Super Tired!

I feel very exhausted today, but it was worth it. Yesterday I didn't sit for more than a half an hour. I did a lot of cleaning around the house. I got loads and loads of laundry done. I was going to take a picture of how much I did yesterday, washed, dried, folded and put away, but then I thought I might embarass myself so I decided against it!

I then actually cleaned our laundry room. It's the one room in our house that I hate the most. We have an older home, and the laundry room stayed true to the home in that it is like a cave with scary metal contraptions in there, water pipes, and air ducts. Cobwebs are hard to keep up with and one time, I even saw a mouse fall from the ceiling. -Story time: My cat had been attacked by an animal on one of it's many adventures in it's nine lives that, I am sorry to report, came to an end this summer via another attack. Anyway, he went to the vet and came home with a halo thingy and creme, which did not of course keep the gaping wound from seeping. So, he had to stay in the laundry room. Being the attentive "mother" that I am. I actually stayed in there with him for a while to keep him company. As we were laying on the floor there, together, I see something fall from the open-piped ceiling to the floor. My cat, which by this time I had taken the halo off due to what I felt would cause more injury to hime than assistance, had leaped across my legs to the corner of the room. I then heard the awful noise....squeaking. I then screamed and jumped up on the washer, as my cat proceeded to chase the darn thing right below me and...yep, killed it. It was soooo gross.

So, this gives you a little insight in to the creepy factor of my laundry room. But, after I cleaned and straightened it today, it had an air of hopefulness. That maybe one day, this laundry room, will be a grand place of cleanliness and sanctuary.

Doubt it.

Hooray for you! I also have a creepy, gross laundry room that I despise. I would so love to have a cute one! I always see these cute decorations for laundry rooms and wish I could have a nice one to decorate!

There are two kinds of people: Part Two - The non-movers

Coffee cup in one hand, veggie/fruit smoothie in the other. No seriously, that's what I have on each side of me as I write. I'm smiling because of how funny this is, as it seems to also relate to this conundrum of a topic before us. There are two kinds of people, and there are definitely two kinds of beverages.  My caffeinated beverage on my left brings me a one sided joy that I cannot even begin to detail. I love my coffee. And I really do think it loves me back. At least for a while. As I peer out of the corner of my eye to the right, I see the greenish grainy drink to my right. Today the fennel seeds in it do not make it seem as dirty  I mean, like I just gathered them from the dirt without rinsing and sprinkled them in there kind of dirty. Maybe it was the splash of OJ I decided to add to it this morning. Now, I know that this drink loves me. It is good for many aspects of my life. Health, energy, sustenance, power. But I do not enjoy it as much. When I make my ...

Round two!

I got to come home for a little bit and play with Brady and Halle, give them a bath (me a shower) and then laid them down for a nap. I took some ibuprofen, I think I have an overdose of a "caffeine, lack of sleep, still wearing my contacts" headache! So now I am going to try and nap a little and then it's back to the hospital with Shelby for round two of SLUMBER PARTY AT THE HOSPITAL WITH A SICK BABY! Not worthy of all caps joy, but I'm trying to be optimistic about it all! So we had a rough night last night, she didn't sleep for a full hour from 9-1am, then she had a bit of an issue with her nebulizer treatment (meaning she didn't like it) and then her IV came out. Yadda yadda. Finally at 3 am she was ready to settle down and then she slept till 7am. On my chest. Luckily I was tired enough to get most of that sleep as well, until about 6:30ish. I just feel so bad for her! I felt bad for me a little too about 1:00 am. I wanted to just cry my eyes out from bein...

Who did we welcome home TODAY????

Shelby Capri Bergman 6 lbs. 5 oz. , 19.5 inches long May 30th, 2008 10:52 pm I just want you all to know that everything went picture perfect. She's beautiful, she's healthy and she's very content. I don't have a ton of pictures yet, my mom took pictures during delivery and I took some today when we got home, but since we don't have internet at home now, it will be slow coming! I had my membranes stripped at 9:45 am on Friday. Afterwards, Tom and I went to Walmart, Applebees's, my sister's classroom to help move some stuff (I supervised... I was a little sore), and then home. I took a nap and Tom started getting ready for supper. His 4 hour long, grilled ribs...and that is how the story begins! So we keep joking that I am going to go during his first trial run with the ribs. This starts at around 3:30 pm. Then, we run out of propane and start all over a...
