It's crazy how fast time is flying by! In just a few short weeks our little Lacey Elisabeth will be here. My parents came out last night to help me around the house steam cleaning the carpets and cleaning out cupboards. It's amazing how many things that we got knocked off of our to do list. I think Josh will be excited to see that when he gets home from his time with Echoing Angels.

Josh has been away with EA doing tour rehearsals. I'm so excited to have him home tonight. He's taking me out on a date tonight. We're going to do dinner, shopping and a movie. I'm really looking forward to having some quality time with him.

Tomorrow a few of my friends are taking me for a spa day to get manicures and pedicures. Kind of a last hurrah before Lacey gets here. I'm sooo looking forward to being pampered. I love getting my nails done. Just a very girlie thing to do. Afterward I think we'll grab some lunch. So I'm looking forward to that.

Josh, Echoing Angels and all the families are heading to down to Callaway Gardens tomorrow. Except for me. :-( Being 9 1/2 months preggo it's too hard to travel these days. They will be leading worship at a church on Sunday morning. Just wish that I could go too.

I'm very much looking forward to a break. My last day at work is December 23rd...so just a little under 2 weeks left. Then I'll be taking a 12 week maternity leave. I'm really ready for a break. I think my pregnancy hormones have made my patience and tolerance level pretty low. So, it'll be nice to take a break, learn to be a mommy and regroup before having to go back to work.

I just shopped for 2 hours by myself!!! Wow, that never happens. I had to work today. Just an 8 hour shift though, not a 16. I have to go back again tomorrow. I don't mind this because I actually get paid overtime for this shift not time off. We could really use the money, with Christmas coming up. Trey is out of town, somewhere in south Georgia and my mom has the kids so I could work. So I have a whole evening to myself!!! TV dinner and a movie is in my future!

Last night, Trey and I went on a date, the first in months and months. We dropped the children off at my moms yesterday afternoon and hung out at the Mall of Georgia. We went a saw a movie, Social Network, which I really liked. It was interesting to watch a documentary-ish movie about something happened before your eyes, in your adult life-time. We went to dinner at Mimi's Cafe, it was awesome. We cherish the time we get to be together. Trey always makes me laugh and I adore him. I am so happy he is mine.

Just a quick funny story, well 2 actually. Remember when I said I would regret saying to James if he was so lonely to sleep outside my door that he could come sleep with me? yep, I regret it! BIG time. He has been in my room 1 to 3 times a night since I said that!! It's like having an infant wake you up. I went easy on him the first 10 days because I know October messed him up, and he NEVER gives me any trouble. He is SO good. He has always been my routine child and has to be warned when change is coming to avoid melt downs. If you give him a heads up, he is totally fine. He has just gotten so insecure about who is going to be here with him. But Wednesday night, I had had enough. I chased him back to bed threatening no cartoons for a week and no playing with the neighbors! The tears immediately dried up....so, maybe he's playing my heart, huh? Well, he didn't do it Friday night so we will see when he gets back from Grandma's ("Sita" as he calls her).

Ok, funny story #2. To sit or not to sit, that is the question. Eliza, 19 months old, said to me, "pee,pee, potty" so I go and try to sit her on the potty and she shakes her head and goes stiff backed and won't sit. So I set her down in front of the toilet and she immediately pees on the stool. She totally thinks she is supposed to stand up and pee! I laughed so hard. I guess that what happens when a baby girl has her daddy and big brother home with her mostly. Guess I need to tag her along every time I go!

Dinner and a movie, calling my name!
