So much going on....

I have been putting everything off lately including blogging. The whole pregnancy thing just sucks the energy right out of me. I kept thinking last week that I need to get the ornaments on the tree and do my shopping, but I have plenty of time yet! Then I realized this morning that Christmas is NEXT WEEK!! Time to get crackin. At least I'm not still working 80 hours a week or going to college so this should be a cinch right? We'll see.

On a sad note, we think our 11 year old dog may have cancer. J.P. is giving her lots of extra attention and letting her sleep on the bed. We are taking her in for tests in a week or so, but if it's what we think it is we won't be putting her through surgeries or chemo. She wouldn't understand why and she wouldn't be safe to have around the kids. When she doesn't feel good she gets grumpy. We don't want an 80 lb dog nipping the kids because they are bugging her. Hopefully we're wrong.

We did have one really wonderful piece of news this past week...our youngest son Eli no longer has bladder reflux. He has been on antibiotics since he was 3 months old to combat chronic UTI's caused because the plumbing runs a little backwards. Everyone has been praying that this would resolve itself and his latest lab tests showed that it did!! I was so happy (and greatful) I almost cried when they told me!

I love the holidays but this year I'm looking forward to the calm after all the hustle and bustle. I have enough on my plate with family, work, and pregnacy!

Traffic Jams

One thing that has always rubbed me the wrong way is drivers who completely disregard notices about closed lanes on freeways. The resulting bottleneck is both irritating and unnecessary. Traffic would flow so much better if everyone would just merge at the earliest opportunity instead of trying to bypass everyone who is paying attention to the courtesy signs provided. It boils down to the fact that no one's time is more valuable than another's. Politeness is the casualty of traffic jams.

Mind Blowing

Technology today blows my mind. It shouldn't-I'm not that old. I do remember a time without internet, cellphones, and realistically usefull laptops-not to mention my favorite new toy, PDA cellphones! Maybe I AM that old, but I prefer to think of myself as just easily amused. I am posting this blog using my PDA cellphone. I never could have conceived of that function on a phone even five years ago. This is just plain cool!

Third time's a charm???

So this is my third attempt at starting a blog. I had one for awhile, but was unable to access it from work. Blogging from home is impossible with two kiddos running around, so I cancelled my account-no point in paying for what I'm not using. My solution (implying there was a problem with no blog...)moblogging using a free blog site. If I can't successfully blog using my cell phone then I'm going to bag it for now!
