The 22 Day Lapse

What have I been doing?

I would like to spin you a tale of monsters and heros, but to be perfectly honest the most exciting thing to happen to me lately is that I found a $5 Starbucks gift card in my car.

That can't be enough to keep me occupied for the last 22 days, so what else has been going on? Well, I'm still pregnant, and man am I showing. Still having back problems, exacerbated by the fact that I have stumbed and almost fallen about, oh a hundred or so times. We hit our snowfall record this December a few days ago- and I mean the ALL TIME record- ever. The major league baseball record of stupid white cold mess.

My sister in law looks ready to burst, and by her account IS ready to burst. I have to be brutally honest here though, so in-law lovers look away:

I DO love my in-laws, but I swear to God, Allah, and Jesuit, (and to the other millions of Almighties I am leaving out) if one more person makes the "Jenny isn't going to make it much longer," comment, I might go postal.

She is only 31 weeks people, and if you constantly fill her poor head with that notion, she probably WON'T make it much longer. And lets face it, twins born before 32 weeks can have a lot of problems. WHY OH WHY THEN would you wish that on your daughter/sister/self? I myself (even though I can appreciate how uncomfortable she is, and I can't even begin to imagine having two of them)sincerely wants to see her make it to 36, which is considered full term for twins. For their sake of course.

Hubby is doing great, just had his latest escapade with a business called Primerica. I was okay with it at first, but when these people got pushy (i.e. wanted to look at OUR financial situation, and had Kev make calls to people he knows without having any formal training or licensing)I promptly told him to drop it. Unfortunately, Kevin left them his list of potential clients, and I am dreading that these people are going to pounce all over it.

Live and learn I guess.

I PROMISE to go more into detail when I have off this Thursday.

Merry Christmas to everyone that has stayed faithful to me, and here is to a fantastic new year!
