a pooey start to a great week!

Pleck! I had a yucky start to my week that involved waking up at 3 a.m. and having a relationship with my trash can...no more need be said. I stayed home from church b/c I couldn't decide if I had a bug or not...I think it was just a tummy ache...I don't have a temp & am feeling better. My bestest boyfriend is in the kitchen making me some french toast so I'm super excited about that. There's a church Thanksgiving fellowship tonight that I'm hoping I'll make it to...Mike and I skipped so many of those while we lived out of town b/c it was so hard to drive to church, drive home, drive back t0 church, and go home again...
I know he wants to go badly so I'm going to work on getting myself together.

Even though the day started crummy I know the week will be looking up. It's Thanksgiving & I have so much to be thankful for! For starters--a 3 day work week!!! Who wouldn't be excited about that? Sure I have lots to do in those 3 days but I love Thanksgiving and spending time with family so I'm looking forward to Thursday. (and Friday shopping of course--I'm banking on that putting me into labor!).
This year we are going to my grandma & grandpa's for Thanksgiving and then to Mike's grandma's for supper leftovers. We skipped my grandma's last year b/c it was 'Mike's year' so its off to the crazy Tallman's for lunch on Thursday. Nah, they're not all crazy--I'm mean I'll be there and I'm relatively sane... :) but it is loud, chaotic, and fun in its own way.

On a completely different note--we got Andrea & Vance all moved in yesterday. Okay, maybe not all moved in but everyone had a clean bed to sleep in so that counts for something. Obviously I wasn't much help except for with things like loading the bookshelves & putting away kids' toys...I didn't haul any boxes or anything, but she and I are so alike that I was able to put things away & know that it was relatively in her 'system.' She had sooo much moved already that the house was in some sort of order before we even started yesterday so that was a blessing. I'm so excited for her that she's finally in her dream house...sure a few things still need to be done, but there is nothing so wonderful as moving someone 'home'.

Okay, french toast is all done...off to eat!

Don't be so modest about your contribution to the move. You cooked everyone a very yummy lunch, complete with desert. And I saw you use your supper strength to left a table by yourself and move it across the room.

lol...don't tell people that--they would frown if they knew! some folks think I should be oh, so delicate in these last days of pregnancy. let me tell ya--if you weren't raised delicate it doesn't come naturally!
