A successful night off

Leave a reply

Ended up going to Red Lobster for dinner with Grandmom. YUM. We had a great dinner, great conversation, and I picked up some Ben & Jerry’s S’mores ice cream for my movie night. Of course, the DVD player didn’t work so I ended up watching the tail end of “What women want” and then “Hitch” on TNT. Good mindless romantic movies. Lil’ Bit, one of the in-law’s dogs cuddled with me the whole time which was nice. I’m so used to being around dogs I think it would have been a bit odd for there not to be dogs there.

I finally started the bedtime process around 1030p – got into bed to go to sleep around 11p and didn’t wake up for the day until 10a! Even then I didn’t pop right out of bed – just kind of laid there for a short bit and then got up to take the dogs out. I went to Panera and got some hot cocoa and a cinnamon crunch bagel w/hazelnut cream cheese spread and took it back to the house to eat. Took my time and then packed up and went grocery shopping before finally returning home. All in all, it was a pretty nice weekend and I thoroughly enjoyed the mindless relaxation.

The girls and I ran some errands yesterday as I have access to MIL’s car this week (well, until tomorrow). I also took a nap yesterday afternoon as the rain lulled me to sleep. We live in Georgia, which if you’ve been watching the news, is now a major disaster area due to drought and seeing rain was nice. Driving in it – not so nice – people here seem to think that rain gives them permission to drive like idiots. But that’s a whole ‘nother post. 

Looking forward to my night OFF

I have to say that I am really looking forward to my evening off. And I mean COMPLETELY off. No husband, no kids, no nothing. Well, there will be the two dogs over at the in-laws house but really – I’ll just have to let them out tonight and feed them in the morning. That doesn’t count.

I am about to go pack and then shower – taking advantage of our new massage setting – then get ready to head on out. I am not taking my computer or anything PPD related with me. And I am packing my very nice nightgown set that my mom bought me for my birthday. It’s to be worn for my hospital stay once I have the baby but I have been wearing it here and there – just to pamper myself. And all moms deserve to be pampered!

I washed my body pillow and case this morning. I can’t be without it and it desperately needed to be washed. I can’t wait to sleep in a nice big comfy bed and not have an alarm clock shriek me into consciousness. So looking forward to a quiet morning!

Haven’t decided if I am going to go to the cell phone store this evening after dinner or not. Guess it’ll depend on how energentic I feel after dinner. I do need to grab a few movies to take with me – otherwise it’ll be Rambo if I want to watch something. I’m thinking something like Seven Years in Tibet or maybe even something hopelessly hilarious like There’s Something About Mary (that is, if I can find them). I may even splurge on a pint of ice cream for myself…. we’re tight in the budget department this week, so again, haven’t decided yet. For that matter, I haven’t decided where we’re going for dinner – although I am strongly leaning towards Red Lobster. I am suffering from a fierce seafood craving.

Gotta run, it’s nearly 3p here and Chris will be getting off soon. I need to be ready when he gets home to race to the car and be outta here!

Getting a new cell phone! :-)

Palm Centro I just have to brag – I’m getting a new cell phone! (see picture)    I wanted to get a new Treo but even with my available upgrade credit, it would add an additional $350 to our cell bill. So not worth it and I really don’t want to wait until Christmas to make the switch. I needed a PDA phone last week. The phone I have now is ok but I really need to make the jump to a PDA keeping in consideration how busy I’m getting and how much I need to keep track of and be able to access in a flash.

So the phone I’m getting is the new Palm Centro, once we can figure out how to actually order it from our cell carrier’s website. I tried several times night but was unable to get the transaction to go through. Even my husband, the computer genius, was unable to get it to go through. Hopefully we’ll be able to get it to work soon or I suppose we’ll just have to call them. And we all know we’d just rather not deal with customer service unless we have to!

Day II of taking the Omega 3 Prenatal Vitamin

Leave a reply

I forgot to take my prenatal yesterday (honest mistake!) but made sure I took it today. Again, I am feeling like I am on a much more even keel, not feeling the tension RIGHT there as much, and am really noticing a difference in my ability to stay calm.

Called my OB’s office again this morning as they never returned my call yesterday. While the receptionist was taking my message, my OB walked up behind her, saw the message, and ok’d me taking the Omega 3.6.9’s. So now I just need to get ahold of some. I’m hoping I’ll be able to purchase some this weekend. I am grateful for my support network because if it weren’t for the wonderful women I’ve gotten to know, I wouldn’t even know to try the Omega 3.6.9’s. It’s amazing how much of a difference just 18 months can make in one person’s life!

Gonna run now, it’s quiet time and everyone is actually quiet. I think I’m going to try and sneak in a nap. :-)
