Well, I'm back on the prairie. It actually feels nice to be back. Not the best conditions in the world, but hey at least I feel safe again. Not that I was in any danger in Splendora. Just that I know things will work out if we work our butts off. It is going to take a while, a long while. But we have a lot of help this time. I finally feel like the in laws (mainly MIL) has accepted that I'm not going anywhere and that I am actually good for her son. I have never felt like that with someone I have dated before. I never felt like I was good enough. It feels good.
The pregnancy is going good so far. I have been feeling the little peanut move around. Yesterday after my appointment, I started feeling nauseous from all of the movement. I can no longer lay on my stomach because it is just too uncomfortable. I haven't had any weird cravings, I never do. I have just been wanting lots of salad, bread sticks, and I really want some of my sister's delicious chicken noodle soup. I am hoping she will make some this weekend when I go to pick my nephew up.
The older 2 kids are trying to get adjusted with us here again. They aren't used to someone actually enforcing the rules around here. MIL makes excuses for them all of the time and their mother is too wrapped up in her and her husband's world to even notice that they are having a lot of problems. Zachary was doing great while her husband was out of the picture. Then on Mother's day when she decided to start letting him be around the kids again, Zach started acting out. Being mean to the younger kids, talking back to every adult, throwing all out 2 year old tantrums when he doesn't get his way. Kaitlyn starts bawling like a baby when you ask her if she did something wrong, even if she isn't in trouble.
Today I finally had the energy to clean. I vacuumed, dusted (even though Steve dusted the other day), cleaned the kitchen counters, and later I am going to sweep and mop...again. It seems I can never keep the house clean the way I want it. But, that is the price I pay I guess.
Off to make lunch for my 2 youngest. All in the day of a stay at home mom. Maybe that is what I should change my blog name to. What do you guys think?
