Pondering what to write.....

For once, I really have no idea what to even blog about.  Usually I have some homeschooling topic or funny thing that happened, or pictures to post-nope not today.  Must be pregnancy brain.

I have an appt on Tuesday and I'm hoping that the doctor will be able to tell me when the csection will be scheduled on the 18th.  I mean, we do have other children that we need to find a place for during that time.  Of course, being new here, means not knowing alot of people, so depending on the surgery time, we may have to keep daddy at home with the kiddos while I'm in surgery.  Let's face it, its hard to ask someone that you really don't know that well to get up at 6am with four kids.  All are self sufficient, except Kailyn-and we are rediscovering the explorations of a toddler.  Climb on the table.  Climb on the counter.  Climb on the changing table.  PUt the whole roll of toilet paper in the toilet and flush.  Swing from the ceiling fan-you get the idea.

I'm doing pretty well considering that I can't get comfortable and therefore can't sleep that well.  I say that, although I know I've been barking at my husband and children the past few days, I'm just pretending that I haven't been.  I'm in denial.  I'm at least smart enough to say, I'm so tired and I'm sorry but...... bark, bark, bark.  Not that it makes it any better, but at least they've been warned that I'm a sleep deprived crazy person and they usually shrug it off.  They're wonderful and forgiving. 

My only big issue is the baby's name.  Hubby won't discuss any names other than this ridiculous name he's thought of combining Hannah Montana and Gabriella from HSM-Montana Gabriella.  I absolutely hate it.  Both names, not to mention the fact, that I don't really want my child name after pop stars, it doesn't even flow with our other children's names.  Its driving me mad.  I like to be ready for things, not deciding the day we leave the hospital her name.  Or perhaps, we'll be like Murphy Brown and take six months to decide.  We could try different names on her and see what fits.  Nope, doesn't work for me.  I'll be too crazed not having a name.  So, right now, we argue discuss names.  Actually, we really don't argue about it, he just keeps repeating this  nutty name that he knows is driving me over the edge.  I know he's doing it on purpose, but stop the madness already!!

.  I've finished all the school stuff and other than hanging some posters in the school room, I am as ready as can be for the upcoming year.  I'm very excited.  I hope the kids are too. 

I hope you don't think I'm too crazed after my rant today.  Just needed to rant to someone other than my family, I've put them through enough!!

Take care and have a wonderful week!

I know what you mean about wanting a name picked out. We always went to the hospital with a boy name and girl name picked out. Then on our third one we couldn't narrow it down so we went with a list of about 5-10 different boy names and girl names. When she was born we looked at her and NONE of the names we picked fit her. We didn't know what to do. She was born at 7pm and we went through most of the night with me going crazy because we didn't have a name (I'm a planner as well). At about 3 am a different nurse came into the room. We both noticed her name tag at the same time and looked right at eachother. The looks said it all, we both knew right at that moment that it was the perfect name for our daughter.

I hope something perfect comes to you at just the right moment. :-)
