I have won 3 contests this week.

I have told you already about one contest this week, the spa gift set. I have also won this facial toner that is like $26 per 8 oz. bottle. And I was just told that I won handmade booties, right on time for me to put away for the new baby. Maybe I should go get a powerball ticket this week, LOL>

Thankful Thursday

It is Thankful Thursday, and this is a short and sweet. I am expecting, and that is what I am most Thankful for today. (ask me again in about 4 months and I will let you know if I am so thankful, LOL.)

I won a contest.

I won the Not Just Martha contest about pampering yourself. Good timing, I am going to need a bit of pampering. LOL.

CONFIRMED!

My pregnancy is confirmed. I figured a due date around the 22nd of April. They said today the 27th, so I adjusted my ticker to their day, and as we all know that could change again after ultrasounds and such. So, you all can countdown with me. At least I will be warm this winter!!!

My News!!!!

I just found out that I am pregnant. I took 2 home tests and both came out positive. Tomorrow I have a doc. appointment to "confirm" it, and will go from there. Now, as I entered the 400 contests from the dog days of summer giveaways I saw a really cool tracker at the top of one of those blogs. Now I have no idea which one, obviously. What it was is a bar like thing at the top of her blog, and it had the baby growing week by week, and it showed where she was in her pregnancy. If you have any idea where I can find it so I can put it on my blog I would really appreciate the info. Thanks. So this will be baby #4. We have 3 girls already, hubby is excited and is already looking at baby name books. I told him, and our oldest, we have 9 MONTHS. We do not have to choose tonight. Funny man. If it is a boy we already know what we will name him, I am not telling yet. If it is another girl, it will be tricky, there are so many. He wants Aurora, and I cannot say it right so I do not like it. Anyway, 9 months we will have a baby, with a name even!!!
Edited to add: I found it, I think it is such a neat thing. Also, hubby says what if I go to Doc. tomorrow and find out I am not P.G., well than I will have retract this post, and take away my ticker, that is what the bar at the top is called. I did not know that, Good you if you did.

End of Summer Giveaway!

Go figure.

Here is another bloggy group I am going to join. It is about what you do to stay fit and healthy. Well recently I had talked to my hubby about using our workout room here at the apartments. They have a treadmill, which is what I would probably favor, I really like to run. They have many other things down there too. I am going to try 2 times a week to start with. I am still working on the plan. Anyway, that is not quite steppin' up and doing it, it is just a thought, but I do want to. Maybe I will start this coming week, on Tuesday. I will let you know.

Another Thankful Thursday. I am thankful for my silly little girls. They make me laugh, more than they make me angry, and every mommy needs to laugh with her babies. I am also thankful for my hubby. He is a great house cleaner, and when he de-clutters things you can see the difference. When I do it, it just does not turn out the same. He has a great eye for things like that. He is also a very hard worker. I appreciate that and I am sure that he would be thankful if I told him that more. Anyway, I am thankful for my family. Sometimes I feel like I am pulled in many different directions, but I would be so sad if that feeling went away.

This s is another contest, all about pampering you. The biggest thing I do to pamper myself is I try to make time to do my hair daily. I just got a new cut, and it is not really one you can just let hang, so I mess with it and try to make it look decent. Also, I try weekly to take a mama bath. I realize how much I like to get smell good things and just soak, with my head under the water, just so I do not hear all the noise from my house. Because even if my little 3 are in bed, my hubby still likes the T.V. on and sometimes I think he may be losing his hearing. Anyway, click the link above, leave your comment and good luck.

I am thankful for the Lord. Jesus Christ, for dieing for me. I know that even though I try so hard to be "right" I know that when I fail, and repent, and keep trying, I am forgiven. I know I will never be perfect, not here anyway, and I thank God that I have a great path laid before me to live and learn.

I like how google ads work. Right now I have ads for snake trapping. Maybe my friend at Rugrats and Dirty Rugs should check that out. Ha, Ha.

A funny!!!!!

The other night my family was sitting at the dinner table, talking about all the girls' births. For those of you who do not know, I have had some pretty interesting child bearing moments. My oldest was pretty normal, I was just so freaked out I could not relax so my body was not doing anything it should have been. So they gave me the epidermal and it sent my body in the right direction. Everything was normal. Then my 2nd pregnancy came around. I only had one hurtful contraction, and then I could feel her head. Oh yeah, I was at home, unplanned giving birth in the hallway of my apartment, with about 7 fireman and a few paramedics. Then my 3rd baby was pretty normal, I just begged them to induce me, so I could actually be in the hospital and not in my hallway of my apartment, hee, hee. Now I have heard that most women are in excruciating pain when the are on the potosin (not sure if I spelled that right.), but I was lucky there too, I could have slept and the nurse thought I was quite a freak. Our friends came to see us, and they went to get hubby a sandwich just right across the street, and by the time they got back Baby girl 3 had been born. A matter of minutes. And our friends husband said that he could not even tell that it was that far along and he was not even uncomfortable sitting and talking with us before said baby was born.
Okay so back to the original story. As we are talking about all this, my oldest asked hubby if he cut all of their "utility" cords. She instantly knew that was not right, blushing and laughing. Oh I love my girls!!!!

My snake story.

Again, my friend at Rugrats and Dirty Rugs has written a post that has inspired me to share. When I was in Junior High, I lived with my father. We had 10 fish tanks with huge fish, sucker fish, an Oscar fish who would eat any bug that you put in the tank, rats, that we fed to a 5 ft. long hog nose bull snake. The snake had a home in my dads room, which my dad normally kept the door closed. This snake bit, and it freaked me out. I did not like having it much. One day I was running up the stairs to my room and I saw the tail of the snake going under the carpet of the stairs. I called for my sisters and neither of them wanted to touch it. We had 2 men outside our house fixing the gas meter cause one of our friends had drove right into it. So I went outside and asked if they were scared of snakes. Of course they said no. So I told them that my dads snake got out and I needed help to get him and put him somewhere til my dad got home. Once I told them what kind of snake, and that it bit, they both got this funny look on their faces. They had a pair of very thick gloves, and one guy told the other, "you have the gloves." Well the man threw them over to the other guy, and said "Not anymore." So he picks them up and came inside. We waited for the snake to come all the way down the stairs and the guy grabbed him, and wrestled a little with the head, and we finally got it in a box to await the arrival of dad, who never had any problems with getting bit by this snake. UGH! It was funny to see 2 grown men struggle with the idea of helping me with this snake. I had really forgotten about this "pet" we had until reading my friends post about the snakes where she lives. I remember naming my dads snake, Sir Strikes A Lot, because at that time Sir Mix A Lot was very popular. That name stuck. Eventually my dad took it some creek and released it. Thank God!!!

I've Got Nothing

Now by that I mean I do not have one thing I can write about. Do not get me wrong, I have a lot of things in my heart and head, but should not write about them because, well lots of reasons. My blog is not a place where I can just write about how I feel, or what I am thinking, oh well. I am done complaining. Speaking of complaining, do you? Do you to much? Have you heard of the complaint free church. I wrote about it here, it is in my archives. (I tried to link to it, but could not.) The goal is to keep a bracelet on one wrist for 21 days. Any time you are complaining you have to switch wrists and start over! It is not easy. I have had mine since Wednesday I think, and already, back and forth back and forth. I normally start complaining when I get frustrated at something. Then I complain about it. Normal? Anyway, my lil' brain is just about pooped and I have a feeling I will be waking up early, even though tomorrow is my no alarm day. 3 little ones make it a little more diffilcult to sleep in. sigh.....

5.M.F.M. is giving away a T.V.
