Doesn't Christmas feel like an eternity away? We spent time with my family (including aunts & uncles & grandma) last night at Rockin R Ranch in Mesa. It was a lot of fun, but I was again feeling sick. Thankfully with the big group no one noticed. We had my sister Lyndsey spend the night with us, and this morning during breakfast I thought I might upchuck! I didn't, but I had a lot of errands planned for this morning and have accomplished nothing. All I can do is sleep to feel better, which means the kitchen is dirty, the laundry is piling up, and I haven't been to Target in far too long!
I accidentally told a few people at work since I have been feeling so awful & had to have an explanation for the constant green tinge of my face haha. I know the news will spread, so I am trying to convince Daniel that we need to tell our families soon. Christmas is still two months away! Since our doctor's appointment is in 6 days I am hoping to make it until then so we at least have some medical proof that I really am pregnant. We will only be 7 weeks by that time, and it just seems too early to be saying anything. If something were to happen I would be devastated! And then to have everyone know about it...I am not sure I am strong enough to handle that.
Oh well - it won't be like this the entire pregnancy, right? I have a lot more respect for all the mothers out there who have gone the distance & lived to tell the tale.
So I have to tell this hilarious joke that I found online & still cannot explain why I think it's so funny. It has definitely cheered me up at a time when I have needed it!
"A frog goes into a bank and approaches the teller. He can see from her nameplate that her name is Patricia Whack. So he says: 'Ms. Whack, I'd like to get a loan to buy a boat and go on a long vacation.' Patti looks at the frog in disbelief and asks him how much he'd like to borrow. The frog says $30,000. The teller asks his name and the frog says his name is Kermit Jagger, his dad is Mick Jagger, and that it's ok, he knows the bank manager. Patti explains that $30,000 is a substantial amount of money and that he will need to secure some collateral against the loan.
She asks if he has anything he can use as collateral.
The frog says, 'Sure. I have this,' and produces a tiny pink porcelain elephant, about half an inch tall, bright pink and perfectly formed. Very confused, Patti explains that she'll have to consult with her manager and disappears into a back office. She finds the manager and says, 'There's a frog out there called Kermit Jagger who claims to know you and wants to borrow $30,000. And he wants to use this as collateral.' She holds up the tiny pink elephant. 'I mean, what in the world is this?'
The bank manager looks back at her and says, 'It's a knick-knack, Patti Whack. Give the frog a loan. His old man's a Rolling Stone.' "
Hahaha ~ well until next time!
