quick update.

laundry is in the dryer. word count is 18217. this kid is due in 3 and a half weeks. where did all my time go... *falls asleep on desk*

So tired.

As mentioned before, my kids are sick this week. As am I. My husband doesn't seem to be yet. But due to work he's either sleeping or AT work, so isn't of much help in this instance anyway. And I'm getting worn. I felt so bad when I sent my sick and tired girl right back up after she came down the stairs complaining yet again about something not being perfect for her bedtime (it was the blankets this time around). I'm just to pregnant, overworked, ill and tired to go up and down the stairs over and over. Part of me says "Hey suck it up! She's sick and needs her Mommy." and another part (the one that won tonight) says "She's six dude, she can straighten her own blankets, and you've already tucked her in, twice." Sometimes I really would like to be Wonder Woman...but I've had to let that go. Don't think I could stay sane if I didn't.(I may still try to get a pair of her very awesome, fashionable and functional indestructible bracelets tho.)

In NaNo news. I'm at 13,741 words. As my beloved Muppets say "moving right along." :)

Evil Weather

What is with this wackado season? Can anyone tell me? It's mid November and we're having like 50 to 60 degree weather. It's not right. And it's messing with my system. My whole household is sick, everyone I talk to is sick. I lost 2 days of Nano to sickness. I just got over some odd flu, stomach thing, and now I think I'm getting the strep my daughter has. I've had it. I don't know if it's Global warming or what, but it's got to stop. You hear me Mother Nature?! I'm talking to you lady! Knock it off already. Pick a damn season and stick with it you wishy-washy female you! :p (OK so being sick doesn't bring out the mature in me. So sue me.) I'm at 11928 words in Nano which is 3077 BEHIND where I'm supposed to be. Fooy Fooy Fooy! That's right I said Fooy and I meant Fooy! Fooy!

ung.

I think that this pregnancy is finally starting to get to me. At 35 weeks along I'm starting to feel like my feet are dragging all the time. Today especially. For the first time in forever I turned of my alarm and DIDN'T get out of bed, causing me to fall back asleep and not wake up until 8:30 when my daughter was supposed to be in school. So doing my best to get her out the door in decent time and get her fed and ready as well, I went to my husband to ask if he could watch the boy for 15 minutes so I didn't have to haul him along. I got some long whiny story about only having 5 hours of sleep, so had to take the extra time to bundle to squirming boy-o and haul him out to the van... that's getting harder and harder to do. The rest of the day went in a like fashion for some reason. I think it's cuz the late waking just threw my schedule. But on a high note, I'm at 8466 words for NaNo and while I'm horribly tired, I'm very excited for my baby shower tomorrow. So my bedtime now. Here's hoping I don't sleep in again and do manage to get my house clean for company. :)

It has begun.

Yes! NaNoWriMo is here. I have been waiting forever for this day. (OK only a year) But seriously, I love it. Already today I have ignored the pick up and the vacuuming, the sweeping and moping, to sit at the computer in our dungeon of a basement and type my first 1490 words while my son has slept. I type this as his first squeaks of wakefulness eke over the monitor. Waiting impatiently for the NaNo site to load, let me sign in and record my glorious accomplishment. Poor over worked and loved NaNo site I feel for you. I really do. All of us insane typists vieing for your attention in our mad quest to write 50,000 words in just one short month. Chaos! But oh the joy! Oh the glory you bring!
This year I must be diligent and on top of my game. There is no knowing when this 3rd child may choose to join the haphazardness that is our household. Soooo... *fingers crossed* I'll get my 50,000 in before he gets OUT. *grins*
