October…

September 23rd, 2010

I made a mental note to myself in August.. that it would be my last busymonth..  too many things planned.. places to go and people to see.. left me tired and spent.. that and I was starting to brew a little nugget ;) so I vowed that September would be mellow.. scratch that.. it was not.. and now.. I am yet again.. vowing to make October easier.. and I think the only way this can happen, is if I stop saying YES!  I sat down on the couch last week to just watch tv.. and the reason I remember this.. is because I have not just sat on my couch and chilled for a long time.. and it felt foreign..  so October.. I am taking in your rain drops.. I am bringing down the fall/winter blanket that will grace the back of my couch for the next 6 months..  I am pulling out the classic rainy day movies.. and I am relaxing.. 

of course it is inevtiable that life is also carrying on in this month of October.. I have a wedding..  a due date.. 5 birthdays.. thanksgiving.. a couple trips to the pumpkin patch and a couple of ladies nights thrown in there.. but besides that.. I am done ;) wow I am tired just writing that down.. 

last night.. the cupcakes were delicious.. mmm.. I have three un-iced ones on my counter waiting to be devoured with my decaf coffee..

I got home last night and remembered that it is oli bears swimming lessons this morning.. I tried talking myself out of it about 10 times.. even this morning.. I woke up at 7 am.. came down and did my routine.. and still was trying to talk myself out of it.. the morning sickness was numero uno on my list.. but than I remembered that I do these for her.. so she can be more confident in the water.. and I dragged my make-up-less ass to the pool.. saw some old lady bums.. and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.. in one class.. olive was confident enough to jump into the water.. where she knew I would be there.. I was actually really proud.. she wouldn’t lie on her back though.. she death screamed until all the grannies looked at me.. but we prevailed.. and once those pink lips turned a nice hugh of ice blue.. we finished.. and this time I was smart.. I wore uggs.. and lulus.. skipped on the skivvies.. and ran to the car in the rain.. and no one saw my lady bits today..  because I pulled out my old gym class moves.. and shimmied around in my towel.. and today.. Olive was a little scared of the grannies.. she just wanted her mama.. 

and I am glad I went.. because its one more thing to do with my baby until our new little baby comes into the world..
