I stink at blogging... :P
I can't believe (okay, well, I guess I can) that I haven't posted in so long! lol There's been quite a bit of stuff going on around here. I had different plans as to how I would make my big announcement here on the blog, but all of those take too much effort, so I'll just blurt it out. I'm pregnant. I was going to take a picture of the two pregnancy tests and post those, then I was going to post a picture of the ultrasound...but this is just so much easier :P LOL

So, I'm about 10 weeks along now. My due date is March 19th :) I will find out at 20 weeks if it's a boy or a girl!! Can't wait for that part...that means the baby will be moving around inside of me too...that's my favorite part of pregnancy!

I haven't had too much sickness...just a lot of tiredness. I had about two weeks of nausea (off and on) and then I suddenly started feeling better. I do still feel icky sometimes before and after eating, but it's not bad at all. With Josh and Abby I was sick through the end of the 3rd month...nausea and vomiting fun :P I'm guessing this pregnancy is different because I'm almost 10 years older now...eek!

Yeah, that's another thing that happened...I turned 30 on August 4th. I thought I would totally freak out on my b-day, but finding out just 8 days before that I was pregnant kinda took the sting out of turning 30...LOL Tim and Lisa and the kids through a little surprise party for me, that night, after Lisa and I got back from eating Mexican food :) We then watched Constantine (I thought it was pretty good...could have been scarier though). Anyhoo, I've been craving Mexican like it's going out of style!!!! LOL It was already my favorite type of food, and I've always said I could eat it every day, but now, I think I could eat it for breakfast, lunch and dinner, every...single...day...heehee!

The kids started back at school last Monday :( They are in the 3rd grade this year!! They actually have two teachers too...the only class at Una that does! If I understand them correctly, the teachers should be taking turns teaching...one the first half of the week, the other the second half of the week. They say it will be good for the kids because the teacher will be refreshed. So far, the kids like both of them...it was a big relief :)

Our new bus driver stinks. I want Mrs. Taylor back!!! Our former bus driver was the most wonderfully strict driver you could ever wish for. She kept those kids in line, and in turn, kept them VERY safe. This lady doesn't even wait for them to sit down before she starts taking off, and on the third day of school she totally missed Josh and Abby's stop and ended up dropping them off at the entrance of the subdivision and had them walk all the way home from there!!! Grrrrr... Poor Abby was crying her eyes out when they finally got home because she was afraid she would never make it home...Josh was just really mad... To make matters worse, the lady lied to me when I asked her about it. The kids had told me that when they yelled out that she missed their stop, she blamed it on them and said that she was too busy to turn around and she just kept going all the way to the front of the subdivision. The driver told me a slightly different story...she said that she told them she could turn around, but she'd have to call it in to dispatch or something like that. She said that she dropped them off just at the next street over and then watched them walk down the hill. I don't believe her any farther than I could throw her. The kids showed me exactly where she dropped them off and it is way farther down the route than she said. Double grrrrr... Luckily, she is just a substitute until someone else takes the route permanently. I'm just hoping that the next driver is more like Mrs. Taylor was. It ends up that Mrs. Taylor took a different route and is now drive disabled kids to and from school.

Whew...let's see...oh! Lisa and I took the kids to see Sky High the Saturday before school started! It was a really cute movie and the kids enjoyed it :)

I haven't had much creative energy these days...the last thing I worked on was a business card design for Catherine from Marry Me Productions :) I miss doing linkware, but I just haven't had any good ideas lately or much energy to do it. I can't believe how tired I am...it's weird!

Alrighty, well, I think I've written enough for now. My brain is fried from trying to remember what all has happened over the past two months! LOL Toodles <3

Congratulations on the baby! Hope that you get a better bus driver for your kids soon. My husband is a bus driver and sadly some bad people slide through the cracks (mostly subs)
My suggestion to you is call the bus company and complain each and everytime it happens if nothing else they will atleast watch the driver closer to ensure that dosn't happen again, to your kids or anyone elses! Bus companies ALWAYS take parent comments
serious, the last thing they want is a lawsuit or you going to the media!! You could also tell the kids school but they will most likly send your call to the bus company!! Hope this helps!!
