1759 pretty is as pretty does

Saucy Scale: 10

Last week I had a pleasant surprise.  My skin has that actual "pregnant glow" to it.  Long gone are those 1st Trimester breakouts.  My skin actually looks really nice and healthy.  Even with my 5 minute psuedo make-up routine, my skin looks nice again.  My vanity is pleased.

It’s a good thing that I’ve got my pretty back, b/c I’m suffering from a nice case of utter exhaustion.  Seriously, I have NOTHING left.  I get up with the children in the morning & then I pass out on the couch while they veg out in front of children’s programming on Noggin.  We run some sort of errand (or have a lunch date) and then I seriously pass out from exhaustion.  The boys and I take a 3 hour nap and then we wait for TBU to get home from work.  It’s a very pathetic life I lead these days.

I’ve got my rescheduled 3 hour glucose this coming Tuesday morning.  So, I’ve been trying to get nice and hydrated in anticipation of all those vein pokes.  (I’m trying to skip those nice big iced teas I so adore from Panera.  It’s tough.)  That and they ordered me to have a 3 day carb feast prior to the test.  Honestly, there’s not a whole lot of food which sounds good to me right now.

I should write earlier in the day…before my bedtime.   .

5 Things That Make Me Happy:

1. Our house is nice & clean.  (Supposedly there was a realtor viewing today, but there was no evidence that they actually showed up.)
2. My husband is so supportive of me.  He’s been more than patient, encouraging, & helpful of me as I’m losing anything resembling energy. 
3. My children are my primary form of entertainment.  Nothing makes me laugh like they do.
4. I think I’m ready to do some large-scale cooking this week.  We’ll see what happens.
5. I went to the Carter’s Outlet last week.  Thanks to their sale, I allowed myself to make my first "pink" purchase.  Actually, I found some cute things for both babies.  Yay!
