6 Quirky things

Okay so I got tagged by my friend Jessie to tell 6 quirky things about my self. So here it goes.

1. I have to use hand sanitizer after being in a public place. Especially Wal-Mart or any where I have to use a cart. I do not like to even touch the steering wheel in my car until I am clean. I just feel dirty and grimy until I use the little bottle of sanitizer. I love that Kroger has sanitizing wipes and I hate when the container is empty. I am more of a germaphob now that I have children. I was a freak about the sanitizer while I was in Italy and I am thankful for the hygene efforts most people make here in the USA.

2. I always have to be reading a book. Even if I have very little time in a day, I feel so much more relaxed if I can read for a minute or two here and there. Itis my escape from reality for a few moments. It is also a way out of the house even when you have sick children.

3. I do not like feet. I have a hard time even touching my husbands feet without a pair of socks. It all stems back to college when a group of friends came over to watch conference at my apartment. I remember being pinned too the ground by several young men while Russ (I won't use last names) stuck his bare feet on my face during the prophets closing remarks of conference. Needless to say, it traumatized me, and I have never been the same.

4. I love to sleep in. I am so much happier when I can. Although I don't really have a day when I can sleep in. Even Saturdays are just too darn busy to get much extra sleep. Les leaves to play basketball at 6:50. I am looking forward to conference Sunday, which I am happy to say doesn't start until noon in this part of the country. There is time to sleep in, shower, and cook a hot breakfast all before the first session. I am also looking forward to 11:00 o'clock church even if I will be up doing night feedings with the baby. Ward council will not be nearly to tyring at 9:00 instead of 7:00.

5. Telemarketing calls. Charity or otherwise. I have insurance companies call me multiple times a week. Honestly if people knew how much I allready paid to charity, I think they would bypass my number.

6. I can not stand clutter in my house. Inevitably by the end of the week I have clutter that builds up on my island or desk in my office or both. I get panicky if my house has clutter and I have to get rid of it, or the family can feel my irritation.

I will not tag any one else but if you feel so inclined to share. Please do.

Les, Can you take the baby for a while?

Okay, so I know that is impossible but last night I was so exhausted and needed a break. Unfortunately when your pregnant you can't just hand off the baby. I am getting to that uncomfortable part of pregnancy when your body bends and twists and turns in odd angles. It is hard to pick things up (especially small items that I can't pick up with my toes). It hurts to stretch, stand up, sit down, get out of bed, pick up children etc. By the end of the day I am doing well if I can roll of the couch and walk up the stairs to get into bed. Les tells me not to pick things up but I don;t think he actually realizes how much picking up I do during the day. He says its the kids job but I don't have time for them to pick things up all the time.

I know I sound lame. I am giving props to all moms who have ever carried multiple babies at one time. I just can't imagine.

I am grateful for this little ones movements that let me know she is okay. At times I admit they get annoying, especially when trying to sleep. But I am grateful at the same time.

I had a moment today. I was going through old boy baby clothes from Brennen, for a friend who needs a particular size of pants for her son. I lost it. So many cute outfits and memories to go along with them. It is hard to imagine not having another little boy. However, this is 95% our last baby,unless something unforeseen happens, and as long as this baby actually comes out a girl there will be no more little boy Augers. Brennen gave me a big hug and told me (because I asked)"Mom I can't grow smaller, I am big. " More tears from the mama.

I am hanging in there but emotionally unstable. It has got to be the hormones. Oh, and congrats to Rachel and Ken and there new addition Lindsay Jane Golightly born last friday. Cuddleing and kissing a new baby is much easier to do in person.

No time to think let alone Blog! 29! Jayne first day of preschool!

Okay, I know I am lame. I have not had any time to do anything it seems. I am hoping that things will calm down soon. Hopefully after Sunday. My calling is stressing me out, but it is looking up. This is a busy time of year for primary. The program is coming, inservice, curriculum orders, new teachers, switching schedules, budget & calendars for next year,and looking forward to next year new theme and ideas. It is crazy. Add trying to remodel a room for the new little one before Les's schedule becomes to demanding to get it done, homework, activities for the kids, and football games to watch. That leaves no time. Plus, I still have days that I don;t feel so grand. So I am doing the best I can.

By the way. I was the entertainment at Jayne's soccer game on Saturday. Her coach who is a friend of mine asked me to be the second coach. (The team plays on two fields so everyone gets to play). I was on one field. It was so muggy, humid, and hot. She neglected to tell me before I showed up at the field. I was not dressed for the weather or any type of physical activity. I was one sweaty, 6 months pregnant momma running after 4 year old girls. It was a sight, but Jayne was so excited that I was her coach. She almost scored twice. I couldn't move for the rest of the day. I was so sore. Maybe I shouldn't admit that. But this is baby number four and my muscles are all out of whack. Oh well.

By the way. I turned 29 on the 10th. Yep I have officially had my last birthday of my life. I can get no older. What a feeling. The kids had a fun time celebrating my birthday, and Les bought me a beautiful cake. It was a little small but the kids all had a bite and a delectable cupcake from the same bakery. Jayne woke up with pink eye, so I was pretty much stuck at home except for the visit to the doctor. On the upside the doctor gave us samples so we didn't have to go to the pharmacy, and infect half of our town in the process. I was a cleaning maniac and no one else has gotten pink eye yet. I am hoping they won't!. Jayne started preschool. She looks so bug. She actually went last year, but this year she is staying longer, eating lunch at school. So far she is enjoying it. the school just opened up and is very unorganized. I am hoping they will get it together in the next month or so, but she is thrilled she knows kids in her class form church. She also gets a note sent home saying she sang by herself just about every day. I guess she isn't very shy after all.

Brennen and I now have some quality alone time at least until the baby is born. Unfortunately the majority of my time has been spent on Primary up to this point but I have hope that within the month I may have some time to spend hanging out with Brennen.
