To Do List

• Christmas cards = DONE
• Christmas baking = DONE
• Christmas shopping = not so much
• grocery shopping = nadda
• find a Christmas outfit (that FITS!!) =nope
• wrap presents = half done
• grading of finals = DONE

I'm on vacation now so I WILL have all of this finished by thursday. I still hate to shop (which is solely pregnancy related because normally I LOVE to shop!!) which is hindering my productivity in most of these categories. I will just have to suck it up and get out there. Normally the shopping and wrapping is completely finished before Thanksgiving even roles around. Oh well! It will get done and if not then I'll just have to put the presents under the tree like Lee does...in the bag from the store he bought it at. Lol!

Thanks for the suggestions!!

I will take a look for a local message board and/or check out the twin cities one as that's not too far away. Not that I need to be close to the people I talk to, but locals have insight on kids stuff happening in the area too which would be very nice.

Onto the next question... for those of you that have had several babies, have you had more pain/stretching/pulling/ with each pregnancy? I had some ligament pain with Makenna but nothing like this. I'm in some sort of abdominal pain about 25-50% of every day. Is that normal? Or am I defective;) I'm finally not feeling like crap (except for the pain) and super duper tired so I'm hoping this pain thing will go away too.

This is my finals week at school!! Have I told you how much I LOVE finals week as a teacher?!! Its great! I'm off to Dallas Wed-Fri for an AQHA meeting then rushing home to be at graduation for my first students Friday night @ 6pm. Then I will be laying on the couch relaxing for most of Saturday if I can get Makenna, Lance & Pain in the Front baby to cooperate;)

OK Mommas.....

What message boards do you frequent for baby/toddler advice? Or just mom support? I just jumped back on WebMD and the boards are totally different looking and it just freaked me out so I left:/ Lol!

Any suggestions?

TIA!!

6 yrs, 18 months & 13 weeks.

Dec 4th... Lance & I celebrated our 6th wedding anniversary. I can't even imagine where the time has gone:)

Dec 6th.... Makenna turned 1.5 yrs old or 18 months. AGAIN....where has the time gone?!

This week I'm 13 weeks and almost out of the 1st trimester! YAY! Hence the blogging again. I've been SO tired. As soon as Makenna is in bed (between 8-8:30pm), I'm heading to bed right after. Its been nearly impossible to get anything accomplished. I actually feel better this week. Not as tired... I'm sure I'll still be in bed before 10pm but at least its not before 9pm!! Progress:)
