Living and Loving Life in the Heartland

This has been such a long week, but I really haven't done much.  I actually am tired today!  I never thought I would be happy to be tired.  I only worked from 8:30-11:15 and I had a really easy morning so it is interesting that I am tired.

The school I worked at this morning had their scholastic book fair going on.  It was really hard not to buy a (hundred) book(s).  I almost did.  But, I thought 'what if'.  I didn't because if something happened I really didn't want great brand new children's books lying around.  I also promised myself I wouldn't buy anything until I was done with the 1st trimester.  Also the nursery is still an adults guest room...so I really have no where to put anything now anyways........but those books smelled so new and looked so pretty and glossy and beautiful....and cheap!  Talk about self-control!

I kept books from my childhood.  I might pull them out this weekend and look through them.  They actually have served me well because in college I took children's lit for my degree and I used some of them for research projects.  I also had another class where we had to learn how to develop a classroom library on excel so that we could inventory books....again...they came in handy.

The one thing I did do is (my husband goes to hardware stores several times a week) have my husband pick up paint samples.  I believe I am going to paint the walls grey....if I have a girl I will pair it with a rose color in decor (I love grey and pink/rose) and if it is a boy...I will pair it with blue.  (maybe green...would grey and green look good together????) Rose and blue work for sure IMO.  That way I can transition the room without having to paint again....if I painted the walls pink...I would probably have to repaint later.  (grey and purple would look good together too)

I really want to go to bed right now, but my husband just painted my toe nails and I need them to dry before I get between the sheets....so I am wasting time....does it sound like I am killing time?  It probably does....ramble ramble ramble. 

Well that is all I have for now...



(((((P.S. Katie, from the Bailey Bunch.....I have been replying to your comments lately and you have not answered back...so I went back into my sent messages and everyone has 'no-replyblogger' on it.  So the reason you have not answered me is that you have not received them. I don't have your email and the 'reply' doesn't work.  This is sad because I have written you paragraphs....your blog is also locked so I couldn't look you up...sorry to say this in a public post...but I have no other way of telling you...I have not been ignoring.))))
