Something sweet for my sourness



Today I woke up on the wrong side of the bed, but I guess when you are 8 months pregnant, there really is no right side of the bed.
Isabella has been extra clingy, she wants me to hold her all the time, which is a killer on my back, and Parker,
oh Parker..............................the energy he has wears me out. Non stop talking about star wars and ninjas and the movie dumb and dumber. I feel like I am reliving a part of my childhood when that's all Eric and John talked about.
I cleaned the floors today when Isabella napped and I got over heated in 77 degree weather. It took me forever to cool down and then at the end of the day you couldn't tell any different. I'm tired of bending over to pick up toys. I groan every time I do, Isabella now groans too when she bends over. I think I'm done being pregnant for awhile. I'm trying really hard to be optimistic, really I am, but when you get no sleep due to heat, backaches, and a clingy hot toddler in the middle of your nights, I think I accumulate about 4 hours asleep a night. I am beginning to see fine lines under my left eye, just the left, not the right I don't know why.
So to make up for my grouchiness I made cream puffs. Isabella thru such a fit when I was making these, I don't want to write about, but lets just say a big bowl of raspberries went flying on to the clean kitchen floor. I also weaved that paper mat today. I don't know why. I sat down at the table to rest this afternoon after picking up toys again and all these scraps of paper Isabella had discovered and dumped out on the floor were scattered all over the table. I realized I could weave them so I did. I think it helped my sanity. Bobby didn't even question what I was doing when he came home and saw me gluing a weaving scraps of paper, he still hasn't, I think he thinks I've lost it. He did just offer me a massage, so I'm going to stop typing and relax.

Ooooohhhhhh.... Poor Lisa. I'm so sorry. John went through a super clingy phase right before Finn was born. I think they know something is about to happen. Get rid of the toys. Seriously. I've been so tired of picking crap up that I started to get rid of it or store it. And guess what, the kids don't even notice. Parker is old enough to help too. Maybe you could schedule you mom, Tanya or Erin to take Isabella for a couple hours and have Parker go to a friends two or three afternoons a week, just to let you have some down time. I think this last month of the pregnancy is so hard, and I just know that feeling of just being sick and tired of being pregnant.
At least you have yummy cream puffs. I want one.

I had cream puffs last night too! We really are sisters. That is a good idea to get rid of toys.
