wrapping up the week

Busy week around here.    

Lonnie was on call all weekend but it wasn't a terrible one.  They are never "good" but as long as he doesn't have to go back in multiple times I count it as a win.  We had one of his friends come over on Saturday afternoon to help us move a few larger items in the house and to bring stuff down from the attic.  I pretty much won't let Lonnie lift a thing but it is hard for him not to help.  Man thing I guess.  

He moved the TV's out of the armoire's we are selling and took a couple of large things up to the attic.  The conversion kit for the cribs, the extra leaves for my dining room table, stuff like that.  We had about 5 large bags of baby items he brought down from the attic.  Some of it is to sell and some I need to find a place for in the new baby room.

Blakely was ready to call the Hogs that day.  We lost but we did play the number 1 team.  

That's right.  I actually have a baby room now!  On Sunday, my friend Jenny had her two friends come pick up the king bedroom set she bought from me.  I did not know this guy that was going to move her stuff but I sent him a message on FB earlier in the week to ask him if was interested in moving some stuff around for me and he said yes.  So he moved her furniture out and then moved the baby furniture from Blakely's room into the baby room.  He also moved a few other items up to the garage for the sale we are going to have as soon as winter gets the hell out.  And then I made them move the treadmill.  What a ginorm pain that was.  I actually felt bad because I knew he was wishing he hadn't said yes! 

Lonnie was able to be here while they were here and seriously so thankful for that.  I can't walk up and down our stairs 20 times so he was able to direct them and do that.  Also, Jenny brought her mom and Sarah came over to help also.  It had been raining all morning so I wasn't sure they were going to show up so I didn't take the bedding of the beds.  (They had to move the downstairs mattress upstairs and then the upstairs mattress to the garage).  Well all the sudden they were here so Sarah helped me undress the beds and wash the sheets.  Then Jenny, Virg and Sarah proceeded to do all the things.  They wouldn't let me get up at all.  They vacuumed once the furniture was moved and told them exactly where I wanted things to go.  And they also brought me cookies.  Totally the best.  

After all that moving we were all exhausted.  Lonnie has gotten into the habit of using me as a pillow on the couch.  Usually he has the couch to himself but since being pregnant I have invaded his space.  So this is the compromise.  I'm okay with it.  :)

It is so nice to have Blakely's room mostly cleaned out.  All that is left in there is the queen bed that she sleeps on but will be moved to the baby room once her furniture comes in.  And her nightstands that I need to paint to match the babies room.  And a few toys on the floor that I wanted out of the living room.  The babies room just needs another crib (more on that later) and the bed moved in.  Ahhh.  It feels so good.  

On Monday I had the carpets cleaned in both of those rooms.  Then Tuesday Jennifer (organizer) came over so we could start on the babies closet organization.  So my super cleaned out nursery was turned into a war zone while we completely emptied out the closet. Their closet is really huge.  Part of it is going to have to be for storage of boxes that are not theirs.  But I am only willing to give up a certain amount of space in there and it has to be up on the top shelf.  So we are working on that.  I spent all day Monday going through Blakely's baby clothes.  I thought I had been good about getting rid of stuff as she outgrew it buuuuuut no.  There were like 5 tubs of newborn to 18 month stuff.  So I went back through it because if I kept it all then baby brother would have no space in the closet.  We organized the cloth diapers, baby blankets, toys, etc.  There is just so much.  We aren't done yet but will be next week.  

Wednesday I went and got my hair cut and highlighted for the first time in 8 months.  I HATE going this long but I just haven't made an appointment.  I was supposed to go when I was about 5 weeks pregnant but had to cancel last minute for a lab appointment in Little Rock.  I am really feeling like chopping it all off but I know I will never do it.  Ha!  My next appointment is when I will be like 36 weeks pregnant.  I told her I don't think I will be able to sit there for 3 hours then.  It was tough this time!

Yesterday was ANOTHER snow day.  It was pretty but, like usual, we couldn't leave the house.  Blakely went out to play the minute she got upstairs and saw all the snow.  She played for maybe an hour and then I made breakfast.  This child is having a growth spurt or something because she is eating SO MUCH.  She ate 3 big pancakes, 3 slices of bacon, a banana and half a carton of blueberries.  The rest of the day we just played and cleaned the house a bit.  

