…or… “Sleepin’ Away, Later Today”
I found myself chatting about my day on my doctor’s post and decided to split it into a separate post instead. I kinda like to keep the doctor visit posts more “official” in case some other preggy lady is out there reading about my experiences and tryin’ to learn something. 
After the Doctor’s Visit
Back at home (it was about 10:30 am), we picked up dad and headed to a local favorite little “hole in the wall” for breakfast. After eating, mom and I went to Goody’s and Kato’s just for the heck of it. I am SO ready to get back into regular clothes! I about cried with joy while waltzing through the new spring fashions of Goody’s misses department. Of course I’m not one for buying a new clothes (my friends call me cheap…I just say I’m very frugal!) and usually do my shopping at consignment / thrift stores - but every now and then the desire to buy buy buy buy buy everything new in sight will hit me hard. Mom calls it a wild hair up my youknowhat. I guess going for 8 months wearing nothing more than a plain rotation of 5 pregnancy shirts and 3 preggy pants will do that to a lady, huh. :) You’ll be happy to know though that I walked out of two stores without spending a dime, even though the temptation was there.
By the end of our walk through Katos though, I was hurtin’. We had planned on going to the Dollar Tree, but my energy was draining fast and my back was starting to ache. So we headed back to my parents house. We’re having a funeral tomorrow at our church (my mom’s brother’s wife’s brother passed) and my dad works the sound system and I do all of the secretarial type computer stuff - so we all headed out to the church at that time to get the funeral service bulletins approved by the son and get last minute details straitened out. I let my dad take care of everything, and hunkered down in the nursery (in their big comfy rocker) to read Anne of Green Gables (it was a children’s illustrated abridged version). I finished the whole book while we were there and then fell asleep! We had brought my dad’s yorkie Priss with us, so in the corner of my mind all I kept hearing was the sounds of her little dog tags jangling as she ran up and down the hall following my dad everywhere. It was pretty funny to listen to.
We made it back home about 3:00 pm and I was completely worn out. So I got cozy on mom’s couch and read the books of Amos, Joel, and Jonah (in the Bible). By the time I was starting to go through Micah, I felt my energy completely die and I had to put the book down and snuggle up for a nap. I was asleep within probably 20 seconds. All I remember the rest of the evening was waking up around 5:30 to eat a chicken meal dad brought in from Church’s Chicken (a fast food restaurant down here), my hubby kissing me when he came over at 6:30 after work - and then American Idol start at 9:00.
Thankfully I didn’t sleep through the American Idol results! I wasn’t too surprised with Kristy Cook leaving tonight. That countryfied version of 8 Days a Week was too much for even my redneck southern ears to bear.
After the results, Kev and I headed back home, fed the animals and now everything is quiet and peaceful.
Uh….well, everything except for the 5 puppies who are currently screaming in our bedroom and Gabby (our chow) who is pawing profusely at the door to be let out and away from her noisy children. Even my parrot is getting in on the commotion now!!!
I guess I better go check on them. Night!
What Next?
