hello SGland. i thought i'd come out of hiding since people keep trying to friend me even though i haven't updated here in 3.5 mos.
so what has happened? while in OKC i got in a wreck the week before christmas and that caused a great big pain in the neck and extened my trip by about a month cause of having a crap insurance company and having to get my car fixed.
i turned 23....canon turned 2....ephraim turned 1....the hubby's tour in iraq got extended indefinately and he was just home for 2 weeks on R & R.
i'm good, the kids are good, the husband is good.
um....we decided to see our Rambler. i love 'er, but she just needs more time and money than we have at our disposal and we could use the extra money cause we are saving up for a downpayment on a honda odyssey (yep, i'm crossing over to the land of the minivans) and to pay for a homebirth. no, i am not pregnant yet, but i know i'm going to have at LEAST one more child and i refuse to give birth in the hospital again where they think that pregnant women are like faulty machines at constant risk of breaking down and therefore are put on a conveyor belt to be poked and prodded at by an almighty human mechanic who is either dismissing your concerns, patronizing you, or subjecting you to emotional black-mail just because you think a different way than they do. sigh....i've been reading way too much sheila kitzinger lately.
and yeah. that's pretty much it. i'm going shopping in raleigh tomorrow in hopes that i can find clothing that actually fits me. the next time i hear that BS avalanche: "oh you can wear anything cause you're so tiny!" i'm gonna be stabbing someone. no, actually i spent 6 hours on monday with the goal of finding a dress to wear to church on sunday and came home empty handed because everything is too big, and/or too long. pfft.