Then last night she threw up all night long.  Seriously.  What is up with that?  She did the same thing about 2 weeks ago.  Today she seems a little sickly and her fever is 99.8 but no puking since about 5 this morning.  I had big plans to take her to my aunt's house so I could gather all of our tax stuff up for the accountant.  I don't think that is going to happen.  So I guess we will hang out on the couch and watch movies.  I am not complaining about that but I really need to get some stuff done.  Buuuut I've had about 2 hours of sleep so I am thinking couch sounds pretty good.  

Today is Lonnie's last day of work for a week and we have a lot planned while he is off.  I am ready for him to be home and it isn't even 8:00.  At least we aren't supposed to get more snow.  It is March after all!  Happy weekend!   I am going to scrub puke out of sheets, pillow and peeps.  Wish me luck!  

so random

Feeling a little blah today.  A few things from my neck of the woods.  

Winter decided to finally show up.  Now I am not complaining about the snow (I see you Shannon) or the ice even.  But Blakely is SO VERY OVER IT.  She asked me this morning if she got to go to school today.  And when I told her no she was a wee bit pissed.  Our entire town shut down today just because there was snow in the forecast and not a drop had even fallen.  This is the third day this week and it was shut down 2 days last week.  So we are a bit tired of being in the house and I have run out of movie ideas for my girl.  Right now she is watching Toy Story for the second time this week.  And it is snowing...so there is that.  She is for sure going to want to go play in it and I am for sure NOT.  Last week when we just had ice I let her play in the from yard while I sat right inside the front door watching her.  She kept asking to go sledding and I told her I couldn't.  I felt bad because she wanted to play with other kids so bad but there was no one to play with.  Bless her heart.  She looks super adorable though!  

Sidenote....I am so buying a legit snowsuit next year.  This whole searching high and low for snow/ice appropriate clothing is insane.  Nothing is waterproof so it all gets wet and then she still wants to be out so I have to find more stuff while the other stuff dries.  I don't care if she wears it once.  Buying it!  

Lonnie doesn't get to be "snowed in".  Obviously he has to go to work no matter what.  Yesterday he drove in on a sheet of ice but he made it.  Today he will be driving home in the snow.  He took my 4 wheel drive so I am not worried I would just rather him be here.  AND AT LEAST HE ISN'T ON CALL OMG.  

I am feeling so much better than I have been the last 2 weeks.  I really didn't even know how awful I felt until I started feeling better.  I think I had been working on that bladder infection for about 2 weeks.  I knew I was having low pelvic pain but I just figured...twin pregnancy.  Looking back I think it was bladder spasms all along.  That's not to say I am just bounding around with tons of energy and no pain or anything.  I still have to sit down as much as possible and by then end of the day my back hurts and my tummy is super tight.  I had my 25 weeks appt yesterday and all is looking great.  I go back in 2 weeks for my glucose test and a growth ultrasound.  I had a few contractions last night but once I got comfortable on the couch I was fine.  I didn't move the rest of the night.  

Speaking of that I need to just let y'all know how great my husband is being.  I mean seriously.  He works all day long and then when he comes home he does everything for Blakely.  Makes her dinner, gets her cleaned up, plays with/entertains her, bathes her, brushes her teeth and puts her to bed.  All so I can rest.  I try to sometimes help with some of those things...like have dinner ready or something...but generally he does it all.  He also does every thing for me.  Makes my dinner, gets me refills of water, etc.  I know he is worn out and I am trying to let him know how much I appreciate everything he is doing.  Kind of makes me teary thinking about it.  He is the best.  

Juanet didn't come to clean this week (eff this weather) so I am slowly trying to get the laundry and dishes put away today.  It is slow going.  It is ridic how much I depend on her!  

We were supposed to move out the king bedroom set last weekend but my friend got stuck in Kentucky because of the snow.  So we are going to do it this weekend.  Then I will have an actual baby room and can start going through baby clothes.  That sounds super fun!  I just got an email that her furniture is on backorder until mid March.  So she will be living without a dresser for a while but we will make it work!  

Also I need to just stay off E.tsy.  I mean seriously with the adorable twin baby clothes.  

I think that is all the randomness from here.  I am off to fold another load of laundry and eat more pasta.  Or maybe more Oreos.  I haven't decided.  ;)

outdoor weekend

We had such a great weekend.  The weather took a big turn towards fall and so we decided to get out and enjoy it.  

