TGIF! Finally!

Well, not much going on right now for us.

Baby Moose kicked up a bunch this morning when I first woke up. He's getting so strong now. Sometimes I wish he'd settle down. My mom says I'll miss it once he's born. I know she's right. The thing is, I enjoy breathing and not having my ribs and/or pelvis pumbled at all times! :D


I purchased some thank you cards for next week's shower. They're very plain but elegant, I think. I will try to work on them the week after the shower. Something tells me I'll have a ton to do. YAY! :D


My mom addressed the envelopes in calligraphy yesterday morning. She also mailed them off. They invited 65 ladies! Talk about a huge shower! WOW!

Let's see.....Mr. Moose and I are having lunch with our friends, The Ronish's, Sunday. Taco salads coming our way. YES!


Well, like I said, not much to ramble about today. If anything interesting and/or exciting happens, I'll fill you in.



Happy Weekend, all!

Answered Prayers & Invitations

I thank God daily for His answering of my prayers.
Last night, Mr. Moose purchased 2 DVD's online for us. They cover child birthing techniques (Lamaze and relaxation), first aid and bringing home newborns. I was planning on pulling all of the hair on my head out, but thankfully, that was nipped in the bud! :D
An added bonus to this was pointed out by my bff, Monica, yesterday. No gas will need to be used in the privacy of our own home. Also, any information that we need to have re-explained, can be easily accessed via our DVD player. No dressing up or rushing about to attend classes. Practice can be accompanied by instruction. Benefits galore! Also, if anyone wants to view the first aid or child care DVD's, we'll have 'em and can all be on the same page. SWEET!
Also, my mom showed me the invitations my sissy made to send out for Baby Moose's shower (on November 15th). They're darling! Light blue with a black font and an adorable plaid bow at the top. I've been promised one for my son's scrapbook. After I receive it, scan it in and take away all the distinguishing info, I'll post a pic of it here. I'm so EXCITED!!!!!
Also, we're having a hot spell here in Mooseville. 78 degrees in November. What's the deal-i-o?
Oh, well.
Hope everyone's day has been going well. Tomorrow's Friday! YAY!
See you guys lata.

Hump Day Rambles


Mr. Moose told me yesterday that the pharmacy in our grocery store is closed.


Now I have to go to one of those national chains. I dislike this because I had really gotten to know our pharmacist....BUMMER! (Plus, those national chains take FOREVER to re-fill a prescription.)


Also, I got a call from the hospital where I'll be giving birth to our son next month. I was informed that the child-birthing class I signed up for and paid for (4 months ago!) is not accepting my husband and I. Now I am scrambling around trying to sign up for some new child-birthing classes. Any suggestions? I've tried the other hospitals in town all to no avail. It really sucks!


I am determined to stay positive, however. God will provide. I have no doubt! (Just say a little prayer for us, if you don't mind!)


Happy "Hump" Day, all!

Rambles From Mrs. Moose

Well, today's the day. Election Day.


I will be sooooo happy when all the negative political ads stop and we can watch t.v. without having to have 5 or 6 negatives ads in a row.


This morning, our polling place was swamped with over 150 voters. It's so wonderful and amazing that citizens of our country care about politics this time. I've ALWAYS voted (since so many women fought so I'd have the right). It's so great to know others are so jazzed up about it this year, too.



I talked with my sissy yesterday. She took a personal day off from her teaching job. She worked on and mailed our son's shower invitations yesterday. I asked for one to put in his baby book. I'm soooooo excited, anxious, etc. YAY!


I also heard from my friend, LYNDA yesterday. She, her hubby and their new daughter are doing wonderfully! I plan on sending her a "sling" within the week. She needs one and I know where to purchase one for them at a good price.


I plan on surfing around and finding some thank you notes online for Baby Moose's shower today. I want to go ahead and get them so my guests can fill out their correct addresses at my baby shower. I only have a couple of weeks. I need to get on the ball!


Well, that's all for now.

Hope everyone's Tuesday is great today!


Don't forget to vote! :D

FYI

Oh! I forgot to say.....

Hooper Academy won thier homecoming Friday! The dance Saturday was a blast (so I've been told...) and now my sissy's all worn out.

Bless her sweet heart. She worked so hard and it was a tremendous success. I am soooooooooooo proud of her.

YAY!!!!!


Weekend Wrap-Up

I had a very restful, fine weekend.

Friday, Mr. Moose and I had dinner at Ryan's. Then, we came home, watched t.v. and hoped for some trick-or-treaters. (We had 0!)

Saturday, we did some chores, Mr. Moose went to a card tournament and we had dinner out with friends for Mr. Moose's birthday.


Yesterday was my hubby's birthday. We tidied up a bit and had lunch with my family at Mr. Mooses's favorite Mexican restaurant. I baked him a yellow cake with chocolate icing. He said all the candles could be seen from space! He asked for and got money as his b-day gifts.

THANKS EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yesterday afternoon, we purchased 8 packages of diapers for our son. Hopefully, he will get some use out of these. (They were on sale. Buy One Get One Free! And, as everyone knows, one can never have too many diapers!)

My Indianapolis Colts defeated the New England Patriots last night, too! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!

Overall, this weekend was very relaxing and fun. I wish they were all this way, don't you?
Happy Week Everyone and don't forget to VOTE tomorrow!
