I copied and pasted this from my trying to conceive message board:

I was talking to my husband earlier today and he mentioned that he has a business trip next week. Ack! I told him he had to be home because I was going to ovulate around the time he was going to be out of town. Being the understanding wife that I am (ha!) I just told him that we would dtd the morning before he left, and then the night he got home 3 days later and that it should be fine.

Well, he just called me and he is sending his assistant instead! Woo hoo! Not only are we going to have a nice big open window of time for getting busy, but this shows me that he wants this as much as I do. This is our third and at this point I wasn't sure if he was just surrendering like a beaten down man, or if he really wanted this baby as much as I do.

Can I just say I love this man? He is just as nuts as me.

Sorry officer!

Last week when Jeff was out of town, I made an impulse purchase. I need a preacher bench/something that will fit in my entryway that I can store my kids shoes and backpacks in. It was pretty much just a knee jerk retail therapy reaction to our new president elect but as soon as I got it home, I realized that it was all wrong and had to be returned.

I packed it back up into my truck and Kennen and I drove the 3 miles down the road. Even though it is the main road in my area, the speed limit is only 35 mph because it is still considered to be in a neighborhood. Led Zeppelin was blaring from the classic rock station and I was...rocking out. I didn't even realize that i was speeding until a police cruiser was suddenly behind me with his lights on. DAMNIT!

I never get out of tickets. Like EVER! And this time I had to. There is just no room in the budget for 'speeding tickets'. I had my window rolled down, engine off and as Deputy Officer Dork walked up I smiled at him in the rear view mirror. As he walked up, I handed him my drivers license and said, "Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry!" He laughed and said that he thought a jet was trying to land on the boulevard with how fast I was going (50-ish mph).

"Are you late for work?"

Me: "No, I am going to Kirklands to return something. I was just listening to a really good song and I didn't realize how fast I was going!"

"What were you listening to?"

"Led Zeppelin..." and with that I turned the volume up and Misty Mountain Hop was still playing on the radio.

He laughed and then said, "Oh I know how that is. I'll be right back."

A few minutes later he came back and gave me a warning! Whew!

"OMG thank you so much! Wow...thanks!"

I called Jeff and told him and he said he was going to take away my keys. :D Hooray!

And just for fun...here is Misty Mountain Hop backwards! I'm going to church now, lol.

I'm better now.

So this is how all you democrats have felt for the last 8 years?

This election made me just sick. I had a few freak out moments yesterday and a full fledged panic attack while I was driving, but all is well now. Obama is my new president. I trust that he will lead this country the right way. And as far as I see it...it can only get better than the mess George W. made.

Nothing made me feel better than my husband though. He talked me off the ledge and told me to just relax. Of course this was coming from a man that was on a Marlin fishing boat in Cabo who himself was very relaxed...but whatevs. I felt better when he told me that no matter what, we-as in our little nuclear family of 4 (5 soon)-will be okay. That he will always make sure we are take care of.

I do have relief in the fact that the choice has been made. Now I just have to learn to accept Obama (and his asinine ideas!!!) Ack sorry...there i go again. And of course I'm sure it is healthy for our country to have periods between reactionary and reform.

So Obama is our president. And our first lady wears ugly dresses. Damn! There I go again. Okay I'm logging off now.

more election coverage

omg! I am so tense tonight! I can't stand watching...seeing Obama ahead just makes me sick to my stomach.

I am a huge republican (bordering libertarian) and the thought of public healthcare makes my skin crawl. However...there is a small part of me wondering if I will get free maternity care when I get pregnant this month. Hey...if you can't beat them...join them! I am looking forward to my medical care being on the same standard as one would get at the Department of Motor Vehicles. Ugh...i know I am so bitter.

Enough with our new socialist president to be...

I'm gonna have a baby! I have started charting my temps and if you care about that sort of thing, you can click on my fertility friend ticker. Oh yes. You can know when I ovulate if you are interested in that. I looked at the Chinese Lunar calendar predictions to see what it said I would have as far as gender...and it's a girl! You should check out the link. It is fun to see what it predicts for you...any other girl babies out there? I would name her Korinne...to stay with the whole 'K' thing we have going on with our other kids. Hee hee, I am not even pregnant and I'm already naming my child...nice. If it was a boy...I have no K names...any suggestions?

Election day!

Go vote! That's all I have to say about that. :D

Well no, that isn't all. Obama is probably going to win. The republican in me is weeping, but he seems like the least evil democrat. At least it isn't Hilary. *shudder*

In the spirit of re-immersing myself into all things baby related...I am going on a playdate today.

**************

Okay scratch the playdate. I was driving to a pumpkin patch farm to meet up with my Moms group. It was supposed to be hours of hayrides, corn stalk mazes and a picnic under a shady oak tree. Instead I started driving toward the country and I heard, 'Urp,' come from the backseat that was quickly followed by crying from my son. I look back and Kennen is covered in vomit! Ugh. I calm him down and we talk about how we can clean his clothes. We can clean the car. We can clean his body. Being covered in puke really messes with the psyche of my little perfectionist son.

Blech. The whole ride home I have the windows down because the smell was making me sick and I was kicking myself for adding sliced banana to his cheerios this morning. You would be surprised how much slime half of a banana can add to the horror going on in the back seat of my truck this morning.

So today my new plan is to surf the net and watch the election all day. woo hoo!

We have done gone and lost our minds

Jeff and I are officially trying to conceive #3. Am I crazy? I am crazy right? Holy smokes!

I want the baby, but the pregnancy scares me. I don't want to get morning sickness, stretch marks or an episiotomy. Again. However...if I am not pregnant by February...I am stopping. Then the baby will be born in September and will miss the Kindergarten cutoff in 5 years. Then I will have to stay home 6 years. And Kennen and the baby will be one more year apart at school...and that just seems too far for me. Am I nuts? I'm nuts right. In the past, one of us has wanted a baby while the other hasn't...but now we have decided to hold our noses and just jump in the damn water. Plus we make such great kids...it seems a shame to leave all of the breeding to the Catholics and the Mormons.

Family of 5, here I come!

That's what friends are for...

I was a slacker on Halloween so I had to swipe this from Patty's facebook page! She and Dr. N. threw a rocking halloween party/haunted house this year and it was one of those parties that will go down in SBHL history. I am too exhausted to write out a full blog...well I think I'm too lazy too....

Anyway, here are Mama and Papa Vamp:

You like? It's nice?