On Friday it rained all day long.  Not a storm but just that lazy all day light rain with no thunder or lightening.  You know, the perfect napping weather.  When we all woke up from those wonderful naps we decided to take a little walk in the rain.  I got this adorable rain coat with matching rain boots from Zu.lily a few months ago.  You've probably seen the rain boots in a few of my pictures because B loves to wear them in the house.  I told her we could finally wear them outside because it was actually raining.  She got so excited.  Then I asked her if I could take her picture.  This is the pose I got...

She's pretty cute if you ask me!  Anyway, we walked around the neighborhood picking up acorns and stomping in puddles.  She thought it was super fun but her favorite part was swinging in the rain, as you can tell from the picture.  It took me a loooong time to get her to come inside.

When Blakely went to bed Friday night Lonnie and I started talking about going camping.  We talked about weekends he was off and tried to plan.  Well finally we said lets just go tomorrow!  So we did!  

It was a totally a last minute decision.  When B woke up the Saturday morning I packed up all the things we would need for an overnight stay.  We gave her an early nap and then left to find the perfect spot to camp.  

We live on a lake but there are a few other lakes near us.  Lake Oua.chita is very close to us (like a 15 minute drive).  It is much bigger than the lake that we live on and no homes are allowed to be built near this lake.  Because of this, it is an extremely clean lake and just a gorgeous piece of nature.  There are many islands and Lonnie and I have camped on an island with our boat before.  We've never taken B camping because we weren't sure how she would do.  I mean a baby/toddler sleeping in a tent?  Sounded like a recipe for disaster to me.  

But Saturday was the most beautiful day.  Sunny and 75.  We wanted to get out there and have wide open spaces for her to run around and just enjoy being outside.  So we did and it could not have been a better idea.  I was proud of Lonnie and I for doing something so last minute.  Since having Blakely we have become such planners.  Everything is always completely planned out and we never just do something on a whim.  But this?  This was definitely on a whim.  

On our drive into the campsite Blakely spotted a playground so we stopped there so she could play for a little while.  

Then we picked out a PERFECT spot, unloaded the car and set up our tent.  

We walked around the lake and just let her explore her surroundings.  We picked up rocks and threw them in the water.  She liked it best when Lonnie picked her up (he isn't supposed to but try telling him that) so she could throw it from up high and make a bigger splash.  She also like "washing" her hands in the water.  Ignore the plumber's crack in the picture.  These pants are from last year and they still fall off with panties on...

Then we gathered a bunch of sticks and helped daddy build a fire.  I think this was her favorite part!

Once the fire was going we roasted hot dogs and then marshmallows.

By the time it was dark our girl was super sleepy.  I took her in the tent and laid down with her (and Min.nie, of course) until she fell asleep.  It took all of 10 minutes.  Then Lonnie and I stayed up and chatted by the fire for a few hours.  

Y'all.  It was so nice.  Just being outside all day with my loves enjoying nature.  I could not have asked for a better weekend!  And because I just can't help myself I have to post this picture.  You know you're the mommy of a toddler when.....

HAPPY MONDAY!

Whirlwind Weekend

Whew.  What a weekend around here.  I am exhausted!

I guess technically the weekend started on Thursday night.  Hello football!  B even wore her football jammers...

B and I spent all of Friday playing.  She wanted to go outside so bad so I finally sucked it up and went out in the blazing heat.  She looks like she is ready for kindergarten here....

Saturday was the Razo.rback game.  B dressed up in her gear and I was trying to teach her to call the hogs.  She has the Wooooooooo part down and she yells "RAY-BACKS" at the right time.  Might be the cutest thing I've ever seen.  Will get it on video soon.  The best part? This dress was from last fall but fits because of no cloth diaper booty.  Panties for the win!  I am now pulling out all of her clothes from last fall because I think most of the stuff will still fit now.  

My mother in law also came on Saturday and brought C and S.  She had them for the weekend so she brought them down to play with B.  Blakely was beyond excited for one big reason.  Collier built her a fort within the first 3 minutes of being here.  She loved it and played in it the whole day.  They all stayed the night and had a big time.  

Cousins!

