Since I was late on Day 5′s Thankful Challenge I am going to go ahead and do day 6′s (today’s) before I get sidetracked and have to do two in one day again! I can blame it all on Duncan. Isn’t that what I had a kid for anyway?

Let me see here – I am so thankful right now that it is November 10th and it is just about 70 degrees out!

Hello, this is not fall weather!

When putting Duncan down for his nap I was actually sweating. This house is super IHOP warm. We have been lighting a fire at night and in the warmer to ward off the chilliness the creeps in.

My thoughts on that? I think that Jamie is just excited that he got the woodstove so well done that it is working a lot more efficiently.

Who is complaining about 70 degree weather in almost the middle of November? Not I, said this chick.

Getting so close to the end and I was hoping that the blood pressure would have stayed level! However, whatever happens happens and we’ll just roll with the punches.

A tiny bit over three weeks and we’ll be considered full term. That is super excited. Full term on April Fool’s Day!

On unrelated news, the weather is finally getting warmer. We were in the 50s today and almost into 60! In fact, tomorrow is set to be 60. Of course there is rain coming with it but it is so nice not being freezing cold! I don’t mind winter but you just can’t beat the sunshine!

These are the days when I miss being in California with the weather there. When the cold you have to deal with is 50 degrees. In Indiana 50 degrees is like summer!

On another note though, we only have a few days until the next ultrasound as well as Jeremy’s eye surgery. I hope all goes well with his surgery. Poor baby!

I’ll take what we can get with the warm days coming to an end but geesh, stop playing with my emotions!

On another note, I think Shaina’s cat has run away. This cat disappears often but usually comes up somewhere in the house.  Well, she hasn’t shown up in awhile now. Always when someone leaves. She will probably end up turning up somewhere though.

Here’s hoping!

This morning our internet also went out for about three hours. Thankfully it just came back on a bit ago so we can all begin working again.

Amazing how much we depend on the internet. It goes out and we have nothing to do! I started playing The Sims 3 but I just wasn’t in the mood.

Three more days until the ultrasound. Jamie got it all sorted this morning when they called and now we just have to go in there. Two adults are allowed in so that means Mom gets to go in as well. Nice!

Now, if you’ll excuse me I have to throw my sweater on and get to work!

Another exciting thing is that the weather is actually nice today. Unfortunately, by the time the 12th rolls around it’s going to be back in the 5o’s and raining. Of course.

Oh well, I do like the rain and cooler weather. As long as the ultrasound goes good, I’ll be fine.

It feels like Christmas jitters when you’re younger. You just want it to get here, you count down the days, of course it makes it go slower but you don’t mind.

I do mind! Hurry!

Did you notice the layout change? It’s simple. I love it.

Imagine in a month or so we’re going to be in the 20s and hoping for 30-40 degrees. I just can’t believe it.

I also can’t believe Christmas is almost here. I know, I know, no one wants to hear it. I sure don’t want to think about it. I love the holidays but love them more when I have money!

On other news we now have nine days until our first ultrasound. The doctor tried to hear the heartbeat with the doppler for the second time and couldn’t find it. Of course, from what I’ve been told by family and online, it is way too early. They tried at 8 weeks as well. What is the baby the size of? A raspberry. Throw that onto I’m not a small woman and how the hell do you expect to find that itty bitty heartbeat?

Of course at 11 weeks when they tried I got kind of upset. They want us to come in on the 8th, 4 days before the ultrasound. We’re going to call and tell them we have a flat tire and can’t get out there. I don’t want to sit there a week later and not hear it and get upset. What good is it going to do 4 days before the ultrasound?

Waste of gas it would be! Considering it is about 45 minutes drive. Pssh.

Now depending on where you look the baby is the size of a lime or a fig. Who knows which of these sites are correct but it’s amazing how fast they grow.

If only I could get some of that pregnancy heat that people talk about. Then I’ll be good…

We knew it had to come to an end sometime but I didn’t think our time together would have been so brief.

Two days is hardly enough time to get to know each other, dear friend.

Now your evil sibling is coming to take your place soon and we will have to wait a couple days to see each other again.

To that I say bcbsnc! Jibberish is what you have made me resort to.

Don’t spend too much time away dear warmth, I don’t like your sibling the cold.

Oh man I just remembered I have to put my Google Analytics code in. I’ll have to do that in a minute.

I put in a request to join the IronCupcake for my cupcakes and to maybe get Frosted Fantasie some traffic and people looking at it. Hopefully I can join in on February’s IronCupcake challenge whic his coffee. I have just the idea for it as well.

It’s starting to warm up weather wise thankfully. It’s going to dip again real soon which I’m not looking forward to. So much to do with so much cold to go around! Looking forward to spring time, that’s for sure.

Everyone went to bed early so that we could all wake up early the next morning. I wanted to see how my littlest brother looked when he left because 7 year olds are super cute when they’re dressed up. So, I think I ended up turning the tv off and going to bed at about 10 or 10:30pm. Pretty early. The next thing I know, my brother, Trevor, is in my room saying the town alarm is going off and it is pouring down rain with lightning and thunder going off like crazy. So, half awake I’m saying things like, “Wait..what? What’s going on?” I look out our window and instantly wake up..oh my gosh! It was storming like crazy!! I couldn’t believe it. We were expecting rain but not severe thunderstorms! So, I go downstairs to go to the bathroom and get scared because my other brother, Colton, is downstairs going to the bathroom. He had shut up all the windows and we stood in the living room looking out amazed that we couldn’t even see across the street! It was a pretty horrible storm. The news was saying the lightning was hitting the ground, the thunder was shaking the house, and the rain was so heavy that it was making the house leak in places it hadn’t leaked before!

Then it happened…

My brother was standing there and Jamie was standing near the archway to the great room. Jamie turned the light on to see and the turned it off. All of a sudden, Colton jumps onto the couch and screams, “OH MY GOD SOMETHING JUST BIT ME!!!” I thought he stood on something and was like, “What?” until all of a sudden, I swear 30 seconds later Jamie grabs his foot going “I just got bit by something too! GET OUT OF THE LIVING ROOM!” I wanna stop here in my tale for a second. Isn’t it cute how loved ones think of you while they are in intense pain?

So, he had to see what the hell had bit them both so quickly. He turned the light on again..looked up at the light. There is about 30 hornets flying around the flipping light in the living room! ONE IN THE MORNING! We have to deal with this storm waking everyone up, the town alarm going off, and now hornets in the house!!

It was freaking insane. I had to go wake up my mom to ask her where her bug spray was. Of course she was half awake and didn’t quite understand what was going on! I had to be pretty pushy to get her going! haha That part was funny. So she comes down with some bug spray (that isn’t going to kill them) and Colton and Trevor are stuck in the Dining room and Jamie, Mom, and I are stuck in the kitchen! So we were stuck there for a good while. Then the lights go out! Everyone was freaking out!

Finally, Trevor decides to put on the only shoe we could find (did I mention no one had anything on their feet but my mom? All bare feet!) and stomp on them. Of course the only shoe he found was my moms boot. Only one of them. It was comical.

Jamie then gets an idea then. We have those sticky fly strips..and he takes one and says he’s going to put it by the light in the great room. Then when everyone gets safe, he’s going to turn off the light in the living room and turn the light on in the great room. They’ll fly towards that light and hopefully get stuck on the sticky thing. Thankfully..it ended up working. I didn’t see how many there were until this morning. That whole fly sticky paper is filled with hornets! I was scared to come downstairs!!

Early this morning was hell. I felt sorry for the kids! They had to wake up and go to school after all of that.

Sorry this was so long and drawn out. I couldn’t skip anything!!
