Here I am...

OOOOFTAH!!! yes, we do say that in Minnesota. If you've seen the movie Fargo we do talk like that. No one wants to admit it, but Ooh yaah, you betcha we shurre doo! Anyway, I am so tired. 2 days shy of being 36 weeks being pregnant and I feel like I could go anytime. I am huge and uncomfortable. Water buffalo. I can't even wear my wedding rings because by the end of the day my fingers look like sausages! OOOFTAH!!! I'm so ready to meet this little guy. I have a feeling though that i'll probably go right up to my due date (1 month from today!!) So i'll just wait uncomfortably until he makes his appearance. There is a silver lining... my last day of work is April 21st!! And not just maternity leave, but full on, done with work, going to be a stay at home mom! I have been at my job just shy of 4 years. There have been many good days, lots of not so great days, and lately too many really bad days. Maybe because I'm just crabbier when i'm preggo? But i kid you not, Middle School kids are so LOUD! I swear their words come out in screams and they like to talk back! I guess it's good practice for the future, but it's really starting to drive me insane. I don't remember screaming and yelling in Middle School? But maybe because my school was 7-12 grade so if you walked the halls screaming a big 12th grader would slam you into the locker?! Anyway, i am so excited for next Thursday. I'll miss seeing some of my pals daily, and having my husband right down the hall for when I have a melt down and go running to his room balling... (of course i always make sure he is not teaching when i do this, could you imagine?) But I'll get to be home with my little guy and we can just have melt downs together. And 1 baby screaming will probably be nicer than 1500! In the next couple of days I'll post pics of the baby's room. I just need to put up some curtains and we are ready to roll. Spring is here and i'm in sandals full time now! YIPPY!

I don't talk like that do I? Ha!

3 cheers for no more middle school and staying at home with a kiddo!

PS—You looked smoking hot Thursday. Very non-water buffalo-esque.

So now with Christmas almost upon us, I wanted to take the last few days to make some Christmas Crafts. This weekend I spied this AWESOME clothespin wreath on Pinterest which lead me to  Hambly Screen Prints Blog . Not only is it a fantastic blog with fun projects, it's also an online store full of the coolest scrapbook\crafting supplies. If you haven't been to Hambly Screen Prints...  GO NOW ! The clothespin wreath was so fun and easy to make!  Supplies you need: Wooden clothespins scrapbook papers Washi tape (or decorative tape) You can buy washi tape at Hambly, Amazon.com, etsy, Michaels or most craft stores) Glue Thick cardboard for circle (or Michaels sells pre-made circle forms) Felt to cover cardboard (although I skipped that step) Decorate your clothespin however you like. Mine were a combination of scrapbook paper, decorative tape from Martha Stewart and glitter.  The longest part was cutting all the strips and gluing them on, but once they are done it&

A Book and A Giveaway

As I said I would be doing in my 7 Resolutions, I am reading a book a week. This past week I read the book Precious, based on the Novel Push by Sapphire. I'm sure most of you have heard about the movie based on the novel. The book club that I belong to is reading this book and now that I read it, I am going to give it away. The book was very eye opening, raw. You really don't want to believe that children have to live like this, that this is reality for many children\teens. Incest, rape, abuse, lack of education, lack of everything! I know this stuff happens, but you don't want to believe it. I work at a Middle School, and I look around and wonder what happens to some of these kids when they go home. My heart breaks. It's not an easy read by any means, but it will make you think and feel. If you would like this book just leave me a comment. I'll post a winner on Feb. 1.
