JERK

Have you ever wanted to tell your boss to go f#@k himself? I know I said I wouldn't bitch about work, and I won't go into great detail, I just need to vent for a moment..... yup, I still hate him. Maybe I need a few moments....

Memorial Weekend

I love long weekends, but yet again, who doesn't? We spent the weekend in Wisconsin Dells and besides for the extreme heat, we had a lot of fun. HH taught me how to play Texas Hold 'em (don't know how it's spelled) so my new goal is to practice and win some money:) We also went to the casino, where HH ended up winning $160 on the slots! Needless to say, it was a great weekend.

I think I felt the baby moving around a little more today, it's still really hard to know if it's just a minor cramp, or if it's really the baby. I'm sure in the next few weeks, I'll really know what to look for. I will be 17 weeks on Wednesday, which means only 3 more weeks until our ultrasound! How cool is that? I am so excited to see our little one, and I pray that we'll be able to tell the sex of it. I'm almost halfway through my pregnancy already, I can't believe how fast it is going. My belly is starting to bulge & I've noticed I can't bend over as easily as I once did.

I don't have much else to report, I'm rather lazy & tired after this weekend & I've got to get up pretty early tomorrow. So I'm out, thanx for reading:)

Another Monday

Our weekend was pretty fun, but I spent a little more than I anticipated on maternity clothes. I couldn't help it, I wanted one of everything at Old Navy. They have the coolest prego clothes.

Today my hormones kicked in & I wanted to just tell everyone to leave me the hell alone. For some odd reason, everyone I work with just rubbed me the wrong way today. They just irritated the hell outta me. I suppose it's because the computers were not working properly, and all I heard today was complaining. Grrr. but I got over it once I got home to see the Hot Husband & he agreed to save the day & look at the computers. He rocks. He fixed our problems in 10 minutes...the same problem we hired someone to work on for the last week.... So HH, thanx again!

Over the weekend, I felt what I believe to be our baby moving around. I could be wrong, but everyone says it's like bubbles, or butterflies, & I just had this odd feeling, good of course, just something I've never felt before. I figure in the next few weeks (I'll be 16 weeks on Wednesday) I'll start to feel it more, so I'll know what to look for, feel for, or whatever:) Needless to say, it was pretty exciting for us!

For those of you who have been avid readers of HH's blog, you've probably read plenty of posts about our crazy, drunk nights that always started at our favorite bar. I have some sad news to report, that this Saturday we are closing the doors. It's a great place & had such great potential, but management sucked & they didn't know how to run an establishment of that size. Either way, I'm glad we had our time & we'll have plenty of stories to never tell our kids about:)
We're going there on Friday for one last hurrah. Is that how you spell it? HH can do a few Jager Bombs, & can do a few water bombs:)

One of my sisters is trying to get pregnant right now, she has a 5 month old, so this is like the new generation of little ones in our family. It's pretty cool that they will be close in age as our baby. Speaking of our baby, let me tell you about an odd experience I had today:

I was visiting one of my work locations today, and the manager (who has told me in the past she's slightly psychic) was just going crazy over my baby bump. You'd have to meet her to understand, she's quite a lively character. Anyways, she insists that we are having twins. After asking to feel my stomach muscles & asking me to take deep breaths, she said she just knows the feeling of twins. And then she said she predicts I'll be in labor for 1-1/2 hours, and our baby will have red hair. WHAT??????????????? We don't have red hair. I think she's nuts, but whatever. And 1-1/2 hours? More like 1-1/2 days! Who knows, but I'd freak out if any of it came true. I suppose this is enuf babbleing for one evening. Thanks for reading!

Manic Monday...whoa...oh....

Anybody else like the Bangles? I'm a big 80's chick myself. But anyways, I apologise for not writing lately, but we've had a house guest, & it was our last week of school, so it's been a little hectic. I had a lot to say, but the Hot Husband beat me to it. Check out his latest post if you haven't already. But it was very stressful watching after his brother.

I love him to death, but he's just at that akward age, and you catch him in these little lies, one after the other. It gets frustrating. There's no reason you have to lie to me about having lunch money. Just tell me you don't want to eat, instead of reaching in your pocket & pretending your checking for money.

I don't get it. But I also haven't been 14 in quite some time. Maybe times have changed. But I definately agree with HH on the NO VIDEO GAMES policy (except Super Mario Brothers.) Those games make kids crazy & bitchy at the same time!

I also solemnly (can't spell) swear to quit carrying laundry baskets. It's just out of habit, I guess. Our nursery is coming along quite nicely. We plan on finishing it up this week, and this Saturday (which I will call Date Day, even though HH will think I'm a loser for calling it that:)) but anyways, we are spending the day together shopping for baby stuff:) I plan on turning my phone off & just enjoying the day with my HH & baby:)

I have a huge pile of appraisal work to attend to, so I gotta run! Have a great day & thanx for stopping by!

Jo.

Beautiful Sunday

It is so beautiful outside today, so we decided to take a bike ride & pull out the hammocks & get some sun. HH is still out there, but I'm taking a break to cool down.

Everything went really well at the doctor on Friday, the baby's heartbeat is 140 beats per minute, both of us are healthy & I've gained 3 lbs. I've decided I need to really watch what I eat (usually I'm really good) and make sure I get enuf exercise...but I can't believe how much energy this kid takes away from me. we walk around a few blocks & I feel like my legs are going to fall off.

I have to get back to using my Pregnancy Yoga DVD, it's just a pain in the ass, because you always have to unhook the cable, to hook up the DVD player blah blah blah. Excuses, excuses.

Friday after the doctor, we worked on the nursery & pretty much finished most of the painting yesterday. We also have new carpeting coming next Friday, so we've got a lot of work to do this week. Ugh. Plus it's my last week of school, as long as I pass my test on Wednesday!!!!! Then last night my sister & I went out to eat at a really nice restaurant in town. I went all out & splurged on the Filet Mignon...& the cheesecake & it was worth every penny!

Sorry this post isn't extremely interesting, just thought I'd sum up my weekend & let you know how the doc went. HH just came in & we're off to nap!
