Sleep at last...

Last night I finally got a full nights sleep. It'd been the first I've had in weeks. My hormones have been wreaking havoc on my once-pleasant dreams.

A couple nights ago I had to wake Dave up to walk me to the bathroom in the middle of the night because I was too afraid to get out of bed. I'd been dreaming of weird people lurking outside and inside my house trying to kill off family members. That, combined with my ever-present fear of body snatchers under the bed made for a long night. I never went back to sleep.

Last night I was crying on Dave's shoulder because I was too afraid to sleep. He said a prayer for me and immediately I felt calmed, rolled over, and fell asleep. Woke up to pee, and went to the bathroom in the dark with no fears. Fell back asleep with no issues. It feels sooooo great to finally have a night's sleep under my belt. I know my days are numbered.

Thank heaven for answered prayers!

Sweetness all around

So my prior post led me to this post....
I think this was from a year or two ago but I remember watching it then and crying...I'm just crying a little more now thanks to hormones. I love little kid voices more than any other sound. When the kids sing in church I'm usually drawn to tears because of their sweet innocence...
So here's another video for you to enjoy while I sop up this mess I've made of myself.

One of my all-time favorites....

I loved this movie growing up...and I love it even more now. Maybe because I sing just as well as they do??? =)
Have you really ever seen anything cuter than this??

Green with Envy

I am totally IN LOVE with these shoes.

Price tag? $1,244.00.

It's a sad day.

Delightfully Delicious (and frightfully nutritious) Lemon Bars

(Lemons are healthy....right????)

1 cup butter (softened/room temp)
1/2 cup sugar
2 cups all purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt

4 eggs
2 cups sugar
5 tablespoons flour
2/3 cup lemon juice (I used the bottle stuff...think 3-5 lemons)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a medium bowl, blend together first 4 ingredients (until it resembles corn meal, or such). Line 9x13 inch pan with aluminum foil and spray with cooking spray (soooo much easier to get them out looking like bars instead of lumps of goo). Press mixture firmly into pan. Bake for 15-20, or until light golden brown.

Whisk together sugar and flour. Whisk in the eggs and lemon juice. Poor over baked crust. Return to preheated oven for 20 minutes.

I let them cool for 10 minutes before attempting removal - pull up sides of aluminum foil and remove from pan. Sprinkle with powdered sugar (if desired). If aluminum foil doesn't pull away easily, use a small, sharp knife to loosen the edges around the foil. Let cool completely (if you can - I couldn't). Cut into bars. Refrigerate until eating.

Diaper Cake

So I made my first attempt at a diaper cake - I must say I'm pretty proud of it! I think it's cute. I might make it my baby shower tradition. Once I feel more comfortable with my skills, I'll add toys and such. For now, I've just wrapped some onesies in with the diapers.

I'm scheduling this to post after Pomai's baby shower so the cat's not out of the bag, so to speak.

Ugh.

I think my boobs just grew.





Again.
