Well, lunch was great today , went to my favorite restaurant, the Macaroni Grill. And even more amazing, Dean & I spent less than $20 total, we usually walk away with a $30 bill, but today we didnt. I ordered spaghetti and a salad and Dean got soup and salad, but we ended up swapping because I didnt like the spaghetti sauce and he was hungrier than I was so he needed more than just soup and salad. The soup was sun dried tomato basil, and I would have never ordered just because I wouldn’t think I would like it, but it was simply delicious! So I think from now on maybe I’ll just get soup and salad, but it sure is hard to resist all of the other pasta things on the menu!
After lunch we came home and took a nice long nap, I was exhausted. I really do believe I am coming down with a cold, or just getting a sinus infection. I was so tired and my head was all stuffy. So we both came home and rested up for the evening. Dean is now at Mason’s production of Into the Woods running spot light while I sit here avoiding doing all of the cleaning that needs done before we have a houseful of company tomorrow. I got started on one thing and then a zillion other things that dont need done by tomorrow, just stuff I know needs done before Caleb arrives. My top priority has been updating the chart I use to keep track of what bills need paid when, but our printer hasn’t been working to print it out, so I never did. So, of course, when I really dont have the time to, I fixed the darn thing and redid our bill schedule so that next month when I am too busy and tired to do so, Dean can start writing checks and helping manage the bill paying. I usually keep it quite organized, but I hadn’t been able to do so since our printer wouldnt work and of course its easier for me to do with it in my hand and not just looking at it on the screen. But Dean will probably be the other way around. He’d rather use the computer than paper any day.
And now I sit here writing this instead of cleaning, I think the worst part is knowing no matter how hard I put it off, I am going to have to clean. And it’s not like our place is messy, but the floors need mopped and the vacuum needs run, two things for which I have no energy or desire for right now. Oh well, back to work I go…….
Speaking of work, things at the new office are nice mostly, the new girls are nice, but I can never get out at my scheduled time because now we are over burdened with work, so I have been working 9 or 10 hour days with only a 1/2 hour lunch break. Aside from that and a ton of little nerve racking things, I think the move to the new office was a good thing. Best of all, I am a lot closer to Dean’s work so I can see him more often if I like. But with only a half hour lunch it makes it hard to do. I am dreading having to leave with all of the changes going on at work, but I also dread going to work and being so uncomfortable every day until my leave starts, which isn’t until I go into labor! Oh I’d love to be one of those women that don’t have to work………Yet I can at least be proud of myself for working so far into my pregnancy, especially with all of the trouble I’ve had, one day I can tell Caleb just how strong and brave mommy was working while she was miserably pregnant with him, no there are good times, like when I feel him move and see him on the ultrasound, but then there are those days…….I know it will all be worth it, just a few more weeks, this is the beginning of week 37! And they said they wont let me go past my due date so I know I have no more than 4 weeks and maybe as little as 2 or 3 weeks left!!!!! I don’t know how Hillary is doing it, I am miserable and uncomfortable now, I can’t imagine being a week past my due date! We’ll be praying for you tomorrow!
