Lazy

I'm Lazy.. sorry.. I have been meaning to update my blog for a month now.. Still haven't done it yet. I have some pics from haying (which is what we did for the majority of July), and some random's. I'll work on that whole lazy thing.... someday :o)

So for a baby update.. 28 weeks yesterday.. 12 to go! This pregnancy is SO much better than last time. I can't even explain it. I still am not to the point of saying, "Oh being pregnant is the best thing ever," I doubt I'll ever say that, but at least I'm not retaining 40 lbs of water and have feet bigger than my husbands this time. Ugh. It was horrible. I'm just pluggin along, trying so hard not to let my job stress me out too much. It's hard, but I've been doing this for 9 years now, so I think I can figure it out.

Logan... Nothing new with him really. His birthday is coming up.. 9/11. So I've got the party planning bug going on. We are gonna break down and get him a quad this year. Jeremy just can't wait, neither can I acutally. :o) Still not potty trained. I did take some advice (which I'm ALWAYS looking for) from my sister in law, and told him this am, that since he's gonna be 3, he can't poop in his pants anymore. He's 3, so he's not a baby and baby's poop in thier pants. So we'll see. It work for one of her kids. I've tried everything else I've been told/read about.

Jeremy... He's getting ready for Archery Elk Season that starts in Sept. My dining room looks like a war zone.. camo/arrow's and everything else a guy "needs" to hunt. He hasn't started to drive me nuts yet.. but I'm sure it's coming. Usually about 2 weeks before a big hunting trip I start wanting to kill him. This is new this year, since he drew a special tag for elk.

Me.... Well, I'm just trying to stay calm. Work is so busy and so stressful and I've learned my lesson over and over not to get too stressed out.. my body just can't handle it. So my flowers, walking, my family and making time for me has been really important the last few months. I'm on the downward part of the mountain of projects I have before maternity leave, unfortunatly you've all read about all the Thurston County Budget woes.. well, that's what I do friends.. I manage our dept. budget, so with all the things our dept has been doing I haven't had any time for budget. So for the next month I will be jumping through all the hoops and filling out all the forms and blah blah blah for a Sept 19 deadline. Then I have a month to train people how to be me for 3 months. Should be a good time. Now if I could only drink....

So that's all for us right now. I'll post some pics soon.. promise.

Love,
Corrine

I am so glad this pregnancy is going so much better for you!!
I hear you on the potty training...Nolin finally did just after turning 3 (really hoping for an easier time with Kyle). PBS on-line games worked as bribery for us.

Glad to see you're alive friend! Sounds like this pregnancy is a lot better. Can't wait to see pics.

Gosh I was beginning to worry about you....well actually I was about to write you a "nasty" comment and tell you I needed an update on the Cole fam....well I am glad all is good with you guys, oh and the potty training thing...sad to say itbut bribery always worked for me! Just throw out the "boys that poop in their pants can't ride a "real" quad"....you know what I am saying....and if that doesn't work, I swear to you he will just do it one day! Good luck!
