• Good morning.  I woke up exhausted this morning.  After having done nothing all day yesterday   Go figure.  So, Rob sent me back to bed like an errant school child.  Never should have told him about Monday's contractions lol.   He worked like a feind yesterday.  Our house looks so good.  I try not to think about it, haven't had the energy to get it that clean in a long time.  Besides the fact that he did two dump runs.  (LONG overdue)  Split firewood, etc.  PBBBBBBBBBBT to his energy level.  But at least he's a little bit tired today.  I know I'm terrible.

  
  

  Went and bought a baby quilt last night with Kaylin after my midwife appointment.  My mom gave me all of her tri-chem (liquid embroidery)  So that will be my sitting on my rear doing nothing project.  I haven't tri-chemed in years, but its a no-brainer easily interrupted project.  

  
  

  Talked to my mom a long time this morning on the phone.  Hadn't told her about Monday yet either.  Four of her kids are performing in a Misoula Childrens Theater this week.  So the big kids & I will go see it.  They are VERY well done.  250 kids audition for them each year, and ALL 4 of hers made it.  That's gotta say something.   Starting next week when Misoula is done, my 11 year old sister is gonna come over & play with my kids one day a week for a couple hours in the afternoon.  She loves my kids, (3 of them being her sibs)  and is very patient with them.  It will give them a little bit of a break from the boring mommy. 

  
  

  Kaylin and I had fun last night.  She went with me to my midwife's appointment.  And was VERY VERY serious about that.  She NEVER smiled the whole time we were there.  LOL  She just stood & watched the midwife measure me and do the internal .  And after the midwife was done I was sitting up talking to her (draped of course)  And Kaylin apparently wasn't impressed with that, so she brought me my pants    I'm sitting there holding my pants and we continue to talk and lo-and behold...we had a small earthquake.  snicker.  I got dressed quickly   I haven't read the news to see what it was but probably less then a 4.0.    It makes for a good story.

  
  

  After midwifes, I took Kaylin shopping at Walmart.  And she got to pick out her VERY own toy as a weaning prize.  I knew how much she loves her sisters Pretty Pretty Princess game.  (Gee thanks Alicia)  So I took her to the kids jewelry aisle.  I said so which one do you want?  She pointed.  I said well how about this one...she said no!  and pointed back at the pretty hot pink set.  So that's what she got     necklace, bracelets, earrings, rings, and high heeled shoes.  My daughter btw at less then two years of age has a shoe-fetish   And she thinks those plastic hot pink high heeled shoes are the greatest thing in the world!  I'll post a picture later.  Too lazy to do it right now. 

  
  

  Its nap time for the kids...so I think I'll go lay down with them.  Not that I've hardly been awake yet today.  LOL  Wow I'm lazy.

  
  

  Father God, I ask that things would go smoothly today.  That Kaylin would understand why I can't carry her.  And that Jamari would be cheerful, and not super clingy.  I thank you for my big kids being so helpful, and pray that this pattern would continue.  I ask for you to continue to help the contractions to stay gone, and for me to be careful.  Keep Rob energized and not overdoing it.  In your sons name,  Amen
