1. One thing I am grateful for: the ability to put up a good fight to keep my breakfast in my tummy. A couple of weeks ago, I still didn't really have a choice - if it was coming up, it was coming up. Now I win at least 50% of the time.
2. If indigestion is really any indication of the amount of hair my child will have, I'm pretty sure The Lentil is going to be an ape.
3. I brought a pillow to work today. Because I got about three total hours of sleep last night and I'm pretty sure I'll be able to fall asleep during lunch...if I have a pillow.
4. One of the men at work today is wearing a bright yellow polo shirt with swordfish all over it. I giggle every time he walks past because who would see that shirt and think, "OH! A yellow shirt with swordfish on it! MUST HAVE!"
5. I realize that different people find different things attractive. For instance, I really like big men - tall, round, SEXY. However, I think regardless of what you find attractive, there are some things that just go without saying. Like when you're listing the things you want in a man, you shouldn't have to specify that he shower regularly. Or that he should have all of his teeth. Right?
6. Husband bought me the best Mother's Day gift ever. A game for the Wii called Just Dance. I put it on and rocked out to three songs. I would have done more, but my pants kept falling down and I was breathing like Chris Farley after trying out for the Chippendale's.
7. Does anyone else sometimes feel like they're living a useless life? I mean, I'm obviously a failure at my church calling, the only thing I do at work is play on the Internet, my house is a pig sty, and the only thing I have any desire to do well is sleep.
8. I was sad to see The Cowboys lose The Amazing Race last night.
9. Does anyone else hate going to wedding/baby showers? It's just one of those things that I think I'll never enjoy.
10. Husband just finished his last final for this semester. He's decided it's best for him to take it easy during the summer terms, which will push back his graduation until next May. It's been a super rough six months for both of us - him working and going to school full-time, and me being pregnant and sick since November. Husband admitted to me last night that he's almost had a couple of nervous breakdowns trying to get everything done. I couldn't help but laugh because my primary reaction wasn't for his well-being, it was, "Um, dude, you can't have nervous breakdowns. There's only one person per family that can display histrionics and I've already relegated myself to that task."

I sort of love showers. I also love throwing them.
Thoughts on your musings
1. Congrats on the stomach control. Absolutely no sarcasm intended. That is the worst part of being pregnant, loosing all control of your body.
2. The great part of about pregnancy-induced indigestion is that is goes away the instant the baby is born, so just a few more weeks of the Tums diet...And The Lentil is sure to be beautiful with lots of hair.
3. Good for you! I hope you did get a good nap. And I don't think it's totally bad to take a nap under your desk at work. I've done it more than once.
4. I wish I could share that laugh with you, but I'm laughing here just thinking about it.
5. I don't think you are off on that at all. Some things go without saying.
6. Go Husband! I'm glad you've had fun! We have lots of dance parties in our house, but we usually end up dizzy because all our girls want to do is spin.
7. I think everyone feels useless at times, but you are forgetting about all the things that are good. I'm sure your husband would miss you and your plants are beautiful and nobody cares for them like you.
8. I miss watching the Amazing Race. It's a fun show.
9. I have a love/hate relationship with showers. I love seeing friends, eating yummy food, and seeing nice gifts. But I hate sitting around feeling silly and playing shower games. PS--I need your address so I can send you a baby gift.
10. I agree only one person per relationship get to breakdown, and he doesn't get to unless you hand that scepter over.
With my second, my doctor prescribed Prilosec or the generic brand for me, and it made a world of difference. I can't imagine having to go thru another pregnancy without it. Ask your doc if you can get some. Seriously the thought of living without it right now makes me shudder. And it is true, the moment you have your baby, it is gone.
Number 9 is a big yes. Number 10 is so true here too. In 18+ years of marriage I can count on one hand the number of times Jeff has felt similar feelings to Nick -- freaked me out every time so I'm glad it happens very infrequently for him. For me? Not so infrequently.
I was upset about the Cowboys not winning, too. Especially when I totally would have punched the brother in the face for cutting in line and then subsequently shoved the other one out of my way to complete my task. Maybe that's why I never got call-backs for the show...
