I know it’s a thing to lose some concentration when you’re pregnant, but let me tell you, in this case, the third time is NOT the charm. I swear that with this pregnancy I am ridiculously dumb. I am normally the kind of person who never forgets anything and lately I can not seem to get anything right. Here are two examples:

1. I had a coupon for a chicken entree for only $2.14, so my husband and I headed to Pei Wei for a delicious lunch. When we got there, I showed said coupon to the employee. She looked at me confused and mentioned that she had never seen this coupon. Upon further inspection, she announced, “Oh, this is for Pick Up Stix.” Duh. In my defense, they both start with a “P” and both sell Chinese food. (Disclaimer: My husband would like you all to know that this is something I would do even if I wasn’t pregnant.)

2. We were at Goodwill and halfway through shopping, my three-year-old announces that he has to pee. As much as I love this store, it is completely lacking in restrooms. So, I take my son out to our car to pee, throwing my purse and keys in the front seat while he goes. We go back inside to buy our items and on the way out, I can not find my keys. I start to panic that I didn’t pick them up from the car because I KNOW that I locked the door. When we get to the car, I look in and see my keys sitting there. I am about to call my husband to come rescue us, when I just happen to check the door. And what do you know, it was unlocked. Yup, unlocked with the keys just sitting there. Parked on the corner of a busy intersection. I am so thankful no one else noticed.

Yeah, let’s hope all my intellect comes back in the next five months ’cause boy I sure do miss it.

I am on week three of vacation and it has been lovely. It has been so nice to enjoy the holidays and still have another week to recuperate and relax. Especially since I got a lot of the “things I need to get done” last week. It’s funny how vacations as a mom turn into “complete everything on the to-do list” when it used to be full of hanging out with friends and shopping. I am crazy thankful for the time to just be with the boys though and hang out and do chores during normal hours. Sorta funny to think some people get to do this every day. 😉

Is it just me or does it seem like EVERYONE has a cold? Yikes. My friends and I sent out a group text message a couple days ago to get together and I swear more than half of them wrote back saying that they were sick, their husband was sick or both. I DO NOT want to get sick over this break, so I’m currently drinking some Emergen-C. I’m also thinking about going into seclusion to keep the germs away. Because being pregnant and sick is the WORST. Praying you all stay healthy too!
