Week 9

Week 9 happenings:

No work this week! I love being on a school schedule!!!!  I was able to get lots of sleep and enjoy some fun time with friends!  It is important to note that (p.s. if you have a weak stomach don't read on) my first morning sickness "vomit" happened Tuesday... So glad that Zofran is allowed for prego women!  I went shopping with My friend Margie and her 1 year old twin girls! They are so beautiful... everyone stops and comments on their cuteness... It was really fun to push the double wide stroller and pretend like I was their mommy! hehe!!! I did purchase my first belly band (Thank you Target for having them on sale!)... I only have to wear it with my skinny jeans for now though... I gained a pound this week.... I blame Thanksgiving!    I also experienced a pretty crazy prego mood swing driving to Houston Wednesday night,

 INSERT LONG STORY HERE:

 it was due to hunger and the need to pee, but the other drivers should have known that I was prego and gotten out of my way...right???  No, I didn't hit anyone, just scared Brad enough to think that I wanted too! HaHa!  I would like to say that once I got to stop and pee that I felt better, but thats when I realized that my stall was out of TP and I had to call out to the line of people (which I also had to wait in) to pass me some under the door... Then of course, no soap in the dispenser and no Paper Towels.... O well, I knew that a number 1 from Wendy's would fix my mood swing at first bite... However, they decided to give me half of a burger patty instead of the full square... What the HECK!!!!  Sweet Brad offered me his chicken nuggets, but I was to stubborn to accept... So thus my mood swing continued, especially when we were at a dead stop on highway 45...I tried to be understanding and told myself that some idiot probably got in an accident and I should feel bad for them.... But as the minutes passed and the miles did not, that feeling of understanding left me, only to find out later that there was no accident (Praise God really), only idiots on the road...I leaned back my chair and closed my eyes and when I woke up my mood swing was over!  Sorry Brad... I really do love you!!!!

I realized that I am craving a few things from my childhood this week, in particular, Salami Sandwich (description: paper thin sliced salami from the grocery deli on sliced french bread... Delicious!!!!) and Ginger Ale... Yummy!!!

Until next week...Eat and be Merry!
