Freaky or Not, I Love Friday

Good morning! Let me take a moment to wish you a warm and sincere HAPPY FRIDAY!! Are you with me on that one? Thank you, God, for Fridays. Just when you can't take a minute more of the work week, along comes that carefree day. The birds are chirping, the sun is shining, and life is good. Friday is my BFF. And we have the necklaces to prove it.

We have company coming this weekend- my aunt and grandmother. Living in B'ham has been good for visiting, we see people a lot more than we did when we were in Baton Rouge. It's not uncommon to have someone stop by every other weekend. They happen to be coming when we need a babysitter, too, so all the better! King Pen's office Christmas party is Saturday night. (I plan on draping myself in the Christmas tree skirt, since that's probably the only thing that will fit right now. Hey, at least it's festive.)

Anyway, they'll be here this weekend. Then, next weekend, my sister is coming and she'll watch the kids for me when I go to see the midwife again the following Monday. And that's it. No more weekends to do last minute shopping or wrapping or whatever, because we'll be on the road to my parents house that Friday! Yay! And YIKES. I still have so much to do! There is an underlying feeling of unpreparedness that really has nothing to do with Christmas though, and more to do with the baby. I know when I get back from the holidays, I'm going to freak out a little bit, feeling that I'm running out of time before the wee one arrives. As much as I'm looking forward to Christmas, part of me is ready to get past it so I can concentrate on having this baby. But it'll all work out. One thing at a time. First, Christmas and all the trimmings. I can't wait! Oh the food I plan to eat! Fudge and divinity and peanut butter balls and little sausages and maybe a carrot or two from the veggie trays. Maybe. If they run out of the other stuff.

Well, that's it for this morning. Sorry. Nothing spectacular, I know, but hey, at least I showed up, right? That counts for something, doesn't it? Hello? Anybody?

Oh. They all left.

Nice.
