Moving slow

I am tired...but it is not from staying up late last night. Thanks for the comments by the way, I eventually went to bed around midnight and didn't sleep too bad. Kate slept in a bit and so did Matt so I was able to sleep until 6:45 a.m.! And today Matt's mom, LeAnn, took Kate to multiple parks while I painted the nursery. Under non-preggo circumstances I probably could have knocked out that room in an hour and a half, but I am mego-preggo so it took a wee bit longer. However, I am finished painting the nursery! And I pulled a rug from the closet and stretched it out. It looks like a real, livable room!

I am now lounging in front of the tv dipping a Gala apple in peanut butter. Ahhh...this is how I like to spend nap time.

Hey, what kind of paint do you use that is safe while preggo? I need to do some painting too. I've heard of "Harmony" from Shermain-Williams but was hoping to find a cheaper version of the same thing.

The Harmony paint is really expensive! I was using a cheap low odor paint I found at our local hardware store. It did the job and didn't smell as much as normal paint. I will admit I've done a little painting with the normal paints like Behr while pregnant. I hope that wasn't a bad decision. I'm running out of time to get projects done and I worry if I wait too much longer then my back won't hold out much longer. A couple of hours of painting changes me into an 90 year old woman...so I better get the painting done now before it gets worse.

October things...

Image
It has not been the easiest October on record. Kate had a couple of hospital visits to Rochester but she is somewhat better at the moment. She continues with chemotherapy and has not been back to school for quite some time but she is doing her best to set aside time for online school work between naps, loving on cats, and hanging out with her family. I was able to get the girls to visit their great grandma in western Iowa a few weeks back. Here's Claudia shortly after arriving at great grandma's house. She is very into jewelry and lots of it. Grandma had several questions for her about the number of bracelets and thankfully Claudia loves talking about them. Many she has made, some were gifted to her...it's a lovely hodgepodge of middle school girl goodies. Clearly the girls and I were blessed with height genes from relatives not named great grandma. We spent time relaxing, taking four wheeler rides, eating candy and we also received a visit from my aunt and uncle. Aunt Deb ...

March Madness 2024...

Let's talk brackets. I love a good competition. I love to win. But when I don't win I can typically move on quite quickly from a loss (unless we are specifically talking about Big Six Swim Offs, but I digress.) We have a family group on ESPN for the men's NCAA basketball tournament and it's "high stakes" with no entry fee, a chocolate rabbit for the winner and most importantly bragging rights. While I've never won, nor have I ever been close to winning, I thought I'd share my rationale for my picks through the first round of play. You should not follow this advice but if you so choose to, don't blame me when you too lose out to a cat with it's own bracket. East Region UConn 1 v Stetson 16: This is a silly way to start because it's a 16 v a 1 seed and clearly we know the very likely outcome of this game. But if I could, I'd choose Stetson cologne over a Huskie dog because Huskies kind of scare me a little. Regardless I am going with the ...

The dark day of June 27th...

 June 12, 2023 We typically don't share a lot of updates about Kate's health, primarily because she wants to remain "a normal teenager." However, we still get asked how Kate is doing and I started thinking maybe it's okay to share updates now and again. Most people care about her and our family, some others could maybe be labeled as "tragedy junkies," but I'm going to operate under the assumption that most people have the best of intentions.  Today is June 12th and we are quickly approaching the dreaded dark day of June 27th. Have you watched, "Gilmore Girls?" It's a witty, comforting television show from the early 2000's. In it one of the main characters has what is dubbed, "a dark day." This is a day the character dreads each year and in response he goes into hiding from the world with no communication. Well for Kate, and the rest of us to some degree, the dark day of the year is June 27th and that date is closing in on ...
