Ramble, Ramble, Ramble,

I've decided I have to get better organized with my posts. And, considering I have to be at work before too long, this post will hopefully be my last rambly post and all others following will have 1 specific topic. This will likely mean more, smaller posts, but hey, that's fine by me.

In order to make this concise here are the topics:
~The blog in general
~Monday night sewing
~Painted chalkboard
~Baby Hogan at 27 wks and hormones

THE BLOG IN GENERAL
For anyone who checks my blog on a somewhat regular basis you'll notice that the blog has changed almost everyday. I really consider myself "a horse of a different color", in that my mood/preferences/style changes all the time. I just can't committ to one design for very long. I'm not sure I'll every find just the right combination of colors and textures to keep me content. So, if you open it up and it looks totally differnt the next time, don't think you've ended up in the wrong place...I've just gotten bored.

MONDAY NIGHT SEWING
Since the hubs plays golf with the guys every Monday night now I've decided to make it my sewing night...after the kids go to bed, of course. My projects have to be quick and painless because I have to finish them in the same night or they'll never get done. It is beginning to seem like Tuesday's at work are now "here is what I made last night" days. So far my creations have only be 2 scarves and some flowers, but I'm excited to keep it all up.

Here is this weeks creation:

PAINTED CHALKBOARD
Last weekend we had committed to painting our chalkboard wall downstairs. We've had a little chalkboard painted on a wall for a while now and I saw this pic of a whole wall painted like a chalkbaord and new the kids would love it. It went pretty smoothly, except the hubs convinced me that we only needed to tackle the one wall for now. So now, the chalkboard wall is complete but we still need to paint the other 3 walls of the room.

The finished product...or part of it

It should also be noted that I took this pic all by myself. I just set the timer on the camera and hoped it turned out alright...not too bad.


BABY HOGAN AT 27 WKS AND HORMONES
As you can see in the pic above, Baby Hogan and I are growing right along...as are the hormones. Hogan is kicking more and more and harder and harder. It's a lot of fun to anticipate his arrival and how are family will change. It's also a little crazy to think about!

I started my birthing class, that I was so excited about...more on this in a separate post.

Now for the hormones. I feel as though I've been handling everything quite well, but when something hits me wrong I become sour quickly. Let's just say that 1 little statement, that wasn't meant the way I took it, resulted in me in bed by 9pm...royally crabby! All is well again today though, that's all that matters.

So that's enough for now. I'll see about adding more posts on a more regular basis. Perhaps I'll even get another one up tonigh.
