Yesterday was the pits. I didn't shower, heck, I didn't even brush my teeth. Thats right... all day long. Never got dressed. Never put a bra on. My kids spent the majority of the morning in front of the TV and didn't eat breakfast until 10:30am. They got up at 6am so you can bet they were hungry. Dave was gone from 7 am until 6 pm. Poor guy, he got home and didn't have a second to breath before he started to feed the kids, get them in their "cozies" and put them to bed.
On a bit of a positive note I can not express my gratitude for people like my Mom. She came over at 10:30, which is why that's when the kids ate, played with the kids here for a while, and then took them to her house. She had them over there for 3 hours, fed them lunch and got them away form their dull, sick Mommy. And she had a smile on her face.
And I am so grateful for Dave who jumps in without a single word. He takes over with the kids and never makes me feel guilty about checking-out on the couch or going upstairs for a needed nap. I love this man... he is really a wonderful Husband and Father. I knew he'd be great but never could have imagined how lucky I really got the day I married him.
Well, there you go. I tried to mix bit of good with the bad. Who can stand someone who just complains all the time?! 12 weeks is usually the lucky number for me.... so 2 more weeks to go. I hope!!

We're keeping our fingers crossed for you! 12 weeks should be nice! What a awesome mom and hubby...that's so nice to have them there for you. If you EVER need anything I can take the kids...in fact, when can I? I would love to have them come over here and play and then Sam and Vaness can come too! When?!
sometimes I just wonder why I actually want to have kids. They just wear you out from the minute they start growing inside of you! :) but... I know they are worth it. I look forward to being pregnant ONE day... FAR away, but then I remember about morning sickness and stuff and I start to think twice! Hope you're better soon!
Jill...you're doing a great job. You're a great mom and wife...and Dave is just as lucky to have you as you are to have him!!!!! hang in there girl!
Oh Jill, I love to know that you are human! At least you have an excuse for not feeding your kids until 10:30 in the am. I'm not pregnant and it's usually around 10 am that I get around to that. You deserve the rest, because there isn't much of it after the baby comes! I hope you feel better soon! Love ya!
I knew my son was a good man but I never imagined he would be so solicitous. I am proud to be his mother and proud to be your mother-in-law. Wish I could be there to help but I'm sure glad your Mom is close by-she's the best!
Now i feel bad about complaining. I complained all the time for months. I had so many days like that. Looking back i am just lucky my honey came home, i went so many days without showering/shaving/brushing my teeth/ and not wearing a bra. And my poor son would watch TV for like 10 hours. But I stopped feeling gulity and realized that is just the way life is. But he is fine. He survived. I hope you feel better, let me know if you need anything!
