I don't know if it is entirely helpful to blog in my pregnant state. Or watch movies. By some act of laziness, I sat and watched Steel Magnolias last night I sobbed so hard my head hurt. I've watched that movie dozens of times before, but never did I get it until last night. Remind me to never watch that movie again. Will you?
(Oh my gosh that scene with Sally Field going to pick up her grandson after her daughter dies. Stop! Stop c jane! Stop thinking about it!)
But I shouldn't blog when I am pregnant either because it tends to lean towards self-pity. And I am sorry about that, I am praying to get over it. Like sincerely praying. Especially because I truly believe in my heart of hearts that being a happy person (wife, mother, neighbor) is the best gift you can give to the world. And I love happy people. I seek them. I dream about being just like them. And as soon as I don't feel like road kill I will join them. By golly.
But this morning I faced the world with a lockjaw and the simultaneous task to vomit. Ever vomited with a lockjaw? Anyway, Chup had this forward-thinking idea to let The Chief play with his old radio before he left for work. (Uncanny, my son's obsession with antique technology.) Anything to keep the little guy busy instead of watching me hurl--a violent scene to be sure.
So The Chief was tuning in and out of stations and I was hunched over doing my thing when suddenly the radio picks up on an oldies rock station. The Chief, squatting down like a bored monkey, let the dial rest for a minute. When the toilet noise subsided I could hear the familiar tune of Werewolves of London by the great Warren Zevon--a song I cannot refuse. I turned to see my baby dancing a subtle version of the hula. You know, rotating arms and shaking hips?
As soon as I could, I joined up with him in the hall. Together we danced the entire song and howled at all the right parts. Hot enchiladas (barf, enchiladas), for three minutes I was a happy person! Singing, dancing and shaking my hips. You should've seen it (but I am glad you didn't).
If my only pregnancy blogging purpose is to record the tender mercies of the Lord, then there you have it. Perhaps . . . maybe . . . some dj at the oldies rock station felt inspired to play that song just at that moment, which came through the dusty speakers of our antique radio by some act of a miraculously clear frequency, which in turn made a grumpy pregnant woman glad.
Mysterious ways, I love you.
Do something for me? Press play on this video and dance your heart out. Even you, in that cubicle. Just do it. You'll feel happy, I promise:

awesome. i am dancing in my pj's while my husband is watching sports center.
ps, i watched steel magnolias last night as well, bawled my eyes out too.
I too cry EVERY time I watch that movie. (Laughter through tears is my favorite emotion.)
We watched Steel Magnolias and remade Rachel's bridal headpiece.
And then I threw up from a migraine. Pretty sure this is what I get for being friends with you--an irresistible urge to upchuck. I can catch that from you, right?
Love it! Dancing in the halls with our babies is the best. Thanks for making me smile!
don't even TALK to me about Steel Magnolias. Sally Field in that movie? is genius incarnate. the zingers are priceless and make me laugh till i end up sobbing when she's in the hospital and gasping for breath crying so hard after the funeral and then picking up the little boy? OH MY GOSH.
Weeza. Nuff said.
i love your dancin pic.
and you on Oprah. speaking of crying, dearie. I cried that entire segment. i was actually astonished at the torrent of emotion unleashed in me as soon as your family opened the segment and talked about Stephanie. and then when she walked out, looking so strong and spirited and yet so fragile, so tender, literally like a new bud..i just lost it. you sweet girls.
xo
The mental image of your son finding something he liked on the radio enough to stop and dance to it fills me with delight.
Especially because I just found out today that we are having a little boy of our very own. :)
I LOVE how you're trying so hard to be optimistic and see beauty in moments while in the thick of prego sickness.
Inspiration for me, yes indeed!
P.S. Thanks for blogging. I love your blog...even when I try not to.
I danced today. Except it was to a song by Whitney Houston. You know, she has this song out now...which is my favorite cut, number seven on that...
(do you even ever read these comments? I know, it's been a while.)
That just made my night, it takes me back to fond childhood memories. And Steel Magnolias, such a powerful movie, I can't watch it without crying. Your family was amazing on Oprah today, I wish more families could be like that, my goal is to have my family so united and close. What a great example of Christlike love.
You are so awesome. So is the Cheif.
p.s. You were HOT on Oprah (you showed off that clock like Vana White! Loved it!)
My dad will not watch any award shows because Sally Field didnt win an award for the scene at the end after the funeral.
