Get Ready For A Oh So Exciting Post

The first words out of Josh's mouth this morning were "Are you ok?" (I guess I must have looked pretty rough or something.) I just stared back at him for a second, trying to wake up, and said "Yeah. I'm just tired. Been really busy the last few days." He then made me promise that I would just stay home today. He told me that when he came home he wanted to see me in my pajamas and sitting either in bed or on the couch. I told him that I could do that - however it would probably be on the couch because I had to do laundry today, and our sheets really needed washed. He said I could do laundry, but the only thing that I was allowed to organize was the basket with junk mail and random things on our kitchen counter.

So today, I am taking a day off. But I wanted to post on my blog, so here are a few random things I have been thinking about as I lay here:

- I sometimes joke with Josh that I am glad that we don't have a basement because I think he would lock me in it and not let me go anywhere if we did. I joke about how he might as well take my car keys and put locks on all the doors. He is always telling me that he thinks I should stay home and take it easy. He says it is because I am pregnant, but honestly, I think he wants me to stay home because he knows that I spend more money when I am out and about. Stopping at Target or Hobby Lobby, a trip through the drive thru, even going to the park or a friends house often turns into me spending some money here and there. His theory is I should just stay home. He is probably right, but if he starts to lock me in, I will let y'all know. (NO, he would never do that!)

- My child is addicted to Max and Ruby. I mean seriously addicted. She and Max are close. She calls him often during the day on her play phone. I wish she would ask him where his mother is. However they usually talk about snow bunnies, candy, and toys. Things got a little tense around here a few weeks ago when Josh deleted some of her episodes off our DVR. I can't really blame him. How was he suppose to know that "Sponge Bob Squarepants" (which we don't let her watch) was really her favorite episode - the one with the snow bunny. Papa saved the day and bought her a DVD set of Max and Ruby (Ruby and Max) so I think we are going to make it.

- It has been really cold the last week or so here in NC. I think that since it is so cold we should at least have some snow to go with it. So the other day when I heard the weather man say that we were going to have some snow I got a little excited. Then I heard the actual forecast. There are calling for - wait for it - a whole inch of snow! An inch? 1 inch? Um...that doesn't count. I just had to laugh.

- Over my "Christmas Break" when Alyse was with her Grammy and Papa, Josh and I went to see "The Blind Side". I, my friends, bawled the whole movie! I would like to blame it on my pregnancy hormones, but honestly the story really touched me deep down in my heart. I could go on and on about the reasons why, but I think that would be a really long post.

- Look for a "Bachelor Post" soon. I started to write about that on here too, but I think it was turning into a post of it's own.

- I also have a few police stories that I have been wanting to tell you. I will have to talk to my superior and get clearance first though.

- Are you still reading? I know this post is so thrilling!

- If you are still reading, my blog friend Mindy is having a very cute blog give away. Go here to check it out. (Her post might be much more interesting than this one.)

- Still thinking about baby names. I think that is what I am going to do some searching today. Unless I finally decide to pick up "Breaking Dawn" (which is the final Twilight book for those of you who don't know.) I have been putting it off because I know that I will get distracted until it is done. But since it is my day off, maybe today is a good day.
