2 More Days and Other Thoughts

Two more days until the ultrasound. I am getting anxious. I have a kind of nervous energy that doesn't entirely go away no matter how much I try to distract myself. It leaves me to do a lot of thinking...and that isn't always a good thing!

I've never been a big eater. I'll eat when I am hungry, but I have never really thought about food as anything more than something I need to eat to survive. Lately, though, I can't get enough of it. I can be eating and still be hungry thinking about my next meal. It's crazy. Today I have had 2 bananas, 1 avocado (it was there so I thought why not?), 4 carrots, 2 BLT sandwiches, an instant breakfast in a glass of whole milk (whole milk is the way to go now), a half a loaf of banana nut bread--well probably closer to a full loaf now, 2 containers of yogurt, and dh is off getting me a western bacon cheeseburger and fries. I feel like I am always eating! So not like me.

I think there is a conspiracy here at my house. Not only does my husband continue to snore most nights, but my cat has taken it up too. That is pretty darn sad, isn't it? I can't get away from it! Now, admittedly, good ole dh snores quite a bit louder than the cat, but still.

Dh has been occupied lately with a bee problem we have discovered. It looks like we have a hive in our chimney. Call the exterminator, I suggest. No, we'll just smoke them out, he replies. Well, five fires and three days later, I found yet another bee in the house. He still won't admit defeat, but I do have him close to calling someone. Maybe tomorrow will be the day. Who knows?

I'm not looking forward to work tomorrow. I haven't quite gotten over my cold and my head feels best when it's on a pillow. Plus, I try not to eat in front of the kids, so it is going to be interesting trying to get all the food in while the kids are there. The good news is that I have only 18 more days until the end of school. Woohoo! I can't wait for summer!
