So I feel like I did alot today, but got about zilch done around the house......guess I can't do it all.
I had to pick up new menus for our pizza shops and other random things at the office supply. I also got the van washed, oil changed AND ran it through the car wash. So it's sitting nice and shiney in the garage while the snow falls LOL *shrug* It's a neverending battle in the winter!
I talked to my neice today.......she is confined to her hospital bed until she has this baby boy! So in other words, she is totally missing her baby shower :( I'm going to try and figure out how to operate my computer's web cam so we can get it hooked up at the shower. My SIL called the owner of the venue and they do have wireless access that they will let me hack into LOL
So looks like I will be a great-aunt by March 3rd!!
We are expecting a nice snow/ice storm here tonight and into tomorrow....joy. So I called Bob and they are on their way home tonight instead of tomorrow. I worry about them driving in bad weather. Especially since they are in his brother's Cadillac with no 4 wheel drive and I'm SURE no snow tires LOL.......so I'm up waiting on his arrival.
Roman was so happy to be my buddy today while I ran errands. He's been so stir crazy! I can't blame him......I'm really tired of the wet and snow already. Spring can't get here fast enough! I hope when we plant grass it grows fast so I can turn this boy loose in the backyard LOL
So I guess I'll keep sitting here watching TV til my husband gets home. I think I'm in for another busy weekend......hopefully something fun will happen and I'll have an interesting blog post for you! LMAO

Lazy Friday.....
So yesterday turned out to be a great Valentines day! When I left you Wednesday, I had that little delimma of wrapping up my husband's Valentines gifts. Well turned out I went to do it the following morning. I got a shower and then he went to do the same. So I took that opportunity to grab his stuff out of the van. I snuck out, opened the back of the van, pulled back my sweater coat to NOTHING. My heart SANK! I almost lost it right there in the garage. Where the heck were the gifts!?!?! Not only Valentine's day for him, but his birthday gifts too (his bday is tomorrow)!! I combed the house.....every room, cubby, cabinet and drawer. Did he accidently find his stuff and is now messing with me by hiding it? No, can't be......
Well I found the bags. They were in the garage back where we have a few random boxes and some Christmas decor. I let out a HUGE sigh of relief. Turns out my dear sweet daughter thought I wanted her to hide the gifts, so she took it upon herself to do so......without telling me. Nice for once she took some initiative *eyeroll*
Once our daughter arrived from school we all set off to the town over so that I could hit a furniture store there and order my swivel glider and ottoman I've been lusting after for YEARS. I was set on ordering one from Pottery Barn Kids (over $1200), but luckily a girl on a message board I frequent lead me in this other direction. I got basically the same chair and ottoman for less than HALF that cost PLUS got to choose the fabric and color. Pretty sweet deal. I am a happy pregnant lady :D
Afterwards we decided to grab a bite since it was still early enough in the day we could get into a restaurant without waiting 2 hours. We had a lovely meal at Outback Steakhouse! So all in all it was a great Valentine's Day!
Today I didn't do much of anything. Haven't stepped out of the house actually. I woke up and have been battling a nice sinus headache. It's eased up some now that I finially decided to take some Sudafed. One of the many perks of being pregnant is the EXTREMELY short list of medication you can take for relief.
The kids took a needed afternoon nap while Bob and I dined on a childhood classic: fishsticks and macaroni. We then laid in our bed and snuggled while watching "The Wrath of God" on the History Channel LOL - it was a series about various snow storms and blizzards that have occured in the US, including the story about the Donner party in the Sierra Nevadas. Pretty interesting stuff.
Days like this happen and you think two things........#1 Man I am SO old that staying home all day, watching the History channel and doing nothing is considered a GREAT day and #2 Why can't I have more days like today!?
Have a great weekend and talk to you soon!

My first blog post....
So my blog pusher friend Rachel totally twisted my arm to start up a blog. I really enjoy reading her blog, as well as a few others here and there. Out of PURE laziness, I didn't have one of my own!
Well I'm here watching the re-air of Project Runway on a Tuesday night and decided, what the hey.....so here goes!
For those who randomly found my blog HIYA! My name is Kelly. I am a wife and mother of 2 great kids. I'm also 25 weeks pregnant with our third child due in late May. So that is your warning about my scatter brained ramblings. Just in case you read and ever think to yourself, "What the heck is this woman talking about." LOL The emotions and thoughts running through a pregnant lady's brain on a daily basis are about as pure crazy as you can get without being put away in a padded cell. Don't believe me? Ask my husband *wink*
Another thing you should know about me is that I have a horrid and uncontrollable urge to constantly use multiple periods between thoughts in a sentence. I know there is a name for this (............) but alas the pregnancy brain has struck and that proper name has escaped me. If this annoys you, too bad LOL
So I'm sitting here and my dear sweet husband is in the office on the computer. Normally this would not be a problem. Tonight it is. Why, you ask? Well, as most of you know.....tomorrow is Valentines day. So being the tired and over exerted pregnant lady I am......I didn't have a card or small gift for him until I went to Walmart earlier in the evening. So I got him all taken care of......even stopped at the candy store and bought him his fav......chocolate covered pretzels! It's all in the back of my van......in the garage.
On a normal night, when I don't have gifts stashed in the van, my dear husband would have left to visit the two pizza shops we own. That would give me at LEAST 45 mintues minimum to get the gifts in and wrapped. But noooooooooo he hasn't gone tonight. So I'm faced with a delimma. Maybe I could go in there and ask him if he's going to go......but it's almost midnight, so probably not. I could get up early tomorrow and do it......but that won't happen either I'm sure. Being that I am a tired and exerted pregnant woman and all......I like to sleep late. Hmmmm. See I don't think it'd be a big deal really, but I made it seem to him that I already had my gift bought, wrapped and ready to go. I do this as part of my wife quilt quota. You know we have to fill that quota each month and ESPECIALLY at the holidays.
So I'd feel guilty to let him know that I wasn't as prepared and organized as I let on previously. And to top it, when I got home from Walmart......he was here......and there was a gorgeous bouquet of red roses waiting for me on the kitchen table! LMAO
And that is where I'm at.....sitting here watching Project Runway.....at almost midnight......thinking of the gifts I have for my dear husband........sitting in the back of my van.
