If you’re bored… because I know it has been kind of boring lately here on this blog… Head over to www.trafficjam.com This is a great new site featuring all kinds of fun blogs. You just might find a new favorite to add to your list!

I had this big long post written out and somehow it didn’t get saved! That drives me crazy! Anyway… here we go again.

It is pretty boring around here. I have arisen from my recluse state to make my obligatory blog post of the week. I spend as much time as possible in bed these days. I rotate between watching T.V. (BORING), trying to eat something, read, try to eat something, sleep, try to eat something - repeat. Oh may these next 6 1/2 weeks go by fast so the morning sickness may be over! It is amazing how you forget how awful you feel in this stage of pregnancy until it hits you again.

We had a nice snow yesterday, about 5-6 inches I would say. Kind of hard to tell because of course the wind blew and it drifted. I wasn’t sure I was going to make it home from school with Christian yesterday as some of the drifts were pretty bad on the country roads. There was one car stuck that I sent Matt to go rescue when I got home. It was a high school kid and he had already called his dad by the time Matt got there so that was good.

Yes, I only had one child to pick up from school yesterday - Ryan has been in and out of school all week struggling with a bug that basically his whole class has been passing back and forth. Blech - Like I said PLEASE - hurry up these next few weeks and bring us some spring!

Anyway, I am also in charge of our school book fair next week, so in my okay moments I have been trying to make phone calls to line up volunteers and all that. fun fun!

I hope you’re having a great week!

Hey, how’s it going? I am feeling more and more “green” by the day. I always struggle with morning sickness, but always pray it will pass me by for each pregnancy. This time I’m just praying it isnt’ as bad as it was with my last little one. Of course it is all worth it in the end, but these first few weeks seem soooo long!

Anyway, my good friend Debi Silber “The Mojo Coach” is an awesome Lifestyle & Fitness expert, and she is hosting a free teleseminar Thursday March 6th, at 2:00 p.m. EST that I wanted to be sure to tell you about.

My life is so hard. LOL I went to watch TV last night and somehow The Biggest Loser, American Idol and the premier of Big Brother 9 were all on at the same time! Such a catastrophe! My DVR can only record two shows at once and you can’t watch something different when they are recording, so I missed the last hour of Biggest Loser. Oh don’t you just feel so sorry for me? LOL Truthfully, I really am not a huge TV addict (or at least I didnt’ think I was…) but those are all shows I enjoy. They reality type stuff gets me I guess. You gotta watch something since all my other normal shows aren’t on due to the writers strike craziness. What have you been watching lately? Anything?

I haven’t accomplished anything too major lately. I had high intentions to take part in the 20 cent listing day on e-bay today to list all of my scrapbooking stuff that I need to sell. We have lived in this house almost two years and I haven’t used it at all… I used to be a Close To My Heart Consultant, so I have an abundance. My rule is if I don’t use something for a year it gets donated or sold. Anway, that didn’t get done. Instead I have been lazy and lounging around - working on growing a baby.

Yup, we just found out a couple weeks ago that we are expecting baby #4. This one was a bit of a surprise, but I am pretty excited. The idea is still growing upon my husband I think, but hopefully soon he will be able to grasp the excitement.

So, that is the major news around here. We are off to church for dinner (yea! I don’t have to cook!) and church.

I hope you’re having a great week!

It seems my kids have SOOOOO much energy the last few days… I’m not sure if it is they are tired of being stuck inside for the winter or what. Today they went out and played in the snow for a good hour and had basketball to burn off energy and they still are wild as ever. Who knows. Guess I shouldn’t expect anything different with three BOYS.

We had a big snow yesterday - I think we ended up with about 12 inches or so. It’s kind of hard to tell with the drifts, but it is certainly beautiful. School was cancelled so of course the boys were excited about that. I think I spent the typical 25 min. finding all their snow clothes and getting them all bundled up, and then they wanted to come in about 10 minutes later, leaving a large wet lump of clothes. Such is life!

Have you started your taxes yet? (I know it’s still early) I had my accountant finish up my 1099’s for my independant contractors, but other than that I have been dreading compiling everything. I guess I should just do it and get it over with. I would rather know early if I need to pay or am getting a refund instead of three days before they are due…

Well, not too much else is happening at the moment. I better go run the boys through their baths and pop them into bed. I hope you’re having a great weekend!
