The Reign of Betty Prevails

My subconscious is getting louder.

And Sophie has officially moved out. Betty has set up permanent residence.

I am settling down for the long haul. This baby isn't going anywhere for a while.

She does need to come soon, but that is another story for another day.

As I tread water in this whirlpool I call life, and the laundry and dishes pile up over top of me, I find short cuts.

This is what we had for dinner last night.



Don't judge. It has been a hard week.

But its okay. I get to see this every day, which makes it all worth it.

Betty is in charge over here too! Although she does let me bake cookies, as long as I promise not to wash any more dishes than absolutely necessary!

We eat cereal a lot around here because Alicey will actually eat it and Brian's always on some crazy diet so he cooks his own food and I'd just as soon eat cereal with Alicey then dirty another dish. Oh to have a dish washer. And any time you want help with couponing come on over. I'm happy to help. It's a lot harder since Albertson's was sold, though. They had the best deals!!

No judging here. If I had my druthers that would be dinner every night. Maybe that's why my husband has taken over the cooking.

You rest up!

Wow, Betty sure gets around. She visits me quite often. She's been here all week actually. So I'm confused...are you being induced tomorrow? I'll pray that it goes well for you!

Take care and congrats in advance!

Everyone has bad days! And yeah, a cute smile can change it all. You know, it had been a long time since I last visited your blog and yesterday, I was wondering if your baby was out yet. I guess, not. Well someday she will and that would be worth everything you are going through!!

:) Always be happy, 'cos worse things could have happened!! :)

May I Take Your Order, Please?

I know that young people must have jobs. They have to start somewhere, but really, there has got to be some sort of intelligence test or guidelines before hiring people. Really. We bought some crown molding a while ago. I thought we would have enough. Turns out, as we were getting ready to put it up, we found we are about 5 ln feet short. Just 5. How annoying is that? So, I called Lowes and ended up speaking with a young man (I am guessing hoping he was young). The conversation amazed me. Me: "Hi do you carry any Trim-Tex crown molding?" Lowes: "What's that?" "A brand of crown molding. We are a couple of feet short." "Is that like a brand of baseboard?" "Well, yeah, sort of. Crown molding is decorative wood strip that goes along the ceiling." "Oh, okay. So what kind of tile do you need?" "Tile?" "To go along the ceiling, right?" "Uh, I don't need tile. I need crown molding."

Vegetarians at the Barbecue

We don't see our friends as often as we would like.  Something about us being the only ones married and with kids.  Whatever.  So any chance to have them all come play is a welcome one.  Since Jeffrey just had a birthday, we decided to have a barbecue tonight. We are having a barbecue and we don't eat meat.  Kind of ironic, isn't it?  When I thought about it, this video came to mind.

The End of This Chapter

Last night the quiet of the house was heaven. After a full day of the park, the library and the kids at their grandparents house while Jeffrey and I went up to take care of our rental house, lease signing, moving out inspection and repairs, we were all very tired. The children were finally nestled into their dreams, and I sat with Jeffrey, my head resting on his shoulder, his hand caressing my arm, just visiting. We talked about the children.   We talked about school. We talked about our rental house. And our plans for the future. As we sat thus, formulating plans and dreams, we had a rude awakening. More so me. Because Jeffrey is so calm and even keeled.  He balances me perfectly. While I stress and worry, he is there to patiently and softly guide me through the storms of my frustrations and mostly imagined hardships. Last night was a perfect example. We received the news. The dreaded and anticipated and longed for news. And it came in the form of an email from a
