season of insanity or just preggers?

part of me wants to blame all of this on simply being pregnant, but since my mother-in-law did something very similar perhaps we should just blame it on the season..... i ordered my husband some christmas gifts on-line because i found some free shipping and i was not sure the local store would have it in stock. easy enough.... click, send, finished with hubbie. not so fast. got my confirmation email that it was being shipped three day and only then did i notice that in fact the package was being sent to florida. i had forgotten to change the shipping address from when i order some florida destination gifts two weeks ago. argh!!!

well to throw my mother-in-law under the bus, she sent me some hand-me-down clothes for micah from my sister-in-law.....of course she was just as excited as i was to click, send, be finished with that package until she realized (the next day) that she had shipped it to my other sister-in-law in st. louis who is not expecting a boy but in fact expecting a girl.... what a debacle of shipping.

all of this in the midst of trying to ship packages to california when i can't find boxes long enough without being the depth of the ocean. i mailed two packages last tuesday, three day priority....one got there on friday and one got there on monday. ARGH!!!! what is the point of trying to get packages there early for my mom to hand-deliver for me ahead of time if it fails to work.... oh well. it now becomes my mom's problem to deliver before she comes on wednesday.....

happy holidays.

and we will be out numbered....

as of monday, i am through my first trimester with sweet baby #3. the sweet children will out number the adults come the beginning of march. as john likes to comment about my day to day coping skills, "her body is betraying her" as i adjust to pregnancy and surviving with two small children. i still can't find our flash drive to upload pictures....i'll work on it. it requires clearing off the computer desk which exists in the middle of the living room due to the plaster/drywall work being done to patch up the hole from the toilet leak. supposedly the new hardwood floors are supposed to arrive this week.....which means we could potentially move out of the office and back into our bedroom in a couple of weeks!!! the small pleasures in life!

more tidbits

i find it interesting....... .......how the two boys are in sync already. apparently we had not weathered the worst of operation big boy-no paci....he cried for almost an hour. what we thought would be an early bedtime was not....then asher (who was supposed to sleep until 2) woke up at midnight only to be followed by big brother 10 minutes later "scared." .......how 20 & 30 years olds (including myself) walk around the locker room delicately covered up by the towel that is slightly too small to cover my rumpus..... and yet the 50 & 60 years old strut around with no shame. nora ephron claims that the things that we things we hate about out bodies in our 20s will be the things we long for in our 50s. funny how that works...maybe i'll lose my abandon and sit in the sauna naked as a jaybird..... naw!!! .......how fun sitting on the kitchen counter while daddy cooks is for a two year old. .......how much i want to cut my hair. .......how excited i am to have gott...