My mom and my aunt Jenni's birthday was on Sunday so we (me, them and all their friends!) went to eat on Saturday night.  I meant to take my good camera to get some pictures of them but I forgot.  My house was a crazy place and I tried to sneak out of there and ended up leaving it on the counter.  Boo.  Anyway, it was a good time.  We went to Jenni's house after and chatted and gave them their presents.  I got them both a photo album full of pictures of Blakely from 18 months until now.  I wrote out beside most of the pictures a little tidbit about where we were or just something funny about the picture.  I think they liked it ;)

Sunday was a big day mostly because it was FOOTBALL!  It was my first experience with my new N.FL Su.nday Ti.cket.  Needless to say I am in love with it...  Blakely went to my mom's house and Jenni and my Grand went over to spend the day with Blake.  They have a big time.  Blakely yells DAN-DI, GIGI, GEE-MAMA the whole way over.  

Sunday afternoon Lonnie and I had softball practice.  Have I mentioned we joined a co-ed league?  I can't remember.  Anyway, practice.  At 430 in the afternoon.  In the 100 degree heat.  Let me tell you something...that is not awesome.  And then it lasted for 3 hours!  I had been loading up on water for 2 days knowing it was going to be so hot.  It was good and I am so glad we joined because it is going to be really fun when it cools off a bit.  But I don't think I can do another one of those practices.  I felt fine after practice, just exhausted and hot, but on the drive home I started getting nauseated.  Got home and proceeded to puke for 5 minutes.  Then I was better!  Crazy.  Here's to cooler weather soon.  

Oh and I can barely move today.  Ouch.  A good ouch but still...  I haven't played softball in 13 years and my body definitely is reminding me of that today!  I am looking forward to getting back into it though.  There is a girl on our team that has a little girl Blakely's age.  I see a lot of playing in the dirt together in their future.  And it is something fun that Lonnie and I can do together.  I can't wait!  

Did you do anything fun this weekend?  

Monday ramblings...

Today, you get a bunch of randomness...

• We are taking Blakely to the zoo tomorrow.  Weather permitting.  I am super excited about this.  The zoo is about an hour away from us and it isn't huge but I think Blakely is going to love seeing the animals.  We have a few other things we are doing in Little Rock so it should be a full day.  
• One of the things we are going to do is look at some swing sets.  I have been researching like crazy and I think we are close to a decision.  I want to see them in person and talk to someone about details before buying.  Thank you for sharing your thoughts on my post about this topic.  I'll be sure to pass along all of my research to you guys.  :)
• I am O-VER the weather lately.  We have been having terrible storms for a week.  We spent a good part of last Thursday in the closet downstairs due to multiple tornadoes.  We also hung out in the closet a lot of Saturday.  I am terrified of tornadoes but thankfully our house is pretty safe so that makes me feel better.  The back side of the bottom level of our house is built into a hill.  I took a new sticker book into the closet and I could barely get the child to come OUT of the closet because of that.  

• Since the weather is nice today we are going on the boat as soon as B wakes up from her nap.  I don't think people really understand how hard it is to entertain a toddler, who is obsessed with being outside, when it rains for a week straight.  It isn't easy to avoid the constant whines of OUTSIDE OUTSIDE OUTSIDE MOM-MEEEE.  

MIL gave B her old iPhone.  I wasn't too sure about this at first.  Then it rained for a week.  Mother in laws for the win.  

We played Blakely in a box.  

We strongly encouraged GranDi to come over and help with the entertaining of the toddler.  She taught B how to color.  

A lot of the time she sat staring out at the rain with her little people.  :(

• On Friday the rain let up in the afternoon so I immediately took this child outside to play.  She wanted her water table (which is BUH BUH TUH BUH in Blakely talk).  She splashed all around for a long time.  I took my eyes off of her for like 7 seconds and then glanced over and saw this.  

I mean.  She is a climber.  My first reaction was to get her down but she was so dang cute I just couldn't.  She climbed in and out of there probably 50 times.  I took a video that is hilarious.  She is standing there and dancing and smiling and all of the sudden she starts peeing.  She looks down and is a bit confused but then just goes right back to splashing.  Oh me.  I figure there is nothing wrong with a little pee :)  I would post the video but she's nakey...so ya know.  

• Have I mentioned that she hates the bath now?  All started about 2 weeks ago.  Bath time means screaming toddler being held down by one parent while other parent frantically washes toddler.  It really isn't fun for all involved.  I am hoping it is just a stage that passes VERY soon.  
• Are any of you watching the NBA games?  Game 7 of the Heat/Pacers is tonight.  GO LEBRON.  

