So tired, so inspired, but so tired!

I had an amazing night with some of my bestest -yes, I know that's not a real word, but to me it works...- friends on Friday! I cannot remember the last real slumber party I had with them, and it was amazing! So amazing in fact, not only were we up in to the wee hours of the morning, but we almost welcomed the morning into existence! It was a late night, or early morning I guess. At 4 am I finally called it quits and quickly washed the makeup off my face, took out my contacts and brushed my teeth!

From THE moment we arrived at around 7pm until after 4am was pure talking, pure conversation, pure soul searching and it was amazing! Warning: the use of the english word amazing, an abbreviated version of the word amazement, may be used extensively in this author's post for the day. First, it was just so incredible that we were all able to get together that evening, especially that now 3 out of the 5 have babies! And secondly, we had so much to celebrate with a new engagment, and new lives and we really seemed to rekindle the sparks that ignited our friendships in the beginning. We were so real with eachother again, so caring and of course, so goofy!

And oh my. Let's just say that a tape that had been hidden for the last 8 years got whipped out from a dusty box, one that we had hope had been forgotten about. We had not viewed this artifact since it's making...and let me tell you, a few of us may have peed a little in our pants. Just a little.

As the wine continued to be poured throughout the evening, we may or may not have facebooked our status, and ambushed one friend to FINALLY create her facebook account because you know, we still utilize the high schooler in us to use a little peer pressure. We also may or may not have ate a lot of puppy chow, like until 4 am. And there may or may not have been wine pouring in to ginormous wine goblets until 4 in the morning either. I wouldn't know...

So, anyway, even though I got roughly about 4 hours of sleep, and then got dropped off at my home around 10 am, just so I could get ready for waitressing at 11 am. Then worked until 9:15 pm; I got through the day, inspired, refreshed, renewed. Exhausted. Today I feel so tired, so inspired, but so tired! I keep going back and forth between them! I am so sleepy which can cause crabbiness in some, yep me, but then church was so inspiring today! So then I felt better. But then I went to Walmart, I know big mistake, and became uninspired. But I'm trying to shake that off, so that the rest of my day can be what I want it to be...AMAZING!

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...
