Snow Day in the South

Well, as most of you around this part can see, we are having the worst winter weather since the year has started. But, technically we have only been in 2010 for 29 days so we still have more chances of crappy dribble in the next month or so to come. Great! ( that was sarcasm if you couldn't tell). I went to the grocery store this morning in opts of getting everything I needed that I couldn't get at Sam's. I have been watching the "wonderful" meteorologists all week in preparation for my shopping trip. i wanted to plan to where I got everything in a timely manor, save the money i could with store savings and coupons, then I would be set to sit in the house all weekend and enjoy being lazy and warm. THANKS, Mr. Wrong meteorologists who told me it would not hit here for hours and as i was pulling out of my driveway, the bottom-less sleet decided to shine its awful head on the Toney area. At least I had everything in order of a list and all my coupons out! I get to the store and find out there are others there with the same mentality as I had and were very upset at the outcome! I rush to get out the store and the snow fall begins. Probably the biggest snowflakes I have ever seen!! Amazing what God's wonderful hand can create. If I was a kid, I would have been giddy. But as an adult who had to drive the 30 mph. home in it, I was not as pleased. I safely made it home but then had to unload all of my stuff in this freezing beauty! UGH!! Oh well, that's life. I did do great at the store. Saved around $35.00 so i think I did pretty well. Now I am just sitting here watching t.v. and hoping that everyone I know is being careful out there on the roads! My husband is one of them and i worry constantly about him anyways so now I have almost broke all of my nails off in concern for his safety. He is one of the best drivers i know but there are so many bad drivers out there that it terrifies me! Please keep everyone in your prayers today!! I am blessed he is out there risking it for his job that provides for us and our unborn little one!! I will feel a little better around 5 when should be getting home. ( Hopefully maybe earlier) Well, I guess I will get off here and finish watching "You've Got Mail", which happens to be a movie that I seem to watch over and over again. I think I have seen it a million times!! I send safety and love out there to all of you!! TTYL!!

Another Day

So, the pregnancy is moving along as scheduled or at least that is what I am told by the Dr. Thank goodness, b/c I always had this fear of a troubled one and so far I have been lucky. So much is going on and there is so much left to do and if you know me, you know how I worry over everything!! Hopefully, as my sweet husband keeps telling me, everything will fall into place and will get done in due time. Oh how I wish I could be that laid back and calm. Life would be so much enjoyable to me, but in some ways I think I feed off the chaos in my life!? Does that sound anything close to normal in any way? I know I am not normal but I don't want to be so out there that I'm extremely strange ya know?! In other news, I have the Baby's crib ordered and should be here in about 4 weeks. How exciting it all is getting!! Now just to decorate the room, and get her letters, and all the other stuff before she arrives!! Oh how busy am I going to be!! I had this strange dream last night that i ended up having a boy instead of the predicted girl!! Now i am super freaked about finishing up her room!! What if it is a boy and I have to re-do everything? What am I going to do? I have stressed so much on doing a little girl's room that I have put no more thought into a little boys!! And I wont get the 4D ultrasound done til March and to me that is putting it a little too close for comfort, don't ya think? Well, time for me to get off here and see what else I can get done before D gets home and we head out for groceries! Oh the life of a stay-at-home wife,( and mother-to-be)! Haha.

Welcome!

I just want to start off by saying Thanks if you are reading this. I didn't start this to have a following or anything, just a place to where my thoughts could go and if anybody wanted to read, then they would have the opportunity. So many things are going on right now its kind of hard on where to begin. Daniel and I are expecting our first child here at the end of May. Yes, that is only like 4.5 months away!! And yes, we are not ready at all. I haven't bought one single "need" item yet. I disappoint myself every time I think about it. I have always thought of myself as a planner, and this is a major planning thing and I haven't even started. Its like I am so overwhelmed that i am just washing my hands of it for now. " Like, I will get to it later." I can't wait til later!! She will be here in less than 5 months and I have nothing!! I have always been confident in the fact I knew kids. I mean, I have been babysitting since I was 14. I have even had friends who had kids tell me I knew more about kids than they did!! Now my own will be here in no time and I am scared & nervous that I don't know what to do. How crazy?! So many options of stuff and different people say different things that I have no idea what to listen to or what is best for my baby. I hope these jitters leave soon, I have too much other stuff on my mind as well. I lost my job back before Christmas. I'm pretty sure it was because I'm pregnant, but I won't say that entirely. Now I have been tossing around the thought of going to nursing school. I am an EMT already and enjoy it so I thought it may be the next step. I have researched it and I can get it done in a year if I stick to it full time. Its just the fact if we could afford me going to school with a baby here. I am praying about it and whatever God's plan is, I will do. I could always go back to work somewhere but I kinda want to go back to school. I started back in August and quit in October b/c my Dr. thought it was best I wait til after the baby got here before I did the program. I know I could go back and do that if I wanted. I mean I had the highest grade in the class for almost the whole time I was there. I am pretty good at school if I set myself to it and I know I would be a good nurse. I know people that are nurses and I wondered how they ever made it through nursing school because they didn't seem to grasp on to the material. I have faith that I can and I have been told I would make a great nurse. Whatever happens will happen and God won't give us more than what we can handle. I have a supporting husband, family and friends so i know we will be OK. I will write more at a later date. Gotta get this baby girl's room ready! Hope you all have a blessed day!
