Missing: my feet
I realized in the shower this morning that I cannot see my feet anymore without leaning forward. I’m only 15 weeks pregnant…I think I’m in big trouble! 
The weekend was pretty good. My parents came up on Friday night and took us out to Red Robin. I almost choked on a piece of chicken during dinner. I guess that should teach me not to talk and breathe in while I’m eating. I doubt it will stop me, though… They hung out and chatted for a while after dinner…it was nice!
Saturday, my husband and I spent the bulk of the day deep-cleaning the kitchen. It had been a long time since everything had been really cleaned, and Eric is super-detail-oriented, so when he cleans…it’s CLEAN. And I figured if someone was working with me, I wouldn’t lose motivation so fast. It worked, too! So the kitchen looked fabulous for about 2 hours on Saturday night…until we made dinner and used it regularly on Sunday! Oh well!
Really, the best part of cleaning together was that it really was quality time. I loved it! Actually, the weekend as a whole was good for that. We talked, we hung out, we worked as a team. And considering that in a few short months, we will have to sort of reinvent ourselves and how we relate to each other and function together, I enjoyed just getting to be us, together, for a couple of days. I’m sure the “new” us that includes children will be good times, but I will miss the “us” that we’ve been for the last four years, too.
Sunday was a lot of relaxing and hanging out. We met five couples from our small group (we have a HUGE small group) for ice cream in the evening, so we actually got to be somewhat social. It was fun to laugh and chat again (and I hadn’t seen most of them since we found out about the twins)!
The truth is…I’m finally beginning to miss people. It usually takes about halfway through the summer for that to happen, but it means that I’ve finally recovered from the Spring semester and need not to be alone all the time. And I’m definitely there! Especially considering that I may not be teaching again in the Fall, I’m going to have to find ways of connecting with people socially or I’ll be mostly alone for the next five months. This would NOT be a good thing!
Anyway, I think that’s all I’ve got for right now. Happy Monday (of a 4-day work week)!
Hey, who needs to see their fee anyway?:) All that means is you never know when you need to paint your nails or not!
glad you didn’t choke on the chicken – phew!
can’t believe you can’t see your feet.. Tee Hee. You must post more pics, I wanna see the developing baby bump (says she who hasn’t posted any pics up yet, but my belly is growing at a slower rate given that there is only one!)
yah for cleaning together, I love cleaning and have several ‘cleaning projects’ to do before I pop. I mean when I say love, I love it when it is done but if I really loved it that much I would have all of my ‘cleaning projects’ completed by now.
Happy 15th Week, you are pretty much one week behind me – how cool is that!
Chris and me cleaning together would not be quality time for us. Any kind of “project” usually leads to arguing. Glad you and Eric can enjoy it!
@filledeparis – Right now the decision about what to do is primarily in my boss’s hands. I don’t really have a clear “choice” yet.
@MomEdlund – I’m always up before Eric leaves! I make his coffee!
Sorry about the loss of your feet. I hope you have slip on shoes or you’ll have to get up before your husband leaves for work from now on!!
Feet, schmeet.
Glad you had the wonderful QT with your hubby this weekend. Sounds great!
Guess Eric will have to learn to paint your toenails! How long to you have to make your decision about returning or not?
@ch1pch0p – Kevin does know, but I haven’t heard back from him yet.
@faithchick – Thanks for the loving concern!
^i mean that with complete love & excitement! it makes me gleeful for you.
oh, boy. you’ve lost your feet already?? mama mia!
Have you talked with Kevin about fall yet?
the quality cleaning time with your husband sounds FANTASTIC! that’s my idea of a good time! seriously!
