I'm just sitting here, wondering what in the world I'm supposed to get a pregnant woman who already has everything?
Seriously.
She's exactly 5 months pregnant, give or take, and she already has everything. And it's not hand-me-downs, either. Oh, she's got older kids. Two to be exact. A boy and a girl. So, you'd think she would use what she could from the first two, right?
Wrong.
She has gone out and bought all new stuff. Nothing old for this baby. And, to top it all off, she's having another shower!
Another shower!
WTH?
What do you get a person like that? I suppose something useful that a mother always runs out of? Maybe some diapers? But, what if I get the wrong kind? I hate to waste the money on something she won't use because it's not the right kind. Maybe some onesies? I always used them when my kids were babies. I never had enough. That could work. Maybe something personal like monogrammed baby gifts of some sort?
This might be the way to do.
Something in the mint green she's buying everything in. Something with the baby's name on it, since she already knows what it's going to be. Talk about organized!
Yeah, I like this.
I think this is what I will do.
Sitting Here Wondering......
Getting Easier
Seems to be the only way I get to hear how things are going with Tristan lately is through the FB. That's Facebook for all you computer illiterates out there. I signed on over the weekend to see, "Wow! Third week of school already?" set as his status.
Already?
Seems to me like he's been gone forever. I miss him, but it is getting easier. At least I don't tear up standing in the hallway at the top of the stairs looking at the closed door to his room anymore.......much.
His status before that was, "Wow! Twas a good night."
Do you see a pattern here with the "wow?"
I don't even want to know why it was a good night.
He calls every once in a while to update us on what he's up to. The last piece of news we got was that he got into a fraternity, so that's good. I think. I've seen the movies, so the jury is out on that one.
Anyway, life has gone on since my oldest has left the nest and is obviously making a life for himself sans his mother. It's OK. This is the way it's supposed to be, or so I'm told. I just never really thought he could make it without me.
I'm sure most mothers harbor this thought until that day when it finally happens and their kids do actually survive without their mothers. We're just never quite prepared for it, though.

KO Guitar
As someone who is always listening to music, and a proclaimed Country music lover, I have to say, I am loving this artist I just found out about. He's Kevin O'Connor, otherwise known as KO Guitar. For over 25 years, KO has been making music; playing guitar, singing and songwriting. His imagination and life experiences makes each song unique and easy to listen and relate to.
In a mix of a little bit of Country, with a little bit of Rock, and just a tad bit of Soul, KO makes magic with his music. His new project, 175 Cherry Lane combines 7 years of hard work, and is yet another reason to love this guy. He's traveling around performing, so take a minute to check out his site and find a location near you to go see him!
What a Day
I am so glad it's almost over. I have no idea who decided that I should have such a crappy day, but I do not think it's funny. Not one bit.
First thing this morning before 6am, Mike tells me that my computer won't boot up. WTH? It was fine last night. After fighting with it for a few minutes and getting no where, it was time to wake the kids up.
I wake Becky. She tells me that her ears hurt and she's stuffed up. I tell her to go back to sleep. Upon waking Tim up, he goes to the bathroom. A few minutes later, I hear the recognizable sound of him puking in the toilet. By this time, Becky has decided she's feeling well enough to go to school, so she's up and in the shower. Tim comes out of the bathroom and I send him back to bed.
My mind still distracted by my inoperable computer and my inability to go to work if it does not get fixed, I head back to it, frantically working to fix it. I didn't realize that Becky had been in the basement a long time. She had went down there to get something out of the dryer. The crashing, banging noise coming up the basement stairs finally broke my attention and I rushed to her side as she came into the kitchen, disoriented and stumbling into the walls.
She had had a grand mal seizure in the basement, and I was so distracted by my stupid computer, that I didn't even notice.
I checked her over for injury and got her situated on the couch to sleep. Seizures take a lot out of her, and she wasn't going to school after that.
I called both schools, let them know that the kids were sick and not coming in today. I then turned my attention back to the computer, which was a mess.
I proceed to spend the better part of the day reformatting the stupid thing. I have no idea what happened to it, but it's fixed now. I'm still waiting on some URLs for my work stuff, but hopefully I'll have those before I need to go in tomorrow.
Becky is doing better after a long nap, and Tim is feeling better as well. I think both of them will return to school tomorrow....I hope. I have a lot of work to catch up on after today.
