Meltdowns and such

This weekend I had two meltdowns. The first of which began Saturday morning while Hays was gone to play golf. I got up and got dressed to go and buy some pants for work. It was hot out, so I wanted to wear jeans and a short sleeved shirt. Well, after trying on some shirts from last spring that I was sure I could wear this early in the pregnancy, I realized that I am bigger EVERYWHERE. So my cute shirts no longer looked cute, just too small. I started to feel so GROSS. Now I know it's healthy to get bigger and I am okay with that, I just wasn't prepared to face it this early. SO, not only did I buy some more pants, but I got some cute maternity shirts, too. It made me feel a lot better to have clothes that I can actually feel comfortable in! Hays wasn't too excited about me spending a little extra money, but I told him when his body changes this much he could spend all the money he wants on clothes. He seemed to agree with me then.

Meltdown number 2 began on Sunday when we got home from Sunday lunch. I decided that it would be necessary to completely clean our house because it hadn't been cleaned in about a month and we won't be able to clean next weekend. It seemed like everywhere I looked, all I could see was dust or dog hair. And Daisy smelled RIPE. And the carpet had these "mystery droplings" on it that needed to come up. SO, what I thought would be an hour of cleaning turned into about 4 hours of cleaning, with Hays cleaning also. I talked to a friend on Saturday who said she was cleaning her baseboards. I think she is in the "nesting" phase of her pregnancy. This made me look at my baseboards, which I realized were disgusting! Hays was not happy however, when I asked him to clean them. I would have done it myself, but I was in the process of scraping week-old burnt on gunk from the smooth top stove. He did agree with how dirty they were, though. We got a lot of cleaning done, but not without lots of obsessing and nagging on my part. I had to clean the bathtub twice because it just didn't look clean enough! I had Hays move the shower curtain rod up a few inches, and in the process the paint came off the wall in those places. So THEN I have to break out the "Waterfall Mist" paint and paint the bare spots on the wall. I am lucky to have a husband that puts up with me! He even vaccuumed the furniture, the stairs, and steam-cleaned the "mystery droplings!"

I wrecked my back in the process of all the kneeling and scrubbing, which caused the mini-crying spell I had later. Oh, the JOY of pregnancy hormones.

To satisfy those who I love, who read the blog and actually comment, I will put up a belly pic as soon as I can remember to get Hazer to take one!