OK... I have heard that song many times but never listen to the words. ODD! But so catchy. And now I'll have to watch Steele Magnolias... never seen it. :-( I think us women do that a lot... watch movies we really shouldn't at certain times in our lives. Just weeks after my divorce I decided to watch Pride and Prejudice. BAD IDEA! Darn you Mr. Darcy!
A.) Werewolves of London is the most hysterical/best song ever. I laugh every time I hear it.
B.) Not that this has any relevancy to this particular entry, but ever since watching your episode of Cooking For One, I've been wanting to make that bean/cheese/avocado quesadilla. Tonight I did! It was delicious.
"Open your eyes Shelby!" It kills me every time.
BTW, this little device got me through my last pregnancy. It's a bit pricey but SO worth it.

c jane u r gorgeously funny, madsta

I truly truly do love this song...TUNE!.x.
Hahaha bless. I hope your morning sickness gets better soon.
What a great way to start my morning! Thanks cjane!
P.S. And you looked great on Oprah yesterday!
heheheheheheeee it is opnly 6:00 am here and I woke my husband up howling.....Noooooooo not that kind of howling, teeheeee. I am not music savvy and didn't know what the song was until I played your video special for us! Yohhhhhhhl .....very fun Courtney thanks for a great wakeup call! Hugs ~Donna from Massachusetts
I hope you feel better soon. I throw up violently all nine months - I feel your pain. And, yes - "Steel Magnolias" will always induce sobbing.
Great song, Great post.
... think the movie is sad, try watching it while having a child with type 1 diabetes. :( My son is SO blessed to have it in this day and time though, unlike the character Julia Roberts played in the movie, and of course, the thousands that dealt with it in real life before all of the advances we have today.
You could have fooled me that you aren't a happy person.
Chief must just be very in tune (ha!) with what his mother needs.
AAAAWWWWWOOOOO!
Hope you stop feeling like roadkill soon.
You cracked me up yesterday on the O... I found myself saying "Courtney......" You know, in the way someone would when you are showcasing the clock?
As I am due not quite a month after you, I agree that blogging while going through this stage is almost impossible. Especially if you strive to be a positive blogger as I know I do.
And, please don't watch Steel Magnolias again. It can only bring you sorrow, unless what you need is a good cry, in that case, watch away!
We put on our Halloween CD just last week while we danced around the house and cleaned. The kids LOVED this song - they thought howling in a song was hilarious!!
Oh, and my husband was almost an extra on Steel Magnolias. He and his friend were kicked out auditions for laughing at something that was supposed to be sad. If you knew them, though, this would not be a surprise.
Saw y'all on Oprah yesterday! Your family is such an inspiration. (But I'm sure you hear that lots and lots.) But it's true. You're a great testimony to the joy that can be found just living in the moment.
Thanks!!
Are you going to post the video of the Oprah show on your blog? I don't have cable and I really want to see the segment, or if you have a link for a video/youtube or something would be helpful. Thanks! :)
This is one of the reasons why I adore reading yours and Stephanie's blogs. Both of you remind me to take the time to dance. And you are not the only one who feels self pity when they blog. However, mine comes from investing time and energy into the perfect post only to have 1-2 people comment.
Oh! cjane you are wonderful. You made me laugh on oprah. I hope you feel better soon. We use to dance to james taylor\carly simon mockingbird song on fridays afternoon to start the weekend.
I LOVE that your tender mercy is that song! I am laughing - and dancing - in my cube.
Never watch Steel Magnolias. Ever. (Ok, I do enjoy Weeza.) But it makes me cry everytime, and I'm not preggers, so what does that say???
I love love love your blog. And your sister's. You two are so lovely & down to earth - it makes me feel happy to know there are more real people out there, just struggling to get by. Love it.
Steel Magnolias is the best - I cry EVERY time I watch it and I have seen it at least 100 times!
Speaking of crying - yesterday's Oprah - Stephanie's segment - BEAUTIFUL.
I have followed the whole story and have cried and prayed for your family. I have seen the new pics on her blog. Seeing her walk out, with that beautiful smile, I had to record it to watch later because I cried so hard I couldn't see the tv. Happy tears for her.
I watched that movie recently as well -- the cemetary scene is the one that gets me. I must say that I really like Drummond fighting with Weezer though - hillarious.
Ha! I just danced to the whole song with my 4 year old daughter - and yes, I'm pregnant myself, (though thankfully past the sick and yucky stage). Anyway, at the end she looked at me and said, "That's a funny one. That song - 'Where Was the Funder [thunder]?' I like that song."
