I Think *Today* is The Day!

Seriously.

I'm not just saying that this time.

I awoke this morning (shortly before 6:00 a.m.) to some very odd pains. They felt like sharp gas pains, but went from my head to my stomach, around to my back and up into my neck. It was happening every time my heart beat. Every time. It was pretty painful.

At first I was thinking I was having a heart attack or stroke or aneurysm, but now I'm guessing the baby was just laying on some weirdo nerve. It totally freaked me out. I couldn't even move. I couldn't even wake Joe. It lasted a little more than a minute. I did not like it.

After that, I was awake.

I went into the bathroom and had started to bleed. At first, I became paranoid because of my history with this pregnancy, but I'm just hoping that it's just a sign early labor.

And I've been having contractions ever since ... some strong, some not so strong.

So ...

I think TODAY is THE day!!!

(See ... maybe he was just waiting for his onesies!)







I'll be back to update if/when we go to the hospital.

Reusable Swiffer WetJet Cloths

Image
I promised myself that, when I bought a box of Swiffer WetJet refills at the wholesale club, it would be the last box I bought. Something had to be done. Now, to be honest, part of the reason was to help the environment, but the other part was because I was tired of running out of those darn things. I took some towels, folded them in half cut them into 5" widths. (The towel was just about 25" or so from side to side when flat.) Then I cut two 5" pieces of elastic and serged it all together. Two layers of toweling and two elastic strips. That's it. (The finished piece was approximately 4.75" x 12.") Within minutes I had a stack of eight. Slide them on and mop away. You will have a clean floor and have saved one more thing from ending up in the landfill. Now, if I can just do something about the cleaning liquid ... Something environmentally-friendly, economical, and won't cause further pain to my arthritic back.

39

It's that time of year again. The one that seems to come faster and closer every year. Yes, today I am 39. (That means I'm almost 40! Aaaahh!) To keep in tradition with years' past , I decided to do a list of things you might not know about me . (My best friend loves these posts, so this is in honor of her. You know who you are.) I ran 1 3/4 miles this morning. I gained 3-4 pounds after Sawyer weaned himself this year. Since starting to run, Joe has said that my thighs are "as tight as when we were first married." I didn't realize my thighs weren't tight. Hmmm. I guess six kids can do that to you. I need a new mattress. We bought our last mattress when I was in labor with Carter . That was ten years ago. We also bought a set of bunk beds that day. I want a new sofa. Actually two new sofas. I'm waiting until Sawyer is potty-trained. I'm planning on training him as soon as school lets out in June. Sometimes I plan ahead. Sometimes I procrasti
