This Too Shall Pass

As of today I am 32 weeks pregnant.  I feel like it is more like 38 weeks.  Not to complain, but I am tired, uncomfortable, at times in pain, and just over it.  I should probably talk about how wonderful pregnancy is, but not today.  Today I get to whine. 

My morning started when I was wide awake just after 5:00.  I laid in bed and finally rolled out just after 6:00.  I hate waking up before my alarm, it's just not right.  Most mornings John makes breakfast for me.  For the past couple months it has been scrambled eggs on an english muffin.  So good, and he is so much better at making it!  Today for some stupid reason I did it myself.  Or atleast tried to.  Breakfast = fail miserably.  I toasted my english muffin and cooked my egg, the last egg in the fridge.  Can you see where this is going? 

The entire egg hit the floor and I cussed, loudly.  John came to check on me and I lost it.  Big time.  The tears came from nowhere and wouldn't stop.  Here it is 6:20 AM and I am standing in the kitchen crying like a crazy lady all over a damn egg.  He couldn't understand why I was so upset.  I tried to explain to him that I was hungry and tired and I couldn't even get the words out. 

I ate a plain english muffing and went to school in a bad mood and with horribly puffy eyes.   To top it all off I have not been able to get on any of my favorite websites at school because of new security crap.  No pinterest, no blog reading, no fun. 

How did the rest of my day go?  I was able to share my morning story with a few people without crying and I hit Walmart on the way home.  Candy solves all the worlds' problems, right?

Look What I Learned!

State Basketball

 I am horribly behind blogging, so for tonight, you get state basketball.  John had the honor of being selected to ref at the 2A State Tournament in Manhattan.  There is just something exciting about him reffing on the same floor we watch our beloved Wildcats play on.  He reffed a semi-final game on Friday night, and then the girls championship game on Saturday.  When you break it all down it really is pretty amazing.  There are over 2000 registered officials in the state of Kansas.  Of those, 168 are invited to ref at the various state sites.  84 are selected to work the first two days and 84 the last two.  A total of 42 have the privilege of working championship games (7 sites, 3 for the girls final and 3 for the boys final).  John was of the 21 out of 2000+ that worked a girls final.  Makes for one proud wife. 

Bramlage is not an easy place to get good pictures.  I was sitting pretty close, but the lighting was not great. 

Lilly stayed Thursday and Friday nights in Great Bend and then joined me for the final games.  I had to have a pic of the two of them outside the Wildcat Men's locker room. 

Just a Bit of Decorating

 Since moving this summer, I have not put up any of my decorations.  I finally got around to just a few pictures.  This was my attempt at at a Gallery Wall.  It all looks a little crooked and not evenly spaced in the picture, but when you stand back and look at it, it looks a lot better  It isn't done yet, but I planned to wait until the baby is here and add some pictures then.

 Lilly also got started on some artwork for her new room.  I love art made out of hand prints and foot prints. This was much harder than I expected!

 Lilly also did an original painting for her wall.  I was really impressed by how much time she put into this!  Her new room isn't done, but we are getting close.  More pics when we get there!

Happy Valentine's Day

I just wanted to share some pictures of our super eventful Valentine's Day.  The first three pictures are of the Strawberry White Chocolate Cake Balls that Lilly and I made for her daycare treats.  And yes, they were so good they deserved three pictures!  I may even post a tutorial on how to make them!

 These "bear hugs," were Lilly's Valentine's for her friends

 And last but not least, Lilly's gifts from mommy and daddy.  I got her the giraffe several days ago and John bought her the Willy the Wildcat Sock Monkey from the game last night.  Speaking of the game, we all packed up and headed to Manhattan for the KSU/KU game.  This kid was wiped out today, but did surprisingly well considering we didn't get home until 11:30!  Such a trooper!

Buddies

How cute are they!  Lilly an Avery had a great time playing together last weekend. Lilly did her best to keep up with Avery and his super quick little boy pace, and Avery did his best to guard his toys from the little bossy pants who thinks everything is hers! 

Baby Savannah

My sister Abby had her baby late last week and we made a quick, but wonderful, trip to Kansas City to visit.  Lilly was so excited.  I am not sure which was more fun for her, the baby or all of her little tiny clothes!
