Pretty Boring Couple of Days

As soon as I dropped my Dad off at the airport on Wednesday morning it started raining again. It hasn't stopped yet. Apparently it's not going to stop anytime soon either :P My grass just keeps growing and growing. Brandon and I joked that we should just douse it in diesel and light a match. It would somehow make it grow faster hahaha. Here's me and Noah after painting a little bit and my belly pic. I'm 31wks pregnant. Noah has my eyes for sure.

I've been in a mellow mood. I guess it's the rain. I've been thinking a lot about the baby and the house and other things. I dream about the baby... it's a girl with a lot of dark hair, kinda like me when I was born. I don't consider it to be a sign. I have nightmares too. I dreamt no real estate agent would sell our house because it was just impossible to sell anything in our area. I dream about losing Josh in various ways. Most of them are perfectly preventable ways and therefore even more infuriating. I think I'm getting nervous as time diminishes. It would be the most awful thing in the world to have waited 3 years for each other only to have something happen that destroys everything we worked for. So that's of course what my sub conscience focuses on! Josh has been quiet. I can't really say much more about it because there's nothing to say. He's just quiet. This is probably why I have the nightmares.

I am sooooooo bored with my life and it's always magnified right after company leaves. I wake up and eat breakfast. I let Noah watch "Chicken Little" while I check my email. I sit around for a few hours and then make lunch. We eat and then take a nap. I sit around for a few more hours, make dinner, sit around some more, and then we go to bed. The worst part is that I hate it, but I can't make myself do anything else. I try to motivate myself to be happy and busy, but it only lasts maybe 2 hours. I tried coffee. I tried vitamins. I tried talking to Josh. I tried going for a drive. I tried singing and acting crazy. I tried playing with Noah. Everything serves as a tiny distraction that quickly fades away. Noah's great and keeps me happy enough to not punch a wall. I'm glad he's around to laugh at :)

I still think about Trista every day and I get really angry about her death. I don't know who I'm angry at. I feel like I should be over it, but I'm not. I tried to talk to Josh but he's just quiet. I feel that I shouldn't talk about it since I'm sure everyone is tired of the heavy emotional topics, but it's really been bothering me. Someone signed on to her Myspace now so I guess that has something to do with it. My theory on "everything happens for a reason" by which I used to live life and deal with hardship seems to be just a meaningless saying used to make people feel better like "she's gone to a better place" or "God has a plan". It doesn't work anymore. I want to get into a fight and kick the ever-loving crap out of someone who deserves it because my friend most certainly did not deserve what happened to her. I hate every a-hole who's still alive and making life miserable for everyone. Why didn't God kill the guy looking at child porn while his pregnant wife and kids are asleep in the other room. There's no plan. Death makes no sense. The most frustrating part of death is seeing how everything else just keeps going like nothing ever happened. People die every day and that's just how it is. Meanwhile, the big news is President Bush having a camera shoved up his butt.

You sound like you're having a rough time,I'm so sorry.I'm sure it's starting to get more difficult for you as you get further along in your pregnancy.You are doing a great job though.Just take one day at a time.You will get through this.I can't believe you're 31 weeks!Not that much longer and you'll be holding your new baby :)
I'm sorry about Trista.I think it would be be very hard not to think about her death.I have never lost a close friend...well I did when I was 8.My little friend died of Leukemia.It was awful.I was too young to take it all in though.As I look back on it though I think of all she missed out on in life.I do believe she is in heaven.There are so many things in life that just make you wonder why....I guess we will have all the answers someday.For now I just trust that God has a reason and he knows best.
My sisters friends little boy just died this week.He was 6 weeks old.It is heartbreaking and there was no apparent reason for his death,he just stopped breathing.Things like that terrify me and make appreciate my life my kids & my husband even more.I hope I didn't bring you down even more.Call me if you need to talk though.
Love,Brit

OMG how sad about your sister's friend's little baby :( I couldn't imagine losing a child. I think I would just crumble and disintegrate into nothingness. That was my biggest fear with Noah! That's why I never got any sleep, wasn't his fault. I'm sure it will be the same with this one. I try and just trust God will take care of me. He always does. I'm just mad... not really at God, just in general. Today was much better, though. I talked to Josh and had an actual conversation with him :D Thanks a lot for your kind words. You didn't bring me down at all, Brit :)

Hurricane Sandy

This will be a gleefully uneventful post, but I thought I should at least inform everyone of our whereabouts during Frankenstorm. On Friday the landfall predictions were further south, which had the eye passing near our tiny town after obliterating Dover, DE.  We happen to be surrounded by water.  The Patuxent River on one side, Chesapeake Bay on the other, plenty of swamps and creeks in between.  Not a good prospect. Josh and I had gone out that night to try and secure supplies and already, there were no batteries or flashlights.  We also don't have a grill and thought "we'll try Lowe's tomorrow"I mean, most people already own grills... right?  Everything in our house is run on electricity (including the water pump for the well) except for the fireplace.  I don't know what builders are thinking when they do that.  I at least want a gas stove and water heater!  So, anyways.  We got a few hours of sleep before trying to brave the crowds...

Germany

Noah and I are having a great time out in Germany with Josh. The house we're sharing is amazing and the people are also amazing. The only thing we don't have is our own kitchen, but like I said, the people who live here (Josh's friends) are amazing so it's not even an issue. I've been cooking for everyone to try to thank them in some way. We haven't been to many places yet. It's hard to go anywhere with a baby who has a naptime and a husband who has a job. However!! We managed to make it out to Heidelberg to see the castle. It was awesome. the walk up to the castle mmmm castle Heidelberg down below Christmas is huge here. They've even got Christmas markets out in the parking lot in front of WalMart. We've been to Luisenplatz a few times in downtown Darmstadt to visit all the Christmas shops they have set up. It's like a Christmas flea market. Thus far all I've blown money on is candy... mmmm German candy is so delicious. It's...

Hiking on the Guadarrama Trail

As promised yesterday, I actually left the house and went on a hike with Mama C and Goober!  YAY! I was a bad Mommy and ill prepared to shield us from the hot Spanish sun so we all have a touch of sunburn.  Whoops.  It was fun though.  OK so here's where we began our journey.  You can see the bridge between the roundabout and the little house with a red roof (which is a restaurant).  All the cylindrical buildings were a plant nursery.  We walked over the bridge and past the nursery where we crossed the street and then started up the dirt path.  The other little building is literally a Gypsy Keep. Here's what it looked like from the road... and it was so ridiculously creepy, yet fascinating.  I don't know why there is always tons of junk in trees around gypsy places.  There was a gutted van in the backyard, a stroller jammed into a wall, shorts in the trees.  We both wanted to trespass, but the kids would have inevitably fal...
