I'm sitting here typing when I should be falling asleep while reading Pride and Prejudice. I read it every time I am pregnant, I don't know why but it's good timing every 2-2 1/2 years... I love reading it because it's so different than the movies... close to the PBS version than the Kiera Knightly one but I love it, i just get snuggled into my bed and my mind concentrates on something other than what runs through my mind all day and I fall asleep, I have to read to fall asleep or I can't stop thinking. I was watching the new movie "I don't know how she does it" starring Sarah Jessica Parker, Greg Kinear and Pierce Brosnan, it's PG-13 but it is actually really decent, there is only one thing that is said that is not appropriate and it's mentioned twice. Well she is a juggler is what her husband calls her at the end of the movie, any ways the point I am trying to make is in the movie she talks about being a mom and how mom's don't sleep through the night and how she gets up and kisses her kids and than lays back down and makes "The List" in her head of all her up coming tasks and things she wants to get done... well that's me... I think and think and think and think. I can't tell if it's worse now that I am pregnant or not... but I just can't stop my mind is on go all the time. I have to have distractions or it's so bad... I have decided I am a project pile-r I go from one project to the other and have a hard time finishing projects... it's awful... any ways... let me tell you about our family. 
Last weekend... our fridge finally needed to be replaced. It's needed it for awhile but excuse after excuse was made. It was leaking water and than it started freezing every thing on the top shelf. The maintenance man came out twice first in October, next in December but here we are still with a broken fridge. So finally my landlord aka upstairs neighbor Nancy the best landlord EVER, decided time for a new fridge. So She said the fridge guy was coming Friday. So I took everything out of our fridge and freezer and put it out front in boxes etc, the guy came, replaced our fridge, took away our broken washer and dryer for free, and left. Friday night, milk wasn't very cold, but hey we were used to frozen milk so hmmm maybe needed getting used to again. Saturday same story, Sunday getting ready to leave for church, everything in freezer has completely de-thawed and starting to smell, (just my frozen bananas) and we have maxed out the turning up knobs and no change. We go to church come home tell Nancy she says she will call them Monday morning. So I tell Dave oh man, gotta take everything out and put it outside again, i tell him how when I took everything out Friday I put it out front. To go out front I had to go down the hall and walk up stairs... he says... why did you do that, just take the screen off the window and put it out there... So thanks to my wonderful husband we saved ourselves a lot of time and energy and put everything worth saving out the kitchen window until Monday morning when we got a working fridge. Wow... yes a lot of craziness.
Thursday's Dave works and I was exhausted... Wednesday night was New Beginnings and I was in charge. Each of the counselors took a big event for the year and decided better time than any to do it and so I was in charge... it went well, very stressful but everyone loved it. I didn't exactly realize how stressed I had been that day until Thursday morning when i couldn't drag myself out of bed and wore a blanket most the day while catching up with episodes of "Downton Abby" on Netflixs (season 1) and on line PBS (season 2) wow such a good show I am addicted. Well so Dave tells us to go change out Sami's movie since we have a $5 movie pass at Blockbuster for unlimited rentals for kids, so we head over there which is next to Safeway in search of a movie, and for me feel good food. We rented Mickey Mouse clubhouse, and I rented the movie i mentioned... I don't rent movies very often, hardly anything I want to see. So I go back to the bakery at Safeway where all the goodness is... there cooler of slices of cheesecake etc. They had chocolate covered strawberries. 4 for $6.99 and that was using your Safeway card, normally $9.99 i thought well screw that... i went to the produce sections spent $7 on a container of strawberries and a container of dolci chocolate that you melt in the microwave and made our own... it was a success and makes me want a fondue maker... on my wish list someday I will have a small fondue kit... we also brought home some coleslaw, chinesse noodles and sweet and sour chicken. I could only eat some and Dave ate the rest for lunch today... i let him... especially since when I went to go eat it it was hidden and I couldn't find it... wonderful.
As you can tell Daphne loved them... her first strawberry she ate the whole thing her second one she just ate the chocolate off and put the strawberry down... she's no dummy. This girl cracks us up daily. Her sister of course always has something funny or smart alleck to say but Daphne is learning things and when this girl is tired she doesn't whine or cry she is so NAUGHTY... so NAUGHTY... she finds stuff and gets stuff that we don't know how she did it...(anyone know how to get pen off walls and linoleum and metal?) just one thing after the other. Than she takes off her pants and her diaper and runs around laughing. Her biggest thrill is kicking my belly... than she says... hi brother... yeah great relationship there... this girl though... don't know what to do with her, fights naps like you wouldn't believe but is so cute it's hard to be mad at her. I have my hands full, it's fun, it's exciting and it's hard but I love it and I am making tons of memories with my angels... they are both very different but get along decently enough. Constantly learning from each other. Sami is getting smarter by the day and she is going to do great in school once she realizes she can... so dang lazy but that will get better soon... I hope... poor girls built like her mom belly and no butt or hips to hold up her pants... but she grows like a weed and her sister is keeping up... they are going to pass me up someday.... i don't know how Sami is growing that girl would live off candy, juice, milk and mac and cheese if we let her.
Well it's off to bed I go, Dave is off to dreamland already and I am starting to wind down. Tomorrow is a fun day of projecting and dropping stuff off and getting ready for Sunday. Saturdays aren't all that exciting here... Cheney isn't that exciting... want to realize how good you have it in your towns come visit... you'll be so grateful for your home when you go back...
Well a lot of changes coming our way... we gotta find a new place to live and we will move there at the end of march, just to a 3 bedroom to accommodate Ezra, and all our crap. With that you'll notice our blog can't be named David and his Girls anymore so if you can throw me some suggestions for something cute and creative for once Ezra comes that would be great!

I'm a project piler too. I just put the book of that movie on hold at our library since they don't have the movie.
I love Downton Abbey. It's such a great show!
Chocolate covered strawberries are SO yummy! Smart to make more for less money. You are so thrifty and clever.
Use cheap hairspray to get pen off the walls. Then a bottle with a little shampoo or soap to get the hairspray off. Crayon comes off with WD-40.
I tried hairspray on one of my shirts to get pen out and it worked. Another tip for getting pen out of clothes is to soak it in milk and then throw it in the laundry. It sounds weird, but it works. Hope that helps.
I understand the list making stuff. Me too!
