Another Weekend Gone

There's something about Sunday nights. When I was school age I was always trying to get homework done at the last minute and get geered up for another week of learning. Especially in college I never enjoyed Sunday nights. They were always a bit stressful after being tired from a long weekend of "relaxing" and trying to study without falling asleep. When I was in the "real working world", it was always a bit stressful trying to remember what I was suppose to teach the next day, what games we had to play for whatever sport I was coaching. Nowadays as I live the good life, Sunday nights are pretty good. We almost always have Sunday night dinner at my parents - and it's no plain dinner - it's like Christmas/Thanksgiving dinner every week. FABULOUS. I usually try and have the house cleaned up a bit before we go down for dinner so when we come back home the kids go up for bath and Shawn and I can relax after the house is finally quiet. Not so bad! Of course, now that Austin is in school we don't get to lounge around on Monday mornings - it's up and 'atem at 6:15, get dressed, eat, brush teeth, go potty, get backpack and out the door - repeat those steps 4 times, eliminating the backpack part for the two girls and adding in put a little makeup and deodorant on for me. Oh and add do the dishes for me too - at least until Gabriella can reach the sink to help out. Crazy Sundays.
As for the weekend, Shawn accomplished quite a bit - our deck got stained - very cool! And we raked (not so much "we") and mowed. Our grass looks awesome - Shawn has worked hard on the grass this year - it's looking awesome - I hate to see it go brown during the winter ahead. The weatherman actually said it could snow flurry on Wednesday! YIPES!
Tomorrow should prove to be interesting. I am 29 weeks prego -getting pretty prego looking these days and feeling that way too. Only 10 weeks to go. And after the level 2 sono we had to have the said my due date is actually Dec 25th! We won't be changing the c-section date though. I have never gone into labor, never had a contraction...sure hope this isn't the year for it. Anyway, we had our glucose test last week, I was 3 for 3 on passing with my kiddos, but this baby just seems to enjoy giving us trouble as I didn't pass. So, tomorrow morning I have to go back for more blood tests. Doesn't sound so bad, oh wait, yes, it does. I have to fast after midnight tonight - no food (uh, no food? I'm prego....) I have to be at the doc at 8:30 to drink the yummy sugar drink, then the draw my blood, then I sit in the waiting room for 1 hour, then they draw my blood, then I sit in the waiting room for an hour, then they draw my blood, then I sit in the waiting room for 1 hour, then they draw my blood. I am not aloud to eat or drink anything. (oh - did I mention that I am prego and hungry all the time???) All in all, I sit there for 3 hours - are you kidding me??? Apparently they don't realize that I have 3 kids to take care of and that I am hungry all the time. Oh well, I am sure I will survive, I am sure I will be VERY cranky come 11:30 tomorrow, but I did go to the library and got some good books to read while sitting there. So, say a little prayer that I get through it all without being too terribly miserable, although everyone I have talked to said that isn't possible. Thanks to Michelle for waking up way before her usual time to come over and watch my kids all morning. And Shawn is going to attempt the carpool duties of picking up Austin at school tomorrow - he may need more prayers than me!
I better go have a snack before bedtime...
Hope you are having the time of your life!
