First, to Clint and Patrice, we keep you in our thoughts and prayers daily, and hope to come visit soon.
Second, to Justin and Lindsey, thanks so much for stopping by! It was so fun to see you two, and happy anniversary!
Third, this week has prompted me to be extra grateful for a lot of things... such as....
- Mondays where there is NOT a time change, as I have never felt it affect me more.
- Those rare days when I am NOT late to work, as I rolled in about 20 min late every day. Good thing I still beat the kids!
- NOT having to sit through what was described by Jared as the "world's most boring training meeting", as I was at home feeling SUPER nauseous instead.
- NOT teaching until 9:00 pm on Wednesdays anymore, as I finally caved and moved a few students to Monday.
- NOT coming home every Thursday, finally feeling good enough to clean for my poor husband, only to walk in to a wave of poop smell as puppy had a MAJOR "blowout" in his kennel, and on the wall behind the kennel, and the carpet in front of the kennel... you get the idea.
- Those times where I may not want to mop, but at least it doesn't make me cramp!!!
- Pizza nights on Fridays... no cooking or clean up!!
- Spring Break on the horizon... school is wearing me out.
- Loose fitting clothes as I was asked more than once this week by bold mothers, "Is there a bun in the oven?" or "Is this for reals? (while pointing to their own perfectly flat tummies)". Apparently, the cat is out of the bag WAY before I am ready to feel huge!
- And last but not least, a hubby who not only puts off work to spray down the dog and to spray off dog poop from kennels and towels, but a hubby who will NOT make me feel like an overdramatic sickly little prego who is a little emotional trying to figure all of this out(which I readily acknowledge I am, but it is quite different to be have someone else say it)!
I truly am grateful this week is over, and hope it has treated all of you a bit kinder! We miss you all and hope to see you soon!

Aw... Stacey I am so sorry. I hope you feel better soon. I don't think this next week could be worse than your last week, so hopefully you can catch a break. Love ya.
ReplyDeleteWOW! I'm sorry, but mostly excited for you!!!! Call me if you need me to walk the dog or something while you sleep. Not that I've ever walked a dog before, but hey. I'm willing.
ReplyDeleteOh Stacey, sounds like you have had quite the week. Who are we kidding I can totally relate to the whole puppy poop thing, I'll never forget coming home from work (while prego) to find Che' had pooped all down the stairs at the farm, but Chris had left it for me to clean up...let's just say I lost it a couple of time literally (ha ha ha!) I doubt you look as pregnant as you think, you are just so skinny that it becomes obvious a lot sooner! Anyways can't wait for you to come up for spring break, we miss you guys and hope you have a better week!
ReplyDeleteHoly Crap! you are pregnant! Congrats! That is so awesome. Hope you enjoy not sleeping. It is the hardest thing ever for me, but the little guy is so cute! I'm so excited for you!
