Today is a new day and I am so grateful for that. I had a physically tough weekend. I am approaching the end of my pregnancy and finding it hard to stay positive and loving in all of my actions. I am starting to ache all over and losing what little patience I have very fast. But I am so incredibly thankful for this precious little girl in my belly. Brandon and I really love being pregnant and having the opportunity to experience this together. We love being a family and enjoy every bump (ya pun intended) in the road. But I have almost had it!!
We finished (sorta, for now) the basement storage room. We are not moving down the before-baby-to-do-list as fast as I would like but who would?!?!
I am little frustrated about some news I heard this weekend. I got the news late considering I was watching a show I had DVRed a couple of days earlier. And I don't know all the details. The Kansas City of Missouri Public Schools announced that they are going to close some schools. I don't want to take a guess a what the number was because I am afraid I would get it wrong, but still a school closed is a school closed. Here in Lawrence I believe the same thing is going to happen. I heard somewhere that the Lawrence Public Schools have a very high percentage of Administration so closing schools and consolidating teachers will help with lowering the cost of Administration. That is fine but where are you going to put these teachers? Are our schools not already stretched? And as a friend mentioned to me, the budget cuts are temporary, so why are we looking at permanent solutions? And may I add that as I drive through Lawrence; resident lawns are scattered with "Save our Neighborhood Schools" but then not 100 yards later the sprinklers shower (probably filtered) water over a newly erect football field? Yes I understand that football does bring in money and bond money is allocated for certain things, but really? Why can't our parents get excited and motivated like the football boosters? This is really concerning?!?
So I am due in April. So I have been wearing my "April Mommy" maternity tee a lot. When are you due? Use coupon code MOMMY20 to get 20% off and free shipping on any "Due Month Mommy" maternity tee at Simply Preggo.
