Busy, busy, busy...

Life is getting exciting, but hectic, around here. I would say that my sporadic blogging is a symptom of the business in our lives. I have three weeks of work left, and before I leave I need to do report cards, parent teacher conferences, and prepare for my long term sub. I'm starting on the report cards today, but there are just so many ways to procrastinate when you are at home.
I guess you could say that we are sort of ready for the baby to come. We have all the "stuff" it's just not organized in any way - stemming from the fact that we need a dresser to put all his little clothes in - and the fact that we are just running out of space. Someday when I get everything organized I will take a picture for my blog. I should be focusing more on organizing, since I have two baby showers next weekend and I will be coming home with a bunch more "stuff".
Also, Paul's last class is next week! We are thrilled that he is done, but now he needs to find a job, which is always a stressful process.
So, bear with me while I deal with this. Soon, our blog will be moving to wordpress. I have been working on the new blog but I'm not quite ready to "unveil" it yet. Speaking of blogs, I would like to throw a question out there into the void. What happens to our blogs? Do you ever wonder where your blog will be ten years from now? Are you ever frustrated that you don't have a "paper" copy of your blog? Do you fear that someday it will vanish into internetland and never be seen again? Is this a silly fear? I sometimes wish my blog was in book form so that I could save it on my shelf. I think there might be more than one volume. All this writing and memories would be a shame to waste.

Why I heart craigslist...

...because it's like a giant garage sale that never ends. Paul and I really wanted this carseat. It was two hundred dollars in the store and we got it on craigslist for 80$. Believe me, we have weighed the pros and cons of buying a used carseat so please don't email me a list of reasons we shouldn't have done it. It is a 2006 model that has been used for one child for 7 months. I'm sold! My only gripe is that I don't live close enough to a metropolitan area to use it more often. We just happened to be going down to Portland yesterday for Rebecca's birthday so I checked out craigslist before we went. I can't believe I didn't use it more when I lived there. I guess I never really needed anything. If you are an entrepreneur you can make quite a lot of money on craigslist (you readers of my blog know who you are). Unfortunately, I did not inherit that gene from my wheeling and dealing father.

Paul and I had a good weekend. I can't stay out as late as I used to and I have to rest. This is really a bummer for me. Probably the most bummerish thing about my whole pregnancy - not being able to keep up with my husband. I feel like such a drag!

Rebecca (Paul's little sis) is officially 21. Happy Birthday! We had a good time with the Robinson's and then on the way home stopped by my parents house and saw my little brother Dan.

Check out this video. It's a baby panda sneezing. I just have to keep playing it over and over!
