Tomorrow my baby boy, my first born love, will turn three. Time flies way too fast. I can't believe that we're here already. My heart aches thinking my mom isn't here to experience it all with me. Tears flow easily, now.
Caleb and I have been working on the word three.
Me: Say three.
Caleb: Free.
Me: Say thunder
Caleb: Thunder
Me: Now say, three.
Caleb: Three.
Me: How old will you be on Tuesday?
Caleb: Free.
Sweet boy.

Lights Out
Adding to the mounting issues at my house...
Friday night, the coldest night we've had in a long time, the electricity went out on our block. This happened at about 9:15. So, the stubborn 3 of us bundled up together in our bed under layers and layers of blankets. We just kind of fell asleep waiting for the electricity to come back on. I woke up at about 3:30 (according to the cell phone I was still gripping in my hand). The alarm clock was blinking 2:40. So, I guess the electricity came back on after midnight. And, brrrr! it was so cold. But we were all snuggled up and comfy.

Plumbing
Yah...um, our sewage was in the bathtub again this morning. YUCKY!!! One toliet flushes, then leaks at the bottom, the other toliet gurgles, and the shower by that 2nd toliet flows with sewage. GROSS!!! So, I guess I make the trip to either the gym or my dad's to shower or use the toliet today and tomorrow. BRant has tomorrow off...did I mention that his grandpa that passed away yesterday was a plumber? And Brant was his apprentice for a while? So, guess what hubby gets to do on his day off? Play computer? Nope. Play plumber. I, on the other hand will NOT be home. I might puke at the scent of it all. Sorry, babe.

Today
Today started out with tears...and ended that way, too.
I was emotional from the science competition stress being done. I read an email from the coworker that ticked me off. I had some -um - sweage, in the tub this morning that I couldn't stomach. So, I sobbed with my baby in the shower. He said, "Momma, are you sad at me? I want you to be happy!" Which I sobbed some more. I got to school, where I was waiting on a parent conference...that didn't happen. Good thing, 'cause my dad sent me flowers. He doesn't do Valentines day...rather he did not used to do Valentines day. So, I cried some more. During my team conference, I cried again...because she told us that she and another team member would be gone next Friday. I didn't cry because she would be gone. I cried because they would be gone during our team's passing reward skating party. That was too much to handle. Who would help us corral the 120ish kids that were going on this trip? Just 4 of us? Are you kidding me? How rude!!! Plus, she has not really been present at our other team events. But, I am not doing a good job at keeping my team in the "know." Whatever. I am sooooooooo over her.
Good things: My wonderful principal had a solution to the issue of them being gone. The subs for them would be placed into two other teachers' rooms. So, I got to pick 2 other people to go with us. I chose J and my neighbor teacher - Celia. I am so blessed to get this. Of course, J said yes. Celia, too. I am so excited!
End of the day. S-U-C-K-E-D! I called Brant, to see how his day was. He told me that his sister called. Never a good sign. She called to say that their grandpa had passed away.
That totally shocked me. Ralph (grandpa) and Rita (grandma) just celebrated their 75th anniversary this summer. He was either 93 or 94.
Crap! I am crying again! I am talking to Brant about this summer and not wanting to not be able to take care of Caleb when Owen arrives. What a cry-baby! What a day.

Nerves
I hate being nervous. Today is the big GMS science competition. I hope all of our ducks are in a row...but I don't know for sure. Not being medicated does have it's draw backs. I fear that I have forgotten something major...and without my trusty sidekick - errr fearless leader, Beth, today, I am afraid it will fall apart. Thank goodness for Laray. She keeps me in line, too.
Needless to say, sleep did NOT come easily last night. What with the nerves about today, the painfull too-too, and the fact that I also get to go to the doctor (YIKES! another weigh in day!) today for the 22.5 week check up.
J sent me a wonderful email reminder yesterday. Only 14 weeks of school. Yes, but only 17 weeks until Owen arrives...or so. Oh-My-Goodness!!!!!! I can't wait to meet him, but then - when am I EVER going to sleep again? Next year will be good for sleeping, I think.
Brant will be with me today. Judging. He took the day off from work. As in requested it off to assist me. He loves it. Last year, he was only a week out from having brain surgery when he judged all day. He is amazing. I am truely blessed. Did I mention that he DID cut his hair uber short again, for me? Like military short? It's my favorite - a chia-pet I can pet anytime I please (as long as he is home, not working, studying, doing school, or shooting). :) I am lucky.
But, still nervous. I want to be at school as soon as possible...like 6:30. To be sure I am ready for today...just in case Beth doesn't make it in. That's another story. I've gotta get permission to share that one. So, please say a tiny prayer, if you please. Thanks!

OWIE!!!
The pain is about a 2.5 on a scale of 10. I feel like the front part of my va-jay-jay bone is coming apart. Seriously. I don't remember that with Caleb. I think Owen is lower than Caleb was. I go on Wednesday to the doctor. Brant's suggestion? Stretch. WHAT?! How do you stretch your pelvic bone? Men. Grow a va-jay-jay and we'll talk.
Owie....that was for you, J! :) Since you wanted a gripie pregnancy post. Here you go. :)

Sam Moon
I love this store. This weekend, I bought my own Valentine present. WE don't do Valentines...so there. But, if I want to feel girlie...that is definitely the place to shop. Jewelry, and handbags, and hairpieces, OH MY!
Needless to say, Dad took Caleb and I to Dallas/Ft. Worth this weekend to get away...that, and he had some tax things to take care of. I got to go to Sam Moon, sans Caleb. I went to several different Motherhood Maternities (which I didn't find ANYTHING that I loved - but that saves money)... We went swimming both Saturday and Sunday MORNING. :) I ate lots of yummy favorite foods, and probably gained like 5 pounds. But, I NEEDED the break. Break from school stress that cumulated on Friday with a student calling me a LIAR. You can call me every other name in the book...but not a liar. THAT kid, by the way, is on a short term Carver stint. Which is good. I would have gone crazy if I had to look at his face one more time. And the high-school-ish drama with certain co-workers is SO retarded. I needed to just get away, relax, and not think about work.
And now we're back. Science competition is on Wednesday, and I am already dreading all of the time I need to put into it. I am already tired. That is sad. Really sad.
Oh well...this will probably be the last year for it. Maybe...depends on who we have leading us next year and where I will be...grade wise. Se la vi!

Scary
My sister went to visit her BF in Colorado. Meaning, she drove from Las Vegas to Colorado. Eight hours, in the snow and ice.
She called yesterday and said she'd been in an accident on the way home. She's fine, but her car was not drivable. The insurance in Vegas is so ridiculous that her coverage is not going to do diddly towards the damage on her car. She had to get a tow home. Five hours. That is crazy!
She skidded on the ice, and rammed into a guard rail. So scary!
But, thank you Jesus...she's okay.
