Super Cute!
Today was Josiah's first lunch buddies day at preschool. That means I had till 1:oo to do what I wanted. Of course all I ended up doing was a whole bunch of running around and errands. I had to do some photocopying, take recalled items back to Target, run out to NCO (I had a trunk full of diapers to deliver), and find some mat board for an auction donation. Between those stops I also stopped at boarders, office depot, christian supply, and marshalls. I was a bad girl. I know I have a ton of stuff for the baby, but I couldn't resist. I was just looking at all the little girl clothes when I saw the shirt. I saw it, and almost said out loud, "that is super cute!" It a shirt that screams, "wear me for super cute photos." I had to get it. Besides, it's blue and green, not pink or purple. What was really funny was that when I went to find the price, I found the tag first. The tag says, "Super-cute Carter's." I guess Carter's and I think alike.

Be nice, Mr.
Today, I am even wearing a shirt that makes me look pregnant. Can't you see that I am struggling with this 150lb costco cart full of costco goods? I'm doing my best. I'm sorry I'm currently walking in front of a parking space which you would like to claim. But do you really have to honk at me like that? Can we have a few seconds of patience for the 8+ month prego who just spent an hour walking through Costco and is now exhausted and trying to just get to her car?
Sing with me!
"Have patience, have patience, don't be in such a hurry. When you get inpatient, you only start, to worry. Remember, remember, that God is patient too. And think of all the other times when others wait for you."

jury summons
I have been summoned for jury duty next month. Sure, let's put a 39+ week preggie on a jury. I can see it now... I think I shall have to pass.

I love preschool!
This morning I dropped Josiah off at preschool. Then I went to Freddy's all by myself. It only took half an hour. Not having a 3 yr old in tow is amazing. Then I went home. I relaxed a bit. Then spent an hour with an open Bible and e-sword. No kidding. A whole uninterupted hour studing God's Word. Unpresidented! I'm glad he seems to be enjoying it as well.

Calm down, Josiah.
Yesterday, Wes asked Josiah about his first day of preschool. Josiah responds by running into the kitchen and screaming "I don't love daddy" for 20 minutes.
Ten minutes ago he got up from a nap. He is sitting on the bathroom floor bawling. First of all, he's a big boy and can pull his own undies up. Second of all, I can't help if he won't stand up. And so he screams "I don't like to stand up anymore." I wonder how long he will scream and cry.

so frustrated
What the heck!? I just got a call from the Dr's office. They have to cancel one of my appointments. It's the only one I could get when my Dr was in the office. So now I have to reschedule with another Dr. I have spent 8 months building a repore with this Dr. Now she's not going to be in the office during my last weeks of pregnancy. I had to schedule all my other final appointments with other Drs. I don't get it. This is the most important time when we talk about the delivery and all that stuff and she's not going to be around. Is she even going to be delivering my baby? I don't know! I don't know what's going on. I'm freaking frustrated!
Hope
I've been going through lots of old photos. Some I've found for posting for Ethnos. Currently, I'm looking for pictures to upload to my favorite developer. I've got a ton of photo frames that need filled. As well as several Josiah scrapbooks that need updated. But, just now, I found this one. It struck me. Seems like so many are struggling with finding hope in life.

Preschool
Josiah started preschool today. He seems to have had a good time. At first he didn't want to tell me anything about his day, but once we got home he started talking.
He played at the train table with one new friend.
He had goldfish and juice for snack.
He played on the playground.
He drew a big smile on his apple coloring sheet.
They looked at the calender and talked about what day it is today. "Today is just two ones."
We had a couple interesting conversations after preschool.
Mom: Did your teacher read a story?
Josiah: No. She just read two stories. One about a mouse and one about a pig. They're just like the ones on my bookshelf in my bedroom.
Mom: Oh. Did she read If You Give a Pig a Pancake and If You Give a Mouse a Cookie?
Josiah: Um, Yep.
Mom: Did you obey your teachers?
Josiah: No.
Mom: How come?
Josiah: Because I didn't want to clean up. I just wanted to keep playing.
Mom: You know that you're supposed to obey your teachers.
Josiah: I'll just obey them when I go back on the next day.
Josiah: No mom, you're just supposed to sit like this.
Mom: Is that how your teacher showed you how to sit?
Josiah: Yah, we just sit like this.
Mom: Did your teacher call that "criss cross apple sauce"?
Josiah: Um, yep.
Mom: Are you going to sit like that.
Josiah: No. Just at preschool.

