Just a note...

I've had some people express concern that I am such a depressed and negative thinker, always on the brink of some crisis or another based upon my blog posts.  To you I would like to say;  generally the only time I am motivated to write a blog is when I'm really annoyed about something.  Thus my posts may seem overwhelmingly negative.  However, you should note how infrequently I update and that should give you some peace as to my state of mind. ;)  So there.

Updates with pics.

So I suck at updating I know.  I've decided to apply for both Art History and Library Science.  I'm only going to take two courses this fall; Art History Survey to 1500 (or is it 1800?) and one of the core LS classes....Library Professions maybe?  I can't remember.  They are both online was the point.  I've discovered that only a few of the art history classes are actually online and I'm not going to be in a position to attend a steady stream of actual on campus classes this fall with a new baby.  This way I get one of each and can make a decision about one or the other if I need too.  This is of course all assuming we magically come up with money to pay for these....if they were both graduate level classes then it would count as attending half time which means I would qualify for financial aid, but since one is an undergraduate course I don't think I'll qualify for anything, so we'll see how that goes.  Anyway, really this was for posting my belly shots since some of you don't have facebook accounts to see where I posted them there.  So here you go:
12wks 
16wks


20wks 
24wks



 Yeah, I know, it would help if they were all cropped the same or shot from the same distance, but you get the idea...and yes I did dye my hair brown in the last one.  At least it's starting to grow out some, hopefully by the time the baby comes it will look normal again.  I haven't been having too hard a time with this pregnancy until the past week or two when it seems I all of a sudden 'feel' pregnant.  Suddenly my stomach is huge, I'm awkward, I can't bend over without cutting off circulation to my head, and as of the past two days I can no longer easily roll over in bed or walk without cringing in pain for the first few minutes after a long 'rest'.  Bah.  I've also been in a bad mood lately...the two may be related.  I hate being pregnant, I hate taking care of my kids, I hate being home, I hate having to go somewhere, I hate how incredibly messy my house is and I hate cleaning it.  I hate my church calling, I hate my books, I hate my yoga class, I hate exercising in general and I'm not particularly looking forward to the next fifteen weeks, not to mention the new level of chaos that will be achieved by adding one more kid to the mix.  I just want to relax and hang out with my husband (and no kids).  I want to sleep in and stay up late without worrying about someone bugging me in the night or morning.  I want to go places and see interesting things, but I also want to laze about the house all day doing absolutely nothing.  I want to look fabulous but I don't want to be bothered getting ready for the day.  So I guess I'm in a pregnancy funk or something...or I'm in serious need of a baby-free vacation.  Bah.  So I'm tons of fun to be around right now I'm sure. :)  How are you doing?
