Random Tuesday Thoughts

There are a lot of things I think are of note, but not important enough to make an entire post, so I thought I would start doing random thought posts from time to time, just to purge some of these things from my mind. God knows, I need all the help I can get as far as mental function goes. Let's hit it!

..................So, turns out it's hard to think of all the things you want to get off of your mind when actually given the chance...I'm having a visual of all my buck-toothed, useless thoughts running (more like tripping) to the corners of my mind and hiding under sofas. You will not evade me!

Sometimes I think Audrey looks like spider man when she's trying to walk/crawl. I wouldn't be surprised if she sprouted webs from her wrists and started flying around the house.

The Dragon has been under the weather the past few days and as a result is uncharacteristically sleepy and snugly. She fell asleep in bed with us this morning. (This NEVER happens) Her little head was propped up on my arm and I loved every minute of it...even though my hips still hurt from laying on my side for so long.

For anyone having/thinking of ever having a baby: Everyone says your body will never be the same after childbirth and I, like most, assumed this meant the proportions of your body. Don't be stupid. They actually mean everything. I honestly don't think my hips will ever be pain free again and that's just the tip of the iceburg. For anyone interested in the topic, I'll send you my manuscript of "What the people telling you 'what they don't tell you' aren't telling you"

Audrey has recently started saying "yeah baby". At least we know she'll be able to secure a job as a construction worker if nothing else pans out.

I am now officially obsessed with free stuff and coupons. I don't know how or why this started, but I'm a woman possessed. I've actually been thinking about starting a new blog about it. That is, if I can wade through the mountain of free Cheerios/Golden Grahams to get to the computer. (But seriously, I've cut our grocery bills nearly in half...I am awesome.)

Also, before I go, I have a couple public service announcements:

First: The Schweighardt family has finally decided to start pronouncing their last name correctly. Why? Because there is no such thing as a silent "g" in German. John and I recently found out that the "g" used to be pronounced until his Great Grandfather decided to change it...because he didn't like the way the German language sounded. We thought that was a dumb reason. Nuff said.

Second & Last: Some of you know this, but for those who don't: The official theme of Audrey's first birthday party is going to be "silly hats". So, dust off your Viking helmets and propeller beanies, it's going to be a rollicking good time!
