Yesterday wasn’t my favorite day. There was drama between two of my Mia Maids and their parents, and I somehow got stuck in the middle. People are sometimes offended easily, and it’s as if they want a reason to feel victimized. I am just grateful that I grew up with a mother that never held grudges or was never easily offended, or ever offended at all as far as I can remember, and who taught me to be quick to forgive. Not that I am perfect, but there isn’t anyone in the world that I hate. And holding a grudge is hard to do. I learned that with the ex and other people that have deeply hurt me in my life. It’s just easier to forgive them and not give my happiness away to them.
Anyway, after church I made chili and cornbread to take to my parents for my mom’s birthday dinner. Becca made a delicious strawberry cake with a strawberry cream cheese filling and a sweetened whipped cream frosting. The chili turned out delicious and the cake was scrumptious, so it was a night of good eating. It typically is on Sundays. We had a good time hanging out with my family, and the boys got to play with Sadie again and hang out with Grandpa. We sang to my mom, and of course the kids had to have turns blowing out the candles.
This is me yesterday, 32 weeks and 2 days. But I was having a good hair day, so a picture was a must. Once in a while I feel like I have a pretty day, and I need it to be captured for the days that I feel frumpy. I hope I don’t gain a massive amount of weight in these next 7 weeks.
This morning I went walking with Melisa and Camille, and on our way back from our walk, it suddenly turned freezing, and an icy wind came out of nowhere. Once we were home, Melisa came over so that I could help her make her kids’ Valentines in Photoshop. After I picked Easton up from school, I came home and worked on some pictures and made lunch, and then we headed to my prenatal visit. I love that these are every two weeks now. It just makes it go by so much faster. I gained 3 lbs since my last visit, which puts me at a total of 14 so far. I wasn’t happy about it, but I wasn’t devasted by that number either. I prefer to lose weight. But I only have 7 more weeks of the numbers going up on the scale, and then it’s just all going to fall off quickly and effortlessly. At least that’s what I tell myself. This is the magic pregnancy that will get my weight back to normal.
After my appointment, the boys watched some TV while I did some editing. Then we made a Walmart trip like we do so often during the week because I am terrible about planning dinner in advance. I was too lazy to quick to I just bought a Stouffer’s lasagna and popped that in the oven and made garlic bread out of ciabatta rolls. It was yummy garlic bread. For FHE we talked about how to have happiness in our lives and why our family does things to make for a happy family. Easton is always sweet and receptive to the things that we teach him.
After getting the boys bathed and in bed, I made a trip to Target to get some some stuff for Valentine’s for Easton’s class and for some goodies for the boys. I am helping in Easton’s class again in the morning, and Teags is going to my friend Savannah’s to hang out with her and her son Asher while I am with Easton. We have plans to hang out with Jacob’s parents tomorrow, so we’ll see how it all goes.
