I'm eating an orange... (Randoms)

[fuzzylogic]

My randoms: It's spring break, and it couldn't have come at a better time. But now I get to travel with my band kids next week while (very early) pregnant. So we'll see how that goes lol.

[jumpingpuddles]

I think ms is on it's way here. I agree that orange is the flavor of choice for me right now. And all the muffins and bread. My oldest called me out for having pie for breakfast and a muffin at lunch, and I wanted to tell her right then and there so she'd knock it off with the "it's not fair" bs.

I can't wait until we are out so I can get all the sympathy from everyone. Another few weeks at least.

[whatsit]

I lost my glasses during my nap. Had to stumble my way upstairs to put in my contacts and find them. :S

[hobbesgal]

All I want for dinner is steak, eggs, and fried tomatoes. Put it in me meow.

My randoms:

Yes to cuties and oranges!! Ive been eating them like crazy the past two weeks.

Im in the car in traffic trying to get back home from a weekend in Dallas. On the way there and now on the way back traffic has not been our friend. Its giving me more time to research babymoon options though. Looking at Hawaii right now, but its more expensive than what I would like to spend right now.

Nausea began today, but I kicked that bitches ass with some saltines, sour patch kids and ginger ale.

I just woke up from a nap. I have been awake for 3 hours total today... At least i don't notice nausea when I'm sleeping.

this is me when my H is home. He keeps complaining that I'm in bed all day.

Today I have been cleaning and that is pretty much it. Oh I did watch National Lampoon's Vacation. That movie takes me back to when I was little. Just when I think I am having a bad vacation I think about that movie:) I have a long list of things that need to be done in the next 9 months and they aren't all easy tasks, that is why I have made a list:)

[countingthestars]

Its been a super lazy day. I made DH go to taco bell because I really wanted tacos and we didn't have everything to make them. I could totally eat more!

I like them, but no way I'd ever buy them for me. I think if you have both the body type and general style to pull them off then they are awesome (I have neither.)

Doooo it!

I just impulse bought this at Target because I only want to wear these skirts for the next 9 months:

[teambrink]

I was already all about maxi skirts and dressws before getting pregnant, they will be an absolute staple for me in pregnancy!! I need breathable materials and clothes for this Texas heat!

Holy crap, all you ladies suffering from ms - have you tried drinking coconut water?! I was dry heaving my way through grocery shopping today and grabbed a bottle. It was instant relief (but has come back since).

Never heard of using coconut water for ms. I will have to look in to that. It hit me today for the first time.

Coconut water doesn't taste like coconuts imo. It tastes like electrolytes and health (that's what I was telling myself so I didn't turn myself off to it).

I would kill for a chocolate doughnut right now. Trying to decide if it's worth getting up 15 minutes earlier to hit up the bakery tomorrow.

You are a girl after my own heart.

[rztrumpet]

Very little nausea here, but OMG, I could sleep 14 hours a day and still be exhausted! (And with a 1 year old, and a crap ton of work to do, I can really only afford 6-8 hours of sleep before everything falls to crap!) I may or may not have slept somewhere between 13 and 14 hours on Sat...

On a completely random, I hate the phrase "knocked up."
"rztrumpet is pregnant" yay! I'm glad for her
"rztrumpet is knocked up again" what's wrong with her? Doesn't she know how birth control works?
Brought to you by my aunt, who did not have quite the reaction I was hoping for.


And now I want donuts!

[risscaboobs]

I bought a gallon of orange juice yesterday. And drank like 4 glasses. It was excellent.

[risscaboobs]

Mock! Yeah! Ing! Yeah! Bird! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!

I have another 4 bus rides to look forward to for guard competitions on weekends over the next month.

Thankfully they are all close but the last two for championships are both at least an hour away.

Schoolbus bumpiness while pregnant especially now that the nausea has started full time... Yea, really looking forward to that :/

We get a charter bus, at least, and I know it'll be smooth. We don't have buses at our school so I count myself lucky. Except charters are REALLY FREAKING EXPENSIVE. I'll be nearing the end of 5w at that time, so hopefully there won't be any nausea. Last time I was pregnant I was practically narcoleptic. I hope to make it through the symphony without nodding off lol.

[sunfrogger88]

fuzzylogic Lucky! The ride back last week was torture on my bladder between pot holes and normal school bus bumpiness.

I got a school bus from the main district (we're a charter) for my orchestra back in the fall. It was cramped, there wasn't enough room for 35 kids and their instruments (they pretty much played Jenga with the basses to get them in there), and we thought we were all going to die because the driver was a speed demon. I thought the thing was going to rattle apart. She was doing 10 over!

So I swore as long as I could afford to, which means they have to raise the money but whatevs, that we would get a good bus and not feel like we were going to die. Besides, there is so much percussion equipment that has to go and we don't have a trailer for that or the large instruments. Might as well travel in style! But it's a big almost four-day trip to Dallas!

Last week at district band contest, kids from this other school kept trying to get on our charter bus because it was so pretty XD

[sunfrogger88]

Lucky charter school then! I know how hard it is to fit anything on school buses... Ugh. Especially percussion equipment! We do ok with our flags, a parent with a truck brings the floor mat and we have no backdrops this year!

I'm sure it will be a blast though!

Less lucky and more like I had no other options until this year. We have been open for just over 10 years and only this year did the district give us the option of using their (shitty, overpriced) buses. But you can only use them between 10 and 2. So it limits me greatly. I'm a bus and van rental pro. Once, for an honor band with about 6 children, I rented a nice soccer-mom minivan lol. It was comfy! But so different from driving the Honda Fit that I own

But those charter buses run $700-915 depending on which contest I'm going to. Transportation costs for this trip are $6K. It's insane. But again, no other choice. But so, so worth it!

I am really looking forward to the trip -- the Symphony, Medieval Times, House of Blues, Hard Rock, the Galleria Mall (it's got an ice-skating rink and the kids are just so excited), and Six Flags. I can't really do anything at Six Flags, but I hate roller coasters anyway so I'll just eat ice cream and bathe in the sun lol.
