Having a baby changes everything

As most of you know I am formerly not the neatest person in the world...my house often looked like the random scattered thoughts in my head...I often knew where stuff was and could find anything among utter chaos! I am glad to report that has somewhat changed since Preston...Upon washing dishes tonight and getting bottles rinsed to go into the dishwasher i realized that not only was i cleaning my kitchen before bed but i had done so every night since we moved into our new house! Shocking I know!!! I know it has to be done so i guess it has just become second nature...oh and the other shocking thing. Robert and I are the worlds worst at letting our clean clothes pile up in a stack on the guest bed...we dont mind washing but hate the putting away and folding...tonight i told him that i would come to bed after i get finished with laundry upon which he said you dont have to fold the ones in the dryer...my response Oh yes i do if i dont it will sit on the bed and i dont have time or energy to fold 8 loads at one time...I think I am turning into my mother ;o)

my no good horrible terrible very bad day...

So I am convinced that this week has been national unlucky week. As everyone I have talked to has agreed! Let me start off with how this week has been so far...Saturday started off wonderfully I got up got the house vacuumed and mopped and clean for Stephanie's shower. The shower went well but Preston was unusually fussy ... and my house was really hot!!! Sunday I woke up extremely cranky and extremely tired. I had been battling a headache for the last two days and was completely exhausted from the move and shower Not to mention that Preston thought waking up sometime in the middle of the night and getting up at 530 in the morning was acceptable...We missed Sunday school because i was so tired and cranky that i slept in til 9 to try to get rid of my headache. We made it to church (late) and sat in the balcony I think i fell asleep twice!!! I have never in my entire life fallen asleep in church! I was just that exhausted! Imagine taking a sleeping pill and then fighting it to stay awake that is how i felt! Anyway Monday morning I wake up and the house is still hot (courtesy of a frozen air conditioner) I get Preston up and ready and we head out the door. Monday was not so bad but boy did i get it Tuesday! Robert called the American home shield people and they said they would be here first thing Tuesday morning...so I went through the house turning all the ceiling fans on to high so we could cool down before putting P to bed. I made the big mistake of sleeping with out ceiling fans on high (which have resulted in Preston and I with terrible colds). So i get up Tuesday morning and the guy from the warranty place comes but states that he will have to come back since he was not told the air conditioner is frozen...he instructs us to turn it off and then he will be back that afternoon...Preston also has a cough that kind of sounds rough but i just assume its from the fans being on high. I take Preston, and the two dogs and head out for the day. I drop Preston off at Nana and PawPaws and then i take the dogs to mom and dads so they can escape the hot house for the day...all of this while i have had a no gas light on since the night before. So after dropping on the dogs i decide to stop at this lil hole in the wall gas station to get enough gas to make it to work so that i wont be too late. I pull in and had to go inside to pay since they had the old pumps with the dials. I get inside and he tells me to go ahead and fill up...i go back outside and start the pump...it pumps and suddenly stops...at .32 cents! Apparently he was out of gas...he tells me the next gas station is the BP down the road. I told him thanks and ask him to pray that i make it there...I make it there alright and as i pull up to the pump i feel like all will be OK...i get out swipe my card and it gives me the dreaded three words..."PLEASE SEE ATTENDANT" !!! So irritated i take my card and go inside where the attendant states that if i am trying to pay with my card it will not work because their machine is down. I told her that i was completely out of gas and that i had a check book she then states we do not take checks...I asked what i was supposed to do about gas and she says without even a pause there's another gas station by the interstate...I replied with yes but what good is that going to do me i don't have enough gas to get there!!! So i get back in my car thinking that God is trying to teach me patients and i cant help but burst into tears called my mom and told her she may have to come get me lol. Such a drama queen i know! So i finally see the Chevron in the distance and start to get excited! I literally sputtered into the gas station and died right by the pump lol. When i reset my fuel thingy it showed that i had been 331 miles on that tank of gas. I have never let it get that low! The day was topped off with Robert taking off work for the birth of my sister in laws baby...I went to visit and broke the strap on my shoe. I had to drag my shoe and foot back to the car like quazi moto or something lol. Then Wednesday Preston ends up having to go to the DR for a cold and Robert stayed off work with him I was very sick feeling and ill, Today i had to stay out with Preston so Robert could go back to work...I just pray for the strength to get through this week! One more day of work and then two days with my hunnie!
