Unnnnnhhhhhhh....
It is amazingly, piercingly, blisteringly hot here today. According to the car, it is 93 degrees. Annika and I just returned from a very quick trip up to the library and the post office...it was hard to decide: waddle/walk the six blocks in the sweltering heat or get in the 325 degree, black leather interior car and drive the six blocks with the air conditioning blasting. Car won out, for any number of reasons: I'm pregnant and feel I probably would have fainted dead away after waddling two blocks, my hips are coming undone--I feel like I have hip arthritis (but I thank God for my pioneer hips), and I'm just too dang lazy.
I hate to say it, but I haven't really walked anywhere since my doctor's appointment on 8/14. I probably should keep moving, but I just want to lay here and grow a baby.
Hans is in Poland until Saturday evening, so we three are free to loll about panting, watching TV next to the fan and eating popsicles. Not that Hans being here would change the scene much!
I am getting addicted to selling Annika's clothes! I'm almost done listing everything up to last year's winter clothes and short of taking the current stash from her closet, I'll be out of things to sell here very soon. It's actually been a lot of fun, I'm making a nice little pile of cash, and it's liberating when I was afraid it would be painful. I'm happy that her beautiful little things are going to some adorable little girls who will love them as much as she did. I just wish that I had her smaller clothes along--we left those in storage. This is a great market to sell in.
I had a great birthday. I'm sorry that I haven't posted much about it. Hans came home for lunch and took the kids up to the commissary to pick out a cake. Then we had lunch and consumed a nice section of said cake. Later, I took a big chunk across the way to the neighbors and thus avoided adding to my weight gain. Anyway, we had a nice lunch. The kids were making me little cards and pictures all day. I had a bunch of e-cards from friends and family, some phone calls, most of which I missed (sorry, Donna). Oh, I had a big old plate of juicy tomatoes as a snack...SO good. After Hans got home from work, we went out for dinner at our little Italian restaurant here on post and then ran over to the PX...not terribly adventurous, I know, but I just didn't feel up to the work of going anywhere too fancy with the kids.
And that was that. Just as I wanted it...peaceful and not over-the-top, but not an ordinary day either. Just right. Thanks everyone!
