Bad blogger!!

I know, I know. It has been forever since I have written a blog here. Shush. I am stealing a quiet moment away - my son Zach is having his birthday party and there are about 20 little brats downstairs so I am hiding out in my room until their parents get here. I had no idea that parents had completely stopped teaching their children anything about manners or how to act as a guest in another person's home. When did this lack of manners and respect start becomming the norm in our society? No wonder kids grow up so fucked up in this day and age. Their parents have opted completely out of teaching their children anything about being proper and respecful. It is amazing. I am sitting here bewildered at how rude, disgusting, loud, and all around horrible these kids are. I would never allow my children out of the house if they acted half as bad as the rugrats here in my home tonight.

Anyway. On to news about the pregnancy. I am 22 weeks today - only 18 more to go before I meet by precious little bean. Baby G kicks up a STORM! It rolls around, and most of the time I get kicks both low in the belly and high around my belly button at the same time. Or on the far left side and far right side at the same time. The kid is so active. Oh, and when it hears music - forget about it! Goes completely nuts. It is so cool to get to know the personality of the baby so soon. He or she is always awake and active between 8:30 and 11:00 every night. It's cool because Chris is always home and I am chillin, all done with my millions of things to do everyday, so we just sit and watch our little creation moving and rolling in my tummy. It's one of our favorite pasttimes now-a-days.

As far as how I am feeling, pretty damn good considering I am raising 4 kids full time, 2 more part time, one of the full timers is severely special needs, finishing my last semester, Chris working more hours than before, and it's the holidays, which in my house doesn't just mean Thanksgiving and Christmas, but also 5 birthdays in 3 months! AHHHH!! My life is one of those insanely busy how-do-you-do-it kind of lives.............. But I have that 2nd trimester energy right now, which if you think about it is timed perfectly for me to get through all these birthdays and the holidays and be done just before my 3rd trimester hits and I am huge and exhausted all over again.

Life is awesome and amazing right now. Watching the changes my body is going through has been so neat, something I appreciate differently than I did the first time around. My marriage is perfect, my children are amazingly successful, everything is awesome!

I will try to post more often!!
