So, I got my new phone and I love it. It's pink and wonderful and full of wonderful phone goodness. My last one wasn't bad either, but it was a little to bulky for my liking. Anyway, the past two days have been ok, I had a terrible migrane that finally went away today. No kidding, it hurt so bad that I was considering a trip to the ER. But, the ER here sucks ( at least the one near our house) and so I toughed it out. I meant to go to the dr.'s today, but by the time I woke up it was the office lunch time, and the doctor leaves for the day after that. Oh well, maybe tomorrow. Maybe not. My internal clock is so messed up thanks to Bobby's FTO shift this month. It also happened to coincide with Amelia's birth, but we'll blame Bobby's shift for now :). Anyway, I can't fall asleep until like 3 or 4 sometimes 5 and then I am sooooo tired all day long. I've been a little sick since Saturday so I've been sleeping as much as I can when Amelia is sleeping, but then I feel like I'm ignoring Katherine. So, I have decided that no matter what, tomorrow is going to be a Katherine day. We will go to the park, feed the ducks, have a picnic, do a little shopping (and run a few errands) and then top it off with a trip to the ice cream shop. Sounds fun!! Oh, I gave Katherine my old cell phone- it had all these videos that I couldn't transfer over to my mac. Anyway, one of the videos was of my little brother (13) putting his nipple on fire (crazy, I know). Katherine freaking loves that video. She watched it over and over and over and over again. It was really weird and cute at the same time. Oh yeah!! Big news! Hopefully, I will be able to start school during the spring quarter!! I am really excited. To be honest, I don't really want a job outside of the house, I love being a mom and housewife. But, I love school, I know I'm such a dork, and I miss the challenge of learning. Not that it was much of a challenge in high school and the first three semesters of college, but wow last time I went I had to drop out mid-semester b/c I couldn't take care of Katherine by myself, and work full time (Bobby was away for 5 months doing officer basic training with the army) it was way to much to handle. I really admire all the parents (esp. the single parents) that can work, go to school and raise their children with out neglecting any of their responsibilities, but I digress... Anyway, I'm going back to school YAY! Now I just need to figure out what I really want to be when I "grow up" which is one of the reasons I dropped out after my third semester.
Anyway, that's it. Goodnight!

57 days left. In 57 days Baby A will be here. My doctor said that I should be home by the new year even. This is good! It probably sounds horrible, but I really want to be able to come home that night, I really can't bear the thought of spending the night away from K. I know she will be excited that her new little sister is here, but she has never spent the night away from me ever. I don't know if it's because she was a preemie and spent so much time in the hospital  and we didn't get to bond right away or what. Either way, it's going to be hard for her to not have mommy at home putting her to sleep. It's going to be even harder because we co-sleep and she is a mommy snuggle bug. Poor B, it will be a very rough night for him.
Anyway, we had a wonderful time trick or treating. Everyone in the neighborhood thought K was adorable. We came home around 7:30 and by 8:15 she was out. My child is NEVER out that early. Around 9 I took two Sudafed PM and tried to go to sleep. I tossed in turn all night though. I really hate being sick, and not being able to sleep it off. Needless to say K and I slept in today. Now she is raiding her candy basket. She will open a piece, take a bite and then say... ooh that's yum. I'm going to save it for later. Then she will move on to the next piece.
B only has eight more days left in the police acadamy. Then he graduates! Yay!!! The only sucky thing is when he graduates he will have to start driving to Roswell everyday. Gas, gas, gas. I told him that he and another friend of ours that works on the northside should carpool. It might work if B gets the day shift, but it wont if he gets the mid or night shift.
On to other news, the stroller came today! I put it together and it is beautiful. It's also fucking HUGE. I hope it fits into my trunk. The car seat should be here tomorrow, and then... then all the baby stuff will be purchased. Well, everything except the crib matress. My plan to save has been working. I haven't bought anything since my eye opening experience. The down side is, my laptop power cord has been popping and smoking and has kind of melted. It's a horrible fire hazard and isn't going to last long. So I don't know how much longer it's going to last and wonder whether I hsould buy a new one or not. It really pisses me off though, because I just ordered this new one from Apple in June or July, and it's already screwing up. I wonder if I call them if they'll replace it? Hmmm....
Anyway that's it I guess. I will include what I ate though... last night I did have three pieces of Halloween Candy, celery and reduced fat triscuits. This morning I had two glasses of orange juice and a banana. I really want a french fry.
