Friday!

Yeah! Even for stay at home mom's, there is something about Friday that feels so good! Although, I did not go lap swimming all week. Well, I take that back, I went Wednesday, but it was cancelled. As I got in to my car that morning at 5:20 am, pulled up to the high school, got out of my car, walked up to the door, and noticed a sign that said, "Pool Problem, Lap Swim Cancelled". Nice.

I worked last night waitressing, and I was non-stop moving from 5-9:40pm. It was just steady, and I went right from waitressing to closing down. I don't mind cleaning up there, it's just the vacuuming that is the ultimate worst! It is a huge area to clean, and on top of it, the vacuum is like trying to push a small man in a chair across the carpet. And then you have to move all the tables and chairs...just talking about it makes me cringe!

And then I left there with that feeling of, "Did I leave something on? Coffee pots? Lights? Did I clean well enough?" Because if I did do something wrong, it will for sure be ever so "politely" commented on by the morning staff and long time owner. I'm trying not to let it get to me, but there are some really negative, gossipy people there, and it drives me bonkers!

But anyway, so I tried getting up to go swimming today, but I was still not sleeping at midnight, and when the alarm went off this morning at 5am, I just could not bring myself to get up! And then I milked the rest of my sleep until 8 am, even though I clearly could hear all of my children up at 7:30am!

Tonight we celebrate Halle and Brady's birthdays with the family, so that will be fun! OH! I also, for my birthday, got tickets to the U2 concert in Chicago! I am so excited! I am going to bring my brother (who lives in Chicago), he's going to pay for my flight for my birthday, and I think it is going to be amazing! It is at Soldier Field, and it's an open stadium! I have been to two other U2 concerts, but being outdoors will feel amazing, I just know it!

Well, the sun is out, so that looks promising! Awesome!

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 coffee

Still here...Day Two.

Well, I still miss my kids horribly. Especially this morning when I heard that Shelby was up alot during the night. She has not been up in the middle of the night in 3 weeks, and it made me feel guilty for leaving her. I felt and feel, like I should be home with them. I know the woman who is watching them, that if she hears even the slightest little peep out of the kids would go rushing in to their room. I really don't want Shelby to get used to someone picking her up in the middle of the night for little rustles and sighs. But maybe I am just anxious, and maybe it is not really that big of a deal. Maybe I should just enjoy my time with my thoughts, my books and my husband. But honestly, I am anxious because I feel like the can't live with out me (don't laugh, besides I know it's over dramatic:)), I haven't even attempted to pick up one of my books, and my husband is driving me nuts because it does not bother him one bit that we are 3 hours away from our little bund

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
