21 weeks, 1 day

I wasn't going to post today - but since Kate has no power and this provides her some enjoyment then I will sit my bum on the couch and type. Promising something amusing, however, is another story...

Today was Thursday, and honestly Thursday for me is only enjoyable because it is immediately followed by Friday which is the end of the work week! It is also immediately after Wednesday, which is the most common day to commit suicide - a lovely fact that I happen to know that I share as often as possible. Whenever talking about work stuff I always mention it.

For instance - today I was talking with Anna and for some reason we were talking about Secret Santa...oh! I told her if I got her name this year I would buy her and Arc notebook from staples. She said she'd fold the corner of her name in the hat so I'd know which one to pull. Haha! Then she mentioned doing little gifts every year and we both agreed that was too much. However, a small gift once a week is doable. First I suggested Friday - but then realized we are doing Coffee Haven Friday - so that wouldn't given time to sneak in an item and hide it where our person would find it. So then I threw out Wednesday and again shared my unnecessary fact that it's the most common day to commit suicide.

Good story, huh?

I attempted to get dressed this morning, but quickly realized I didn't have the items in my maternity wardrobe to pull off the look I wanted. And I'll go ahead and admit the look that I wanted to sport today was inspired by an outfit that a Kindergartener work yesterday. Yep, a 5 year old. I need more plain long sleeve shirts, which is comical because I had two picked out when Kara and I went shopping and I talked myself out of getting both. All in the name of being frugal!

My final story for the day is to brag about the amount of dinner I put down my gullet. I ate about 8 1/2" of a 12" sub (I measured it) and a bag of salt and vinegar chips (I didn't really measure it, that was a lie). I am feeling incredible full and content. Now I just need to lay myself down on the couch and get ready to sleep! I did not sleep well last night between Jake and his largeness and my pulled neck/back muscle. I could move in my sleep without waking up in pain, and turning over to try to give one side of my body a rest was a painful chore! I ended up booting Jake from the bed and yelling at him in an attempt to sleep somewhat comfortably. To top if off, I work one the of stick on heat pads today and was asked all day "What happened?!"...but it feels better now. Not all better, but better.
