September 28, 1999
Hello, all, on this glorious day! And what a day it has been. Where should
I
start?.........
Ok, how about with this morning's doctor appointment. It was at 9:40 a.m., I was weighed (and woo woo! I am not the heifer I thought I was!!!!), and my blood was pressure taken. Then I had a terrible half hour wait for the doctor. I think another patient was having a very bad problem..... However, I needed to be out of there in time to get some photos over to my sister at work buy 10:30 a.m. and then get to a hair appointment. Well, I rushed out of the office, picked up my DH, and started for the interstate. Out of habit I took the west exit instead of the east. I had to drive 6 miles to get someplace to turn around.
Well, we had to skip going to my sister's and go straight to the hair appointment, only I didn't know which exit to take on the road I needed. I managed to go north when I need to go south! Yet another u-turn...
So, hair is done, photos finally get to my sister and now lunch.
Lunch is done, and now I need to run to a K-mart to get some Martha Stewart paint for my mom (my sis is gettin' hitched this weekend and my mom wants to spruce up the house before the masses descend). Get to K-mart, and the paint machine is broken. Try to get back on the interstate and go the wrong way AGAIN!!!!!!! Must drive 10 miles to turn around. Make it home 2 minutes before my husband has to be at the chiropractor..... ARGH!!!!!!!!! Pregnancy Brain!!!!
Got home, mopped the kitchen (twice) and made low-fat turkey meat loaf. I am sooooooo tired and really didn't accomplish much!!!! Almost my entire to-do list has to be transferred to tomorrow. ;-( This whole wedding thing is driving me batty. Everything happens at the last minute, and today it all went wrong. I am still wondering when my mom is going to finish my dress...
But, the day really is saved by the fact that I haven't gained too much weight this month! I tried so hard to be good and it paid off. Please understand, I would never ever diet while pregnant -- there are just always choices to be made. I started this pregnancy weighing 15 pounds more than I should, and I look 6 months pregnant at 5 months. I already weigh more now than I did full term with Lydia! But, the Squidge is doing well and being all squiggly-wiggly so that keeps me happy.
Sorry this was so long, but man, it was quite a day. I am going to relax tonight and watch the Real World. What an inappropriately named show. There is NOTHING real about it and, quite frankly, I can't stand any of the whiny people on it...
Wow, what a ramble!
See ya!
Amy and The Squidge
