"Goodbye Old Faithful"

Paul loves his alarm clock, good old faithful.

He got it his freshman year of high school, and gets very irritated whenever I even mention the small possibility of maybe, just maybe replacing it. It's like a friend to him.

Well Friday he got in one of those project moods and decided to paint our master bedroom (we painted it a brown awhile ago, and we have both have always HATED it). I thought it was a great idea. Somehow after the room was freshly painted he agreed to replacing old faithful, not happily agreed but agreed. So I jumped at the oppurtunity...I could tell the ordeal was hard for him but it was time. In with new, out with the old...it was time for retirement.

"The Old"
"The New"

So Paul's project mode sent me straight into project mode so I tackled refinishing our dresser, which has also been on the "To Do" list for awhile. We have this dresser that my mom had given us that is solid and sturdy, just after time and a few moves it was wearing down so I gave it a fresh look with a little paint and new knobs.

...and After

(the lighting in our room was a little weird, so sorry for the glare on the first picture and the blur in the second picture)

So at the end of the day our room was freshly painted bringing a much more light and refreshing feel. And with a spiced up dresser and a new clock the day came to an end.

I love those kind of days!

My Life as "The Pregnant Lady"...

4:50 a.m.-"Do I really have to wake up fo my run? I'm tired"
5:05-"Okay, I'm Up and I'm going..."
5:30-"Oh it really does feel good to get out and run. But man I can't go as far as I used to be able to. Oh well, something is good I guess"
6:30"Oh that was nice, but what I would give to crawl back in bed."
Raegan"Mom I'm thirsty and I'm hungry"
"Okay, the day begins"
9:30 "Could I really be hungry again, I swear I ate breakfast an hour ago?? I'm hungry, yet nothing actually sounds good. Dang!""
10:30-"Okay, I'm dragging...I really need to eat now...whether it sounds good or NOT...I nEeD food asap"
12:00-"Yep...you guessed it, eat again. LUNCHTIME"
1:00-"Kiddos, I love your guts but it's time for naps. I know, you're not tired...but I know you really are so hop in beds"
1:30-"I SHOULD keep working on chores while the house is quiet...oh, but that couch is calling my name I think I'll cave...for just a little bit. I'll set the alarm-30 minutes."
2:00-"beep, beep...15 more minutes, please?"
2:30-"Okay, okay I'm up. Just give me a minute to stand up, I get a bit dizzy after naps..okay, I did it. I'm up!"
3:00-"Now I have my second wind, how much can I squeeze in before dinner?"
4:30-"It's time to start making dinner, what should we have tonight? I was going to make enchiladas...but now that sounds horrid. What do we have stuff to make? Tacos...that doesnt sound good tonight. Okay, nothing really sounds good. We'll go with Pasta, I guess!"
5:30-"Dinner's on the table! Eat up!"
6:30-"I'm tired. Is it 7:30 yet?? "
7:30-"Kids it's time for bed!! I love you, I love you, I love you!! Sweet Dreams"
7:45-"Oh, I'm pregnant so no guilt in finishing up a few things, then throwing some P.J.s on and crashing on the couch in front of some good 'ol T.V. with my hubby"
9:30-"It feels like Midnight...g'night"

Okay, everyday isn't exactly like that! We do leave the house, I promise! But you get the point....hungry, yet nothing sounds good and lots of tIrEd!! But...here's the good news only one more week in the 1st Trimester and I am already feeling so so so much better. It only gets better from here, for a few months at least.

(This post wasnt meant as complaining, I am lucky and grateful and most days LOVE being pregnant)
