Welcome to my crazy existence.

Ok... Today is Wednesday. I usually love Wednesdays. I get to go to Lakewood and work with the kids there on Wednesdays. Then I have my Intro to Ed class tonight. I'm basically out all day today. Mom and Grace keep Mariana while I do my field experience and Phil will keep her tonight. I'll leave at about 9 and be gone until around 4. Then I'll leave again at about 5:30 and come back at about 8:30.

Typically, I enjoy this and it doesn't bother me at all. But, today I'm not looking forward to it. The first trimester is exhausting. I'm always tired. I never feel completely rested. Hopefully, that will change once I go to the doctor and he gives me my prenatal vitamins and such. Meanwhile, I think I'll go to the store today and pick up the over the counter ones.

In other news. Mariana is a joy to have. She's the sweetest little girl in the world! We went to Walgreens last night and she was so cute. She was like a kid in a candy store. She ran around all excited, wanted to see everything, and we didn't have problems with her making messes or grabbing everything from the shelves. We went in the toy aisle and she kept picking up this Cinderella doll.

Then she saw a purse set with Ariel on it. So she picked that up and Phil grabbed both of them and held them up for her and said, "Mariana, you can have ONE of these. Which one do you want sweetie?" Without hesitating she walked up to the Cinderella doll and said, "That. Baby." and didn't look at the purse set again.

Meanwhile, she's sitting here singing to her doll and making it dance.

Well, I have to go... singing time is over. She looked at me and said, "Mommy, I hun'ry." Time to make my cutie breakfast.

Halloween Party

Well the Halloween Party was a giant success. Though, my poor mother was ill and in bed the entire party. I think everyone had a grand time. I avoided all spiked beverages, since I am pregnant. I love saying that.

This morning we were given some fantastic news, but as it is not mine to share, I will decline sharing. I simply ask that you pray for my family.
