I was reminded today that I haven't posted in a long dang time. Oops, sorry.
What's new? Gosh, not much, really. I'm a pretty happy camper!
Looking back, I see that i never updated folks on that gestational diabetes test. The test was nasty - wow, if you've never done this, seriously, don't make it a goal. It involved four blood draws in three hours after drinking sugar soda. Midway, there's a major sugar crash that made me want to curl up in a little ball on the floor and cry. Of course, I recovered, but golly, it wasn't fun. The good news is that I passed!
My feet, hips and butt hurt. Baby is sitting very forward, so when I curl back on my ass to ease it, I sit on my tailbone. Awesome, right? Not so much. I've broken my tailbone three times, thus it's whacked out and not able to be sat upon. My feet and hips hurt cuz I'm pregnant. *shrugs* These will all be just fine in December... uh, maybe January. Frankly, this IS the worst and I don't have anything to complain about.
I'm doing well on what's going in my mouth. I'm avoiding fast food really well, eating healthy breakfasts, lunches and dinner. I've stayed the same weight during my pregnancy and at 33 weeks, I think that's pretty good. Doctor isn't worried about my weight in the slightest - though those of you that have met me know that, seriously, it's a good thing that I'm not gaining. The last ultrasound I had showed this boy in baby pike position - which seemes to be a favorite position for him. His head is down but so are his feet, lol. He likes nibbling his toes!
Had a tantrum at Dane a few weeks ago that actually had an effect. I was feeling ignored and hideous. Post tantrum, I have tummy-rubs (which also accomplished Dane figuring out that my moaning and groaning about being kicked really was about PAIN), being cuddled and reminded that I am attractive, even feeling like a freaking blimp. Today, of course, I had my first serious craving - frozen hostess cupcakes - which he both authorized and purchased. He got kissed for such good behavior.
The blonde started the year off poorly, missing three homework assignments, and thus failing her Choir (who the hell fails CHOIR?) and Lit. We are now homework nazis, which is just what needed to happen. She's settling into it, if not nicely, then simply doing. She finished her first essay. She had a week to finish it, thank goodness, so we did 4 drafts of it. I'm glad to say that all I did was prod her ideas and go over grammar (hers is better than mine, btw). I refuse to be "do it for her" mom. I hated when other kids had "help" when I had to do stuff all by myself and I'm not letting my kid have an easy road of it, either.
I'm trying to collect information for a financial planner. This money stuff is so frigging brutal. I don't like it, i don't want to deal with it, but I am because I have to, to forestall any kind of money freak out later on down the road. I have help with it, thank goodness, because I'm hopeless with it. I am so very grateful for the assitance!

Oh, I wrote a little D/s ficlet, entitled "Brunch", under my alter ego, cis at http://www.themasque.net. It was a quickie write that I had fun dreaming up. I hope you enjoy it. I'd love to hear what you think.
