Life saving fluids!!!

Let me just tell you...today is my last shift. Kinda sad, but mostly excited. Anyway, that's not the point of this blog. As I often do, I spent the night before my shift at work. It saves me from having to get up at 4am to be here on time. I woke up this morning completely out of it. And, get this...there is NO flavored creamer. And my partner is still sleeping so we can't go to the store. What is an uncaffeinated girl to do? Well, I remembered that there is a coffee shop within walking distance to the station. So off I went.

I opened the door and the rich, tantelizing aroma of caffeine greeted me. Mmmm. My mouth watered already. I ordered the same drink I do at Starbucks (a triple venti non fat with whipped toffee nut white mocha). This woman behind the counter...this barista, this goddess, asked me if I wanted the 4th shot free. Yes, that's the 4th shot of espresso. I don't know if she saw how exhausted I am, or what, but I graciously took her up on her offer. Well, as gracious you can be when you are drooling and your eyes are half open. I'm fairly certain you could hear things rattle in my head when I vigorously nodded. And, let me tell you, this coffee? It's GOOD. Oh. My. God. I wonder if I can take this coffee shop with me to SC?

We went to Hershey park yesterday. It may have been our last time there this summer. Once we come up for Christmas, I'm pretty sure we will go then. (They do a special Christmas thing) We had fun. We definitely stayed in the sun too long, but what can ya do? Wyatt is getting on more and more rides geared towards big kids. *Sniff* I really want to camp at the campground next year, but we will see. A lot of it is going to depend on what happens with Randy and work.

Ah well, I suppose I should get on with getting stuff done. And remember, if you have to call 911 today, and your EMT shows up bright eyed and bushy tailed, thank a coffee lady.

Wow....

I looked at the calendar this morning and realized I only have 11 days left in this state (Commonwealth, whatever) And those 11 days are BUSY. I'm going to MD for 2 or 3 of them, some family is coming up for another, other family is coming up for 3 other days, I work, Randy works, we have 2 trips to Hersheypark planned, tonight I'm taking Wyatt to the racetrack...there's always something! Plus, I really want to get some more stuff packed. I want to make it so that all that's out is wtuff to keep Randy entertained and clothed and fed for the 2 weeks I'm down there and he's up here. He's got a hard enough job with loading the uhaul, I'd at least like to make it easy for him.

I have found a coffee maker that I must have. It's a cuisinart Keurig combo. It makes iced tea, 5 different size coffees....I want it. I will have it. It's got quiet brew technology. The Keurig I have now is pure awesomeness, but it's VERY noisy. And, I will be living in SC, I will have to be able to produce sweet tea on demand. :)

I can't believe in 2 weeks my baby starts Kindergarten. I think I had more issues with Pre-K than I do with this. I'm really not overly upset or anxious. Yet. I'm excited for him. I think the first day he's at school I will probably just wander around the house lost. Randy won't be there yet, I should have the stuff I'm bringing unpacked. Yup, staring at the walls...that's what I shall do. Now that I put it that way...You know, I will have fun. I will go into the city, do some window shopping, maybe just drive around and explore the area. Yup, I will have fun

*tap tap* Is this thing on?

Well, howdy. Remember me? I'm the cute chick dressed in white on that picture you see when you click on my blog. Yup, that's me. Be jealous.

If you aren't jealous about that....I'm in SC. We are going to my Daddy's for a week. We arent' there yet.....Soon! And, of course, a stop at Starbucks here shortly. I think it may be the only Starbucks in SC. There aren't many. Trust me. There's an app on my phone called "Find Starbucks"....It gives me the 5 nearest stores, then navigates me to the store I choose. Best. App. Ever. Hmmmm....I may have to think the whole relocating to SC thing.