That is all I have for today.  Happy Monday!  

Pics of the week 5 and Blog Award

First of all I want to apologize for being a bit absent from the blog world this week.  My internet has been in and out because of the storms.  It has taken me three days to get this post up!  I have been reading all your blogs from my phone but it wouldn't let me comment from my phone...very frustrating!  

I did not take the first two pictures.  If I would have seen this I am pretty sure I would have had a small heart attack or passed out.  This was the first tornado that hit us Monday afternoon.  This one was about 5 miles from my house.

This was the second and larger, more devastating tornado that hit us.  This one hit just a mile or two away from me.  Ummmm.....scary????  I just can't believe all of the devastation that has occurred across the southern states because of these tornadoes.  It just blows my mind.  I am so thankful that we were unharmed because there were so many people that were not as lucky.  It just breaks my heart.  

The only damage we had at our house from the storms was that our dock broke away and floated off just a few feet.  It would have sailed off down the lake but we had it tied up to a tree.  Our neighbors had their dock tied to a tree as well and the current was so strong that it pulled the tree down.  And, no, we would have never thought to tie up our dock but we learned the hard way.  Two years, ago on Christmas Eve we woke up and our dock was no where to be found.  It had floated off down the lake and cost us a frickin' fortune to get them to bring it back!  So here is our dock with our first baby in it which we can't get to...  

This is the walkway that had detached and was on the bottom of the lake now.  It could have been much worse for sure!

During the night the water came up all the way over our seawall and into our yard.  This is a picture of all the fish that got trapped behind the seawall when the water went back down.  There were probably 50 fish like this just lining our seawall.  It did not smell good....

A couple of days after the storm it was finally a pretty day.  We decided to try to take the jeep for a ride.  We had to charge the battery and that is why the hood is up.  Lonnie is putting on our new antique license plate that you may remember me talking about here.  Jeepin' is what we call it here in the south :)

This is sweet Darwin hiding during the storms.  All you can see is his nose!  

This picture probably won't mean much to anyone that doesn't know this little dog.  She is my Grand's dog and her name is Katie.  She weighs 5 pounds and is mean as hell.  Oh not to Grand....just everyone else.  She will snap at you if you try to pet her and it will scare the crap out of you even though she is tiny.  Lonnie was determined for her to like him.  On Easter this is what I found.....they were snuggling...although he does look a little nervous, doesn't he?

I couldn't resist adding this picture.  Lonnie needed to fix the sprinkler intake pump and it is in the lake.  It is shallow but he was still going to have to get wet above his ankles.  So, I had the bright idea that he should wear my rain boots!  Doesn't he look cute?  His feet were so smashed in there...it looked very uncomfortable....

Ok and now on to the award!  Bridget from Our Lost Stork gave me this wonderful award.  

I am so happy that I found her blog because we are very close to each other in our pregnancies (along with a few others!).  No one in my real life is pregnant so it is nice to be able to share things and see what everyone else feels like!  Thanks again, Bridget!

So, here's how it works:

1. Winners grab the image and put it in your blog.
2. Link back to the person who gave you it.
3. Tell 10 things about yourself
4. Award 15 recently discovered bloggers.
5. Contact the bloggers you have awarded to let them know they have won.

Ok so here are 10 random things about myself.

1. I really love flowers and plants but I always end up killing them....
2. When I was a senior in high school my fast pitch softball team won state...we were badass...
3. I love candles....Bath and Body Works has some awesome ones but I only buy them when they are on sale because they are so expensive!
4. I wear contacts and can't see crap if I don't have them in.  
5. I love roller coasters and I can't wait to ride them with my kids.  (my husband hates them!)
6. On my first date with my husband I got locked in the bathroom and couldn't get out.  I about had a panic attack wondering what the heck he was thinking about me being in the bathroom so long.  Turns out you just had to turn the handle upward instead of downward.....I have been terrified of getting locked in a public bathroom since then.
7. I enjoy reading about history and wish I did it more.  I wanted to be a history major but all I could really do with that is teach and that was not for me.
8. I watched the Royal Wedding and cried....whole post about that coming up :)
9. I love mindless reality TV....Teen mom, Rock of Love, 16 and Pregnant, Jersey Shore, etc.  It is awful and I am not proud of it.
10. I have a younger brother!

