Off work and enjoying my freedom

Filed Under Nanny Job | Leave a Comment

I haven’t worked since Wednesday, which is the reason for the lack of posts lately. I normally post at work while the kid is sleeping. So I am kind of out of whack when I don’t work.

Don’t get me wrong–I’ve been enjoying my time off. Not really sure WHAT I have a four-day weekend for, but I am thankful to have it. Don’t look a gift horse in the mouth, I guess.

My issues with the indigestion have actually gotten better. I had a little bit last night, but I think that was my fault for eating two giant bowls of spaghetti with red pasta sauce. My newest “symptom” is this gross sore in my mouth. I will just leave it at that– it’s gross. Some type of canker sore that won’t go away. I have heard that any kind of sickness or issue is harder to get rid of during pregnancy and I am finding that to be true.

Yesterday I went to lunch with my also-pregnant friend Sarah. She is due on Feb 1st, and it’s also their first baby. She was supposed to find out what they were having a few weeks ago, but the doctors office keeps cancelling their 20-week ultrasound for various reasons, so it looks like they will be having more like a 24-week ultrasound.

Anyway, we ate at the mall food court. I wanted something plain, so I got Subway. She got a taco salad from Chevy’s and I spent the rest of the lunch coveting her food. It looked sooo good. My tastes change so much from one minute to the next. It’s so hard to find something to eat because of that.

Then we went to Motherhood and went on a huge shopping spree. Well, Sarah spreed more than I did. I got a Mr. Rogers-type zip-up sweater. I love sweaters in the winter. I like to have one good sweater that I can wear over everything. Also got a t-shirt, a track suit, and a dressy shirt. It’s so fun to have a “reason” to get all new clothes again in the fall. It makes me think of school clothes shopping, back when someone other than me paid for my wardrobe!
