Things that are tweeking me lately:
- That Jordan Sparks song “No Air” – seriously that’s just a dumb song. What are you supposed to do with no air? DIE. That’s what people do without air. At the very least stop singing about not having air. Moron.
- Gas prices. I spent $55 to fill up the car yesterday. I almost cried. That’s more then 1/2 of a $100.00 that’s a lot of money. So the question is do I stop doing things because gas is expensive? Where do you draw the line – once it costs $75????
- Clothing. My options in maternity wear are a. you look like a whore, put your boobs away b. they were all out of clothes so I’m wearing this tent or c. did you just crawl out of bed?
- Sleepwear. This may be an overshare so grandpa, skip on to number 5. I don’t like stuff up around my neck when I sleep. At the same time I don’t like having my boobs (one or the other or both) exposed in sleep. Yesterday I woke up and Teddy was using one of my exposed boobs as a pillow. I don’t like this. What I really need is a top that’s tight enough to keep everything in the right place and also covers the belly – do you know what – that doesn’t exist.
- Madonna. Her not aging scares me. Justin Timberlake on the other hand is perfection.
- The FH and his spring travel season. I just want my damn husband home. IS that TOO MUCH TO WANT? I need him to carry and lift things and with him being away for so many straight weekends it means that the next 4 weekends he’ll want to do things like “golf” and “sleep in” because he “hasn’t been able to relax in months” and I want his damn help.
- The cats sleeping schedule. for being so well rested they accomplish NOTHING. I want to assign them stuff to do.
- Vacuum Cleaners. I think Babies R Us should add the Rumba robot vac to the stuff you can put on your baby registry.

I filled my Jeep from just under 1/2 tank Friday. $48.50. Can’t say I’m super impressed.
No words of advice for the clothing dilemma. Once you hit a certain point (at least for me), nothing fit. I resorted to sleeping in Jimmy’s t-shirts and walked around with one hand constantly on the bottom hem of any maternity shirts just to keep the belly covered. It was rather obnoxious.
Sucks the FH is gone again. Sucks even more that he’ll want to golf and sleep when he is done traveling.
As for Jordin Sparks? Can’t say I love that song. But, I DO feel bad that she’s on strict vocal rest due to her vocal chords bleeding. That’s gotta be freaky!
It was 68$ to fill my tank yesterday and then the car died. Bollocks.
I wear Mike’s big Tshirts to sleep in and XXXXXXXL pajama shorts when I’m this pregnant.
Cats are useless, uesless creatures. But oh so warm and cozy.
okay, i hate the song ‘no air’. i was wondering if it was just me that realizes the FIRST part OF the SONG sounds SO weird?
i drive 50 miles a day going to work (thank god i carpool or i might have had to quit my job because it didn’t pay the gas bill).
justin is yummie.
good luck with the clothing situation. i pretty much looked like i was going to yoga through the last few months of pregnancy! hahaha!
So freaking funny! I totally relate with #7, my cats do nothing all day and then find all the energy to run around the house while we are trying to sleep. Seriously, can they mop the floor yet because they do a really sucky job killing bugs that get in the house, they just play with them.
your “air” thing makes me giggle. when hubs and i were first dating, and sooooo in love and all that gobbledee gook, he would tell me that i was his “oxygen”… awwww! you’re crackin’ me up with the clothing. i remember it well.
