Mara's first day of school

Mara had her first day of school on the 6th. She was so excited. Tim is off early on thursdays so he was able to come with us. The kindergarden classes met in the gym and she went right over to sit with her class and had no fears at all about it. It made me feel really old, and she was just so cute with her backpack.

Big day!

Today was Mara's first day of kindergarden. She was so cute!! We dropped her off and then went home and I took a shower to get ready for my appointment this afternoon, and my water broke! So I am at the hospital right now just hanging out til our little guy arrives. I'll get pics of Mara's first day and the baby soon!

And today isn't any better...

Woke up at 2 am to go to the bathroom and couldn't go back to sleep. Got the kids breakfast and stayed upstairs, so of course they came downstairs. I didn't think there was anything they could get into but somehow Asher found a bottle of purple nail polish and dumped the entire bottle, which was full, all over my floor. That's not coming out. So today is starting off with a bang, too. Mara starts school tomorrow. My stomach hurts really bad on one side, like it is stretching. It feels like it is about to split open. And I am still pregnant. With no end in sight. It's not even 11 yet.

What a crappy day

Ugggggghhhh. So this morning while I was downstairs the little monkeys got into some rice krispies. This was purely for fun, since I had already given them both breakfast and neither one of them had eaten that. They took the whole box, about 3/4of the way full, and dumped it all over the living room and on the couch. I took them to the park for lunch and when we came home I gave them a popsicle and started to clean the kitchen. I did the dishes, wiped the counters, wiped down the walls and cabinets/surfaces in the kitchen and dining room, cleaned off the table and wiped the whole thing (and the benches) down, cleaned off the fridge and stove, and swept and mopped. I also vacuumed all the cereal in the living room and out of the couch and cleaned the living room. By the time I was done with everything I had been cleaning for a little over three hours. It was time to rest so I told Mara I was going to go relax for a bit and that her and Asher should play in her room for a bit.

I go upstairs to check on them 20 or 30 minutes later and Asher had somehow gotten the bag of Doritos (which are in a locked cabinet that was still locked, so go figure) and they had eaten some and dumped a bunch in my NEWLY VACUUMED living room. So I sent them back into Mara's room to vacuum again. Finished and then told Mara I was going to go rest again because I needed to lie down.

Another 20 minutes or so later, Asher comes to me and is whining because he is all wet, and he hates being wet. I go upstairs to find out why his clothes are all wet and when I get to the top of the stairs, the kitchen is flooded. Mara says Asher was squirting the hose. I had some dishes soaking and they turned on the water and it overflowed all over the floor and I guess they were playing in it. That was about where I lost it. They went back into Mara's room, and luckily Tim came home about 5 minutes later. At least the floor was swept and mopped, so cleaning it up wasn't too bad.

Oh, and to top it all off, I am still pregnant.

It's going to be a hectic week

I think. Mara had her kindergarden assessment on friday and she starts school on the 6th, thursday. So I had better have the baby and be out of the hospital by then, because I will be upset if I miss her first day of kindergarden. So pretty much I have to have him before tuesday. I have another appointment on thursday, which I think will be my last before they schedule my c section, which I have almost resigned to having. :( The only mild bright side to that is my parents fly back in from Hawaii on friday for their anniversary, so my mom can stay the weekend and be here with the kids while I am having him. I would still rather go tonight though. I haven't been having any contractions or anything. A lot of pressure, because he is laying right on my pelvic bone, but I need him to drop behind it. I am getting frustrated at how fine I feel. I was having more contractions when I was like 6 months than I am having now. Grr.