He loves me
One of Josiah's favorite things to do is transform my couches. It's okay when it's just one or when I'm not pregnant or sick. But I hate it when the entire living room becomes a circus train. Then when the circus tent is erected, I completly loose my living room. Yesterday, our house was in just such a state.
Last night, Wes and I were discussing some things. So when we went to bed his mind was still working, so he couldn't sleep. He got up and decided that while he was up he would put my living room back together. When I got up this morning, I had couches. Where did they come from? The couch fairy? That's when I realized that Wes must have gotten back up after I fell asleep. Then I saw the circus tent. It was built in the newly formed children's area of our living room. It is the best tent ever. So Josiah is also very happy. He has a circus tent. The most spacious one he has ever had to play in. The blankets also extend onto the train table. So he has a very, very dark tunnel too. He loves it!
I guess he loves us both!

life happenings
This past week we've been busy and sick.
Saturday we went to the circus. We took Josiah's favorite mode of transport, tri-met. We went an hour early to the interactive pre show. Josiah was ready to head home after the tigers performed which was close to intermission. I think he had a good time, but I think it was a bit over stimulating. Josiah has always been easily overstimulated. There was always something going on, so I think it was a bit much. Josiah learned two things. One, elephants eat apples (specifially apples belonging to clowns). Two, tigers can roll over. It was way over priced, everything from the tickets which were almost $75 for the three of us, to the $7 we spent on water to avoid dehydration.
Sunday Wes ran sound at the Ethnos gathering. So we left home at about 2 and got to head home at 7:45. Of course we didn't go home. We went to dinner.
Monday we realized that we were coming down with colds. We spent a good portion of our day enjoying the sunshine at home.
Tuesday Wes stayed home from work, but put in a full day telecommuting. Josiah and I spent the morning/early afternoon out. I didn't feel well and didn't really want to go. But I realized that Wes could work better without us there the whole time. So we went to the Waste Management Metro South Center. There we ditched 20 years worth of paint that we inherited from previous home owners. We also got rid of florecent light bulbs and batteries. We had to turn around in the home depot parking lot, so we just decided to make a stop there. I bought the workings for the utility room shelves that I've been wanting for 4+ years now. You may wonder why we didn't go to the closer WM metro station. That would be because my parents live just a couple miles from the South station. So our next stop was at the family home. My parents weren't home, but Josiah and I scowered the garden for a few ears of corn to take home. We also found ourselves a snack before heading home to a very late lunch. Tuesday evening I put up the first half of the shelving.
Wednesday our colds were worse, but we had lots to do. Wes worked from home again. Isn't it nice of him not to share? Josiah and I made a trip to Costco to get out of the house. We also stopped at the dollar tree to round out supplies for Josiah's birthday party. Then I bought Josiah his bi-monthly happy meal. We got home and I just had time to unload our groceries and get a quick shower. I was exhausted. Off to the Dr's office we went for our 34 week appointment. The Dr was 45 minutes late and only spent 15 minutes with us. I now know why I prefer morning appointments, they aren't running late yet. Nothing new to report on the baby front. After my Dr appointment I got to go through my Creative Memories order that arrived that afternoon. Then, that evening I put up the other half of my utility shelving. I spent the night hacking my lungs out.
Today, Thursday, Wes is working from home again. I feel like crap. I had originally planned to take Josiah to NCO today since it is his last Thursday to do so, he'll be at preschool in the future weeks. But, it didn't happen. I just wasn't up to doing anything today. Although I've been doing quite a bit around the house. I've gotten my CM customer orders sorted, put away yesterday's Costco run, and done some cleaning. I've also taken several breaks from life. Did I mention that I feel like crap? It sucks to be preggo and sick at the same time. I can't take anything for this congestion.
I am praying that we will be well tomorrow...
