People have NO manners!

As I am sure everyone knows I am 20 weeks pregnant. I knew that I was eventually going to get people making stupid comments, I just didn't realize that it would be this early. Last week was the first week that I began to really show. I believe I have gained a total of 7 pounds so far. Totally normal. It's not like I have gained 50 pounds or anything. Anyways, today a lady looked at me and the first words out of her mouth were - Oh my gosh you have gotten soooo big. Are you sure you are not having twins because you look big enough to be having twins. I was like HUH?? No I am not having twins. She says - Are you sure because you look really big? Then she says - How many weeks are you? I told her, and she says Well I guess that's normal. REALLY?? Did she just say that? As you can guess I was so mad. My next thought was - Go ahead and have a seat and let me use these very sharp shears on your head!!! She's lucky that she didn't leave bald. Too bad I am way too chicken to ever take revenge through a haircut. Guess I should just prepare myself for this kind of stuff.

Crazy dreams!

Everyone told me about these crazy dreams that I might start getting once I got pregnant. Boy were they not kidding. They began pretty early on in my pregnancy and have just gotten progressively weirder.

Last night I had a dream that I was floating down some insane rapids on a child size floaty with some friends from high school. I almost died. When we got to the end one of them had found 40 bucks. The 40 bucks was the change that I keep for customers at work I blamed one of them for stealing it and ran off. All of the sudden I was at work and was yelling at the owner about someone stealing squirts of my conditioner. I told her that if she didn't get a handle on these people stealing my stuff I was leaving. Then I was instantly somewhere else. I don't know what any of this is about. I guess because I am not pleased with the owner and have been considering a salon move after the baby comes.

I woke up and went back to sleep and then came the AWFUL dream. It was about Rory our youngest dog. I had a dream that she was too sick to continue living. So while we were at my grandmas old house in Arizona I decided to cut off her legs. All but one came off easily with a plastic knife and with no blood whatsoever. The last one started to bleed so I didn't remove that one. (Creepy) So there she is with one leg (I'm sure this came from the fact that she only has the use of 3 legs and I feel like it''s our fault for not fixing her 4th one) Then I decide to remove her ear, just one though. Then I say - Well I guess she's not gonna die like this - the EASY way so lets take her to the vet to have her put to sleep. (hmmmm) I get in the car carrying her (cuz she can't walk without legs) and Mike is driving the car. (This comes from discussing riding with him and Jen on Friday) We get to the vet and they come out with a stretcher for her. All of the sudden Mike is James. We are holding her down so they can give her the shot. Suddenly Rory turns into a screaming baby. WHAT!! I started screaming and crying. Then I woke up in tears. This was probably the craziest dream I have had so far. Please don't try and have me committed.

Stupid Styrofoam Cups

Last night I had this monster headache. Ya know. The kind where it is actually pounding in your head and you can’t stand the sound of even your own thoughts. Well, because I am pregnant the only thing I can take for headaches is Tylenol. Tylenol sucks. It does not give me any relief at all. The only thing that gives me even temporary relief is caffeine. So my wonderful husband went out of his way to stop at Jack in the Box to get me some much desired curly fries and to pick me up a soda that would help relieve my headache. I was so glad when he arrived at our house with the soda in hand. It was huge! It was like one of those 44 oz cokes. Of course I would never drink that much but whatever. I took a total of 5 sips of my soda and the bottom of my Styrofoam cup fell out. SODA EVERYWHERE!! It was all over the carpet. It took 6 towels and a lot of scrubbing with Resolve to get it all out. As you can imagine I was thrilled. Not only was my headache not gone it was worse from the fumes of the Resolve. James had stepped out for a second so it was all up to me to get the stains out. They came out, but it took FOREVER!!! So in a nutshell I HATE STYROFOAM CUPS!!!!!
