Here, here!

It's been a while (almost a month) since I've made a post, with work, the kids, extra curricular activities, homework, time seems to be flying by! We are getting into the final month of this pregnancy, and I'm probably the most excited, as these past 2/3 weeks have been tough, I can't really complain, from about week 12 on it was great, I felt pretty good, just a little tired, but now that this kid has pretty much staked claim on my entire mid section, I'm getting a little miserable.. Jerod asked me the other day if I complain at work as much as I do at home, I told him yes, I work with women, they sympathize ALOT (I tried to tell him we take it out the most on the ones we love the most!) He's been a real trooper though, he always feels sorry for me, and he's been helping out extra and as much as he can around the house. I also feel blessed because the girls are old enough to appreciate that they need to help me out around the house and also be a little self sufficient, Kenzie even made grilled cheese sandwiches for supper tonight, followed by cut out cookies (premade dough, but all the same, she got them on the pan & in the oven)

The girls and I have started drama club practices, I'm directing a play called the Gingerbread Girl (it's sort of an updated, softer version of Frankenstein) with 10, 1st & 2nd graders in it (crazy thing to do in the middle of having a baby) but our performance isn't until March 12th, so I'm confident in my students that they will memorize their lines. Kenzie & Taylor are participating in the Drama Club for 3rd - 5th grade students, their play is "Snew White" and Kenzie got the part of the Magic Mirror, while Taylor got the part of "Rose Red" who is the sister of "Snew White". So the past few weeks have been spent practicing lines in our house whenever their is free time.

Next weekend, Jerod has convinced the two older girls to race their mini snowmobile on a small Lake in Gresham at the annual Radar Run, I'll be a nervous wreck if I even go watch them, but they can only go 15 mph, so I know they'll do just fine.

We're gearing up for Taylor's birthday weekend (Valentine's Day) as we'll head to Green Bay for Disney on Ice, 100 years of Disney Magic..If we can't afford to go to Disneyworld every year, this is at least a slice of Disney that works!

Hope everyone in cyberworld is well, we officially have 4 weeks and 5 days left, I'm wishful thinking this child to come early, but in my case...that never happens so I won't hold my breath!

just remind jerod that he has to listen to you complain because he got to be apart of the fun making this baby and if he wants to be a part of the fun without making a baby again, he will gladly listen to you complain.
