I think this little guy had a growth spurt over night! Suddenly my belly seems to be crawling up my chest and I feel like I need to lean back even more when sitting. I am also constantly reminded that I can't bend over. Today all I can think about my elephant size is that I'm glad I don't have an elephant length pregnancy!
After having everyone home for the Christmas break I realize again that my house is too small and crowded for a family of 7 with two 6' guests, my family is very loud, and I am a person who needs a little quiet time now and then. Today I went to Deseret Book to use my gift certificate from LeRoy and ended up just sitting in a comfy chair to read and soak in the quiet, calm atmosphere for a while. Then I got home to walk in on alot of noise, a toddler that should have been down for a nap but was woken up only 20 minutes into it, a kitchen that looked like a tornado had hit and had popcorn all over the floor. The popcorn actually came from Erika and her friend who 'blew up the bag when it opened' and they were also the ones who woke up Nathan. Amazing how you can put two 14 year old girls together and they run around the house giggling and making a mess like they are 4 year olds again.
To give Nathan and I a little peace I am sending LeRoy and the kids (as well as the 24 yr old who is staying for a couple of daysand happens to be louder than LeRoy) to see the "Bee Movie". That should give me time to get Nathan to bed, clean up this disaster house a little and maybe do a little reading. If all I do is get Nathan to bed and then sit and listen to silence it will be well worth it.
Now on to my New Year's Resolutions. I did make a few and they are very realistic. For example:
1 - Lose weight . . . I should be able to accomplish that around March 21st and shortly after
2 - Build a house . . . there is a whole crew working on that
3 - Move . . . inevitable
4 - Not lose my mind/temper/sanity . . . taking meds from the midwife
My physical body and spirit can't handle much more. I do have a couple of things written down but I also decided with that to not beat myself up trying to get it done so I guess my goal for 2008 is to survive.
As I just read through this post I realize that I really must be tired. Sleep deprivation and lack of solitute is leaving me in a little cloud of . . . hmmm . . . I don't know, just a little grey, moody cloud.
I guess today the blog title fits. Another day done . . . "Tomorrow is a new day with no mistakes in it". Thank you Anne Shirley. (I guess I could have tried the "Glad Game" but I was too tired to play).
