The Filler Post

Outside my window.....

the beginning of fall weather...for a few days. Then it'll be back up to 100.


________

I am thinking.....

that I really shouldn't have been so lazy and should've just bent down and picked up the pen that I instead sucked up with the vacuum cleaner yesterday. It seems to be the last pen that existed on earth and a to-do list written in crayon takes up 3 pages.


_________

I am thankful for.....

a sweet, perfect, tiny, beating heart. Baby grows and all of life is good.


________

I am wearing.....

size 7/8 jeans, flip flops, and a faded, to say the least, 2001 Old Navy t-shirt. And I am thinking that wearing size 7/8 jeans at 15 weeks pregnant is like stuffing 10 lbs of sugar in a 5 lb sack.


_________

I am hearing....

absolute silence. The beauty of good weather and children that have disappeared outside.


_________

I am remembering......

that I should really stop and take a 15 wk picture of this pregnancy.


_________

I am going.....

to never in my life ever use tanning lotion again since I am now on day 3 of Benadryl and still itching. Even though in about 3 months I will forget just how bad this whole episode was and convince myself it really wasn't all that awful and rub the self inflicted misery all over myself again.


__________

I am reading......

the fine print on the Uhaul boxes


_________

I am hoping....

that it will not actually take a degree to operate the iphone my husband is bringing home to me today. He is quite excited over me having one. My excitement finally took root when I learned I can listen to music of my choice in the van now. I am no longer at the mercy of whatever radio station happens to be local while we travel. And the alarm clock can be programmed to any music I wish instead of the horrific song my current phone attempts to play. I currently wake up in fear that the alarm on my phone will go off before I can unset it. No more.


_________

On my mind.....

not ever using tanning lotion again.


_________

Noticing that.....

I have a husband desperately in love with me. And somedays I just wonder why. I love the way he loves me.


___________

Pondering.....

why I used tanning lotion to begin with.


___________

Around the house.....

bare walls, bare shelves and no furniture. I think one has to be pretty deranged to be so in love with nothingness.....but I am. More is not always better.


___________

One of my favorite things.....

packed boxes


__________

Life in pictures.....


..........Soooo...I need to download them.

Nikki, I enjoy reading about your family's journey however long or short the post. I hope you get to continue with the updates as you move & travel across the country. You have a way of bringing the events to life, often in a very amusing way.

Mostly though, I hope you savor the richness of the journey with Hubby +11.
