Thanksgiving

With the upcoming holiday.... it made me think of how thankful I am for the things I have. Of course I am thankful for my husband whom I almost lost a couple years ago to divorce. Which led to a make up, which in turn led to our beautiful son, Jacob.

I am thankful to have a great job that I enjoy every day...ok, almost every day.

I have a roof over my head, food in my belly, and for once in my life.... I actually do feel loved. Even through the antidepressants, I can still feel love.

I must admit that I am pretty numb to other emotions. Not really numb, but I feel them, and they are very dull.

However, when I am with my son.... his love for me burns into my soul. It's wonderful.

Thank you G-D for all that you have helped me attain. For G-D, I am truly thankful.

From Blah to Babyrific!

With the new year approaching fast and my Baby Byer countdown Widget now saying 90 days until the bundle o' joy arrives... I think it's time to get down to business with that extra place in the back of the house that we have tried to avoid for months now and make it baby ready. After all, the sock drawer will only last him for a few weeks or so. Better just get to it.

Ready, Set, Go!

Baby Byer Update

I recently visited one of my OBs. Yes, I said "one of" because I have 2 different offices that I have to go to. There's Regular OB and High Risk OB. These a courtesy of HR OB. Don't worry though, I only see the HR OB because of my insulin resistance. All is well as of right now.

During the ultrasound, he acted like a lil' ham for the "camera". Proving that yes, he will fit right into the family!

This second one is kind of shocking because he's looking right at us!!!

Long Weekend

So this is a long weekend for many. I know that I am enjoying the idea of not having to go back to work on Monday...

Although Tuesday, I will be so busy that I won't have time to breathe! Some say the longer weekend is not worth it. Me... I say it is. Tuesday will go by so fast that it won't even matter by Wednesday. Hehehe!

I'm just thankful for the 3 days of relaxation!

INs & OUTs

Hmmm, funny how long it's been since I last blogged. I have had a lot going on.

So good news first. I have recently found out I'm gonna be a mommy! Wow! A mommy! ......hmmm........ oh shit!

Well, it is funny ho much you think you know about life until it becomes apparent that you are going to be the teacher and roll model for someone else. It can totally flip you out. I am excited, yet scared all in one big ball of nerves.

No morning sickness yet. Just a little nauseated. I would love to be one of those lucky women that never throw up while with child! That would be fantastic!!! I'd be like Yayyyy for me!

One downer is this...because of the "Syndrome X", AKA; Insulin Resistance, I am VERY predisposed to becoming a victim of the gestational diabetes (the diabetes may stick around after the birth as well). Which in turn automatically makes me "high-risk". And therefore, basically, screws me and the wee one out of the birthing center of our choice.

I feel like I'm being told to go to jail, go directly to jail...and DO NOT collect $200.00! Ughhhghh!

Until next time people!

Shout Out...(you know who you are).

Good Times

Here's to good friends, good times & a hell of a bartender!

Happy 2007!

Too Much

Last night we went out with some of our friends. We met these people because we share a common interest. Corvettes. Now I must admit that I was not keen on the purchase of The Vette when my husband decided to do so. Now I think I have completely changed my tune.

"Why?", you ask. Well, I can give you some good reasons. Keith, RT & Sarah. They are a great bunch of people. If you are ever curious, check us out at Scenic Vettes.

I also walked away with a trophy for just making it through the night without passing out or throwing up! Yay for me!

Here's D and I having a good time. D, thanks for putting up with me last night!

Sometimes it is good to have too much. Too many cars, too many friends, and too much to drink!

What the fuck!?

That's right people, I said fuck. Now we all know this is one of my most favorite words. Can someone please tell me why people freak out over curse words? And why are they called "curse" words?

Having said that, I know that I am around the age of becoming a parent. I can't very well have little children running around screaming fuck all the time. But why? It just seems wrong to me because I have always been told that it was a "bad" word.

What if i told the children it was a "grown-up" word that they couldn't say until they ripened in age? I am unsure...

As far as the kid thing goes, my hubby and i have 9 parents and 1 bitch to contend with as grandparents.

What? ...You say, "how can one possibly have so many grandparents?". Well, here's the laundry list of people who will be grandparents, should my husband and i decide to reproduce.

His side:
mom & step-father
biological father &step-mother
adoptive father & the bitch

My side:
mom & step-dad
dad & step-mom

Until later my pets...

Envy & Despair

Sorry about the no posting lately people. Lots of things going on.

I found out that my best friend, Yes, best friend since sixth grade thankyouverymuch...she's gonna have a baby! Yay! The best of luck wished for her and her hubby!

Also, my grandfather is in the hospital, due for open heart surgery tomorrow. six bypasses.

Lots goin' on, I just didn't want you all to think that I abandoned the blog world. I love you guys and could never leave you!

Later...

Random Meetings

Tonight the hubby, BIL and myself wondered around Chattanooga doing what would seem to some as random.

Now, we usually always have Chinese food.
This is a much debated subject. No one ever knows what they want to eat, so we give up and eat at the, (no, not Jimmy), buffet.

After the "random" dinner, we decide to partake of technology and literature and caffeine, oh my!

Which loosely translates into stopping by the buy that is the best, taking in crafty things, and looking at food that we wouldn't actually buy anyways.

After that there is the splendid world of books and coffee. You should see this books store. I bet they have at least a million different titles! We read these books and thumb through more, but these are not books that we would actually buy anyways. Caffeine can also be found at this particular place.

I choose a mocha and Real goes for the gingerbread. We eat sweets, drink our frappes, and talk. (Really, is there a seasonal bi-polar syndrome? If not ,there should be.)

Magazines,comics and collectible books are read.

The evening is finished by some of us with a night cap to the devil's five and dime.

Really a nice, quality evening.
