Whiney Blog

I am so sick of feeling sick! I had such a wonderful time getting away for a few days in Mexia, Texas. It was really fun. It was great not to have to cook when you feel like barfing. But it was such a bummer that I just didn't feel like myself. I wanted to crawl in a hole and stay there for a while. I slept a lot, which is good. But I'd much rather be playing games: Mexican Train, cards, whatever. At least I did feel good enough to play one game of Spades. Somehow I suffered through a game of Kent and Settlers before dropping off into a dead sleep.



I'm at 10 weeks tomorrow. Only a few more filled with sickness to go? I hope so....We hear the baby's heartbeat Monday. Maybe that will give me some courage.



I was so appreciative last night when I had to go to the bathroom. The sudden realization struck me that all I had to do was hop right into my bathroom. I didn't have to stumble over rocks and a creepy forest, just a laundry basket and a fan. :)



The unwhiney part of my blog: I loved that the kids got to go fishing together. I loved that the boys wished they could catch as many fish as their nieces. Lakes and fishing make me feel so peaceful. My dad is a fisherman, so it all reminds me of good times growing up.



It was also great seeing the kids run off and play outside, kicking a ball around, shooting water guns, exploring cemeteries, catching bugs, and tossing stuffed animals around a cabin. They really had a great time. I really appreciate Papa Don and the many aunts and uncles who took care of them so they could fish, try out the swimming hole, and go for a hike. I cannot imagine if I had to do all of that. I would have cratered.
