Change

I do believe that I have made a similiar post before.  I have this overwhelming sense of change.  It may have everything to do with my ever expanding belly.  but then agian it may have more to do with how very busy we are with so many things.  And it is still summer.  Just wait until the fall.

We have about two and a half weeks until my brother's wedding.  Everyone has clothes except me.  I blame the belly.  I am working on alterations for the flower girls.  I need also to paint the unity candle, iron out plans for the rehersal dinner, make a ring bearer pillow and guest bags for those in the hotel. 

My mother-in-law just had surgery Friday on her back.  So this morning we baked her sugar-free (she's diabetic) chocolate zucchini bread.  I wish I could say that I am sure it is amazing, but I can't get past the after taste of artificial sweetner.  I am sure that she will like it.

The race is getting closer.  Last Sunday at Festa Italiana in Milwaukee my family handed out over 300 flyers for the event.  This Thursday is the German Fest run.  We have a team of 12 runners, including my pregnant self.  And yes I plan to run the entire thing.  We will be handing out hopefully another 300 or more flyers.  I want to move forward with planning, but I am finding it difficult.  Once people register I can start to order supplies.  It is expensive to put up all the start up cost myself.  Please Lord send my some corporate sponsors. 

As if all of this is not enough the children have been sick.  Not all at once.  They are each sick for 2-4 days about a week apart.  Our children have all had it and now my sisters have started.  I am running out of patience.   God give me strength.  The good news is that I get to go home and not deal with it in the evening.  I also have to start the final preparations for  the baby.  Going into the final trimester, time is running short.  I fear that with school starting time will run out all together.  I also want to do some prep work for Max's B-day and Christmas which will follow very quickly once the baby comes. 

Let me leave you with this inspired idea.  Yesterday while the children played in the kiddie pool I brought a tub of warm water and foot scrub.  They played in the pool and I did a little pedicure on my self.  I never got as far as painting my toe nails, but soaking, scrubbing, and rubbing lotion on my feet was divine.  Added bonus was that when we came inside the children sat to watch a movie and ave quiet time.  Heaven times 2.  Multitasking is a Superpower!!!!!
