10:33 pm	I am feeling better now. Tuesday was just a crappy day and Wednesday just seemed to last forever. It will be nice to be working eight hour days instead of ten. I start my new shift on Monday. I got new lenses put in my dragon glasses and once again have them to wear... I associate good things with these glasses... Now I need to drag Ryan away from DF so I can go home and to sleep... Tomorrow... geek TV at 7:30PM (make a wish)

9:13 pm	I have started nesting. Every time I have a day off I have been working on cleaning the house; throwing things away, dusting, vacuuming... I guess I have just reached the point where I want the house to be clean. I want to feel like people could just show up and I won't have to worry about the bathroom not being clean. Today we went to see My Big Fat Greek Wedding with Amanda. It was a wonderful movie. I think all of my problems my be rooted in the fact that I can never find a bottle of Windex when I need it. For those of you who haven't seen the movie, go see it. I am now watching LA Story, which is one of my favorite movies of all time, Ryan is gone on a fire call, little dog is on the couch, and big dog is snoozing by the door. All in all, things are pretty peaceful here right now, which is just the way I like it. Current Mood: sleepy (make a wish)
8:54 pm	"Life's but a walking shadow; a poor player, That struts and frets his hour upon the stage, And then is heard no more: it is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing." Act V, Scene VI, Macbeth (make a wish)

10:14 am	We have officially made one full year of mortgage payments. Now off to the showers with me. (make a wish)
10:06 am	Ryan, my e-mail is slow. (make a wish)
9:54 am	leg cramps There seems to be something with leg cramps going around... I woke up last night at about 3AM with a huge leg cramp. Obviously in pain, I yelped for Ryan to get up. The dogs start to bark and charge through the house looking for whoever is trying to hurt me and Ryan screams, "what!?" half asleep. Now I know to just say, "leg cramp," and it will have the desired effect without the circus. On the other hand, it is nice to know I have three valiant protectors just waiting to save me.

8:46 pm	Good tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwich... Husband is out with a firefighter person. Shorty is on Clyde's rug chewing on a two foot rawhide. Clyde is on the floor panting heavily. I am on the couch thinking I really want to sleep but I need to go be a responsible adult, pay bills and do finances. These ten hour days are way too long. Monday through Wednesday just go by in a blur of work, not enough sleep, and nausea. Current Mood: tired Current Music: Law and Order (make a wish)

12:59 pm	there once was a man from Nantucket... I am a POET I know that rhyming isnt everything, and I use my talent to explore my mind's deepest and often the most eccentric corners, instead of focusing on the bad like so many angsty teenagers. Oh, and girls (as well as femmy guys) really go for my poetry... (make a wish)
10:52 am	It has been quite awhile so I thought I should probably put something in here. Last weekend Ryan and I went to a wedding in Chico, CA. It was hot. I had a clothing crisis on the day of the wedding. I brought a cute little sundress which I didn't bother trying on before we left. I put it on the morning of the wedding and it was a bit tight around the chest. The really bad part was it was a short dress to begin with and the front of the dress was know higher than the back of the dress. There was no way I get wear the thing to a wedding. So we had to run out and purchase a new dress for me. I was able to find a really cute purple and blue dress on sale. Ryan says I will only be able to wear it twice, but everyone said I looked great. I am glad I no longer live in California. I don't think I ever want to be where it is 106 degrees again. All I wanted to do was sit in my air conditioned hotel room. So that was the past weekend. This past week I have been ill. I have tried everything I can think of for morning sickness and am just about ready to follow my husband's suggestion of, "Just throw up; you'll feel better." Yesterday we went to the King County Fair. It was a nice little fair. Not as crowded or crazy as Puyallup. There also wasn't as much there. They did have the essentials: hand-dipped ice cream bars, funnel cakes and a gyro which was quite good. Fortunately, yesterday I was feeling well enough to eat because 85% of going to any fair is the food. Ryan is pressuring me to apply for a job today. I am going to just o humor him. I admit it would be a great job with the library system, but I would feel guilty about them hiring me when I would have to go on maternity leave in sixth months. Ryan doesn't seem to think there is a moral obligation for me to inform any potential employer I am pregnant; I feel it is there is. If I don't tell them it is an omission of truth which could have a potential negative impact on the way the employer views my ethics. Anyways... I should probably go and start my day. (make a wish)

7:48 pm	The past few weeks... OK... it has been awhile, so here is what I have been up to for the past few weeks... This is going to be brief... Actually... I don't feel like writing... my tummy hurts... I am getting morning sickness at night... The really cool thing is I heard the baby's heartbeat yesterday at the doctor. 150 beats per minute... it sounded like a hummingbird. There really is something growing inside of me, and it is alive.

