The "I CAN" Mom
House messy? I can get it all spick and span!
Floors dirty? I can clean them!
Bathroom need to be painted? I can get it done!
Guest Room/Office needs a complete overhaul? No problem!
I've realized that the only way that I can get everything done that needs to get done by the end of the month is by having an I CAN attitude.
Yes, it may seem trite, but seriously people, With Ms. Eorye here at your service, you have to understand that the only way I don't throw my hands up in frustration and call it quits is by tricking myself into thinking that getting my house ready for the first time my mother-in-law stays with us is a competition. Like a who has the cutest guest room competition!
I can do it! I am an "I CAN" mom! :)
My sister Courtney has a double ear infection right now. She has been complaining about her ears for some time, but she got to the point this morning where she couldn't take it anymore and went to the doc, and yup! She has a double ear infection, with fever to boot! Poor kiddo! I say it's from hearing "Mom, Mama, Mommy, Ma" all day long for an extended length of time. My daughter is just now getting into that "Mama" phase where she calls my name for everything and I already want to reduce my hearing capacity to 25% in each ear. So everyone say a quick prayer for my sister, that she will have a speedy recovery!
On another note, I am being forced to do something by my husband COMPLETELY and totally against my will. I've tried the whole, oh h*ll no I'm not going to do it. Then the whole, you can't make me... I am digging my heals in, but we all know he'll win in the end. I just have a huge problem with doing this and can not change my view on it. Will I do it? Yes, just to make my husband happy, not anyone else. But this is going to take a very large gulp of humility for me to swallow and I don't like to waste those large gulps...God knows whats up and I have to trust that in the end, he makes everything right. I can only hope that this can be of an example of what true integrity is and that other people can learn from it. You can thank my amazing husband who is true to his word for this example, not me.
New favorite thing about being pregnant!
Being fat for a purpose! My lovely love handles are going to be stretched out soon and I can start wearing more comfortable pants... oh the joy! :)

I swear, I can always count on a "Destiny" blog to make me laugh. That was one of the things that I loved about being pregnant too. My belly would pooch out at 7 weeks and I would tell people I was pregnant knowing good and well that it was not even close to being baby, but only that extra burrito I had the night before. I have no excuses now, I'm just fat!! I do refer to the fat though as "extra baby weight", I mean the kid is only 7 months old. I can refer to it as that until he is at least a year, I think. Anyway funny blog!!
Oh I am SO right there with you. I'm 5 weeks pregnant and already have the pooch of a 4 month pregnant lady. Gotta love it.. I'm excited that in like 2 more months I don't have to keep sucking it in! I'll just say, "I'm pregnant" :)
i usually enjoy my husband's suggestions...i'm sorry i'm trying so hard not to be inappropiate, but the way you worded that whole "my husband wants me to do something" segment- i couldn't help but smicker at all the naughty possabilities.
