I'm Pregnant - And that is my Excuse!!!!

So I'm behind on blogging.... shopping for Christmas.... cleaning the house.... washing the clothes.... feeding my family.... Christmas Cards....and who knows what else! I'm pregnant for those of you who don't know. I'm about 9 weeks now and have been soooo tired. All I really want to do is lie around all day and sleep. I've been a little sickly, but mostly just tired. And running after Kate is not helping. Hubby is trying his best (I think) to help with dinner and with Kate. Still complains about me not cleaning though. I feel as though I'm in some sort of warp zone and I can't get out. I'm not sleeping well... wake up about two to three times a night and either have to pee or I'm realizing that I forgot to do something I should have done three days ago. Hence I am awake at 5 this morning blogging. It is Sunday people!!!!!

I already feel as if I'm being a not so great mom to Kate because I just don't feel like playing. Of course I feel like she has become a little more demanding lately, but that could be from me being tired. She has recently decided she is a little chef. She loves, loves, loves her play kitchen. She is constantly telling me she wants to cook me something which usually consists of peas and pancakes! I know, sounds gross to me, but the fact that she is making an effort is great and I don't have to pretend I'm cooking. Now only if she will learn to really cook! She is also testing me a lot lately. I tell her not to do something and she automatically does it anyways. She is very defiant. I'm guessing she gets this from her daddy. She also has a smart mouth on her too, which I will not completely blame her daddy but give him half credit. She wants to dress herself sometimes too, and thinks she knows what matches. It is like fighting her daddy who is color blind. We were almost late to MDO one day because we were fighting over whether her socks matched her outfit. Crazy I know! She is very excited about Christmas and Santa coming. We have seen him twice now and the second time she actually sat on his lap. I was so excited. She knew it was a photo opp because as soon as she got in his lap she gave her quirky little smile and screamed "Cheese". What a goofball! I will post pics of her on Santa as soon as I download them. I think that about sums it up. So if you get this and don't get a Christmas card, don't be mad. It is probably sitting on my counter. Maybe you will get it next year!!!!