9:47 pm	oh... and... Mary and Damian leave tomorrow morning for the long drive from Fairbanks, AK to Seattle... I hope you see this before you leave. Drive safe and call me when you get here. Have fun!!! (make a wish)
9:41 pm	I will survive I was awake this morning at 5:30AM... my dog woke me up and the second I stood up I felt like my stomach was going to jump out of my body. There was no point in going back to bed after this, so I went out to the couch and sipped a glass of ginger ale. It made me fell slightly better until I stood up again. I left the house early and grabbed some ginger snaps from the store on my way to work. All the way in to work I was near tears. I kept thinking, "How am I going to do this? How am I ever going to survive the next seven and a half months?" I parked the car, took a deep breath, and started to repeat my mother's mantra. Buck up, Caroline. You can do this. You are human, you will adapt. Women have been doing this for thousands of years. The morning was rough but I made it through the day and I now have a temporarily brighter outlook. The dogs made it through the day without any messes and Ryan will be back tomorrow morning. Goodnight world. Current Mood: tired Current Music: Xena (make a wish)

1:41 pm	It appears I am not going to get to escape morning sickness as I hoped. Vomiting is the rudest thing a body can do. In theory, this should only last one or two months... hopefully, it will be much, much less Current Mood: sick Current Music: Lethal Weapon on TV (1wish | make a wish)
11:48 am	I had one of those experiences yesterday which made me feel one with all of humanity; like we are all parts of a puzzle designed to support and complete each other. There is a woman I work with who used to stay an hour after her shift practially each day to talk to me while I was working the midnight shift. Since the shift change, I haven't had much of an opportunity to speak with her. I noticed about a month ago she started to take a lot of days off, but I never had the chance to ask why. I just assumed she was on vacation. Anyways, after I finished my shift yesterday, I went over to tell her I was going to have a kid. After I shared the news, she stood up gave me a hug and told me it was the best news she has heard in two years. Her many absences were due to her father's recent passing which hit her really hard. She told me my news gave her a new sense of hope and peace which she has not felt for years. It was a powerful experience. On a different note, I went to see The Paperboys with Damian last night. Very good music and interesting crowd. They was a group of very drunk, very large, people next to us. We arrived right when the music started and stayed for two hours. They played much longer than that I am sure but I had to get home to my cranky dogs and sleep. (make a wish)

9:45 pm	eating meat again OK... I guess it is time for me to write about the events of the past few days. The big news is we have started to eat meat again. On Saturday I made Ryan, Nick and Damian take me to the Armadillo. It was a good chicken sandwich and it didn't make me the least bit ill... which is made even more impressive by the fact that I am pregnant. My mother was beginning to think I would never have kids. Now everybody just needs to put out that girl energy so my mother will have another clothes model. The approximate date is February 3, 2003. My grandfather says I need to hold out until Valentine's Day. Who know? It is too early to really know. I have seen one doctor and I have to see a specialist next who will ultimately be the person who delivers. Ryan asked some of the fire dept people where their wives went and who they used and the all recommended a Dr. Wittman out of the Evergreen Maternity Center in Kirkland. I called today and made an appointment. Next Wednesday I go in to get poked, prodded and have samples taken by the nurse. My first visit with the actual OB will be on July 5th. FYI... this is a good thing. Ryan and I are both happy. Shorty, on the other hand, is not looking forward to the competition. (1wish | make a wish)
9:35 pm	...this explains a lot... Okay, slow down here, you shouldn't try to please everyone, and you definately shouldn't try to spend every waking moment with them either. Two aspirin are prescribed for every two minutes with you. But don't worry, there's hope, just learn to back off a little and maybe get tested for ADD, and you'll make a friend. Maybe even two.
