Twilight

So this movie just came out on DVD. I bought all the books for my daughter for Christmas. I really didn't care for all the hoopla in regards to this movie. But I finally saw it at my daughters request. Oh my gosh! What the heck was I waiting for???? I love this movie.

I so love Edward (Robert Pattinson). Oh my gosh he's hot!!! So now I'm hooked and an official Twilight fan. I can't wait for the next movie to come out and I'll be borrowing my daughters books to read. I watched the movie twice over the weekend and plan on buying it tomorrow when I'm out and about.

Although the analytical part of me realizes this movie doesn't make that much sense, I love it! I have questions about this movie though. For instance, if Edward was 17 in 1918 when he became a vampire, then why does he act weird at times, almonst unhuman like? If he was human before, why does he act like he doesn't know what sleep is like, he finds it fascinating? I mean, hello??? He use to sleep so he shjould know what it feels like and what it is. Just little things like that bother me. But I can get past them. I mean, he is hot! hehe

So I'll be first in line when the New Moon comes out in November.

And of course I bought the soundtrack on itunes. Love it!

Bad News

It turns out I'm no longer pregnant. It was a chemical pregnancy. I'm sad, but ok.

These things happen and I'm ok with that.

I'll try to post again later. I have quite a bit of homework that needs to get done today.

Good Morning

Today after I take two of my kids to school (the other has afternoon kindergarten) I'll be off for another blood test. I'm a little nervous. I'm hoping my hcg levels have doubled like they should and all will be fine. This is the most nerve wracking part of the pregnancy for me; the first trimester. Oh and of course the battery of tests ran in the first month of the second trimester.

I've been awake since 4:30 this morning. It seems in the last5 days, I fall asleep earlier and wake up earlier. I don't mind waking up earlier, but since I am pregnant, by noon I am really tired. But I can't nap bc I'm afraid I'll over sleep and my kids will be waiting at school for me wondering where mom is. But by the time they get off from school, and I have one of the craziest schedules, with my son getting out at 1:55, my youngest daughter at 3:05 and then my oldest daughter at 6pm bc of softball practice, I'm all over the map. It's just as bad in the morning. We leave by 7:40 am, my sons school starts at 7:55. But there is this huge long drive thru line (his school is valet drop off) that by the time we finally reach the school it's 8am. I know we should leave earlier, but if we do, we are there before anyone else (yard duties) and I can't leave him alone. My oldest starts at 8:15, but the school is right next door, so we just hop over there next.

But since there are 3 schools on one block, literally, elementary, junior high and high school, there is traffic galore. it's a mad house getting there an back. By the time i get back home, it's 8:30. Then my youngest goes at 11:35.

So I only have an hour and a half before I have to leave again to pick up my son. And the schools are about 5 or so miles (I forgot and don't really like to think how far I drive 10 times a day, LOL) from the house and no bus.

So....there's my daily schedule. Not to mention the work I do at home and school work. I'm so glad I'm taking most of my classes online. I really thought it would be hard and it was at first. But since my school offers sit ins whenever I want (I can sit in during a day class if I need more instruction) this can help. I haven't done it yet as I don't get much time to and it's about half an hour from the house with no traffic. But if I get to a point where I need to, hubby said he'll come home early enough one day (maybe per week if I need to or just once) so I can sit in.

Well, I'm off. I'll report back when I get my results later this afternoon.

I'm pregnant

So I discovered I was pregnant on Friday. Pretty crazy considering we already have 3 kids, I'm going to school full time (I've actually made most of my classes online bc I got sick of the drive, with the exception of one on campus now) and we're adding/remodeling the house beginning in May.

But there was that desire that I thought was long gone. Both of us started desiring to have another child about a month ago. We were going to wait until May to start trying, but we kind of jumped into it thinking it would take a few months. Nope. I'm pregnant. But I'm so early they're watching my hcg levels, as on Friday it was just 10. Tomorrow I take another blood test to see if they have climbed. I'm not even 4 weeks yet, until Tuesday at least.

I've had 2 miscarriages in the past, the last one being 5 years ago next month. 2 preemies and all three I went into premature labor with but put on brethine to extend the pregnancies.

I only told my grandma, both bff's and another friend of mine, besides the kids and hubby of course.

A part of me is leery to share since I've lost 2 before. But I'm also excited and want to share with everyone.

I'm praying this baby will be healthy. That's all I care about.

Hubby told his friend and as soon as he gets back from his weekend biz trip, he'll tell his mom.

I want to surprise my mom at Easter when we go to visit. I plan on putting a copy of the ultrasound in an Easter card and surprising her that way. She'll probably begin to think I have this thing with cards and surprises seeing back in December when I got my accident settlement, I gave her some money for Christmas that solved her bills.

My mom works hard for minimum wage in Nevada at a Casino. She's alone as my dad and her are separated. But her job sucks seeing as she hasn't gotten a wage in at least 3 years and they have no intentions of giving raises out to anyone soon, even though they're taking over some little mini casinos as I call them. Meaning they must have some money somewhere to do that, right??!

She was so emotional, but so happy and so was I. It was the least I could do. I would help her every day if I could.

So anyways, I thought I'd start a little trend with the cards, LOL.

I've kind of forgotten what it's like to be pregnant. My tummy keeps rumbling everytime I eat, I've had little headaches nearly every day for the last 4 days. I'm tired and out of breath with every move I make.

But I loook forward to it all. And I don't plan to take any time off from school for this since most of my classes are online, it makes life much easier for me. The only time I plan on taking off is the week I deliver and that's it. Since I can be at home with the baby and I have the greatest hubby. He was such a help when the others were born.

Well, I'm off for now. I have some homework and a quiz to do.

New Blog

This is my new blog. Although I'm not new to blogging, I wanted to create a place where I can blog about anything, particularly in my own life, other than work.

But I'm not sure I like this skin. I'm not into blue. But I love tropical. So I'm still searching for a new one that catches my eye. In the meantime, this is what it looks like.