I think I like her title best.
I did smile...thanks!

I watched that movie the other night too! I bow my head in shame when I say that I'd never seen the whole movie through, but I did this time. I don't know a soul who can watch that movie and NOT cry! Well, except maybe men... :)
You are SO fun! I did it...it was fun and I tell you...my 2 year old used to think I was crazy, but now he knows! And I tell ya some thing else, nothing beats hearing my child laugh....at me when I dance. hahaha!
Thank you!
Just have to say that I REALLY enjoy your blog. I have also been following your sister Stephanies blog for awhile now. The way you write is so inviting..... I feel as though I know the two of you and your family. Watched Oprah yesterday and felt compelled to leave you a comment. You are blessed with an amazing family :)
I wanna know how you did that awesome head turn for that picture with the ever present nausea. I'm impressed! I can't do that on a good day without having to lay down for an hour after!
PS- everyone one needs a Wheezer around-especially if you need to hit something...
Oh man, Steel Magnolias is one of my fav movies. I start crying before the scenes...cause I know what's gonna happen.
Fav scene is at the grave site.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
M'Lynn: [crying] I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm fine.
[screaming]
M'Lynn: I'm fine! I can jog all the way to Texas and back, but my daughter can't! She never could! Oh God! I am so mad I don't know what to do! I wanna know why! I wanna know *why* Shelby's life is over! I wanna know how that baby will *ever* know how wonderful his mother was! Will he *ever* know what she went through for him! Oh *God* I wanna know *why*? *Why*? Lord, I wish I could understand!
[in a firm tone]
M'Lynn: No! No! No! It's not supposed to happen this way! I'm supposed to go first. I've always been ready to go first! I-I don't think I can take this! I-I don't think I can take this! I-I just wanna *hit* somebody 'til they feel as bad as I do! I just wanna hit something! I wanna hit it hard!
[continues sobbing]
Clairee: Here!
[grabs Ouiser by the shoulder and positions her in front of M'Lynn]
Clairee: Hit this! Go ahead M'Lynn, slap her!
Ouiser Boudreaux: [taken aback and confused] Are you crazy?
Clairee: Hit her!
Ouiser Boudreaux: Are you *high*, Clairee?
Truvy: [in a frightened tone] Clairee, have you lost your mind?
Clairee: We'll sell t-shirts sayin' "I SLAPPED OUISER BOUDREAUX!" Hit her!
Annelle: [in a scared tone] Ms. Clairee, enough!
Clairee: Ouiser, this is your chance to do something for your fellow man! Knock her lights out, M'Lynn!
Ouiser Boudreaux: [snatches away] Let go o' me!
Clairee: M'Lynn, you just missed the chance of a lifetime! Half o' Chiquapin Parish'd give their eye teeth to take a whack at Ouiser!
Loved this post! I think that werewolf in the video may be my teacher from 6th grade. Thanks for sharing.
I love Steel Magnolias as well, reminds me of a group of women I know and love. I too missed Nie on Oprah. Someone was kind enough to post that it was coming on at 12:30 p.m., however I have cable and not sattelite and missed it. If you find out where those of us who missed it can catch it let us know! Praying the nausea leaves quickly, that your pregnancy continues on happy and healthy! Many blessings
Just wanted to say "thanks" for a smile and a great start to my day! I work from home and was dancing around the kitchen smiling! Will have to share the song with me son (2 1/2) later today - I know he'll have fun too!
Also have to say that I loved the Oprah episode yesterday. Cried and cried and then made my husband watch it when he got home from the Yankee game last night. You are indeed blessed in your family. And we are all blessed that you and Stephanie share a piece of that love with us all through your blogs. Thanks for making us all smile! And for pulling us above the day to day grind to consider the beauty of everyday moments!
Thank you sooo much for that! I just had an awesome moment with my 23 month old son dancing to that song! He even went over to the vacuum cleaner (always out, not because I clean, but because he LOVES it,) and shook it and made it dance to the song. HILARIOUS. And I was truly happy for a few moments too. God was totally working through you right then. THANK YOU!
This post brightened my morning! you're so witty! Keep your chin up!
I love how all the men in that movie are hopeless and all the girls are these tough, amazing, beautiful southern women. It's the ultimate chick flick.
