Please excuse...My Rambling Ways

(CAUTION: This is me, journaling. Boring and time wasting...for everyone else. Save yourself, and skip this post!)
Things are happening around here.
I have pictures to prove, share, and document.
Successfully downloading pics. onto my new computer,
NOT HAPPENING.
It's driving me CRAZY.
Baby boy turned four....FOUR, can you believe it?
Big Mama's getting BIGGER, I know you can believe that.
We're 29 weeks in.
It's going too fast.
Clint was in town yesterday and dropped off our crib.
He's lost over 20 lbs. and is, once again, looking like himself.
Lookin' good, my little brother. I am proud of you!
He left the crib in the garage.
I look at it and wonder....
Where in the world is that going to fit?
Panic.
Let's see, we'll put the bunk beds together and put the crib on the other wall.
Three, little monkeys, in one, tiny room.
It's all GOOD.
Avery's making all kinds of cool things at school,
things she wears on her head.
The pics. of her wearing them with her tiny, little face poking through...
PRICELESS!
Payton has a bestie, for her very first time.
They share clothes, chat on the phone, and even hang up saying, "Love ya."
This makes me laugh.
She learned this from me.
I tell all my friends, "I love you!"
Most people find it weird.
Think I'm weird.
It's true. I love them. Why not tell em'?
My bestie, Brittney, came with her kids for four days.
We've been besties since second grade.
Second grade...no joke.
She's FAMILY.
We sure had a good time,
dragging 8 kids everywhere.
Bob's been MIA for an entire week.
I found a sweet note he left on my dresser mirror.
I read it every morning.
It makes me smile.
Me being pregnant does something strange to him.
It seems he likes me, maybe even a little more, big and carrying his child.
Thank goodness for that.
Ewww....I know.
Enough MUSH.
I've been trying desperately for 6 months to complete a HUGE project for work.
The deadline is Monday.
This Monday!
AHHHHHHHHH!
After the kids are snoring,
I'm up super late, working away.....
This Mama's exhausted.
Last night the plan was to get it on!
I was going to make BIG strides with this project nearing its due date.
Kansas St. played Xavier.
I couldn't pull myself away.
Work...shmurk
That game.....Wow!
I called Kim, all excited, thinking she'd be watchin'
She didn't answer.
I called Bob.
Miles and miles away in Milwaukee, up entirely too late,
HE was watching.
We laughed at how awesome the double over time was,
the amazing shots,
"What a game, what a game!"
We love March Madness.
Then we DREAMED.
We do this a lot.
We'd be rich.
We'd GO to the games,
bring our kids.
We'd cheer and have the time of our lives.
Some day....
Oh, how I wish.
Needless to say, not much work was completed.
I'm leaving for HOME today.
It's been almost a year since I've been.
Sat. I will drive to Utah with girlfriends for a funeral.
My dear friend, Trish lost her mom to cancer.
The weight of the world is on Trish's shoulders right now.
I wish I could lift it, at least just a bit.
For her, my heart is ACHING.
I wish I could be there to help, do something. It's bothering me.
We'll stay in Pocatello Sunday.
My dear, old dad is being made a bishop of the university ward.
All the family is coming to support him.
He'll be great. He's a GOOD, GOOD man.
Maybe the best I know.
Ya all know how I feel about HIM.
Bob insists on me waiting for him and leaving late, late tonight.
Otherwise he won't see us for another week.
Somehow, I think he'll be....... just fine.
The kids and I are staying.
We're planning to spend spring break with
family and friends.
Can't say I'm looking forward to the weather in Pocatello.
But, I sure am looking forward to seeing some of my very favorite peeps.
...and on that note,
I'll finally STOP.
Asking once more,
Please excuse......My Rambling Ways.
