My Thoughts

I'm sitting here at my desk during the last portion of my lunch break & I have so many thoughts running through my head...SO, I thought I'd share them with all of you. This seems like a good use of time to me because my other option is to start working again! :)
The first thing on my mind is the weather in Amarillo. Today is the Chamber BBQ and is one of my dad's biggest events of the year. It would be disappointing for it to get rained out. My MeeMaw flew in yesterday to attend the BBQ for the first time so it would also be a bummer for it to rain all during her trip!
I'm relieved that Dylan seems to finally be getting over her sickness. We think we all got a little sick when Hurricane Gustav blew in all sorts of thing & I can't help but wonder if Ike will do the same thing. Speaking of Ike, I heard he was supposed to cause us 8-10 inches of rain this weekend. I'm curious if that will really happen! This weekend is Grapefest on Main Street in Grapevine. We went last year and had so much fun. I was looking forward to going Saturday to eat the yummy food & taking Dylan to the children's part which includes a petting zoo, but now it looks like rain instead.
I can't get Halloween out of my head. I know it sounds weird, but Savannah is due Nov 2. I'm really caught up on the thought of being in the hospital and missing Dylan's second Halloween. I know I'm not in control of those things, but I'm really trying to convince my body to listen to my idea of having her a little more than a week early so that we will all be home from the hospital by the time Halloween rolls around. I mean, come on - I already bought her a little costume!
I also have our future on my mind. Early on in this pregnancy Justin & I decided that the right thing for our family was for me to be a stay at home mom once Savannah was born. I informed my office of this early on and while they tried to talk me out of it, they ultimately understood. So that's been our mindset for the past several months. WELL, now I feel like everything is up in the air again. First off, the thought of adding a new person to the household and losing an income at the same time is scary...especially when Justin's job is basically all commission. I found out that I can get part-time day care at a slight discount and my office had already approached me about working part time, but keeping full benefits. I thought it was more than a coincidence that I found out about part time day care and Justin's insurance cost for the whole family on the same day. My benefits are better & much cheaper so that is a big factor. I've asked my office to come back at me with a part time salary so for now we are just waiting until we can weigh our options again. No matter what - it'll be a leap of faith and we will pray about it & trust the Lord guides us in the right direction.
I of course have this little girl inside of me constantly on my mind. At the moment I'm trying to figure out if what I have sticking out of me is an elbow? knee? fist? I'm not good at knowing those things!
Justin just called which made me so happy. Since he was out of town on Tuesday night I was so excited to see him last night when I got home from work. I didn't think ahead to how tired & sore he would be so didn't think about the fact he wouldn't be up to lots of chit chat with me. But on the phone just now he was back to himself so - yeah!! I probably annoyed him last night because all he wanted to do was crash...he informed me he'd taken part in picking up 10,000 shotgun shells, attempted to clean all the mud off his truck & had to eat his lunch while standing in the rain. So hopefully, his day has been better!
My final thought is how cute Dylan is when she sings Twinkle, Twinkle and Itsy Bitsy Spider. I really need to get that on camera & then I'll try to get it on the blog. Does anyone know how to post a video on here?
Ok, enough of my thoughts. This was probably a really boring post to most of you, especially since I don't have any new, cute pictures to include, but now you know what runs through the mind of a crazy, pregnant women in a matter of seconds. Alright, back to work & all the work related items I've been shutting out! Have a great day. We love you all!
