Lighten Up!

I feel like I need to lighten the mood here on my blog. I don't like to be a complainer, and I can't stand that the last post has been sitting there at the top of my blog for so long. So, I decided to tell you a couple of funny things that made me laugh yesterday.

I was talking to El Guapo about how our bodies have changed so much in the past (almost) ten years since we got married. He has been so annoyed that he is starting to gain weight in his tummy. I tell him that he is just finally getting a 'Daddy belly' and I love it! He said, "I have lived my whole life without a father figure, I don't need one now!"

Earlier in the day I was talking to my little sister about our skin and the fact that mine has not been that great for the last couple of years (pregnancy and nursing was good to me, but then I took a little break from that and my skin was not happy). She told me about some face wash that she just bought and it reminded me of a funny thing that happened last year with Dusty. This is a story that I would normally put on the boys' individual pages (if you click on their pictures on the sidebar you can read funny things that they have said or done) but I just wanted to share it here because it was just too hilarious to hide on his page that no one visits.

Two years ago, around Christmastime Dusty said, "I totally want that!" at every toy commercial. Then last year he started in the summertime to say, "I totally want to get that for you." to any commercial that had to do with women. Dove, Colgate Total, Tide, Summer's Eve, etc. It was too funny. Well, one day a Proactive commercial came on and Dusty said, "Mommy, I want to get that for you." He then turned around to look at me and said, "Oh, you already have that." I thought it was interesting that he said that, then I realized that he was talking about the BEFORE pictures. Yes, I did already have that. Nice.

Well, it was really nice to have a little laugh yesterday. I hope it made you laugh too.

If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all.

Many of you know that I am pregnant. It has not been much of a secret since my (dear, sweet) husband decided to announce it on his Facebook less than a week after we found out! I'll admit it took me a while (probably until I saw the cute, little baby on the ultrasound a few weeks ago [see photo on my sidebar]) to get used to the idea, but I am happy about it and can't wait to have this baby join our family.

That is my excuse for not posting here lately. I get very sick (even on medications) for the entire pregnancy. It is hard to describe it to other women that don't feel like this during their pregnancies (so I won't try). It's just pretty horrible, and let's just face it, I don't have many nice things to say about it. I have even had a hard time posting updates on my Facebook status. All I really want to say is... Scrappy is counting down the minutes until she can take another Zofran. or...Scrappy wishes she was asleep because that is the only time she feels well. or...Scrappy hopes her children's brains don't turn into mush because of all of the video games and TV. Yeah, not very nice at all.

I really do have nice things to say though. I have had so many people offer to help. I am overwhelmed by the kindness and generosity of others. It is really hard to let people help me, but when I ask other people if they need something I want them to tell me what I can do, and I assume that is what others want too. I think we will all be blessed for their kindness, especially them.

So, if you don't hear from me much for a while, just know that I am happy, but just trying to make it through. I will get back to posting when I have a lot of nice things to say. :)
