2011....

OMG...2011 Seriously has been kicking our butt for what a week now.

(This is one CRANKY update...I'm assuming I'll look back on this in a few months and blame it on my 'about to give birth' hormones but honestly...whine whine whine....)

On New Years Eve (2010...yes I know) our vehicle that holds the car seat(s) started acting up...and decided it was un-driveable.  Thankfully after taking it to get looked at it was a quick and easy fix although not cheap.  2011 is costing us a lot of money thus far.  We had to get it fixed cause you know...pending birth means we need a car to bring a baby home in...silliness.

Dave is sick...has been since 2010.  The Bebes decided that 2011 was going to get her sick as well.  We are going through tissues, cough drops and cold meds over here like I'm on a a flex spending amex gold card.  They both need to get healthy or else I'm not having any visitors in the hospital here shortly....

I fell in a parking lot last week and did the splits.  I did the 9 month pregnant lady splits.  MENTAL PICTURE.  I landed....in a not so pleasant way.....and spent the next day at the doctor making sure the baby was doing okay.  Fetal heart monitors....when everything is perfect are actually a lot of fun to listen to.  Thankfully again all is good there.  I took two days off work this week from the fall....PRE maternity leave which means....less paid time there...BRILLIANT.  I'm sore literally from head to toe.  I also officially cannot walk around without something close by to hold on to.  I'm hoping thats not a lasting effect seeing as how I have to get up and pee every 20 minutes and I don't own a cane.

The Bebes has decided 2011 is going to be her "testing out 'definance' year" so thats outstanding.  We spend an extra 20-30 minutes on each task now until she completes it.  I'm currently writing this while waiting for her to 1. open the door and 2. get her pull-up changed (because we don't want to use the potty anymore either).  I'm not going to take the time to explain either of those they aren't even remotely interesting leave it to say...they aren't getting done.

She also broke her blinds this morning....they are thankfully getting replaced shortly cause they were crappy to begin with but the point is...they are broken.  In addition to that stellar move...she felt the need to reach up and grab her engraved first curl box that was WAY out of her reach...open it and loose her first curl.  So I'm pretty much waiting for Dave to wake up shortly so I can have the proper meltdown about that situation.

Could the second week of 2011 please bring a little less drama?  I'm EXHAUSTED from this past week.  Dave has been a super hero taking care of all of us and he's sick as a dog.  We are desperately trying to get the last few things done around the house so we are ready for Baby J on the 25th...or sooner.

Our house is actually DIRTY...which is great because clearly I'm super flexible and can get down and scrub the corners.  The cats have felt the need to puke...EVERYWHERE.  Apparently they are sick too. Yesterday I caught one of them moments away from peeing on the leather couch.  The spent the rest of the night whining in the basement because I have no patience for this week...and wasn't going to pet cats who maliciously peeeeee on things.

I'd like a do over...I spent the time to usher in the new year.  I STAYED UP TILL 12:05....I know...amazing.  I wished 2011 well and happily welcomed it into my life and it's not treating me too well so far.

Whine Whine Whine....goodbye
