Happy Friday

Today was a glorious day. My daughter got to go on a field trip with her school to go ice skating. She loved it so much. At first she told me all these wonderful things and how she did this and how she did that and this and that and it was the best time ever! As the day went on the truth came out, or at least the dreaded truth ha ha ha. I sent with her a helmet as they requested, i assumed they would put it on her. NOPE! So first thing she did was get out there and fall on her face and hurt her mouth. She then mentioned that she had a helmet and put it on, that is when all the kids had to put on helmets. DUH! Then she told me about all kinds of other painful falls. Gosh! You see she wanted me to go on this field trip with her but i just couldnt do it, i would have never let her touch that ice - ever! lol! This morning i even asked her if she just wanted to stay home. Of course not! So i sat at home all morning waiting for a terrible phone call that never came. Even at the end of the day she still says it was so much fun and she would love to go again. I call that a successful trip!
Last night after all of our shopping i got on this wonderful site! http://eielson.baseforsale.com/?content=viewposts&ignore=&posts=&category=all&page=1 and found a double jogging stroller. I have been on the look out for one of these in a good price range since before my son was born. Finally last night i found one. I called them asap and i got it today. I adore it and already took my new wheels out for a stroll. This is way better than a regular stroller, had i known! So what a great investment!
Then today i had my check up for the pregnancy. All is well, i do have another ultrasound coming up just to ensure the placenta has gotten far enough away from my cervix that i can delivery vaginally. That is what i prefer. I have only gained 6 pounds *high five* and i feel fantastic after that appointment. Some thing about being at the half way make, not gaining a crap load of weight, and knowing that all is pretty well makes me smile on the inside and out. I am so happy - now of course even with happiness comes want and i really want my husband to be here for this birth so hopefully some way some how the military comes through for us this time.
Well its been a long day, i have crafty stuff on the brain so i am going to go put it to use. Dont forget Mothers Day is just days away!
