Howdy

I'm still around just VERY BUSY and VERY VERY TIRED. Instead of my usual jumping on the computer before the kiddos are up, I've been crawling back into bed. It doesn't help, I'm still ready to crash by 5pm. My mid-wife knows me well, at my appointment Tuesday, she told me not to overdo it, even though she knew I was anyway.
Lots of canning, and now in the works: more canning, the garden needs weeded, I'm making Honey's flowergirl dress, for my brothers September wedding, I'm planning a shower for his fiance (which I am WAY excited about, I'll have lots of pictures, I am making a dress for me for the wedding, the fair is coming up, I need to figure out a school schedule for Honey, and a new cleaning routine, my dear cousins baby shower is coming up, and a spectacular gift is a must, B.'s birthday is Monday, I have canning to do, My sister is coming home from Mozambique in 2 weeks, the fair is coming up, I have "other" sewing that needs done(cloth napkins for the shower),the house needs a good cleaning, another sisters graduation party is coming up, and I need to get off my bum and finish the invitations for the shower. Is that all? I think so for now.

In other tidbits, I was having a serious chips and salsa craving last week, and dove into them while loading my groceries into the van. Shoving them in like a crazed woman is more accurate. An elderly gentelman was walking towards the store and snorted and chuckled as he passed by. I smiled and said "Pregnancy craving, I cannot wait any longer." He burst out laughing and said something about needing to keep the baby fed.
I had a third ultra-sound this week. At my 20 week one, the tech found a cyst, but Lil' Bit wouldn't keep still long enough to dtermine if it was on me or her. Tuesdays U/S showed its either on the umbilical cord, or the placenta, but NOT on the baby, specifically her spine. It will be gone when I have the baby, who by the way, is still un-named, and will be for sometime it seems.

Honey is well, she's been rather difficult lately, but she has kept us laughing too. Sunday she said to Daddy "Here you go my good man." and she's been singing " Holy, Holy, are you Lord God on my teen. Wordy is the land..."

Biscuit has been also singing "ho-yee". And he can climb out of the crib. Fortunately, I think I've stopped him.
He's also been tough, but I'm sure its due to his last, 2 top molars, he is a slow and cranky teether.
Well, thats the update for now, I'll be able to post more once I'm able to get in some kind of groove. I hope.

P.S. spell check isn't working, just so you know.

Thanks for your comments!! Can I have your recipe for the corn and black bean salsa? I love making it fresh and would love to can some.
Have fun with your ultrasound.

Ack. You made me tired with all the stuff you have coming up. I really don't know how you do it!!

Glad that the cyst isn't on Baby! I've been wondering how the U/S went for ya. I've been meaning to call, but I probably won't bug you since you are so busy!

Take care...we can't make it to Cara's party, but will see you soon.

I thought of more to say...

1)Your kids' singing sounds adorable! I love that Biscuit has picked up on the song.

2)Everyone I have shown my U/S picture to says Button has my nose or looks like me. Her nose was the first thing I noticed when I saw the picture, too. Poor kid!

Yikes Mrs. Bonnie, all that stuff going on would be enough to give me an ulcer! But I forgot, you don't sleep-- so you have more hours in your day than us sleepers! Seriously though, I do worry a little, just want to make sure than baby is born healthy and strong!

Busy, busy, busy! And with all that work, no wonder you are a superior 1930s wife!

I agree with Morning! :)

You put me to shame, that's for sure! :)

Take good care, and by all means eat all the chips and salsa you crave!