I love dancing with my boys. We do it almost daily when the melt downs of the afternoon begin and we all need a lift. I used to play "I gotta feeling" by the black-eyed peas, but then I realized it has a line in it that isn't appropriate...so maybe sticking to oldies is a safer bet.
ahhhhhhhhhh-hhhooooooooooowl!!! I always want to howl at the full moon myself!!! I have a Zevon album, I must dust it off and dance!!dance! dance!!! made me thirsty for a pina colada too! hehe Hey Courtney, what's the story about the BIG CLOCK???!! over the mantle and a bigger one where?!! HOPE YOU don't get that lockjaw anymore! UG!
I did it! This grandmother danced to the music ~ thanks for invigorating morning!
My two favorite quotes from "Steel Magnolias":
Dolly Parton:
"In a good shoe I wear a 7 but and 8 feels so good, I buy a 9."
Julia Roberts:
"Well, pink is 'ma signacha' color."
I often say this, but periwinkle is "MA signacha" color.
I've never commented before, but this post made me Laugh Out Loud. I too am a pregnant woman drowning in self pity these days...poor me!
i dont dare run in the living room and rummage through my old movies to dig out steel magnolias! thankl you for the warning :)
Have a warm sunny and lovely day my fellow pregnant momma
I, too, am pregnant and vomit-y. My 21 month old son thinks my throwing up is hilarious and mimics the sounds I make. In public. It isn't pretty.
I must admit I have never heard that song before, My Hubby probably has. I'll have to play it again when my sleeping angel wakes up. He is 17 months old now. It is fun to read your posts about the Chief my little guy does many of the same things!
I love Steel Magnolias. But unlike many I think it is a powerfully optomistic movie. It shows deep sorrow and sadness, yet thru it all we can survive and life continues and we can find enjoyment and happiness! Hmmm reminds me of another family! Yours!
You were awesome on Oprah yesterday. So was Stephanie and Christian! My Hubby even watched, I've told him all about your's and Stephanies blogs. Loved it!! And the whole "energy" in the house and the look Christian gave Stephanie! Priceless to those of us in the know!
Just watched Steel Magnolias the other night. It was on tv, and well, I'm a sucker for an emotional movie sometimes. Sobbed. Big huge tears dripping down my nose and I howled unabashedly. Love it.
About 9 years ago (junior year of college) my roommate and I were having a tough year. So anytime we needed a good cry, we'd look at each other and put in Steel Magnolias (or Beaches depending on how much of a cry was needed.) This "tradition" is still in use in my house. Especially after the birth of my son, I can cry at anything, commercials, the Learning Channel, anything. So... sometimes I hide it behind a movie. You gotta do whatever can get you through.
Good luck with this pregnancy, I hope that the sickness is gone soon so you can enjoy the experience as much as possible!
Thanks for the shout-out. We appreciate it in cubicle-land.
I couldn't dance in this cubicle, but I sure smiled! Thanks.
Thanks for the smile. I know I can always find one here.
This was a great post. Thanks.
I can't watch Steel Magnolias without bawling...and then laughing hysterically.
The funeral scene where Malynn is so upset, and then Claree offers up Weezah as a punching bag....heartbreaking and hilarious all at the same time!
I kind of wish there was a video of you dancing with The Chief ;)
I DID feel happy when we watched the video. My baby (14 months) and I danced our hearts out and it was fun!
A side note: I made the mistake of watching The Memory Keepers Daughter when I was 8 months pregnant. I cried so hard that my husband came in from the other room to see what was wrong...when I couldn't stop, he got really worried. To this day, I can't even THINK about the movie without getting choked up. Someone suggested that I read the book and I gasped in horror. Way too much to take in in a pregnant state.
Terms of Endearment does it to me too!! Yay me - this is my first comment!! Watched your family on Oprah with my 17 year old daughter and we both cried. Good tears - Stephanie is beautiful and you? You Vannaizing the clock was so you and I don't even know you! But it's you isn't it?
Funny story....my daughter told people at school whe was going to watch nie nie on oprah and they were getting all excited. She asked if they knew what she was talking about and they said yeah - nee nee from Housewives of Atlanta!!! Not so much!!
Thank you SO much for blogging!!
That song has very special meaning for me. My dad was a huge Warren Zevon fan. When I was young he used to turn Werewolves of London way up in the car, at home, wherever, and sing along at the top of his lungs. My friends always thought it was the COOLEST, FUNNIEST thing. Music was something that my dad and I shared. He died almost 5 years ago, when I was 24, and I still tear up and smile at the same time when I hear that song. And always crank the volume.
I can see the little dance in my head, and its really cute!
