Time to myself

Who knew it could be so hard to have all the time I want to just relax? My Dr "grounded" me yesterday. I can't travel outside of this area anymore, so my hubby and kids went without me to Idaho Falls for Thanksgiving and the blessing of a new little cousin. My sister in law finally got to bring home the little boy she adopted from Guatemala. He is such a doll.

I don't miss the hectic household full of hubby's family, it is always too much of a sensory overload for me. Between the TV remote issue (my kids lost it the other day) and a house full of things that need to be done, I'm finding it harder than I thought to relax. Maybe sorting through baby clothes would cheer me up. I have several boxes to go through, that wouldn't be too strenuous, would it?

I'll figure things out, I so plan to try and enjoy the peace a bit...but I think I may have to go out and rent some movies or something too. I can only sleep so much and I'm too used to always being busy. Wish me luck!

I just posted this and then realized that I didn't explain why I'm "grounded". My busy stressful life is giving me contractions and my hips are not dealing with this pregnancy too well. My Dr is afraid I'm headed into an earlier than he would like delivery. I don't want a delivery this soon either. I'm trying really hard to be good, really I am, but I need to work as long as possible. My checking account is looking sad and empty for December, but I know we will make it through.

Enough of that...have a Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Aww,grounded... no turkey day for you. I'm sorry

Hmmm... wait, that might not be a bad thing, after all. A quiet house, no piles of mashed potatoes to slather gravy on, no tantalizing pies to avoid, no in-laws to converse with.

I think I might be jealous now!

It was great until the quiet became too quiet. For the first time ever, I missed my family (I normally thoroughly enjoy time away from hubby and kids atleast 1 to 2 times a year, they help keep me sane).

We are going to have our own thanksgiving dinner this weekend at the latest. Now that you have me craving all that, it is going to be hard to wait! LOL
