It just seems to be sticking around
I just can’t seem to shake this morning sickness. The first two days back to work were ok but today was rough. Something I ate did not agree with me and I spent the whole afternoon in and out of the bathroom. I am hoping to get a good nights sleep and maybe sleep in a bit tomorrow. I still have a TON to do in my classroom before school starts so I should get up early but I probably won’t. Well, keep thinking good thoughts and hopefully Kasidee (spelling isn’t know yet) will settle in soon and stop making me so sick.

Damn morning sickness
Why would anyone willingly have another child after being this sick! I am miserable, nauseouss, vomiting, and because of all of that I am also CRYING. The thing that helped me get over nausea to begin with I now can’t stand the smell of. I have a horrible feeling that this is going to last all 9 months because I can not have estrogen in my body and for 9 months it will be pouring! I am SO TIRED OF THIS!!

Choosing a name
Choosing a name for a baby is hilarious. We have come up with some form of the name Cassydee for a girl, but for a boy we have been coming up with some doozeys. Tom suggested Remington, Winchester, Steele, Vincent Price, Bubba, and all sorts of funny names. I am open to any suggestions anyone has for boy names!

Not like I imagined
Since our baby was not planned we were both in shock for quite some time. I was five days late and was convinced “that time of the month” would eventually be here. I am not even quite sure why I bought the test. I was just thinking it was supposed to be done when your cycle was late. I took it and was not expecting two lines!! I took it, left it on the counter, came down and started dinner. I then went back up to check it, saw the two lines, checked the directions again and then said, “Ummmm, Tom?” I took the test to him and he read the directions the same way I did. Immediately he went to the store and bought another test in a different brand. He got home and I took that test. As we closed the bathroom door and watched the clock for three minutes we didn’t say much. The longest three minutes of my life went by and this test was a pink +.
At this point I had always pictured my husband smiling, hugging me, and saying something along the lines of being a daddy. Oh that did not happen! He actually didn’t say much to me for about an hour. We were both shocked because it was not planned and I was going to begin birth control after this cycle and we were not given that chance.
The next day we went to the doctor together where we took another test and were guaranteed we were having a baby. After we left is when we started the phone calls. We both have come to the realization we are going to be parents and things are well now. I am convinced both of our reactions were purely from shock!
The motorcycle is up for sale (it was totally Tom’s idea) and we are trying to figure out what the heck we are going to do in March-June during the school year. We have plenty of time to figure all that out and right now we are just talking names

New chairs for little money
I reupholstered our dining room chairs today. They were a burgundy velvet but now they are a western print in a fake suede material. I rather like them. It is amazing what a big difference such a small change can make in a home. for a few dollars our dining room looks totally different.
I am gradually adding to the western look of our home. It is expensive to decorate so one piece at a time we will get there.

Finally home!
I have been away from home for about a week. I went to Hermiston to be with my brother and sister for their 21st birthday then to the Oregon coast with my sister. I had a good time but I will tell you that it is nice to be back. After a long day of driving, then waiting for my plane, then the trip home, I got off the plane to see my husband with a bouquet of flowers. It was so sweet! He has something planned for this evening but he won’t tell me so only time will tell.

Heat, dogs, and a dirty house
Now is the time of the year that the temperature starts to warm up, the flowers are blooming (not necessarily the grass 
), and families are out taking vacations and having a good time. Summer is beautiful and I am really enjoying my time off work even though this post may not reflect that.
The one thing I am not enjoying is the cleaning. I LOVE LOVE LOVE to come home to a clean house (who doesn’t?) and since I don’t really have anything else to do I try and clean. The last few days I have just been tired of cleaning, and hoping that my house would be magically cleaned. Of course that doesn’t happen and it is up to me to get it done. Cleaning isn’t just enough for me though. When I clean I like to rearrange and it becomes more work then it ever should have been. There is so much that could be done! New floors, new table, spare room painted, deck painted, and landscaping finished are just a few of the things I would like to have done and my energy level and monetary funds are both severely lacking right now.
My family is coming up this weekend and for once I am not stressing about my house being clean. It does not stay clean when there are that many people in the house anyway so why should I go through the effort of cleaning every corner and shampooing the carpets?
Since I am already venting, here goes more! DOGS!! I am so tired of seeing, smelling, and, occasionally, stepping in dog mess. Boo’s potty is so small you don’t see it until you have to get down to carpet level for something and you get a stinky wiff. Claire on the other hand, when she goes you need a shop vac to suck it all up. I am going to the store today to see if I can find something to sprinkle on and soak up what I can’t get to. At the end of the day when Claire puts her nose on your leg and looks up at you with those cute eyes and Boo lays next to you and positions himself so he makes sure he is touching you, you can’t help but love them.
How can you not love them?

Weight loss challenge
I am tired of dreading getting dressed and putting on my nice clothes because they don’t fit. I will post here on a semi regular basis how my weight loss challenge is going. I am pretty sure I have an addiction to food so it won’t be easy but I know how thin I can be and I WILL GET THERE AGAIN!!

Do children make you less happy?
I read an article this morning which stated that a study done showed when people have children their happiness levels go down. When people say “the bundle of joy has arrived” they are actually wrong. There is no bundle of joy just a bundle of frustrations and, i am guessing, unhappiness. It showed that the “marital satisfaction decreases and only increases when the oldest child has left home.” A national study of families and households showed that no one who had children reported significantly greater well being than people with children. In the past, supposedly, people had children for specific reasons, such as working the farm and contributing to the family and today children are being born from emotion rather than necessity and the increasingly complicated work and social schedules are making happiness with children more difficult. It is to bad that the people who gave their child the job of fixing their relationship before it is even born didn’t read this article.
I am not saying I agree or disagree with this article. I have no children of my own so I have no experience with this topic, I just thought it was interesting to think about. I definitely do not think Tom should read this article!

Being home
After going on a trip there is nothing like coming home and sleeping in your own bed. Tom and I just returned from Hermiston’s Relay for Life. We raised a lot of money and our team never stopped walking. All night long someone was always on the track. I walked from 1-2am and Tom walked from 4-5 am. For the first time ever I stayed awake for 24 hours. I found out after approximately 28 hours what a toll it can take on a person. On our way home Tom had to drive because I just could not keep my eyes open. We got home about 2:30pm and I went to sleep immediately and did not get up again until 9:30am the next morning. It felt great to be home, comfortable, and rested!
