On sleep, in-laws, and cars
Mar. 9th, 2007 08:43 amSo now that I have ditched the requirement of sleeping on my side, I am getting much better sleep and no butt pain. Back-sleeping, how I love thee. Of course I am still waking up like clockwork somewhere around 4am and being awake for an hour or so until I drop off again, but since I'm not waking up in pain it doesn't seem as bad. It's kind of a throwback to the first trimester.
Anyway, it's a good time for thinking. Like this morning, I was thinking that we are going to Florida to see the in-laws soon, and I don't have warm-weather clothes! Oops, major oversight on my part. Heh. I mean, I have LOTS of warm-weather clothes, I just can't wear them anymore. Heh. So I suppose I should at least get one pair of lightweight pants and/or some shorts or something in case it's especially hot. I can wear jeans if it's not terribly hot but I will be in Florida, dang it, and I want to wear something summery!
I thought about wearing a bunch of dresses but I really don't need to give Jen's mom the wrong idea. Heh. We'll see what happens. Really I just keep thinking about a couple of days of soaking in the pool and trying NOT to think about a couple of days of Jen's mom being really critical of Jen. Usually it just bothers me but lately it's been REALLY bothering me. Like all things kid, it sends me into major overdrive. The idea that Abuela will trashtalk my kid's mommy in front of her just reduces me to a big old pile of weeps. Sucktacular.

In funnier news, I have had a rental car all week because my car's bumper is being fixed from the rear-ending a while back. I'm used to driving crappy cars and always get excited about rental cars because they have OPTIONS. I'd never had a car with options before. Well now I have this totally jacked-up 2007 car with 4K miles on it, and I handed it over and got this crap-ass Mitsubishi with 27K miles on it. It was such a bizarre role reversal, and I MISS MY CAR!
At least I get to pick my car up this morning. YAY!!
