woe is me...

When it rains, it pours. Last week, it rained. Not just rain from the sky either! It felt like a jillion things went awry last week.

For starters, I still feel nasty sick. I have passed the benchmark for "normal" pregnancy sickness, and should be free and clear...but no, not yet. I'm still laying on the couch dreaming about cheetos and chocolate donuts, and nothing else.

Secondly, our computer crashed. Yes, you all know that, but I'm sorry to say, this eggrollmama hadn't backed up her pictures since the last time she traveled with her computer which was.....drumroll please....February. So all our pictures, minus the few (haha) that have been posted on my blog are gone. Forever. That was a mighty good lot of pictures, let me tell you. Birthdays for both girls...thailand vacation...hong kong vacation...summer fun activities....grrrr. Let's all observe a moment of silence, shall we?

Thirdly, after Dell bit the dust, we were going to our friends house one evening to begin the restoration process of the computer. It was raining - true, serious, read a book and stay inside rain - but we were on our way out the door. As the taxi pulled up to our building, I bundled Samantha in my arms and headed out. Just as I was walking down the first of three steps, my flipflops hit the slick step and I bit it - bad. Samantha, praise of all praises, landed feet first on the ground, totally unaware that I was injured. My leg got hurt fairly badly - it's not broken or anything, but badly bruised and still, a week later, very sore.

Finally, last night, I came down with the stuffiness/coughing/runny nose/cold type stuff that josh had last week. Truly, I feel pathetic.

I know all of these things will run their course, and things will be fine again. As I enter week 15 of this pregnancy, I really hope that all-day sickness runs its course!

don't feel too bad for me, though! I have great helpers, girls who are content to play all day by themselves, and now I am almost finished teaching! I actually put in a "two weeks notice" at preschool today - partly due to pregnancy, partly due to upcoming travel that would require me to take an obscene amount of time off work. So, I'm almost a free woman...
