10 years ago, I was VERY pregnant, very hot and completely miserable with my first baby. I had a pregnancy rash called PUPS (I don’t remember what it stands for and Who comes up with these names??). It was an itchy rash…not gross by any means, just itchy. I don’t remember it being bumpy, red, scaly or anything. I just itched from head to toe, 24-7. It was really bad and I had it for several weeks. Apparently there isn’t anything you can do or take for it and it will not go away until after delivery. I was also still working and big and clumsy. So life was pretty miserable.
What is on my To-Do list today?
- Take my car into the shop to fix the A/C. Yippeee!!!

- Take the kids to Playgroup/Picnic at the Park
- Pick up Chris for lunch since I have his car, since mine is in the shop
- Take Chris back to work
- Get my VT appointments set-up
- Wash at least 2 loads of laundry
- Figure out and make dinner which will most likely mean a trip to the grocery store
- Pick up Chris from work
- Pick up my car from the shop…hopefully.
- Be visit taught
- Take the son of one of the sisters I visit to 11-yr old Scouts
- Take Tyler to Scouts
- Help the Bear Leader with Scouts and meet with new Wolf Leaders
- Come home and deal with 4 kids while Chris heads to job #2
- Lose my mind…oops, that’s already done
What are 3 habits of mine?
- Obsessing about Soup Can Labels, Box Tops and Weber Milk Caps. I have no idea where this began, but I’m pretty sure that I’m single handedly supporting our school through my contributions. I can not see a box/can/jug go without cutting off the labels. I even collect them on vacation.
- List making. I love to make lists and like to see things crossed off.
- Checking email, blogs, dropshots, etc. I’m seriously thinking about putting myself in time out and only getting on the computer once a day. I hop on so many times to look up phone numbers, type a quick note, look up a recipe, etc. and I think, “Oh, I’ll just check my email or blogs really quick”…an hour later…not so bad if it only happened once a day.
3 Things you might not know about me:
- I own all the Barbie Movies, and Land Before Time movies except for the very last one and its KILLING Me!!
- I’m neurotic about paint colors. I probably have about 200 different paint chips in the color of cream-beige-khaki-taupe. It took me forever to pick out the color for my living room. In the end, it had to be a quick decision at the paint counter because they didn’t have the exact color I had FINALLY picked out! It ended up being very ordinary “Classic Khaki”. I was really disappointed that it didn’t have a cooler name…like tumbleweed or pebble, or featherplume…which is actually yellow, why? I don’t know but it’s a nice color, I just don’t get the relation between the name and the color. I am happy with the Khaki by the way.
- I wear “slippers” (flip flops) all the time. Even in the winter. My kids tease me because one Christmas I was putting up Christmas lights/decorations in the yard with about 4-6 inches of snow on the ground and I was wearing slippers. People always ask me if my feet get cold…they don’t. If my feet are cold, I’m sick.

I loved this!! I totally identify with the checking e-mail/blogs time waster. Same thing happens to me. I tell Kyle I'm just going to check my e-mail and then we can go to bed. 1 hour later, I've checked 20 blogs and posted an entry on mine. It's a bad habit!!
Anyway, loved reading this! I learned some things about you I didn't know!
