So, I’m not really sure what season it is anymore. I just know I’m sneezing, coughing my head off and looking outside expecting green grass and tulips for my trouble and all I’ve been seeing is snow, snow run off and rocks.
The rocks are more my fault than the weather’s. I can blame a lot on the weather, but probably the lack of grass and tulips is more because we’ve never planted them. Just a hunch.
My in-laws came in town for a few days last week after we got home from Durango and we had a fabulous time with them. Though, I’m fairly certain they’ll come here expecting to be bored out of their minds now. Between my tonsillitis and Jon’s springbreakitis, we weren’t exactly the picture of excitement. We did a lot of sitting on the couch. But sitting on the couch can lead to talking, so Jon and I had a great time. We got to rest, we got to catch up with the parental units, and I just hope they had a good time as well. We did manage to fit a couple of shopping trips in and found a couple of adorable outfits for our little man. 🙂 Yay! And, my father-in-law treated us to several meals out, which was just fabulous.
They left early, early, early yesterday morning. Jon and I had already decided that it wasn’t worth seeing the nasty looks on people’s faces at church when they heard my coughing and throat-clearing and just general yuckiness even though I’ve been faithfully taking my antibiotics and I’m no longer considered contagious, so we stayed home from church. Jon drove his parents to the airport and then came home and joined me in sleeping in. Greg and Connie may or may not have gotten back to California (plus a layover in LA) before Jon and I woke up.
I’ll never tell.
Plus, I was sick. Sick and pregnant. So, I’m thinking that if there was ever a reasonable excuse to sleep in past what most of the population would consider a decent time for lunch, I’ve got it.
We spent yesterday afternoon watching a movie and then headed to my parent’s house for dinner and depression since we were keeping an eye on the government’s fantastic idea to pass something that 73% of the country despises. Seriously, folks. I’m not good at math, but I do know that 73% of anything is usually the majority.
So, between last night’s vote and having to get back to our non-spring-break routine today, I think both Jon and I will be sort of grouchy tonight. Which is why I might propose Air Force One for after dinner. I don’t know what being grouchy and Air Force One have to do with each other, but it just sounds like a good movie tonight. Actually, confession time – Harrison Ford was my first movie star crush at the ripe old age of eleven, so maybe I still have a soft spot for him. Despite his fairly weird personal life.
We are at a week and a half until Cool Beans releases! Yay! 🙂
What did you guys do this week?

This has nothing to do with the post, but when I was reading it I saw the little "your baby is the size of" picture/boxy thing and for some reason my brain read elephant instead of egg plant. I knew that most definitely was not right so I has to stop and process in my head while starting at the picture in slight confusion. I think the fact that I literally spend the past 4 hours on math homework and drinking a pot of coffee may have something to do with that. lol Glad you had a good weekend! I'm getting a little tiered of seeing the ugly leafless tree in my back yard. This winter/spring confusion is going on far to long this year! The atmosphere needs to make up it's mind! =p
I spent my weekend tending to sick family members and writing about homicides… fun fun. I will watch Mulan after class tonight. 😉
Thanks for the post — it definitely brightened my day. 🙂
You always portray a cheery disposition no matter how gloomy the circumstances. You have a gift with words.
I am counting down the days until I receive Cool Beans in the mail…which I pre-ordered sometime last year! I am currently in desperate need of a new book, and this is one I've waited for since the last page of Match Point. Can't wait!
Spent the weekend at church for various occasions including music rehearsals and our young adults group. Also celebrated a friend's birthday and bundled up one too many times for living in Houston!
Praying for your growing family!
Sorry you feel so yucky – I'm just now succumbing to my first cold of the season, (which I guess makes me pretty lucky).
I totally hear you on the vote….. my friend who is a family doctor with a joint practice is really concerned……
I can't wait for your book to come out either – but, then I've told myself I have to wait to read it on the plane to Orlando at the end of April…but just getting it will be fun.
Have a great Tuesday!
I ordered a copy of Cool Beans! I will receive it Friday!!! I am so excited! I pray that you feel better and sleep with lots of junk food is best ofr pregnant women I hear, lol.
