Project 365, The last week

Wednesday: So I am officially, 37 weeks and 1 day in this picture. If you look carefully you can see how my belly button is poking out even through the tshirt. (Yes, I think I am obsessed with my belly button. Even when I wasn't pregant, I would stick my finger inside my belly button and smell it, and then ask DaddyA to smell it, which he would refuse.) I don't know what my problem is. I need to find a support group, "Hello, I'm MammaA and I have an addiction to my belly button." LOL

Thursday: DaddyA wanted steak, so I had him cook them on his griddle while I made the potatoes, broccoli and rolls. It was a very good dinner and I think I am the only one in the house who actually ate all of their food. ( I even had seconds on rolls and broccoli.)

I had planned to make a soup on Friday, but at the usual dinner time we found out that the beans were not done. (I had put our Christmas ham that had been frozen into the crockpot and added some bean mixture.) We ended up eating Sonic and since Blockbuster is right next door we went and picked up 2 old movies so it didn't cost us that much. We finally watched I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry. That was such a funny movie! We had to wait until PrincessA was in bed to watch it, but we really enjoyed it.

You know that IHOP has the never-ending pancake deal going on right now, right? Well DaddyA said on Wednesday of last week that he wanted to eat at IHOP on Saturday since it was the only day that he could go with his girls due to his work schedule. So we went and then afterwards we went to ToysRUs to shop for LittleA, then to WalMart for PrincessA to use a gift card she had and we bought some birthday presents for 2 little boys that have birthdays these next two weekends, and then to Target so PrincessA could use another gift card and we could buy a little bit more for LittleA. On our way home we went over a bridge (because we live near the water) and I looked at the sun coming through the clouds on it's decent for the day. This isn't the best picture, but it does give you a little idea of the beauty here in my neck of the country.

After church DaddyA usually brings in our Bibles and just puts them on our bed. His is on bottom and my new one that he gave me for Christmas is on top. I have my mother devotional book and my notebook that I take sermon notes in between the two.DaddyA had duty on MLK day, so it was just PrincessA and myself all day long. Makes for a LONG day. We had a snack of popcorn in the afternoon because the past week she can eat a meal and get up from the table. Within 10 minutes, she comes to me telling me that she wants a snack. WHAT??? Drives me crazy!Absolutely nothing on tv on Tuesday besides the Inauguration. Just an FYI for those of you who have jobs. So I spent pretty much from the time I woke up until the time NCIS came on not being able to watch tv without seeing something that was going on in D.C. I will admit that I teared up on that day. My heart went out to former President George W. Bush as he finished this part of his life. I did read online how he was greeted in TX by a crowd of 2000 or something like that and said "It's good to be home!" Another thing from the day that I found entertaining: When former President George H.W. Bush came out onto the area that all the dignitaries were sitting first thing he said was "Boy, it's cold out here." LOL. He had been in the cold downstairs when he came into the capitol, did he think going up the stairs and then outside would somehow warm up the town? Also thought it was interesting that H.W. and Barbara were both wearing the same purple scarves that they wore 1 1/2 ago when they were here in town for the commissioning. DaddyA thinks they didn't go back to TX this past week and have been visiting W. and Laura so of course they had to wear the same scarves. I don't know, just my observations of that day.Yesterday, I finally did our 2nd half of the month shopping while PrincessA was at MDO. I was able to get through my entire list at the commissary in about 1 1/2 hours. Which is good for me, of course then I had to take a potty break before I got into the checkout line and I went straight to the church to pick PrincessA up, but still I did get it all done in less than 2 hours. That's an accomplishment!

I know, you are asking if I will ever post everyday like a normal person? Probably not, especially since my brain is a fruit basket and only getting fruiter every day as my due date approaches. Did read on Ali's blog yesterday that her due date is the 14th, so I am farther along than she is. Not that it matters all that much. Just a bit of information I didn't have before but have been wondering about since she announced her pregnancy on her blog.
