HOT

  Apparently, it's been my word of the day. I try so hard to ignore the discomfort, but it's a heat that feels like it's literally pressing down on my entire body. When I get too warm, the baby pushes to the surface of my belly, tightening everything. I'm guessing it's his way of getting cooler. It's MY way of gettin' HOT! I've done pretty good, though. I haven't complained TOO much.

  Ronny & I managed to get some things done today. We now have rent completely taken care of for the month - woo hoo! We managed to eat at Ryan's for lunch, which was a nice treat. I love having lunch/supper with him. The conversation is never boring & we're both usually able to really enjoy the meal. I think it's good for us. After Ryan's, we filled the truck's tank (she was running really low) & then swung by GameStop for a few minutes. He's looking for a PSP so that he'll have something to do during the nights he works & while we're in the hospital for Michael's delivery. We don't have much longer! Our baby boy should be here by November 11!
< >< >Tioga Pawn was open when we went for Ronny's appt with the barber. He's found another gun he wants. (Of course.) :-) I don't mind at all. He asked me about it several time a month or so ago & I finally told him that as long as he keeps the spending under $1K, I don't mind! The only other stipulations are that bills are paid & there is food in the house. He works hard, so I think he really deserves to spoil himself with hunting gear (& just about anything else he really wants). He takes great care of the kids & me. I have no complaints. ♥
    The closer it gets to school, the more I want to start on more craft projects. It seems like I have several supplies here, but it's really not that much. Most of what I have is being held until I have the money to buy the rest of the supplies for certain projects. I'm almost out of ribbon, but I don't have the beads I want to add to the hairbows. I'm hoping that Ronny & I can get out Sunday morning & pick up a paper so I can keep an eye on the coupons for craft stuff. I think I'd be able to bring in a little bit of money if I could get some more of the hairbows, pillows, baby blankets, & baby cocoons made! That would be nice! I'd like to save up for an embroidery machine, but a car comes first. With this baby on the way (& our two older kiddos to transport, too), we really need the car (or a cross-over, whichever we find we like more).
  We're both getting more & more excited about Michael's arrival. Sometimes, I don't want to wait until November to hold our little boy, but I want him to be healthy & weighty enough that he doesn't have to spend the first several weeks of his life in the hospital. I want to be able to take him home as soon as he & I feel rested enough. Ronny & I have to buckle down on our baby list. We have a lot of purchases to make before this baby gets here!
    Well, I've got things to do around the house, so I suppose I'd better get off of here. Bummer. :-) &hearts
