Like a bad dream...

One of my least favorite recurring dreams is set in "high school" (which of course, looks like some weird combination of schools I attended instead of Richmond Senior.) Class has been going on for weeks, or sometimes it's the day of the final exam, and I'm desperately trying to find my way to class for the first time. Sometimes I can't get a ride, and sometimes I don't even know what classes I'm scheduled for. Folks who know me well might analyze this dream as me dealing with my lifelong procrastination tendency. (Tendency? That's being generous.) Fellow Tarheels are smiling because they've caught the similarity between the dream and the first half of my undergraduate education. Note, Dad: Similarity - not exact replication. I did graduate, you know.

Opening up the blog tonight gave me the same feeling as when I wake up from that dream. FEBRUARY 22nd!!!? Holy pajamas, I'm late! I even discovered that I'd begun an entry Easter weekend, but never posted. So, if you look below this entry, you'll see a few pictures from three months ago. [Slapping myself on the forehead.]

Maybe I have procrastinated. Maybe it really was because our computer is running that slow. Maybe it was because it was a really weird, difficult ending to the year at school. Maybe it's because I'm pregnant and tired.

Yes, for those who don't know... We're expecting again! (Insurance claims people, look away, please.) I can't go to the doctor until July for insurance purposes, but I think we're due in the middle of January. The couch and I have gotten really chummy, because the nausea and I are duking it out. Gabby is a trooper, and she modifies her play time so I can play from the couch. You'd be surprised what we can do. Puzzles, play-dough, books, Legos, TV. TV probably didn't surprise you.

So, enough blabbing, and on with the pictures. Now that we're borrowing Rachel's computer for a while, blogging is a lot easier. Hopefully I can get a video of G singing soon. That kid might take after Mommy after all. People in stores love the "Name That Grocery Item" song.

    I LOVE the big girl bed picture! I can't believe we're in big girl phase. Hopefully, unlike some people we know, the "big girl" phase will have both a beginning and an end...

  3. Hey, hey...no knocking the extended "big girl" phase, please. I happen to think Big Girl is an incredible nickname...and by incredible, I mean one that is sometimes hard to shake. I've slowly accepted reality and have acknowledged that my husband is referred to as..you guessed it, "big boy" (although without the regularity as my own moniker).
