Announcing....

By
Well it has been quite some time since I last updated. I guess the biggest change withi n that time is the fact that we are expecting a third little blessing in January! We are really excited, and I would be lying if I said I am not at all anxious about what life with three little ones is going to look like. Me and Ian were playing with the kids last night. Ian was wrestling with Anthony while Luke was picking on me (stealing my glasses, trying to put his hat on my head, climbing all over me, etc). All of a sudden we both had the same though at the same time. "Where is #3 going to be in this mix?" I think it will be impossible to get my mind around until after he/she (probably he though. Just a feeling) is here. So I am 12 weeks and this pregnancy is nearly identicle to my other two. I think it is more similar to my first pregnancy though. I am probably going to gain a lot of weight. Expecting 35ish lbs again which I am ok with.(I only gained 18lbs with Luke) I am pregnant! I am not crazy about my weight when I am not pregnant, so I can't expect myself to be crazy about it now. As long as I am eating balanced meals, and not overdoing it on junk,then I am fine with whatever happens. I am dealing with a lot of headaches and aversion to smells. Very similar to my first. Anyway, I ask Anthony all the time if he thinks the baby is a boy or girl, and what we should name it. He always says boy, and his names include Fourty-Six, Goy, baby mommy, and my personal favorite, Pork Chop.

Spring is Finally Here!

By
Finally! I feel like Spring has finally come to stay. My allergies are killing me, and my skin is reacting to sunlight in true Jess fashion. I'm pretty sure I have solar urticaria. WebMD told me so, so it must be legit. Seriously though, I do have all the symptoms and it seems to be getting worse with age. It's kind of awful but the fresh air is so nice, I can't stand to stay inside. I likely am going to have to get some sun protective clothing. If I was worried about being cool before, wearing a long-sleeve swimsuit really will seal my fate as a very, uncool mom. hahaha! Last week was so nice out that we took the whole week off from school and focused on enjoying the weather and preparing for Easter. The homeschooling community likes to say that instead of taking off for snow-days, we take off for sun-days. I do love that flexibility.  Today, we started back up with school again but the boys still spent most of the day outside in the fresh city air, and our day was pre...

Old Beginnings

By
     Well, I fought the urge to create a completely new blog and decided to update this trusty old dumping ground of musings and stories. I am not sure what this will end up being, if anything at all other than a fun website to look back on in a few years, before websites become obsolete altogether. The truth is, I really enjoy hearing the sound of my fingers tapping away at the computer keys. It makes me feel like I am doing something productive, even though I am not.      Here I sit, at 11:40pm on a Tuesday night and I wonder what exactly tomorrow will bring. It's strange to be able to predict with almost complete accuracy the grand scheme of the day, but also not know what quirks lie ahead. For instance today, I knew that the kids would be going outside to play. I did not know that before bed my 4 year old would claim to have broken his leg while outside and beg me to carry him up the stairs to his room (which I did). I did know that we would start a n...

Dinner time???

By
So for once in my life, I was so excited to have a nice dinner ready by the time Ian got home. He told me he would be home at 5pm. I called him at 5:30 and found out he stopped somewhere to pick something up that he was looking for on craigslist. The following conversation happened: "Where are you?"  "Picking up that vcr/dvd player we talked about." "What?!?! WHY!!! DINNER HAS BEEN READY SINCE 5!" "Well, it is 5 mins away from work so I figured it would -make sense to just get it now."  "Ugh , well now dinner is cold"  "You guys can eat without me if you want"  "No. Are you kidding me? I did this for you! We aren't eating without you!" "Ok, so what do you want to do?" "What do you mean 'what do I want to do?' I JUST WANNA BE MAD ABOUT IT!!!" *I laugh because as I yelled that last part, I caught wind of my complete irrationality.*  "hahahaha, ok well you can do that. OR...
