More of week 29

So, the baby is super active, and that is very exciting. However, I was not able to really fall back asleep this morning after the alarm went off at 5:30. This is getting strange, because I am having more of a hard time falling back asleep. I WANT to sleep, I feel tired, but my body is just like "uh, no. NO more sleep". So I lay there and day dream some, flip, flop, get up and pee, flip some more... And alas, it's 8am and I should get up and go to the place where I am supposed to be working. BLAH! Even when I nap on the couch, which sleeping there has never been a problem, it is hard to fall back asleep. I will wake up having to pee, or my arm is falling asleep (and I am NOT!) or Niner barks, and Abby runs by squishing her orange (aka 'ohnge'). And I will come back to the couch, and lay there, day dreaming, longing to sleep (because at this point it may have been 30-45 minutes that I rested well), and I want more!

Niner began his thyroid pills last night. So, in a month he will be retested.

Poison Ivy has crept up again...only 2 small bumps on the top of my left wrist area, and a couple in the usual spot on my right arm. I also have the occasional (sometimes more than occasional) itchy spot on the back of my neck.

Tomorrow is goin to be a busy day! I have OB appt in the morning, need to get an oil change, get the hostess gifts and cards, remind Danielle about the shower, get nails done if possible, pick up dry cleaning, wrap gifts, haircut at 3pm, and then dinner at Charles and Tina's with her parents. ARGH!! No nap for me tomorrow, I guess...

My butt has been hurting lately after sitting too long. This gets to be a bit annoying...so I try to take more breaks. But still, it just gets annoying.

And I secretly tampered with the AC unit outside our office door today, because 74 is just a bit too hot. I stuck a paperclip in to change the temp to 72, and I feel much better. YAY for tampering.

OHOHOH I need chocolate.

I feel like I have eaten all day long, a pkg of cheese and crackers here, a nutri-grain bar there, then some grapes, my piece of chicken with spicy chick peas and buttermilk garlic mashed potatos for lunch, a small cucumber sliced up (which was great - Niner ate the end pieces this morning - who knew he liked cucumbers...) and now a Snickers bar.

Elliot is such a goofball...we have this table between our desks where he keeps paperclips and pens and rubberbands and stuff. But every time I need the scissors or the letter opener, they are in his desk drawer, and we ONLY HAVE ONE OF EACH!!!! So, when I use them, I put them in the Borden's Cottage Cheese container he uses for the pens and whatnot, so that we can both reach them later when needed. NOOOOOOOOOO.... he always puts them back in his desk drawer. And it's not so much that I can't get up and get them (cus I need the breaks...) but the convenience factor would be so much easier on both of us. He has never said anything about putting them back in the drawer, but clearly that is where he wants them. And it is just silly. Because he won't get me my own, and I am NOT about to buy my own office supplies.

I already brought in a phone today to replace his cordless (our office is like 15 x 15 and we have 2 old cordless phones which NEITHER one's battery holds a charge. I get like 5-10 minutes of solid talk time on mine before it just dies, and his...You always have to use on speaker phone because it NEVER charges. More suck!) Well, so I can't plug my phone in the wall, because there is only one outlet in this room that is connected to the phone line, and I have to bring in a splitter!!!! WHAT KIND OF CHEESE DICKER OPERATION IS BEING RUN AROUND HERE!!!!

This makes me want a second Snicker's.

Anywho...

This weekend is going to be busy, there is the shower Saturday at 11:30, and we have to be at the bout by like 5-6 ish... And somehow get all the gifts home.

Talked to Kelley this morning, and she told me that if we played those stupid baby shower games (how many squares of toilet paper are needed to wrap around mom's belly...etc....) that I would be a hypocrit, since her and I made fun of Andrea's at her baby shower. I told her I was already the hypocrit since I had then said that I didn't want kids...she told me I had just been lying about that!! UH NO! I was really sincere about not wanting kids for a VERY LONG TIME!! So what's the difference, a liar, a hypocrit??? Who fucking cares? And the thing about it is, that her voice mail from yesterday was that she BETTER not have to play any of those stupid games at my shower. And I told her today that I was a little nervous about the possibility of games, and everyone looking at me and judgeing me and my size yada yada yada. She told me to call the lady and tell her not to have any of these games because I don't like them. WELL, first of all, I am not calling anyone 3 days before the shower and making any changes, cus that is just rude! They have been planning this for well over a month! And secondly, I get that she is doesn't want to play them, and THAT IS JUST NOT MY PROBLEM!!!! She is the one that brought this all up on my voice mail, because she has an issue with it, not me. And I secretly like being the center of attention even if I am bigger than most people there. I AM FUCKING PREGNANT FOR CHRIST'S SAKE!!!! I just don't want to be judged harshly, and won't be because these are my friends and family. FUCK THEM if they judge!

Ahhhh, much better now.

Dylan and his boyfriend broke up, which is sad. Especially since it took the guy 3 weeks to finally break up via email!!!! What a DOUCHE! And Heather and Ang have quizzed me on whether Adam is a douche or not, and I stick with what I said. NO! He even went to Austin to break up with Carrie in person because he knew it was the right thing to do. AND SHE LIVED OUT OF TOWN!!!! My man is no douche! CONFIRMED!!

And we talked to Ethan last night, and he is doing very well. Playing with his band, re-met an onld girlfriend, and has created a new database that someone at his work got wind of and they may implement for the entire company of NASA! WOW! He was just working on this for himself to monitor whatever it is that he is doing, and some other people found out, and referred him to way upper management. And he is working on the showering area of the Russian Space Station. Apparently the people up there don't want to shower in the correct location, so there is mold growing on this thin metal divider. And the mold will make the metal disintegrate!! Which is bad. But the people are being brats and not complying with where to shower. So he has been elected to head a committee to figure out what to do. This is really exciting.

Oh, and he will buy a webcam so we can talk to him via the World Wide Web more often. Which reminds him that his band playing was being broadcast online and he didn't tell us. He told his mom, but forgot to tell his friends. SLACKER!!

Alright, going back to work now. YAY.......
