that i’m having a baby – i realized it the other day while i was getting dressed – one minute i’m thinking, – “omg, i’m gonna be a mom” and then all of a sudden it became “HOLY CRAP I’M GONNA HAVE A FREAKING BABY!!!!!” – as my vacation came to a close it donned on me that this would be my last vacation without a baby – the next time we’re on vacation, there won’t be any sleeping til 10 and lying around in bed watching soaps and surfing the ‘net til 1pm – no lounging around the house all day and no taking a shower until my soaps go off – i’ll be up at the crack of dawn and trying to cram all of my house stuff into the few hours that Spike is down for a nap – isn’t that insane?  don’t get me wrong, i’m not complaining – i’m just beginning how real this change is going to be!!  it’s insane – i’m gonna have a baby!

and speaking of insane – i would be the worst stay-at-home-wife ever if i did this full time – i think it would be totally different if i was a stay-at-home-mom – when you’re a mom, you have a kid (or kids) to take care of all day – and God bless the women who are SAHWs and have a full schedule of things to do – but me – i had no schedule – sure there were things that needed to be done around the house – a couple of loads of laundry and some light cleaning here and there – get dinner started – but what else?  Thursday night i went to dinner with some girlfriends and then we went to Dinner Station to make meals – i had every intention of getting out of the house early (or relatively early) to run errands before i met the girls – um yeah – i pretty much laid around the house doing nothing all day – then when i finally got up and got dressed, i was too late to run errands – i had to put on a few loads of laundry and make dinner for Kelley before i left – it was so funny because i was on the phone with a girlfriend as i was getting ready to leave and i thought i heard the garage door open – i hung up with my girlfriend and really started running around the house, but apparently i was hearing things because Kelley wasn’t home – i felt like i was 12 years old again – remember when you would stay home during the summer and your parents would give you a list of chores every day – and you would screw around the whole day and not start the list until 4:30pm when you knew your parents would be home at 5:30pm – that’s what i felt like – Kelley totally laughed at me when i told him the story – he, of course, didn’t care – but i felt a little guilty for doing nothing all day long while he was off at work – i promise i’ll be a much better part-time stay-at-home-mom!
