Wed, Jul 05:33:07 9 GMT 30 http://greasy.com/singlemom/bedding.html Before I got married I slept aone, I was able to go to bed with the sheets and the blankets in place and wake up with them still in place. Not anymore!! My husband is a cover hog, he not only pulls them he somehow manages to get them wrapped around himself sometime in the middle of the night. Not only this but if he and I are intertwined I get wrapped up in this mess and can't get out until he wakes up. I have even tried giving us seperate covers. Did it work? NO!! Paul takes them as well ... Wed, 2 Jul 2008 17:00:40 GMT http://greasy.com/singlemom/forgot_2.html I forgot how writing in a blog makes me feel so MUCH better. I need to try to write something everyday. I allowed life to consume my every waking hour and I have neglected to turn my computer on to check emails as well as write in this blog.

Tue, 1 Jul 2008 15:25:21 GMT http://greasy.com/singlemom/piss.html I do not know if it is because I am a walking hormone or a certain poster just rubbed me the wrong way. I have noticed that this pregnancy has me getting mad at the drop of a hat these days. I am not the type to shut up if something is bothering me and there have been many time I have shoved both feet in my mouth. I have not gone off on my family which is good or they might lock me in a closet LOL I need to learn not to give someone else the power to piss me off. There is a person here who ...

We then took her to a few other doctors and have found out that she is allergic to something here in the desert and Singular that they put her on is not working. We all sat down to have a family meeting and we are trying to decide if we should pull up camp and move somewhere not so hot in the summer, and come back here for vacations. I really h ...

She took her boys with her. I stil ... Fri, 6 Jun 2008 15:25:17 GMT http://greasy.com/singlemom/need_opinions.html OK people out in Greasy I need your honest opinions.. Since I am pregnant my husband would like for me to take a leave of absence from work until the new baby is 8 weeks old. I would like to keep working because I love my job and the money is great. I am civil service so they can't fire me, so this is a plus. My boss and I were talking and he told me that I could work part-time and come in a couple days a week and still get my full salary, but if I were to take a leave of absence I would o ...

I was typing away and all of a sudden I had an overwhelming urge to throw up, I did not have time to get to the elevator to get to the bathroom on the floor below me, so I grabbed my trash can and let it rip.. My boss was in my office when this took place, he was horrified LMAO!! All I heard from him was "Dear God Heather, do you want me to call your husband?!?" I asked him what for, there was nothing he could do about it. Now wor ... Thu, 15 May 2008 15:55:42 GMT http://greasy.com/singlemom/waiting.html Huge sigh~~~~~ How do I say this?

This weekend was busy around here, I took Strider's advice and hired my friend's two teenage boys do do some yard work. What I thought would take them 4 hours to finish only took them an hour and they did such a great job that I paid them double of what I said I would pay them. I also drove them home and asked my friend ...

She lives in the next town over so it took me about 30 minutes to get to her house. When we a ...

Michelle's fasting glucose was 113 which they say is just two points higher than they would like to see, but it could be caused by an illness. Paul, Michelle and I will drive down to the hospital an ...
