While I am still having issues with my gall bladder and the normal morning sickness that comes with being pregnant, I have to say that most days are pretty good. I definitely have days when all I want to do is go back to bed, and other days when I'm down right depressed about food and my seemingly un-working body, most of the time I am able to see very clearly just how blessed I am.
I have been able to spend a lot of time outside weeding flower beds and mowing lawns.
I have been able to spend a lot of time sewing which is something I have always really enjoyed doing but never found the time.
I have been able to spend time researching foods that are healthy for me and experiment with new recipes (like fat-free cookies!) in order to eat to keep my gall bladder from acting up and keep my insulin resistance under control. This is probably the biggest blessing I see from losing my job. I would have never been able to focus so much if I had still been running from appointment to appointment.
Some of the projects on my list of things to do:
Paint the bathroom
Weed the "hill" under our pine tree on the corner. I have tried and failed multiple times to landscape the area... any ideas?
Sew!!! I have so many more sewing projects i want to do including some re-purposing and a baby quilt.
Play with my kids!!! It has been so nice to feel like I have the time to sit and build legos with Brian, drive cars with Nathan, pretend with Samantha and who knows... I may even get brave enough to get on the trampoline with them this summer!
Here are a few pictures of some of my recent projects. A silly picture of the kids during family night (they were all lined up an my feet) and our new dog Rusty.

Oh my word I am so out of the loop! You are expecting again? Do you have 3 dogs now? The kids are getting so big. I miss Idaho so much. I loved the summers up there. I try and head somewhere north during the weekends. It is just too hot here in the summer. I miss you all terribly. Hope all is going well for you.
