Go vote! (or don't)

Ok, so I tried to post this yesterday, but the internet killed out, so just note that everything is from yesterday...

Ok, so before anyone gets offended, let me explain the backstory first. Ok, so I left work at 1:30 today since I had a doctor's appointment. Everything was fine, and I actually don't have to go back for almost 5 weeks (Sept 29th), when we get to find out boy or girl! It seems like forever now, but I'm hoping it passes quickly. Especially since my family from St. Simons is coming in October! It's been about a year and a half since I saw them last. Anyway, we had planned on going home after my appointment, but they were running behind, so it was pretty late, and since we still had to vote & David had to be at church at 7, we grabbed something while we were out. Ok, so we go to vote. Well, there are only about 3 cars where we normally vote. No one bothered to tell us that they had moved where we were supposed to vote! So we wound up going aaaaaaalllllll the way to the community center past the middle school (at this point I was really tempted to go home since I had been gone almost 12 hours). We get there, and see a girl we go to church with. We go in together, sign in at our district & vote. I thought there was more to vote for honestly. The only thing we got to vote for was mayor. I thought this was supposed to be for city council and a couple of other things! Anyway, as we were coming out, so was the person we knew. They wouldn't let her vote!! The said that the part of the road (ok, note the PART - other people on her street could vote) wasn't considered city limits. What's that about?! She was trying to do her part and couldn't. I told her I would have made them double check to see if her name was there. So that's my little story. I guess I'll get off my soap box now! Anyway, everything else is going fine (even though I learned that another has been added to the preggo list). Oh, and our hotel in Atlanta is set! We're going to stay at the Hilton for free (come on, how often does that happen) - at least my dad traveling has an upside!

And the toll rises

So as of today, I know at least 11 people who are pregnant all due within about a month of me either way. Seriously people, what happened to 3s? Oh well, at least our child will have lots of friends!

Car trouble, babies, and more...

Ok, so let me set the scene for the car trouble. A couple of weeks ago, my tire warning light (yes, I have a light to warn me if there is something wrong with my tires - it is wonderful) came on. We already knew that I needed tires on the front (my car was out of alignment and it ruined my front tires). So we had them replaced last Monday, especially after we found out there was a screw in one of them. David filled my back tires, and all was well...until Wednesday, when my tire warning light came back on. We were very confused. He checked the tires again, everything was fine. He took them to be checked (I mean, if we didn't know there was a screw in the other one for who knows how long, then something might have been wrong with the back ones, and heaven knows how protective David is, especially now - not that I'm complaining). The tire place said they were fine. So he took it to the Toyota dealership, thinking something may be wrong with the computer that was setting off the light - this happened with the other Camry with the airbag light. The Toyota place quickly figured out what was wrong - the SPARE TIRE was low. How do they even have a sensor in the spare tire??? So for anyone who owns a Toyota, if you have the tire light, just be warned that it may be your spare if the light won't go off and everything else is ok.

Now on to babies. Ok, so babies always seem to come in 3s right? At the present moment, I know 7, yes 7, pregnant people all due within about a month of me. Goodness! There are probably more than 7, I'm probably forgetting someone...as for me, I'm doing fine. Since they moved my room, I haven't had a table, so I've been seeing my kids in the floor, which I quickly learned is NOT comfortable at all! I do have a table as of today, but no chairs (yes, I am the red-headed step-child).

And more - we are house-sitting for my parents through Saturday. My dad was home this week & my mom wanted to go to a convention in Nashville. With all the hotel points my dad gets, they are getting a free hotel at Embassy Suites! Speaking of free hotel - I don't think I posted this yet, but we are going to Cirque du Soleil again in Atlanta on Jan. 3rd!! My dad is going to get us a free room at the Hilton for the 3 days we're there (he has lots of points, we could basically stay wherever we want to, but my mom stayed there a few months ago & said it was really nice - and it's about 2 miles from the arena). It's kind of a combo trip - vacation, birthdays, etc. I wanted to go see Wicked for my birthday, but considering we will have a one month old, I don't think I want to do that afterall. I will go see it someday - it's only been 2 years since I've been wanting to see it. Like I said, I'm doing really well. I go back to the doctor on Tuesday, then not again for a month. It's been an adjustment from going every week because of those cysts! Well, I'm not going to bore you any more. I know this got ridiculously long...maybe someone will make it through it! =)

Yuck!

Well, school is in full swing. It has been super hectic so far! I have moved rooms twice, and I'm in a trailer now & not thrilled about it. I'm more worried about my pre-k kids & not having enough time since I have to go so far. The moving thing has been tough too because...for those who didn't know (which I don't think is anyone, but anyway) I'm pregnant! I'm 11 weeks today actually, and my due date is March 4th. We had decided to wait to tell people for a little while, but some people figured it out before then (you special people know who you are). Really, I can't complain because I feel like I've had it easy so far - not terribly sick, just super tired. And moving rooms twice hasn't helped! Especially since extreme dust triggered asthma & allergies, leaving me miserable since I can't really take anything. Ok, and I know babies tend to come in 3s, but seriously, I think they are in like 23s this time. I know more pregnant people due all within a month of each other that it's not funny! Anyway, I don't have much else other than that. Honestly, I'm just ready for bed - sorry Olympics!
