Today's Thoughts

My house is a mess.

we switched over to paper and plastic-ware, and yet the kitchen still looks and smells BAD

EVERYTHING smells bad. Even the little boy next door who usually smells like baby powder.

the garbage can is overflowing with paperware

I've spent a lot of time in bed this week.

I've read five books in as many days. Each book has been over 300 pages.

I hate food. I don't want to eat anymore....I just don't enjoy the experience.

I need to eat more so I don't feel so sick....ugggg!

I love the new bed sheets Chris bought me for my birthday.

I feel like I'm neglecting my children. They spend all day in front of our Netflix television, eating halloween candy.

I think I'm 10 weeks along now. Meaning I'm that much closer to feeling better, maybe, and that much closer to finding out the gender of our baby.

I still haven't met my doctor. My first appointment isn't for another week and a half.

I'm always cold....unless I'm dying of heat.

I can't stand the thought of eating meat. I prefer citrus fruit, in liquid form.

I'm really craving Jamba juice or Roebeck's, but all they have here is Orange Julius.

I don't remember what it feels like to NOT feel sick.

Why can't I just sleep through the next two months?

I don't sleep very well. Probably because I'm in bed all day.

If you see me, I may not look like I'm feeling this sick. I try really hard to hide it.

I feel blessed to be having this baby. I just don't want to feel this way anymore.


In other news: I have pictures of my birthday and halloween. Maybe someday I'll get around to posting them.

I went to Parent/Teacher conference yesterday and learned that Landon is reading at an early second grade level. We're not sure he's really comprehending everything he reads, though. His teacher says he's being happier in class and understanding what she wants from him more. But his attention span is really short and he gets frustrated very easily. Also, after getting off the shuttle on Tuesday, he walked up to her and told her "I missed you Miss Freeland!" she said she got a little choked up about it....so I know she doesn't hate my child. That's the best news of all!

Wow Laura! I'm sorry and happy at the same time that you are sick. I hope it passes soon. I also wish I was there to cook for you, I love to fatten people up. So glad about Landon and school. We had good and informative parent teacher conference too. I love the teachers! It's been a really interesting to see where my kids are struggling and excelling. We'll miss you for the holidays!

I want to echo vbpeacock's sentiments. I am so glad that you are pregnant, but so sorry you are not feeling well. Hang in there! This too shall pass!

Oh, by the way, if you want to try to make your own smoothie this is what I like.

pineapple or orange juice
10-12 ice cubes
banana
4 or 5 strawberries
1/2 cup of yogurt
1/4 cup sugar ( sherbet also works excellent)

(frozen fruit also works great)
I'll sometimes add blueberries, kiwi, raspberries...it all works pretty well together)

The secret is the citrus juice, a lot of ice and sherbet. I think pineapple sherbet works the best.

Hopefully you have a blender. :)