So, I'm done with the Clomid for this cycle. The hot flashes stopped, so maybe it was just the insanely hot heat. ALthough, I would wake up sweaty, so maybe not. I had a few minor mood swings. I really didn't get cranky, but, my God, the things that would make me cry all of a sudden. CRAZY. I'm pretty sure that I, single handedly, kept Kleenex in business last week. I pray that all of this isn't for nothing, and that I get pregnant soon. I think we're a pretty cool family to be a part of. The little baby spirits must know this too.

My husband, God love him.... He's driving as I type. He looks at me and says "Is this the way we went before?" I'm fairly certain I looked at him with a blank look, because I was trying not to give him the "Have you been smoking something?" look. He then proceeds to tell me that he doesn't remember this road going to our honeymoon. Um...well....maybe because this road goes to Myrtle Beach. In South Carolina. We went to Rehoboth Beach. In Deleware. Back off, ladies, you can't have him. He's all mine. I'm not complaining, he got off work at Midnite and has been driving ever since. I slept off and on. (Don't pity him, though, he slept almost all day at work yesterday!)

Wyatt has been SO GOOD on this trip. There were a few times he woke up fussy....but I can't blame him. I was cranky cause I couldn't get comfortable. Why should I expect better behavior from him? He was so funny. We didn't know he was awake yet this morning, and all of a sudden we hear a cute little 5 year old voice say "I've been on this road before!" And when I told him we were in South Carolina, his entire face lit up. Lemme tell you, I got lucky with this kid. He is just awesome.

Are we there yet? I soooo want to ask Randy, but then Wyatt will start. :) It's ok if I ask annoying questions. But noone else can. It is, after all, all about ME.

Mmmmm......I got my Starbucks. Ahhhh. All is right with the world now.

Apparently, I've been missed!

I have not one single special thing to type. Yet, some crazy woman is hounding me on facebook to update, so....here it is.

My house has, actually, stayed clean the past few days. Which is good, because I got one of those "Someone wants to come see your house and they can be there in an hour" kind of calls yesterday. Which is good. I was stressing that noone had wanted to see it yet.

Hey, did you know coffee can be bad for you? I had my coffee delivery yesterday (not a big deal, really...we order it so we can get the flavors we want and it's cheaper) Well, as I was coming inside, the screen door slammed on the back of my foot. It was NOT pretty, and I am not proud of my reaction, or the things I said in front of Wyatt. Oops.

Sooo....I'm thinking about getting a membership to one of the local pools. Yes, we just got season passes to Hershey Park, but there are days, like today, where if we go, we have to be home early because one of us has to work. And I don't want to tear Wyatt away from having fun. That's just too stressful. So, the pool would be a perfect solution. I hate that Wyatt wants to stay inside and play Wii or on the computer. Get out! Play!

We are going to SC in a couple of weeks. I think we need another vacation though. That's not really going to be a good one....we have too much we HAVE to do down there for it to really count, ya know? I'm thinking maybe Williamsburg in the Fall. The downside to that is if we are in SC, Randy will have just started a new job (hopefully) and it's too soon to ask for time off. (Can I take a minute to point out a benefit to homeschooling? A vacation to Williamsburg becomes a field trip. Ha!)

I cannot believe how easy Weight Watchers is! I have "cheated" a few times, and I'm still losing weight. It almost seems like a no fail diet. I don't go to meetings, I just do the online stuff. I may start going though, just for the socialization with other (non EMS) grown ups. And, I'm joining the Y. (What do you mean you 've heard that before? I don't know what you're talking about)

Thank GOODNESS for the autosave feature, since Wyatt just turned the computer off accidently. If this wasn't autosaved, there would be no blog today.

Well, Randy and I talked while the computer was restarting, and we decided to just go buy a blow up pool to keep here. Not a dinky 2 or 3 ring one, maybe one of those that has the ring you blow up, and the more water you add, the higher the ring goes...I don't know. I guess we're going to go look.

On that note, I need to go get the cat unstuck from the chair. *Sigh* Our next house will have a padded room
