Sometimes we just need R & R

Any girl can relate to this one. At some point in our lives we just need a little reprieve from the insanity we call our lives. However I must admit that rampaging hormones seem to require this a little more often. You know how it always happens. It starts out with the average day dilemma. The dishes aren't clean. Dinner is 45 minutes behind schedule. Family is over at the house til the wee hours in the morning. None of these things are big deals, right? Yet, after about 100 of these little deals add up, we are ready to turn into basket cases. I don't mean those cute little fuzzy Easter ones with whiskers either. I am talking about completely frazzled baskets that have a growling button that is malfunctioning and roaring every three seconds. Now, let's put pregnancy hormones into the mix. This compounds the issue doesn't it? Minuscule issues that would not even have qualified as every day hassles suddenly become big deals. Now the moment we run out of Orange Juice we suddenly have a full blown roaring every second, eyes bulging, whiskers twitching, frazzled beyond hope basket. It's not my idea of a Happy Easter basket either! What do we do in such cases? We call mom of course! Sometimes we just need some rest and relaxation....

An ode to my toes

Little toes where art thou?
It has been so long since I have seen thee.
Where once you lay,
A protrusion rotund is all I see.

I can feel you wiggle
and move like thou art there.
Yet I can not see thee,
and am wondering how you fare?

Are you well little toes?
Does thou look still the same?
Or has thou taken on fluid?
And big toes, thou will need to be renamed.

Can I find thee?
Are ye on the other side of this mound?
Am I brave enough?
To even take a peek around.

I am and I must
for we have been parted far to long
There you are!
Alas! My heart doth burst into song!

Little toes you look well.
It's nice to thee my friend!
Little toes we must promise.
To not go so long before see each other again.

The List

I had been warned by many a pregnant woman that the baby sucks out your brain. I had also laughed at this thinking how funny it was to phrase it this way. It is true! I lost my brain completely about a month ago. How do I deal with this? I make lists. Lot's and lot's of lists! I have a list for business, a list for a social calendar, and last but not least a list for every day activity. This is the list of lists! This is the list that gets me through my day without walking around asking everyone what I am supposed to be doing. This list keeps track of every half hour in a day and gives me an activity to be doing in that half hour. For instance at this half hour I am to be eating lunch and checking my Facebook. Check and Check! Did I mention I put a check box next to every activity so I can keep track of what I have accomplished? If you are ever curious about what you do in a day I fully recommend that you try this list. 12:30...What am I supposed to be doing? Oh, that's right I am supposed to be taking a short nap! This will be followed by 1:30 in which I will be folding my laundry! Yay! I have a purpose for the next hour!