Did you ever wonder - was that a real LIVE station - or some old from years gone by stuck in its antique radio-ness station just waiting to release its final howl?
I do.
But then I just watched "Frequency" this weekend and believe old radios can transport us back to the past and we can talk to our deceased loved ones.
If you find that radio can channel those that have moved on and the Chief starts talking to my mom will you call me?
Well, if you had my number... and the Chief could talk.
And radios really could transmit to Heaven...
But call me k?
Oh, you don't know me.
That little fact?
HAVE A HAPPY DAY with many more hip shaking moments!
Oh, and you were a super star yesterday! NICE CLOCK! hahaha!
lo
that song makes me HAPPY.
i, too, am feeling the preggo blues. so, thanks.
know what i watched the other day and cried for 4.5 hours afterward? 'awakenings' - ever seen it? DON'T.
So fun... thanks for the pickup!! The scene in the movie that gets me is Sally at the cemetery with her girlfriends. I love the line from Dolly that goes something like this... Laughter through tears, my favorite emotion! It's mine too!
Does someone have a copy of nie on the Oprah show? Can is be posted? I would love to see it but missed it.
Ah-hoooo! Werewolves of London. That's some good cube music. =) Hope you are over the sicky parts very soon.
Love it. You are too funny.
Please BEG Oprah to put that segment online! My kiddos had dance right then, and we don't have TIVO. Dang it!
Seriously bummed, but so glad that her story was told :)
So its interesting to see everyone's thoughts about this post. Don't worry about self pity. When your emotions are so whacked out from pregnancy, you're bound to have those moments, but I do appreciate that you have a desire to be and stay happy! Steel Magnolias was put onto my "Can-not-watch-while-pregnant" List. But the part that gets me, is the image of her son crying with Shelby passed out somewhere else in the house. I can't even imagine the fear he was feeling and the fact that you don't know how long she's been out and how long he's been there crying for his mama...Anyway. Not allowed when hormones are high. I'm glad that you share your tender mercies and the joys that you find daily. Thank you for sharing them with so many people you don't know.
(((((dancing & howling)))))
Wendy
mommy to 7. 9 and under.
I'm so sorry you have to deal with all day sickness during your pregnancies. That's just no fun and you probably deserve to feel all the self-pity that you're feeling. However, I think it's great that you find the tender mercies and fun things to give you some relief as well. I had never heard that song before and it was quite fun to watch that old video. I can't remember the details of Steel Magnolias, but I do recall never wanting to watch it again. It was just too sad!
Interesting tender mercy of my own last night: I had some miserable flu symptoms crop up suddenly around 12:20am when I was reading some of your past comments about Nie's appearance on Oprah. I had TiVo'ed the episode and planned to watch it today. But then I went down to watch it in the middle of the night after all the drama in the bathroom. Well, it turned out that it had been erased somehow. But the re-broadcast had just started at 12:37am and I was able to re-record it while watching it beginning at 12:44am! Can the Spirit prompt you to record Oprah?! Hmmm...I don't know, but I'm thankful that it worked out.
I agree that Nie looked beautiful. Your whole family was awesome cheering her on in the background. I also loved the clock. And I just wish that her segment had been much longer. :)
I think most of the reason why I cry watching Steel Magnolias is because of the music. I thought I was the only one who sobbed hysterically when M'Lynne goes to pick up her grandson! And as if the music isn't powerful enough, the sight of him running to her just does me in. If you're like me, and music just induces emotion like a waterfall, make sure to stay away from Terms of Endearment.
I was so captivated watching you all yesterday on Oprah. I wanted to reach through the screen and hug Nie, oh what an amazing soul she is! I can't get over her grace and delicateness. She has taught the world so much, and I admire you both for sharing your stories. Thank you :)
I love the scene in that movie where she tells sally Field to hit weezer. I makes me laugh outloud everytime. you are a trooper Courtney and you looked absolutly stunning on Oprah, you should feel proud about that. I too hope your queezyness faulters fast... Love ya
Tif
Ok so this has nothing to do with your recent post. I think you need to change your header because your gorgeous brown hair is so much better! Oh and it was amazing to see you all on Oprah, what an inspiration you all are ecspecially Stephanie!
Can I just say that you rock! One you are hilarious, two you say all the right things and make me want to come live right beside you and your family is awesome. Congrats on baby #2. And though I can't leave a message on Stephanie's blog she was beautiful on Oprah. Thanks for the music, it got me and my husband moving this morning before work!
