Fast Running Mommy

Nice and slow....felt okay today hoping for no sore legs.

Good news...my kids woke up early by themselves today..I've been trying to get them on an earlier schedule  so we can get everything we need to during the day done and still have time for important things like cleaning, scriptures, and some family fun at night.

I had the worst day playing the organ yesterday. I fumbled over the notes and then I put the wrong registration on for the postlude and sounded like a bass drum. The other organist came up and abruptly told me what I had done wrong. She was trying to be helpful I'm sure but it was just the edge I needed to send me into a crying fit. I stopped playing(everyone was gone anyway) and left through the side door. As soon as I was starting into a good cry another woman came out and said she felt prompted to come outside. She is this cool Native American woman in our ward that is really spiritual. We talked about kids and husbands and how to take criticism....and I felt a little better.  

just a little over 4 weeks. I can't wait to meet William...I'm considering a water birth again. I didn't like floating around in the water when I delivered Julia but this tub is really small and so you get the benefits of reduced pain without the floating.  I just remembered  almost involuntarily (because I had decided to not do a water birth again) that Julia's water birth was less painful and I pushed her out faster...we'll see... 

uneventful 2....I'm just trying to run as slow as I can now so I can make it through the rest of my day.  

I'm thinking of trying to rope my brothers and sisters into pitching in to buy my Mom a nice piece of jewelry for Christmas. She likes sparkly things. Have any of you ever bought one of those Mother's rings with everyone's birthstones on them? Maybe if I can't talk them into it for Christmas, I'll start working on them for Mother's Day.  

Got to go on the trail. First time I"ve been on it since I slowed down...a walker passed me today.  have a pre-natal vsit tomorrow. Can't wait to see if the baby has decided to stop being posterior..I can't tell..bet my midwife can. 

2..nobody passed me today...ha! That's because nobody else walks or wogs around and around my block. Have any of you ever checked out facebook? A bunch of my high school friends have found each other on it and it is giving me a headache.  Years ago I decided I wouldn't watch Oprah anymore (she had some porno stuff on her show one time...women in lingerie...crazy stuff)..so she was forever boycotted from my life. Recently I went even further and decided she must have just completely sold her soul to the devil...her magazines creeeep me out. Harsh? maybe? justified..hmmmm.....So Oprah's picture keeps popping up all over the place on facebook and ugh....I just don't like it.

I have a super busy day ahead of me which I'm slowing going to get to...I'm off to make zuchinni .....no matter how many times I look that dang word up I can't remember how to spell it!!!!!!!!!.....then do a bit of homeschooling before we head off the the natural gas station (only annoying thing about natural gas is you have to plan your trips carefully), the dentist, the midwife, the "coolest" park for lunch, some stores to kill some time before my appointment to look at pianos that the Alpine school district is selling...and hopefully I can find one that Sasha will let me buy. :)....
 

Someone called the cops on our street about some teenagers disturbing the peace. So when the cop saw two figures clinging to eachother in the dark of the early morning he must have thought he found his teenagers making out. Too bad it turned out to be me and Sasha. I was having such bad pelvic pain this morning that I couldn't even move. Sasha came to my rescue and I held onto him for a second...until we were rudely disturbed by a police car parking in front of us with his headlights in our faces. He got out and I guess couldn't tell how old we were or what we were doing for a second....when he determined we weren't the troublemakers, asked us to keep our eye out for them. Sasha ended up having to get the car to drive me home today. I'm going to try and go out again because I'm sure those weren't contractions now and see if Mr. Willy Billy Boo has decided to move his head up a bit and let Mom walk.

Sasha's probably still laughing about the cop thing and I know he's still laughing about what happened to us in the temple last night. As we were walking up he said that people were always thinking he was going to have his first child. I scoffed at that comment and said nobody would think that anymore. Near the end of the sealing session, the sealer asked us, "Is this your first child?" Sasha and I couldn't help burst out laughing thinking of our earlier conversation.... I looked him straight in the eye and said, "Sixth!" You should have seen the look on his face! Nice to stay in shape and keep young! Good day to everyone out there in blogging land.

I ended up getting a mile in....feeling okay just a little stressed because I've got Juila's b-day party today and my kids seem to think I'm a robot on their birthdays....maybe we need to slow things down on birthdays and talk about how mommy's 8 months pregnant are not robots.

Nice and easy..challenged some guys from my ward to a race...they said maybe I could beat them this morning..must have been sleepy bunnys. 

I'm so looking forward to the next month..my nesting urges can finally be realized. No more camping trips, yard sales, b-day parties (i've done two in the last month) or anything else but finishing up whatever it is I want to before the baby comes.

I think I'm going to freeze some peach sauce today. Much easier than canning....so I'm off to Wal-mart for ziplock bags and whatever else I may need. Then we can finish up Halloween costumes....I'm excited because I'm going to let Jenny do most of the sewing on her skirt. I dont' know why my Mom didn't teach me to sew. I've had to figure it out as an adult and although I've come a long way I'll probably never be as good as my mom.