Rain Rain Go Away

I swear it has been raining for weeks.  Seriously...

It is making me depressed....

We have had multiple severe thunderstorms and tornado warnings in the past week.  I really do not like tornadoes.  When we are under a watch I sit glued to the TV.  A couple of days ago I even prepared the closet downstairs for us if we needed it.  I put a bunch of pillows down there, some blankets, and my computer.  I came very close to taking all of my photo albums down there too.  Yes, I realize that this is a little overboard but I just get a little freaky during storms.  Pretty sure pregnancy makes this worse...


I have always been scared of storms.  I think this dates back to when I was in 2nd grade.  A little story for y'all....


Me and my best friend at the time, Sarah, were staying the night at a condo on the lake with her mom, her sister, and her sisters' friends.  It was her older sister's birthday party and we were just tagging along.  We were 7.  It was storming outside but no one thought anything of it.  All of the sudden around midnight there was a crazy pounding at the door to the condo followed by a total freak out by two 7 year-olds and a ton of teenage girls.  It was the cops and they were there to evacuate because it was flooding.  We gathered all of our important stuff and were led out by the cops.  Little did we know but it had already flooded the entire first floor.  I had to swim with the cop to the car because the water was already chest high on me.  I don't even remember where they took us...all I remember was that it had one whole wall that was windows.  I just sat there watching the lightening and the trees swaying...totally freaking out.  


My parents could not get to me so they had one of their friends who lived close come pick me up...BY BOAT!!  


Needless to say, I was traumatized.  I have been scared of storms ever since.


So I am ready for the April showers to be over!!!!!


In other news, my honey is off this week and we are going to start cleaning out the rooms and closets downstairs.  This makes me happy....this stresses him out.  I am trying to make it fun for him.  I told him we can listen to music and he can drink as much scotch or wine that he wants.  That really didn't help.  He just doesn't like to purge things.  I, on the other hand, LOVE getting rid of things.  I would do it myself but he won't let me because he thinks that I will just throw everything away.  I just might!


I told him that he can do absolutely nothing this weekend if he will give me two full days next week of purging and organizing.  He keeps trying to come up with things that he has to do.  Yeah, that isn't going to work.  Oh, and get this.  He told me that all the men that he has talked to tell him to just put off the cleaning and organizing because later on I will start nesting and do it all myself anyway.  I told him to have those guys call me and I will set them strait ;)


So here is to a lazy weekend of watching movies and eating bad food.  Oh the things I have to do to get him to help me organize!

Pics of the week 2

Well, a lot of my pictures this week are related in some way to food.  I think it is because my appetite is back and food sounds awesome!

I have gotten food from The Purple Cow to go a couple of times this week.  They have a tuna melt that I like and a good rueben.  But mostly they have amazing malts.  I may have had a few one this week.

I was getting my oil changed and while I was waiting I got crazy thirsty.  I got a water out of the vending machine and this is what pops out.  Really?  No label?  Is this safe to drink with no label?  I was too thirsty to even think about it....I mean look how frosty and cold it looks!

This is an eggo waffle....with peanut butter....covered in syrup.....it is wonderful....don't judge....

I stayed the night with my mom Saturday night while Hubby was out of town.  The next day when I went to go get in my car there was a bird (a robin) flying into my mirror continuously.  I mean like a thousand times.  The bird couldn't be bothered to crap on the driveway....just on my black car....  The craziest part was there was a chickadee doing the same thing on the other mirror!  Birds have small brains....

So remember how I was talking about spring and how excited I was that it was here?  Well I guess winter got jealous because he is back this week and it is COLD!  Yesterday I was sitting here watching basketball and I heard it thunder a few times. Then all of the sudden it was this huge HAIL storm.  I mean it was loud!  This is my deck.....Normally you can see the lake but it was hailing so hard you can't even see it.  

I really enjoyed this weekend.  I really didn't do a thing.  I spent some time with my mom and we watched college basketball.  I don't know if any of you girls watch basketball but it is March Madness and the games have been really good.  I did wake up on Sunday and couldn't turn my head to the right or look up.  I have some sort of muscle spasm or something.  I have been spending a lot of time on the heating pad and it is getting better.  Basically I have been super lazy for the past 3 days.  

I hope everyone had a great Monday!
