Hi Kiddo! Your dad and I were off work yesterday and today and it is heaven. Not that we have done a whole lot but it is so nice to be off work. Your dad has still been getting some phone calls and emails because he is a superstar right now. They published 2nd quarter sales and he rocked it. He was 5th in the region and 29th in the whole country!! He is so proud of his success and I am happy for him because it took him awhile to get his feet on the ground with all the turmoil we have had going on in the past year. Not only is he a rockstar but he cooked me breakfast this morning - biscuits and gravy. How spoiled am I? Don't expect warm breakfasts when you arrive - grab a box of cereal and like it :) Later, we are going to go to acupuncture and then I think we are going to see a movie.
So, a website I visit features various scrapbook designers and they always ask them for 10 things they love and 10 things they hate. I thought I would share that with you today about your mom. I told your dad I had a job for him to do the same list and I think he about stroked out. Don't expect to see any commentary from him any time soon. He said he is "a man of few words."
10 things I love -
1) Sleep and all things related to sleep - my tempurpedic bed, the cold side of the pillow, dreams, ambien, nappies, everything.
2) Scrapbooking
3) Reading
4) Music
5) Chocolate & sweets!
6) Most of my family & my friends (including your dad & our furry family) - see kiddo, you can pick your friends so you should love all of them. However, you are stuck with your family and unfortunately, we do have a couple of crazies in ours!
7) Getting the mail - each visit to the mailbox has unlimited potential to give a big surprise. Even though it usually ends up being junk mail and bills.
8) Vacation - I love to travel but also just plain days off work. I love being paid to not work.
9) Seeing you (& and all of our other babies) moving all over on the ultrasounds. It is so fun to see you up on the screen and wonder at the amazement that you are doing all of that in my tummy & I can't even feel it.
10) Meat - Beef, Chicken, Pork, some fish... I could never be a vegetarian. Not in my make up!
10 things I hate -
1) Things that disturb my sleep - noise, light, the TV being on, your dad snoring, the temperature being too hot or cold, having to get up and go to the bathroom all of the time, the alarm clock...
2) Pregnancy "morning sickness" - who are they kidding? It is 24x7. Anyone that has it just in the morning is darn lucky.
3) Mushrooms and raw tomatoes (unless they are in a really good salsa)
4) People that eat like pigs, don't exercise and are skinny!
5) When your dad reads his blackberry or dials the phone when he is driving. Drives me nuts that he is losing his focus when he could crash the car.
6) 5-6 months out of the year in Nebraska when it is so hot that you want to die or so cold that you think you have frost bite.
7) People that always want something for nothing - they find a hair in their dinner and want to eat there free for the rest of their lives. Also, I really dislike this sense of entitlement that seems to be so prevalent in society. I admit that I have a touch of it but the extent to which I see it now is crazy!
8) While I am not a political person, I really hate the way our country is being ran right now. I truly am scared for our economy and the fallout of all this spending when we don't have any cash. I always said it didn't matter to me because I didn't have any kids but if we keep it up, you are hosed!
9) People who don't take accountability for their own lives and actions. I guess that kind of goes with the entitlement thing but we are all responsible for the course of our lives. Buck up and take responsibility!
10) Shaving my legs - while I think you are a girl, if you are a boy, you won't have to worry about this :)
