Home and work...

A lot has been going on lately.  Happy to be feeling better and back to normal so I can actually get stuff done around the house.  Have managed to paint all but one room in the house since July and am getting the backyard turned into an actual place I want to spend time instead of a blank, over sunny square.  Dad Wardman has been here from England the last two weeks and has really put a dent in things that needed to be done around the house.  The upstairs has actually been turned into a room now and a new shed has been put in the backyard to house the scooters and bikes that have been taking up my entire utility room and storage area as well as scooter parts strewn around the guest room.  Ahhh, I smell organization and that makes me extremely happy.  I squeeled with delight at being able to get to the washing machine without having to move around heavy objects just to see it.  

Into my 5th month of pregnancy now and will "hopefully " find out if it's a boy, girl or just a cute monkey on 11/3.  My mom will be in town Sunday so she will get to come with us.  I haven't seen her since before we were pregnant.  My sister obviously doesn't care that a tot is on the way.  No acknowledgement at all.  No mom here and no sister.  Thank goodness for friends, otherwise I think I would have gone crazy by now.  Corrie has been helping me at The Gardens and that has been a huge relief.  I'm trying to get back into the hang of things and respond to e-mails and keep in touch.  I don't know why it's so hard for me right now.  

Heading home now to clean a little and get a good nights sleep.  O'Malley kept me up last night and Oscar insisted on jumping on my belly in the middle of the night.  I love our pets. : /

Times, they are a changin'

Well, well, well.  Am I ready for life as a mother?  That is highly debatable.  At 39, I was not aware that the last few years would change my life so much.  Marriage, and now a child.  Officially starting my 3rd month and everything is ok so far-other than the baby sucking the life out of me and making me sick.  I'm amazed that something so damn small can effect me so much.  I am excited and frightened all at the same time.  How will I run a business and a household.  Women all over the world do it so why does it freak me out so much.  The words of my bride last weeks keep running through my mind. "Well, my florist can't do my flowers now because she went and got pregnant".  Well, she is going to have to deal with me as well.  Will this deter couples from getting married here if they know that the coordinator will be full on pregnant for their wedding? I guess I will take it one day at a time.  To take my mind off of it I will submerge myself in sleep.  I REALLY like sleep lately.   

Right now, I have Dolly Parton songs running through my head without explanation.  It's not as if I have seen 9 to 5 lately or have witnessed one of the ladies across the street at the retirement home come out with a new coif, so it's starting to get annoying.  I need to put on some Abba.