Okay, the weresolf guy looks like one of the cavemen from the GEICO commercials. Funny! They used to have those sour hard candy balls at the Motherhood Maternity stores. They worked for my nausea. Hang in there...won't it be sooo worth it?
Oh Court,
I think you are much more amazing, lovely and happy than you give yourself credit for. Those hormones like to play tricks on our brains, don't they? Curse them! You surely are admirable AND darling. Perfect combination if ya ask me? Feel better Ms. Fabulous.
p.s. Do not be embarassed about "the clock" thing. You made us the audience AND Oprah laugh. how many people can say that; "I made *Oprah* laugh!" I at least know of one now. ;)
p.p.s. When did The Chief turn into a little man? (the pics on the tractor) He is so stinkin cute!
Totally agree with the statement about happy people. So true it hurts.
We are dancing with you in Aptos, California!!
Steel Magnolias?
Never watched it; however, I cried at the end of Hot Fuzz. You see, Sgt. Nicholas Angel was battling half of the town with all types of weaponry upon a white stallion.
This is when Danny Butterman realizes that his dad was involved and instead of shooting him, discharges his entire firearm in the air yelling, "Aaaaagggghhhhh!" while Nicholas Angel and Simon Skinner battle it out in the minerature village...at the beginning he had on this shiny helmet...
if it makes you feel the teensiest bit better, you do not, at all, look like roadkill. you look great!
cw
As a diabetic Mommy of two boys, Steel Magnolias has a different meaning for me. It reminds me of how blessed I am to have my children. It also reminds me that it's very important for me to take good care of myself. That means I have to keep my blood sugar levels under control so that I will be healthy and alive to watch my children grow up. I bawl like a baby when I watch that movie. It is just one of those movies that you get drawn into and you can't turn it off, no matter how sad it is.
On a happier note...I loved seeing you all on Oprah. Nie and Christian looked great...and I loved your clock waving! I was a little surprised that Nie didn't share about her faith because it is such an integral part of who she is. I wondered if they edited that stuff out or something. Did they? I wish that the whole hour was dedicated to Nie because her story is so amazing and there is so much more to tell. Maybe next time...
You have an amazing family!
When I'm pregnant, even commercials can make me cry.
I saw the title of this post on my blogher board and I thought, "has to be Mormon". I was right! You are hilarious and perfect! love ya!
That picture of you is beautiful. And Werewolves of London is excellent. Don't ever watch that movie again. (for me, it's Terms of Endearment.)
Did you watch the opening scene of The Office last night? A pregnant Pam throws up in her trash can at her desk, which sets off a chain reaction of vomiting workers...I had to pee I was laughing SO HARD.
The movie Awakenings, with Robert DeNiro is a HUGE no-no for me to watch. I can't sit through even part of it without embarrassing myself with sobs and dry heaves. It's that horrific. It's one of the only two times I almost left (ran out of) a movie theater. The other time was during The Blair Witch Project, which scared me so much, I was entertaining the other movie goers with my shrieks.
No, I don't do well in theaters.
I love reading your posts about pregnancy. I am due at the end of April with my 5th & I can't seem to find happiness either. I'm such a grumpy, frumpy mom and wife & I'm driving myself nuts! Thank you for making me feel like someone else feels the same way. This too shall pass! (right?) :)
Thank you for sharing your self-pity. My life is not perfect and I can relate much better to someone who's life isn't perfect, either!
I listen to the oldies like it's my job, but make up the lyrics when I can't decipher them myself. And Court, (I took the liberty) I thought it was Werewolves of THUNDER until I read this. I feel so silly and yet...so me.
My kids thank you for the dance party. And thank heaven for tender mercies!
thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it is snowing at my house this morning, which is btw in my opinion just as bad as hurling hot enchiladas so i *really* needed that dose of werewolves in london!!! rock on!
I just found your blog and I love it! I can relate to your pregnant moments so well:)
I'm new to this blogging thing, it's like i'm snooping into someone elses really cool interesting life. it's a great change from crappy diapers. as an artist i have very much been in a funk since the whole exhausting two under two baby stage....this blogging thing is really cool and i'm finding myself slowly getting inspired again. thanks
I am new to reading your posts, andam sad that you get very sick during your pregnancy. I have to say I am the same, not hooked up to an IV, but sick the min. I wake up to the min. I go to bed fr 10 months. It is so HARD!! I am generally a positive person until I am pregnant, and then I am the worst person to be around. I hate it, but there's always the light at the end of the tunnel. It's nice to hear your stories while pregnant.
