Happy Misery

Well- we survived last weekend! That's about all I can say . . .

Jon worked a "double" - - 30 hours straight each shift at the hospital- from early morning Friday to mid day on Saturday, he came home and rested, then went back and did the same thing Sunday into Monday. Yikes! He was so tired! I am also MISERABLE!! I am most definitely feeling pregnant - - extremely queasy and soooo tired. I feel bad for my kids- mommy has not been her normal self! The older kids have been pretty understanding, especially Cynthia. She is so cute about the pregnancy- she tells everyone we see and keeps saying things like "I am so glad you are having another baby!" and "You aren't feeling well because there is a baby in your tummy." I titled this post "Happy Misery" because that is exactly how I feel. I wouldn't change how I am feeling for the world- because I means I really am having another baby! This is what we want! Anyway, it was a long weekend for the kids too- they had Monday and Tuesday off. By Tuesday night we were out of so many grocery essentials, such as milk, because there was NO WAY I was going to be able to go to the store with all three of my children! I felt like such a slacker! Even when Tuesday night came and Jon was home- I didn't have enough energy to go, even by myself, so Jon ended up going. Thanks honey for picking up the slack. So- just surviving is OK, right??

Saturday was Valentine's day, but we didn't go out because, well, we both knew we would not be up for it! We got pizza and Jon at least took the night off from doing his patient logs or dictations so we could catch up on some episodes of Lost. IT was actually just what I needed that night.

I loved my Valentine's Day gift. Each rose represents me and the kids. The white one is me, the Yellow one is Marcus (Spongebob is is favorite cartoon character), the red one is Cynthia (my Cynthia ROSE!), and the pink on is Lillian. The best is the chocolates he put in the vase . . . . Thank you Jon for thinking of me on Valentine's day! We have such an amazing life together!
