Not much going on, just dealing with morning sickness, which is more like "Strike at any time sickness" I have a hard time loving being pregnant during this period… this was true with both Shabree and Sammi, and I swore, I would not get pregnant again, during this time with both of them… so that should tell you something ;).

I’m pretty tired, but that may be because of the medicine I take to assist with keeping the nausea at bay, which is essentially benadryl.  I’ve read that most morning sickness meds make you sleepy.  With benadryl, it just all depends on how much sleep I’ve gotten. 
I’ve lost a couple of pounds, but I think I may have gained one back…too much Halloween candy floating around in my house!  Agh.  It’ll be the death of me, I swear.
I wasn’t getting on the computer, until I brought my laptop downstairs to the couch, now I’m on it all the time. 
I’m gearing up for Christmas.  I have to do it cheap this year, which is FINE because the kids are all still young, and I don’t want to buy a bunch of breakables.  Later on in my life, I’ll start buying things that are super nice as I come along them, but for now, it’s all plastic-ware from Wal mart.  That’s all right though… I just love divided plates, because I HATE it when my food gets mixed up and flavors mingle, so it actually works out well for me ;).  Maybe I’m just a kid at heart, I don’t know, but I probably am.  I’ve never really "done up" Christmas, but this year, I have this need…it’s been a tough year, I have to say.  It’s been a depressing year without a lot of money.  I’ve done the best I could to make things normal, and really, the kids don’t NEED as much as they’ve been given in the past, but in the last two months, I’ve had to replace two helmets, which were lost or stolen.  The thing is, the kids leave their helmets with their bikes, making them very easy to steal… and Shabree left her helmet by the lunchroom, making it look abandoned, I’m sure… "finders keepers losers weepers" or so they say… seems a convenient way to me to steal something from someone.   Thankfully, the helmets were only 8 dollars, but that’s 16 dollars I would have liked to have saved.   We could have bought them from the secondhand store, but the only one that sells stuff like that is in Stockton, and we’d probably use about 10 dollars in gas getting there.  So buy at Wal mart, save on the gas.  Anyway, I felt like trying to make Christmas a little more special this year, though truthfully, I haven’t REALLY got a clue HOW to, but hopefully I’ll figure it out, soon… lol.  I would like to get over to Michael’s, but I fear I would spend too much money, especially on scrapbook items.   I’m going to have to make a special effort to find the "free" stuff to do in the area, and go DO it.  This city is truly great for things like that… the community is amazing.  I just need to get involved, you know?  It’s hard… I’m a homebody, and I can’t spend a whole lot of money on things.  I just can’t.
Hopefully Jerry will make some money next week, possibly the week after.  I know I’m always saying that, but it’s looking good, and more importantly it’s feeling good.  We shall see…hope burns eternal. 

I can’t wait to get into my scrap room.  I’ve been waiting for weeks to get in there.  The smell really nauseates me.  So it’ll be nice when smells are no longer nauseating.   I can kind of get in there, but I have to take vitamin B6 first, and then I really can’t stay in there very long. 

My computer has run out of hard drive space.  I’ve got to restart it.  So I will post this.
