I have totally lost count of how far along I am. I thought I was 19-20 weeks. but apparently according to my ticker over to the right I am only 17-18 weeks.

I am excited for my ultrasound, to confirm how far along I am. Matt is going to find out the sex, and attempt to keep it secret from me. We shall see how this goes.

Still here

I am now either 14 or 15 weeks. I am still able to fit into my regular clothes, it just doesn't look pretty. I bought a couple of maternity pants and some shirts. This in between stage is so akward. I need to get some fabric and make some more skirts. The skirts I made last time were the best! They were super easy and I think it cost like $10 to make two of them. My boss gave me a bunch of maternity clothes today. Karen has given me a bunch. The problem I have with maternity clothes is that they seem to think that only shorter women get pregnant. Either that or they don't accomodate for the expansion of the inner thighs. EVERY pair of maternity pants with the bigbelly band are WAY too short, as in like 2 inches. If I pull them down to where I don't have a belly band and a bra all in one then the crotch of the pants hangs down halfway between my actual bits and my knees. So skirts it is.

Work is going well. The kids are great.

Gryphon got to play goalie in soccer the other day and he was AWESOME! When they switched out he had to put on a jersey vest thing and he got it halfway on and the ref blew the whistle so the other team took their goal kick (not technical name, but you get the idea) and Gryphon's arms were all tangled in his vest thing and he blocked the goal with his knee. We went crazy laughing and cheering, cause that was just amazing! Seriously his arms were tangled in his jersey, as in no use of the upper extremeties. The coach had to come onto the field and fix the jersey. Then he was good to go. He blocked a couple of shots and even dove for one that just eeked by him. I was so proud of him I was crying! It was a good day. So other than Gryphon the wonder goalie I have nothing to update.

13 weeks

It has been over a month since I have posted. I had my first Midwife visit and heard the baby's heart beat. We are thinking girl. I am 13-14 weeks along. I have no internet at home, and have not set my phone up for this webpage. Hopefully soon I'll get it all set up. Gryphon is playiong soccer and doing well. School is going well. Parker is doing great. So not much of an update.

Bend over!

Yes my friends it is that time again.. the time whence I complain about the fact that I am financially fucked. You know I get on track and have things rolling smoothly along and I turn my back for a brief second and WHAM! I run smack into the wall of "You just got financially screwed! We noticed that things might have been a bit easy on you financially over the last month. We don't want to hear some sorry ass excuse about how you were out of work.. bla bla bla. We do want to inform you that we have changed your gas bill from $147 a month to $250 a month, and yes you need to pay that amount in order to turn n the new service at your new apartment... in other words.. BEND OVER HONEY THIS WILL ONLY HURT FOR A MONTH OR SO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" I HATE that I get caught up and then I get hit with some crazy financial disaster... and yes $200 when you can't buy food is a disaster.. not to mention that you don't have the money to move into the apartment, and some other things will be late as well. It's funny that the state of Missouri is so quick to find out when I have a side job and take away benefits, but ask the FUCKING State of Missouri to put Paul the slacker mother fucker in jail for non payment for the last 3.5 YEARS and tey can't even find the fucker! Great system ya got goin' there! I wouldn't even need to be on assistance if he would wake the fuck up and support his child! See HE wants to have Gryphon part time so that he doesn't have to pay anything. HA!!!!!! I can see it now.. Gryphon would be an alcoholic at 9 and smocking crack by the time he was 12. Luckily he lives with me.

So if anyone is shitting gold nuggets... can I come fish in your toilet? Or better yet will you come and shit in my pool?

Settling down

So after two weeks of turmoil about being unemployed, and many break downs and about 10 interviews, I dropped Gryphon off at school and the Vice Principal asked me if I had applied for the para position... huh? She asked me to stop by human resources and speak to a woman there about the position. I told her that I needed a definite job then.. NOW. So I went and picked up some copies of transcripts and headed downtown to HR. I sat in the office lobby for 2 hours and then deicded that I had wasted enough time waiting for this job. I stood up and explained my frustration to the woman at the desk. A woman walked out and the woman at the desk told her I need to see HR woman. So I went back and spoke with her and she rushed me through paperwork. I start tomorrow morning. YAY!
