baby update

so my last update a few weeks ago was incorrect I misread the text message niece was at point that is .6 cm so not so close to birth, whatta expect the phone screen is small! Jump ahead to now and about 33-34 weeks she went off bed rest last Friday, finished up with steroids over the weekend then stopped the anti-contraction medication on Thursday. She has been having some contractions and is dilated to 2cm so it does indeed look like we will have a new baby in the family this weekend!
Of course we are hoping that active labor does not start during the UT game or she might wind up delivering the baby on Alcoa highway....
UPDATE 12:30-contractions are every 20 minutes or so!

so much for baseball season

this was next punishment on the chopping block
3rd grade may very well kill me

mom of the year

yeah still not me...
C recently complained he was having trouble seeing the board so I made an appointment with the optometrist for both of us, I was due for my annual anyway. Honestly I had considered it might be a bit of subterfuge on his part as he seems to be having trouble with the 3rd grade transition(deserving of it's own blog one of these days). But good grief the minute I saw him trying to read the eye chart poor kid yes he indeed is in need of glasses! They should be here in a week or so pictures to follow.
I of course needed a stronger prescription on my contacts, wonder how Oscar would fair as a seeing eye pooch?

feeling left out

I might be the only blogger in K-town to have not blogged about the gas gouging going on here in tow...oops not any longer.
Hot on the heels on the sky is falling method of pricing can we expect the same at the grocery stores when Mr Howell calls for a flake or two of snow?
