Grilling Goodness

Happy Friday all!! I thought I would try to do Grilling Goodness this week, through the fog that is my brain right now! :)

1. Do you prefer to write with pen or pencil? I prefer pen, unless I am doing a crossword or something that may require erasing!
2. What was off limits to you growing up that you do all the time now? Oh lots and lots of things, but I guess the daily thing is TV. We never had one at all, and I watch the thing all the time now!!
3. What is the age difference between you and your spouse? A year
4. Did you hurt yourself in anyway this week? Yes, I slipped on some ice near my car and fell on my bum.
5. Do you like wallpaper enough to hang it in your home? I hate wall paper...mostly for the fact that it is miserable to get off, and can look pretty ragged over time.
6. What do you need to do that you've been putting off? Lots and lots...finish the babies room is the big one, I just have put it completely on hold....not sure why....
7. What did you do this week that you wish you hadn't? Got upset with Hubby about long hours at work...he doesn't have a choice right now, and I didn't want to make it worse on him....but of course I did.
8. Did anything keep you up late this week? Yes my ever growing Belly, TV, and reading books...

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!! I also posted a new review over at http://lizziestest.blogspot.com/ in case you are interested!

Oh I am blue, yes I am blue!!

It is always amazing to me how one can wake up in such a foul mood. Is it restless sleep, bad dreams?? Who knows. All I know is I woke up in one this morning. I am sick and tired of being tired, being pregnant, and hubby being gone all the time.

Pregnancy isn't all that bad for me, I am not sick, so far no troubles at all other than slightly elevated blood pressure at my last appointment. But I am tired...oh am I tired. Especially in the mornings, it takes me at least two hours and a shower to wake up properly. I am trying to take things easy and not stress about getting things done, however I do worry about being a good mom to Gracie through all this. I really want to treasure this time I have with her, it will be the last few months where she is our only child, and I want to enjoy each moment. I am not one of those moms where interaction comes easily...I have never really enjoyed kids games or playing with kids...I don't know if I have no imagination or what it is, but I feel like I leave her to play on her own far too much. I do enjoy crafts and coloring so I do try to join her in those activities....but most of the time, lately, I am just to tired to think! I pray that I can handle this and that I give Gracie and the new babe the attention and time that they deserve.

I also think part of my blues is wintertime blues. I just want it to be warm and springlike. I want to be outside, pottering out in my yard. And I know Gracie wants that too, she is sick of snow.

Hubbys store opens tomorrow, thank goodness. It has seemed like forever in coming. Needless to say though, since it is opening right away, he has been working insane hours, he was gone all day yesterday, gone this morning when we woke up, and won't be home until after Gracie is in bed. I feel terrible for her, she doesn't understand why....."I want my daddy, Daddy, you don't have to go to work!!" It breaks my heart, and I know it breaks his too. This won't last forever....but while it is lasting, I have to just keep swimming as Dory says....just keep swimming.....

I have been trying to concentrate my thoughts on God, and receiving the strength I need from Him....But it is hard, as I feel sorta like I have shut down emotionally to get through this time, and I feel almost like when I come to God, I have shut down there too...Not good, but I pray He helps me through this as well.

I sound sad and miserable, which I am not, and my life is not in the dumps, like I said, woke up in a foul mood.....which hopefully washes away with my shower!!

Review time!

I signed up a little while ago to review products for all of you...so I decided to start up a new blog, just for that purpose and I will let you know when I post a review.

See my first review of Cascade All in One Action Packs here http://lizziestest.blogspot.com/

Hope you all have a wonderful day!

Tid bits

I had the urge to write...not sure what, and not sure how long I have......

Little miss has decided not to nap today....I am leaving her in her room for some me time....It really bugs me when she doesn't nap, not sure why, but it is one of those "triggers".

Went for ultrasound yesterday. We wanted to find out the sex of the baby, first I was told that "we don't do that here, this is not a pleasure ultrasound, this is a diagnostic ultrasound" I was like, aren't they all??? But either way, I buttered her up, and she eventually got friendly, and guess what???

The child was uncooperative....................

So sad...........Oh well, God knows what it is, that should be good enough for me right??

I got some things in the mail to review on here, which I am quite excited about doing, but haven't had the time to review them.....soon, soon!!

Hubby's new job is going really well for him. Thank goodness he loves his job as I am NOT loving the all over the place hours he is working. NOT at all. I try not to complain to him, because I know he feels it too, but things should slow down hopefully in the next month or so.

I can't wait for spring!! I want to go to the greenhouse and buy plants!!

I should go do something productive....

God Bless!
