What time is it?

Most of you know I do not have a normal 9 to 5 work day. Instead I work 4 ten hour shifts. So about 7:45 am I wake up a realize "I think I'm supposed to be at work in 15 minutes!" Luckily I live close so I got here just one minute after 8. I take a look at the schedule and I'm supposed to be here at 9am! To some people that extra hour might not be a big deal but to me, that's a lot of sleep! In the end it worked out, one of my co-workers was running late so I signed in and got to work, it'll be a hour of overtime. Can't complain about that!

David has one of his last three exams today. He has been studying like crazy. I quizzed him last night and I think he is going to do great! I know he is ready for summer. I will still be working late during the week but since David's classes are over we can work on getting the nursery ready. I think have finally decided where to put the crib and how to keep a bed in the nursery! It has been driving me crazy!

Speaking of crazy, yesterday I had a total off day. I don't know what was wrong with me but I'm going to blame it on being pregnant. We went to lunch with David's parents and Eric. Which is wonderful because we don't get to seem them during the week so we go eat lunch on Sundays. Then we ran to Target so I could pick up thank you cards and a classic controller for the Wii (more on that later). By the time we got home I did not think I could get out of the car. I was so tired. It's crazy how growing a human can drain your energy. David went back to the office to study and my plan was to go to the grocery store. Lately I've been clipping coupons and actually using them. I'm am straying from the story but I have to plug an awesome website. http://fullmailbox.net/ It is owned/run but a co-worker of mine and his wife. It's the best website for coupons, hot deals and best of all freebies! They also post sweep steaks and instant win games. If you've never clipped coupons you should really check it out. Michele has been great getting me started on the whole coupon deal, you can really save a lot! Okay, back to my story. I am heading to the grocery store and remember I forgot all my reusable bags. They are so much easier to carry. Get to the store, do my shopping, remember everything, go to walk out and it's pretty much pouring rain. I wait for a minute but it's been raining the past few days and this is not going to let up any time soon. So off into the rain I go, get my stuff loaded, be a good person and take my buggy to the buggy holder thing and run/waddle back to the car. I get home and David is still at the office studying so I unload the cold stuff and leave the drinks and water in my car for him to carry up those awful stairs. By the time I got upstairs I was wiped out. I felt like I had run a marathon. I mean hello, I just went to the store! So I decide to take a nap, which ended up not being a great idea because I had a lingering headache that got worse. David came home and was super sweet. I had planned on making burgers and fresh corn on the cob but we eat other stuff instead. Later that night I was cleaning off the massive mess my desk had become and found the safety info for cribs. Since we decided to use David's I wanted to measure the space between the slates. So I get my handy ruler and start measuring. Well it's supposed to be less than 2 3/8 . The way I am reading it, the ruler says almost 3 inches! So I go interrupt David studying and make sure I know where 2 3/8 is on a ruler and have him check it. I'm like, look see it's almost 3 inches! Well hello blondie crazy pregnant wife! I am counting the next slat, not the space in between! At this point I feel so bad for take David from his studying because I don't know how to use a ruler. But as always he was super sweet and made me feel better. Now that I have all that typed up it doesn't seem like a big deal but I swear yesterday my hormones had me all backwards and crazy!

One more story and then I will pack it up for the day. I really want to try using cloth diapers. Not all the time but when I am at home. Most people, including some of our family, think I am crazy. But they have really improved. So I registered for some. My Mom and my sister Lauren have already told me they aren't doing the cloth thing. Mom says she is keeping a pack of Pampers at her house! Which is totally fine with me. It's something I want to try and if I hate it then there will be a listing on Craigslist! So Kathy called Mom last week, they were talking about our registry stuff and Kathy asked about the cloth diapers. Mom told her, she wasn't using the cloth and Kathy didn't have to either. Mom could tell how relived Kathy was. So a few hours later Mom calls Kathy and says "You were trying to figure out how to hid the pampers and get Elijah back in a cloth diaper when Nicole comes to pick him up!" They both died laughing!! I'm sure there will be some posting about my adventures with cloth diapers!

Hope everyone has a wonderful week!

With Love,
