 2 hours...until I realized that I had not had any water today.
*All is well now; I am looking forward to the next few
weeks.

• I think that my blog is officially like “What the hell??” after receiving 40 comments yesterday and double that in hits. This contest thing is kind of weird. All of these bloggers that I’ve “seen around” but never visited were at my blog yesterday, and I was at theirs. It was like a mixer of sorts, huh?
• Though I usually do their shoe shopping on my own, I took Bud and Lucy with me last night so that they could try things on. Things were ok while I was taking care of Lucy, who ended up with some light-up princess sandals and a cute pair of pink Mary Jane style sneakers. Bud ran up and down the aisles a bit, but overall, he was manageable. While trying to find him a new pair of sneakers though, Lucy was a tyrant. Running, screaming, pulling things off of shelves—you name it. She was completely out of my control. Finally, she knocked a garbage can over causing a huge crash and then started screaming and crying “I’m sorry Mama!!” over and over again while flailing her arms in an all out freak-fest. The way she behaved you would think that she received regular beatings or something. She finally calmed down and then she and Bud locked the doors and put down the door stops while I was paying at which point the store manager yelled at them and gave me a dirty look. I can never go back there again. Lesson learned—we went right from school. I totally should have fed them first.
• Bud got a pair of Spiderman sandals, by the way, but no sneakers. I don’t know what it is about size 11.5, which is what he has worn for nearly a year. I can never find anything. (unless it’s really ugly) So I guess I’ll be checking out Target or something for new sneakers because he needs them for school.
• Things I have said in the last 2 days that I never thought I would: “Please take your mouth off of the garbage can!!” and “Why are your sneakers in the cupboard next to my clean plates?” (The answer was “So Lucy can’t find them and put them on……”) OMG.
• For Bud, today was the best day ever because they started work on our street. The equipment has been there since Friday, but this morning they actually started working……at 6AM. I was up already, but Bud came out of his room screaming “Mommy!! The back hoe!! The digger!!! A FORKLIFT!!!” They also put their outhouse on my neighbor’s lawn right across the street. She must be loving that. The good about this? We are getting a brand new street with proper drainage, new water lines to support sump pumps, brand new 4-foot wide cement sidewalks, and a tree out front. The bad? We can not park on the street (or in our driveways if we’d like to leave during the day) from like 7AM to 7PM. We live one house from the corner and Hub is going to ask our neighbor whose driveway is just around the corner if I could maybe park there during the day so that I don’t have to park at Walgreens or around the block or something.
• Did I mention that today is my actual last full day of work??? OMG!! There is so much to do!! We are having a baby!!!
