Freebies my ass

So being prego I decided to take advantage of some great freebies and samples...mistake.
I wont name the companies but let me say this...

1. Largest producer of baby food
2. Largest producer of any over the counter item you buy in a drug store, diapers and baby products
3. Your baby probably slept, ate, rode in the car and played in their products

So...Some of the well known pregnancy sites I joined has areas you could sign up for freebies/samples. So I did...now I have...

Remodeling companies
Magazines
Online Colleges
Home Insurance
Auto Insurance
Steak of the month
Grocery Stores
Credit Card
Department stores

FLOODING my email and phone all day at all hours with "offers"

I guess thats what I get. These sites said they didnt sell my info...obviously they did.

Oppsie

Today has not been my day. I am suffering from sever pregnancy brain. Don't believe me?

I forgot my purse this morning....
I had to drive back home for my purse and the papers I needed for a design meeting today...

I drove into a telephone pole....
I am not kidding. I have never had an accident. I was driving home to retrieve the above items and then next thing I know I am heading for a giant pole. My car hopped the curb. My front fender has a small dent and all the plastic wheel guard came off along with the inner guard in the wheel well. Opps......
I was fine, car will be fine after some new bolts get stuff attached back down where they are supposed to be. I am fine..I think. I called my midwife and she said I should be fine. I was supposed to stay home in bed today but I am on a deadline, so here I am at work chugging water like she said, and sitting my arse down. At least I cant run into any more poles at my desk.

Seriously I have no idea how it happened. I am so out of it lately. I am tired, cranky..did I say tired? I know this happens to preggo women all the time. Good luck having a conversation with me, because guess what..I cant follow. Jeez and I have a long way to go.

Arrrg

So we have a pretty large house. It is 5 bedrooms. We have two downstairs one which is ours and one is our office. We have three bedrooms upstairs. We are still fixing our house and decided that the baby will be going into the office for at least the first 2 years. Our children are very loud when they are upstairs. So we have to move our office.
Right now our office furniture does not match, and it doesn't bother me because no one sees it. However we are changing our dining room into the office since well...we never use it.
I am a huge fan of IKEA and I found the perfect desks for the room, that match the colors and everything. Only we don't have an IKEA here and the shipping alone was $200. The two closest ones are Woodbridge (almost in DC) and the other is over 250 miles away.
Maybe I can get my great brother in law to go pick them up? I am hoping so I dont want to drive 145 miles just to get the desks however I sure as hell am not paying that much in shipping.
I feel like a spending spree is about to happen. The kids starting school, a baby, things still needing to be done to the house. I can see all our cash trickling away..oh well..shopping is fun.

Little too much..

This weekend was a ride. Friday I was tired. My work load is H..E..A..V..Y. That night my sister, her husband, my niece and two nephews came to visit for the weekend. Friday night we went to bed around 3am. Saturday we went to bed at almost 5 am.

I had a ton of fun with my family and our friends that came by, but I have felt horrible all weekend. I cant eat, I am tired, my back is killing me.

5 weeks pregnant and I feel as if my life force has been removed from my body. I am thinking of finding a dark quiet room, buying a delivery food service and hiding for the next 7-8 months. I might as well since, I cant concentrate on a conversation, I fall asleep mid conversation, I can no longer cook anything, carry anything, no where anything is or be productive. Its pathetic.

Don't get me wrong I am very excited and happy about being pregnant. However I had this misconception that getting up and going to work would be a breeze. Keeping up with everything would be cake..now I would love to eat cake...but the thought of ingesting anything makes me green.

I thought it would be easier. I thought by now I would be a pro. Instead I just want to crawl under a rock and have no stimulation what so ever. No sounds, no smells, no moving...nothing..it would be bliss.

I am hoping when I reach that 12 week mark it all slips away and I am once again my happy, cheerful, non evil, person.

Fog

I feel like atreyu in the never ending story, when he has to face himself to get to the last Oracle.....I am feel as if I am walking in a fog.

Today at work I could not concentrate. I was so tired and people would speak to me and I would hear them, but could not comprehend what they were saying to me.
I do not remember being this tired with my first two.
All I think about is a nap..all day...every second, I am like a 14 year old that just discovered that people have sex..only its not sex for me, its NAPS.
Someone, somewhere is taking a nap, they are relaxed in a quiet place loving that foggy silence as they drift off. I WANT IT! I want to take it from them and horde it like I am an angry dragon.

I fantasize about naps, I day dream about naps, I would trade almost anything for a 45 minute nap.

Today I was beat, I have a heavy work load right now and my brain is not concentrating. When I got home I didn't take a nap because that's what I have been doing for the last 2 weeks and I feel guilty.

We went to watch the new Harry Potter movie. Something I have been waiting for a long while. Only even though I watched the movie, and I wasn't asleep, I don't remember much of it. I was in a haze. I have come to the conclusion in a few months I will be completly brain dead due to being preggers.

The last few days my thoughts have also been drifting to my grandmother who just passed away. I am not able to go pay my condolences and it is depressing. My grandmother was an amazing women, but she deserves a whole post of her own which will come this weekend.

I am off for a bath..and bed...oh sweet sweet slumber.
