Hard bellies

Friday, May 30th, 2008

35 weeksWe won all three bocce games last night against the Tipsy Moonshiners.
They were missing half their team.
And Fiesta! night was fun.
Although I had a touch of the heartburn.

I’m linking to my friend
Girl in the Valley
Because she updates better.

Mom arrives for the next five days.
She’s thrilled to be shopping and cooking and taking care for a while.
James will appreciate the break from my constant “Hey, do you mind…?”
and I’m just happy to have some time with her while I’m still her daughter and not her grandchild’s mother.

Still with the work.
Still with the bocce.
Still with the cheese club.
Still with the projects.

Also, lots and lots of pre-baby contractions rocking out. This could go on for the next six weeks, or it could culminate in a baby tonight. Fascinating how this upheaval works.

If I could just release my grip and throw my arms over my head, I think I would enjoy this more.

It’s funny, to get the opportunity to slow down after a whole life of hurry ups.
It’s funny, to hear from old friends.
It’s funny, that I didn’t relax like this sooner.
