Lucky for all my loyal readers that I might actually post twice today....because I'm home!! Why you ask? Well, wouldn't you know it, it's SNOWING again! Along with the white crap, it is mixing with freezing rain, or supposed to. Either way, the daycare was opening 2 hours late, but with the prediction, hubby didn't want to take LH today, and didn't want me to have to slide around in it to pick him up later today.....SO, I "worked" for almost 2 hours and came home.
Now, at first I was a little irritated because there was nothing going on outside. I even stopped by the store on my way home, but around 10 this morning, it started. Not sure what "it" is yet, but something is going on. Good thing I have a lot of flexibility in my job that I can just leave and make up time whenever needed.
Now, instead of a replay of the weekend (aka L.A.Z.Y.), I've been fairly productive so far. I have almost completed our taxes - still missing one thing, but then we'll be done, I've played with LH, put him down for a nap, and now am updating the blog. I know, that's not a lot, but I do have more things to knock off the list. I need to go through a few tubs of maternity clothes, clean the kitchen (again! - never ending project), work on some laundry (thank goodness not much since Hubby did almost all of it over the weekend), and go through a stack of mail that has been hidden away for about 2 weeks! I am also going to make some pancakes to freeze for easy breakfasts, start some spaghetti sauce, and maybe make some pasta salad to have for lunches. I really need to clean out the fridge too!
I would LOVE a nap, but I decided to treat myself to a cup of coffee this morning at work - It is tasting better and better, but I am still trying to cut back as much as possible. Now, I'll be going all day!
See, aren't you glad I decided to come home from work......glad I could make your day!

2 more reasons
I hate this weather! Yes, hate is a strong word, but my gracious - its ridiculous! I've even considering moving to GA. I don't think Hubby is too fond of the idea, but it has been on my mind lately, seriously. I bet he'd like Vegas - I might have to start buttering him up!
So, the reasons are the TWO times I busted my arse this morning on the "path" in our driveway to the cars! Yes, I knew there would be slick spots, and yes, I was being careful, but there was an entire sheet of black ice in front of hubby's truck that I couldn't avoid - twice! Being that it was o' dark thirty, I couldn't see them as well, so I was doing the best I could, but obviously not good enough. I had to trek it through the snow to my side of the car and just deal with wet and cold feet, not to mention my sore bum!
The funny thing is, in all this, I know come mid July, when my feet look like cantelopes, I'll be cursing the heat - but for now, I'm concerned with the cold....GO AWAY!

Stir Crazy, Cabin Fever...whatever, I'm over it!
The snow. I can't stand it. If I want to be lazy and bestuck in the house all weekend, its because I choose to! I have had a few laid back weekends lately, but all by my doing. I don't like being forced to stay in! Sure, there has been laundry, reading, playing, movie watching, and eating of soup, but enough is enough. I just need out! Hubby was feeling it today too and went to Walmart! WooHoo, then picked up a few movies (which we've already watched today). I don't necessarily want to work tomorrow, but I'll be happy to atleast have a change of scenery. I'm sure my arse will appreciate a new seat!
Now, tecnically I could leave the house now if I really wanted, but then I'd have to warm up the car, get dressed in real clothes (I've been going from pjs to pjs since Friday night - don't judge) and not to mention get LH all bundled up then we could go somewhere...but where? Most places are already closed and we are not trying to spend money eating out. If hubby weren't taking his Sunday night nap before work, I'd actually contemplate taking a family drive around town.
I'm so ready for flip flops and warmer weather! BUT, just found out that we might not be out of the winter storm season yet. Supposedly, there could be another front coming in next weekend too! Bummer!
At least I got to drink a cup of coffee this morning! It was delish. I hope this is something that will stick around!

Muscle Car?
I love the Ford Mustang. I have always liked it, but I prefer the older models.
I saw this particular model the other day while I was driving and I couldn't help but think that they've ruined it! First of all, the screaming bright turquoise is just too much and then to add the fat stripe all the way over the car is ugly. A younger guy was driving it - about 18 maybe - and I thought really? Ddo you have a girlfriend? Are you trying to get one? If you are working on it, I'm not sure that this will help, and if you already have one, how does she feel riding around in that?
I think the car itself is great. Sporty, classic, a typical "muscle car"! BUT, with this color and that obnoxious stripe, it kinda of spoils the whole thing. I hope that he plans on driving it forever or investing in a paint job because I'm not sure the resell value will be what he's hoping for!
Maybe he's a huge fan of the Fast and the Furious movies....Who knows!

Back up Plans
This weekend, we have plans. It is the first weekend in about a month that we actually have scheduled things to do. I've been enjoying the laziness of the weekends and not having to go anywhere, but this weekend we were ready! The circus is in town! I took Little Hauss last year and he loved it. We only stayed for half of it because it was so late, but he was mesmerized! I was hoping that we'd be able to go this weekend and he could last for the whole show. I'm not even sure if we'll make it!
They are calling for more snow! MORE???? I've had enough this year. Plenty. I'm ready for sunshine and flip flops! We are predicted to get about 3-8 inches. It is supposed to start tomorow afternoon and get heavier overnight tapering off on Saturday afternoon. LH is so excited about the circus he keeps asking if its Friday yet! We had to level with him and make sure he understood that it could possibly snow and we might not go. He then asks how our friends will get to our house for dinner (we were going to have them over before to eat and then all go to the circus together). So cute. I have been trying to get him to understand that they might not be able to depending on the snow. Its a play it by ear situation, which he is completely unaware of what that means.
So, our back up plan is to have an indoor picnic and watch movies. We will try to make it fun for him and make him forget that there was even a circus to go to!
I'm still holding out hope that we will get to go and the snow will be minimal until later on in the night!

Moo
I ate beef. Twice - dinner and leftovers for lunch today! I LOVE red meat and eat it fairly often - probably more than recommended, but who's counting. Just lately, I haven't been into it! I even cooked it!!
I did have to go home to take a nap at lunch or I wouldn't have made it through the evening! Oh well, hopefully this phase of fatigue will end soon and I'll be out of my "funk" like Hubby calls it!
I reminded him ever so politely (as polite as a preganant woman with raging hormones could be) that my body was busy creating a human being so back off!

Perking Up
I'm starting to feel better. Not 100%, but a considerable improvement. I ate a real meal last week and even cooked over the weekend. I can't say I did much else, but that wore me out anyway, so there wasn't much energy left for other stuff!
I am enjoying my mornings a bit more and not gagging at the thought of brushing my teeth, so that's a positive, however, I do feel like I can't get my mouth clean enough. It is the oddest thing. I brush about 2 or 3 times in the morning before I ever leave the house, then I constantly chew gum and eat breath mints all day at work. I brush another 2 or 3 times at night. I can't figure it out but its a cotton mouth feel almost. This is something I definitely did not have with my first pregnancy!
I am finally eating meat again. Not much, but the thought of it isn't repulsive, and I even cooked chicken. I ate it too. I still prefer carbs, fruits and veggies rather than meat. Hubby is not liking this phase because rarely have I made anything of substance for dinner. Apparently mashed potatoes and salad are not a complete meal! I'm working on it. I am working on planning a menu for this week and hope to stick to it - but first I need to get to the store. I'm excited about shopping because we've been using up stuff in our freezer and pantry this month and haven't really needed a ton of stuff, but Kroger is having a huge sale and I have tons of great coupons to pair up with it, so I should be able to stock up for fairly cheap!
