Morning Thunderstorm

Scared of the thunder this morning

My dogs hate thunder.  Whenever it rains, we usually end up with Zeke (the big one) up in our laps because he gets so frightened.  When I woke up this morning, it was black as night outside and we were in the middle of a nice thunderstorm.  I opened the bathroom door after my shower to find Zeke standing there waiting for me.  As soon as he could squeeze in, he huddled up in the bathroom with me.  Izzy soon followed and they sat there like this until I finished my morning routine.  Then they followed me around the house until I left.  I almost hated to kennel them when I had to leave because I knew all they wanted was a little snuggling.

And Now I Need a Nap

I’m finding it harder and harder to blog these days because I feel like all I have to write about is how tired and uncomfortable I am. I’ve been trying not to complain too much (in real life, anyway) but everything I do just seems so much harder right now. It gets really frustrating when doing even simple things wears me out so quickly. I want to keep up with my regular pace, but it just isn’t possible anymore.

Weekends seem to be especially busy around here and this weekend was no exception. Saturday morning Zach and I headed out to the mall so that I could get a desperately needed hair cut and Zach could get a couple more pairs of desperately needed shoes. My mom met me at the hair salon so she could sit with Zach while I was getting my hair trimmed up. They had some fun with Grandma’s camera while they were waiting.

After that, we finished up our shopping and then let Zach ride the carousel in the mall. He was very excited to ride on the horsey and was very unhappy when he had to get off even after getting to ride a second time.

After that we grabbed some lunch and then headed home just in time for Zach to get a nap in.

(Just to show you exactly how tired I am, I couldn’t even finish this post in one sitting. Zach got up and when I went to put him back to bed I fell asleep with him! Good thing I saved my post before I got up!)

Then it was time for Sesame Street Live. Zach was really excited to see Elmo. We met up with my sister and her family for the show. My 8-year-old nephew was not so excited about Sesame Street, but he did at least enjoy his cotton candy. Zach, Ryan, and even little Brayden seemed to really enjoy the show. I kept trying to get pictures of Zach smiling while he was watching, but he was so into it that he sat with a very serious expression on his face through the whole thing!

Sunday was a very busy day as well. We had church, a dinner after church, took Zach for a haircut (because I was just too lazy to do it myself this time), then a small Super Bowl party at our house. It is now Tuesday and I’m still trying to catch up!

32 Weeks

32 Weeks32 Weeks down, 8 more to go.

I’ve already done my griping for the week, so today I’ll just leave you with this lovely picture of the basketball that I seem to be carrying around under my shirt.  I had to make it black and white because I had just gotten out of the shower and I was all splotchy from the hot water.  Red splotches just aren’t that pretty, although they do go well with the extra chin that I seem to have gained recently.

We’ve got another busy weekend planned.  I’m hoping to get a haircut and some shopping done in the morning, then we are taking Zach and the nephews to see Sesame Street Live which should be fun.  Then Sunday is the Super Bowl and we’ll be having a little shindig over at our house where we’ll stuff our faces and watch the big game commercials.  I imagine I’ll be good and exhausted by Monday morning again.
