Well, here is a real post, though it probably won't be long...

We moved! We moved out Airport Rd.! I love it!

I don't really know what to post...

This week, I helped my friend Tonia move some, which I might have mentioned in my audio-post...I don't remeber. Anyway, so I didn't really help very much, but it was fun anyway.
Monday, I went to DQ at 4, which was when she was done there. We then went to Wendy's where two of her brothers work, and we were going to get her brothers big truck. Well, he let a friend borrow it to help get someone else's truck out of the mud...So it wasn't there. We sat, and waited for the friend to get back...He was supposed to be back at 3 I think, and it was already after 4. So, we went to my grandma's house to get a few boxes, and went back to Wendy's. Well, they called the friend several times only to get "...Almost done..." ect.
We were getting bored by about 5...so we walked over to the Dollar General and bought a deck of cards. So, we played "Go Fish" twice, "War," but didn't finish that one, and then"SlapJack" twice. With each game we were getting more tired, and a little bit louder...hehe... So at the end of the second game of "SlapJack" Tonia said, in a really strange voice, "I got all the cards, and you got none" or something like that...And we both started laughing! There happened to be a couple sitting in the booth that was just behind me, and we heard through our laughter, "Shut UP!" quietly....hehe....that only made us start laughing more, only a little quieter. :-p
After that, we went outside to finish our laughing, and wonder at this "friend" who had the truck. After a few more calls to the friend, he turned off the phone. Why? Well, my guess is that he didn't want to talk to us. :-p Anyway...So, at about 7 Tonia brought me home, and she stayed for a little while, and talked with my mom and me. SHe ended up waiting at Wendy's 'til 9 that night. From 4, 'til 9...
So, the next day, Tuesday, we actually moved some stuff...
We went out to her dad/step-moms house in Dragoon, and gow.....3 boxes, a lamp, a giant snake she won at the fair...I think that was all. :-p
We then went to Weny's (I know, we were there a lot...) so Tonia could get a salad. We then went to their appartment, and unloaded everything. Then, we went and took Dean, Tonia's older brother, his baseball glove, and then watched him play a game at the park. We then went back to their appt. and watched a movie, "Raise Your Voice." It was actually an interesting, and enjoyable waste of time. :-p After that, at 10, we went to DQ and cleaned both the "Arctic Rush" (used to be "Mr. Misty") machine, and the walk-in fridge.
We were done at about 12, and she took me back home.

Sheesh, I guess this post is longer than I thought it would be! :-p

Here's a joke I saw on http://www.gcfl.org/
It has significance for me, because Melissa is in her 8th month of pregnancy...



The following appeared in the February 1998 issue of Parenting.

Yes, parenthood changes everything. But parenthood also changes with each baby. Here, some of the ways having a second and third child differs from having your first:

Your Clothes

1st baby: You begin wearing maternity clothes as soon as your OB/GYN confirms your pregnancy.
2nd baby: You wear your regular clothes for as long as possible.
3rd baby: Your maternity clothes are your regular clothes.

The Baby's Name

1st baby: You pore over baby-name books and practice pronouncing and writing combinations of all your favorites.
2nd baby: Someone has to name their kid after your great-aunt Mavis, right? It might as well be you.
3rd baby: You open a name book, close your eyes, and see where your finger falls. Bimaldo? Perfect!

Preparing for the Birth

1st baby: You practice your breathing religiously.
2nd baby: You don't bother practicing because you remember that last time, breathing didn't do a thing.
3rd baby: You ask for an epidural in your 8th month.

The Layette

1st baby: You prewash your newborn's clothes, color-coordinate them, and fold them neatly in the baby's little bureau.
2nd baby: You check to make sure that the clothes are clean and discard only the ones with the darkest stains.
3rd baby: Boys can wear pink, can't they?

Worries

1st baby: At the first sign of distress - a whimper, a frown - you pick up the baby.
2nd baby: You pick the baby up when her wails threaten to wake your firstborn.
3rd baby: You teach your 3-year-old how to rewind the mechanical swing.

Activities

1st baby: You take your infant to Baby Gymnastics, Baby Swing, and Baby Story Hour.
2nd baby: You take your infant to Baby Gymnastics.
3rd baby: You take your infant to the supermarket and the dry cleaner.

Going Out

1st baby: The first time you leave your baby with a sitter, you call home 5 times.
2nd baby: Just before you walk out the door, you remember to leave a number where you can be reached.
3rd baby: You leave instructions for the sitter to call only if she sees blood.

At Home

1st baby: You spend a good bit of every day just gazing at the baby.
2nd baby: You spend a bit of every day watching to be sure your older child isn't squeezing, poking, or hitting the baby.
3rd baby: You spend a little bit of every day hiding from the children.
