Wow. My 100th post. I did my 100 things about me quite awhile ago...I should be good and post the link here - but I'm super tired and don't feel like figuring it out. Sorry. I do want to do something fun for my 100th post though so I'll do a quick update and then what I had originally planned...lost track of how close I was!
So, here's what I've been doing in a nutshell:
- getting used to Zane being in school - including making lunches, homework and school assemblies
- finished reading the Twilight series by Stephanie Meyer in 5 days - lots of reading not so much housework and cooking going on in those days
- trying to catch up from the 5 day hibernation
- arguing with Zane over Star Wars
- laughing at my kids funnies
- teaching piano 3 days a week
- being SOOOO tired! Don't remember it being this bad with the other 2
- trying to take it easier with this pregnancy than the other two so I can make it to 38 weeks
- counting days till my ultrasound on Friday!
- packed for an overnighter to Barnwell
- went to Barnwell Thursday night with Cliff and the boys and came home on Friday night
- enjoyed seeing all the family - especially uncle Don and aunt Kathy and their kids home visiting from Australia - the whole point to our whirlwind trip. We haven't seen them in 5 years!
- eating yummy yummy food all weekend that I didn't have to cook
- enjoying Alisha and her friend Jackie for some of the weekend.
- laughing like crazy when Zane asked Auntie to "drop out" of a star wars level so he could finish by himself. the look on her face was priceless
- forgetting that we had school fundraising to do that has to be handed in tomorrow. Yuck. I'd gladly get rid of this part of school.
- craving Skittles, Starbursts, and Winegums. Yum yum yummy
- not liking chocolate this pregnancy
- starting to get heartburn after eating....anything
- starting to outgrow things and not wanting to spend money on clothes I'm only going to wear for a couple more months
- did I mention that I am tired ALL the time?
And that's about it. At least it's all that I can remember. I'm sure there are lots of things that I have forgotten and if I remember I'll include them in another post!

Wow! I like that idea for your 100th post! I guess I better start coming up with 200 things since I missed the boat on 100. Lots of good ideas...good luck with them.
Great post! I'll go golfing with you anytime! (Its actually not all that bad!) Luv ya!
oh wow! those are awesome. i'm with tisha, you gotta try golf. i'm terrible at it, but i still love it. cooking a turkey is actually quite easy, (and that's coming from me!) unless you suff it. i've never done that, it seems hard and gross though.
Such a fun post. And you know, when you hit your mid life crisis, you might like the idea of swimming with the sharks. (Not that I am having a crisis. or am I middle aged.....)
