RoadKill

Never seen a porcupine until now...

The interview...

Thank you for attending this interview today. Why don't you tell me about yourself.
Umm...Well, I graduated from Harvard with a Masters degree in business. Then I started my own business creating slogans for Mac & Cheese. I sold them to Kraft after a few short years and retired early. I got bored quick, decided to work again and here I am.

Um, I'm gonna have to check on that info. Excuse me while I make a quick call...

"Hi mom, can you Google something for me?"
Am I over-qualified?

New Family Member...

...Introducing our new puppy, Ally. She's an Australian Shepherd. We got her at 7 wks old and she was already potty trained to go outside. She has had a few small accidents, but she does very well.
We've had her for about a month now and she's already doubled in size. She's got some monster paws too, so we're thinkin she's gonna be a big doggie. Her and Brax are BFFs.

Winds of Change

Why is it that you go from living your same routine from day to day in a content fashion, then suddenly when change strikes, it ignites!? or seems that way, at least. It seems there is so much going on right now I can barely wrap my head around it, but I guess it's just a couple significant changes that crowd all the other stuff. All are good changes we're excited about, but I just feel overwhelmed since I'm at the end of my pregnancy and am limited to what I can help with...which anyone who knows me, knows that it's very hard for me to NOT get things done. I just can't let myself relax or I feel like time is being completely wasted. am I weird?
Here's the recent scoop:
*We found a place that is bigger and cheaper than what we're paying now, so we're suddenly moving in 2 days (not one thing is packed)
*We found the puppy of our dreams and brought him home. (Actually Jeremy's dreams since he refuses to have a dog unless it's an Australian Shepherd, but for me, any puppy is adorable...until it craps on the carpet. Good thing she's potty trained already at just 7 weeks old!)
*5 more weeks and the baby will be here!!
*I'm getting new aches and pains in my back I haven't gotten before...and heartburn is getting worse...and Jeremy has to rub my feet every night or else they'll fall off...and I have insomnia at night and drag through the day...oh! and there is no comfortable position in the slightest way...But I guess I can't expect anything less when I'm 35 weeks along. Thank goodness for Jeremy's foot rubs or I'd be a goner!
*Jeremy has finals coming up, then starts his Bachelors program! Hooray :)
*My sister-in-law is getting married the week before I'm due which is insane!
*Now that we're about to have another baby boy, Brayden & Brax are growing up WAY too fast :( They both look older. Brax just had a growth spurt over night and now all his clothes are too small.
*The holidays are just around the corner!...which means there will be more room for a xmas tree in our new place :) This Xmas should be exciting with 3 kids and a dog. Can't believe our family of 4 is going to 6!
*Not sure what else the winter winds are going to bring in, but hopefully things will settle for a little while so we can get used to all these changes.
