Lonely Pregnant Person Ramblings...

It's late. I should be in bed. But I hate going to bed without Jonny. AND I hate getting up 2x/night to go to the bathroom because a wee lass is sitting on my bladder. So I sit up and read people's blogs that I don't even really know until I am so mind-numbingly tired I can't even think straight. And some of my thoughts are these:

-Why on earth do I bother dragging an 80 lb. diaper bag to church every Sunday when my children are bored and crying within 5 minutes anyway?

-To the female jogger that I almost ran over at 6:30am: The fact that you have a thin, reflective stripe down the front of your chest is more than a little bit overwhelmed by the fact that the rest of your outfit is black and you are running 5 feet out in the road. Are you crazy? Wait, you are out running at 6:30am in the freezing cold. You must be crazy.

-To my dear, dear Matthew: I am glad that you are developing in new ways all the time. However, your new words, "LET GO!! NO NO NO NO!" are getting on my nerves. Stop screaming at me and stop screaming at Emma. People are going to start saying you have a red-headed temper or something like that.




The end.

LMAO! Thanks for the chuckle. Oh sweet Amanda, I hope it's not too much longer that you have to be without your hubs. That Mathew is getting handsomer. Lyena's new thing is "I hate_____" you can pretty much fill in the blank with anything that she's not to happy with at the moment. Oh if only you could come back to beautiful Monterey and play. Take care of yourself!

I am told Ruby has the red headed temper all the time. Beautiful.

Amanda and Steve said...

Steve was visiting family in UT for 9 days and I was so lonely and I thought about how lonely you must be with Johnny being gone for so long. I have been thinking about you and want to talk to you. My minutes are tight but maybe this weekend when they are free! I'm sorry I haven't called earlier! Oh, and regards to Emma's comment on Jan.11: you should have said, "You're right honey. There are no accidents. I left you unbuckled on purpose hoping you would fly out the window."

Amanda and Steve said...

One more thing. I didn't miss Steve not being in bed with me. Maybe it's because I haven't been married long enough or maybe because I think a king size bed to myself is heaven.

Amy said...

Amanda, I'm the same way. When Lance stays out late on Friday nights to do designated driving I don't go to bed till 2 am. I read blogs too. If you ever run out, I love going to http://blogs.parentcenter.babycenter.com/momformation/
There is a link on my blogs called momformation. They are really fun.
Considering it all it sounds like you are doing well. You are one tough cookie!!

Jessica and Matt said...

Allright, so when I can't sleep or am staying up to late or putting off another load of laundry or need a break from the kiddos guess what I do? Read YOUR Blog!

Amanda - come to church with me, we'll stick the kids in one pew and you and I can sit in our own pew! Congrats on your new little princess!

Amy said...

Oh your ramblings made me laugh. It's good to know I'm not the only one that jumps on the soap box once in awhile.

Traveling is such a bear and to do it with the kids alone... wow what a trooper:) I'm glad you were able to see Jonny.

Samantha said...

Maybe if we could see a picture of the pregnant belly it would really help us feel your pain.

Jenny said...

It has taken over a year to learn to go to bed without adam. But I still sleep better when he is home.

just jen said...

all i want to know is WHY are you driving at 6:30am?

what could get you out of bed that early?

Lewis Family said...

Hello my long lost friend!! This is Leah Lewis! It is so wonderful to see your babies (not babies any more). Congrats on #3! Check out our blog at www.benandleahfamily.blogspot.com!

Kaedi said...

Geesh. Who jogs in arctic weather at 6:30 am? Crazy people!

Kaelee said...

Yes, blogging is good to numb the pain/boredom. Currently I am typing one-handed while my poopy baby is hanging haphazardly in the other arm with a bottle shoved crookedly in her mouth. Don't call child services. ps your kids are adorable.

Aubrey Norby said...

Love your ramblings! Love you!

Tim and Lara said...

why were you out at 6:30 am driving?!

Amanda said...

Jenni and Lara - I had a doctor's appt at 7am, hence the 6:30 outing. Crazy. I know.
