I can not believe is is Thursday. Where did the week go? Where did the month go?
The fact that we are halfway through the year is just crazy. Now the fact that I have been pregnant almost a year is just as crazy.
The weeks are going by fast but I just wonder what other moms do with their children all summer.
My daughter has been out of school for almost two weeks and she is driving me a little crazy. Everyday she says she is bored and has nothing to do. Yet this week I have taken her to the park twice and the pool yesterday for almost 3 1/2 hours. Mind you I am supposed to be on bed rest per the Dr (hope he does not read my blog).
I am trying to spend as much time with her now before the baby comes as I know my time/patience will be thin once he arrives. I also know it will not be easy to just take her anywhere and everywhere she wants to go.
How do other mothers that don't take their children to daycare survive?
Help any ideas on how to make the next 9 weeks of this go any smoother or even faster?
Welcome to my world!

Second Day Of Summer!
So today was a much better summer day for my daughter.
Her little cousin was here all day and have been outside playing for HOURS! I of course still have to check in and make sure they are doing good.
Lucky that my front yard has a big play yard (slide, tubes, etc) that is fenced in so they can't go near the street. This has kept them busy all day.
It is amazing to listen to the things they will make up to play. Their imagination is great. I remember when I was that little!
This morning they made paper shoes and cards and tried selling them on our street. That did not work. They lowered their prices. Still no takers.
So I thought ok we have a ton of candy from the baby shower (we had a candy bar) that we in our house do not need to eat. So I just finished letting them set up a candy shop outside to sell.
My daughter the business woman like her mommy!
They want to make enough money to go have ice cream after dinner. I will keep everyone posted as to how much they make. Fingers crossed!!!

Offically Summer Break!
So today marked the first day of summer break for my daughter and son.
My son is 16 years old and has his own plans, friends, "girlfriends", etc. So as summer break approached for him I was not so concerned. Although I did want him to go out and get a job. Which is of no interest to him at 16. But if he want a car on his 17th birthday he better get out and join the work force.
My daughter was the main concern for me. I am quickly approaching my due date and get more irritable and tired daily. I knew that trips to Disneyland and Knotts where not a option for me. Which sucks for her because she does not understand how tired I get just walking around for 10 minutes.
With my whole baby scare last week my doctor has kinda put me on home bed rest till he is back in town on July 5th. So our first day of summer break I wake my daughter up and tell her mommy has a appointment for the baby so we have to go to the hospital. Instead of giving me a hard time she eats her cereal and gets herself dressed and ready. I was concerned she would be bored sitting in the room for 30 minutes while they monitor the baby and then a quick fluid ultrasound. I was so amazed at how well she did. She brought her little penguin and her DS and was a happy girl.
After leaving the hospital we make a quick stop at Target. I get her a Icee and she did really well at the store (did not ask to buy anything, or complain about how long it was taking). We finally get home and I make her some lunch. After lunch she plays in her room a little bit and then comes out and says she is bored. Now we do not have kids her age in the neighborhood. So it's not like she can go outside and play with her friends. This makes me start to wonder what the heck the next two in a half months are going to be like for her and I. Any suggestions??????

Holiday weekend!
You can tell that it is a holiday weekend here is sunny Southern California.
For the past week the weather has been in the 60's and even sometimes looks like it wants to rain. But come Saturday morning of the holiday weekend the sun comes out bright and early and beats down all day.
While out and about with my family running errands my husbands says to me "You can tell it's a holiday weekend because everyone is out riding bikes, dressed like it's summer and buying all the BBQ food they can for their BBQ's on Monday". Including my husband who stocked up on his own BBQ feast.
I enjoy all the summer festivities but could do without the HEAT. Especially being this far along in my pregnancy.
I want to wish everyone a good memorial weekend (whats left of it) and to stay safe.
