I'm tired

I've been lacking in the energy department this week. One minute I'm feeling great and the next I just want to sleep, wherever I am...the car, my office, at home. I blame it on the fact that I'm growing a human inside me, see...

But in all reality it is likely due to not sleeping well, because of said human growing inside me, poor diet and lack of exercise, see...
Yep, that's a big bag of M&M's that I nearly finished last night
And this is the huge box of Milk Duds that I ate today at work...I have a problem.

I truly feel that if I had not had the issues at the beginning of this pregnancy I would have been able to keep up my running/working out routine. Instead, I had to take it easy for a few weeks and then lost all motivation. I know women do it, but I feel really weird trying to run with a pregnant belly. Sure, there are other things I would do for exercise but, ehh, I'll just lounge around instead. Perhaps once the weather finally cools down I'll feel like doing more.

Speaking of doing more, as soon as my fabric arrives I will be making curtains! Here is 1 yard of the fabric hanging up for "make sure I like it" purposes.

I think this fabric is going to add the fun punch of color that my house has been lacking. I'm very excited to get the whole house transformed to meet our needs and personalities...we're a pretty vibrant bunch.

On another note, you'll notice this post is simply all over the place with topics, I feel more and more that I am up to the challenge of natural childbirth. Just the other day I bought "The Complete Idiot's Guide to Natural Childbirth". How can I go wrong with a title like that?! The more I read the more excited and up to the challenge I feel I am. I guess it must just be a phase I am in. Last year was my first half marathon, followed by my second half marathon, a 5K run/8 mile bike race, a sprint triathlon, and what was supposed to be my first full marathon. I feel the urge to challenge myself these days...and since it can't be by a physical competition I guess I'll settle for hours of unmedicated labor followed by pushing a small watermelon out of...well, you know.

To save you time reading more random ramblings here are the random thoughts I had today:

• Doesn't it suck to have a song you love to belt out in the car but it isn't in the right pitch range for you? By the time the song is over my throat and neck hurt from straining to hit some of those notes. And boy do I sound awesome!!! ha ha ha
• Lawn mowers, although they have motors, are still not cars. Stop driving them on the road as if they were.
• Please don't interrupt a pregnant lady from her lunch for a mundane question that you could figure out on your own. We don't like that.
• The older I get, the more bold I am and the shorter my fuse gets. I've always considered myself somewhat timid in some environments, but what I'm finding is that if I am challenged in that environment there is no timidness to be found. Its funny how you learn so much about yourself as you age.

I'm sure there were more thoughts but I can't remember them now. I'll try to right them down from now on and maybe I'll have more tomorrow.
