Purging

I LOVE getting rid of junk. I don't know what it is. I just love to clean house and end up with a bag full of stuff to donate, recycle or trash. I just really hate clutter. It's no wonder I don't have many things. I've given up collecting things because it just takes up space. I cleaning Annaleese's room and went through her toy box and ended up with a small bag of useless toys to get rid of. Got rid of old phone books- I know who needs those any more?But Scott likes to have one or two around, despite my hatred for them. We live in a digital world with internet on our phones - join the revolution and look it up there. Anyway there was really no point to this. Just that I love getting rid of useless items. I'm gonna have more soon because I'll be prepping the back room for the new little one.

I hate Maternity Clothes!

Okay first off, I barrowed the title; secondly, it's so true.

So I was out shopping, specifically for a swimsuit for my upcoming disney trip. And I've had a hell of a time finding something that either looks decent, and doesn't cost a small fortune. Conclusion: That just doesn't exist. I looked at the maternity outlet, ross, Kohls, and target here in town. Nothing. Ross didn't have maternity suits, neither did Kohls, the maternity store had terribly ugly and expensive ones, and Target's just left an awful taste in my mouth. I came home with one shirt I got at Ross. Feeling defeated I tried it on, and that damn thing doesn't fit!

I think the clothes is the one thing I hate most about being pregnant. It's like we are a forgotten people. What do we get to wear? Ugly tent like shirts, and pants with a stretchy panel that don't stay up? It's times like these I wish I knew how to sew. At least that way I could create something that is stylish and fits. Don't get me wrong, there are some cute stuff out there for maternity wear, but I swear you have to have lots of money to spend. I don't have the kind of money to spend on a new wardrobe that will only fit me for a few months. I also happen to think that's just stupid. Why does affordable have to also mean ugly?

When I got home from shopping the other day I found this article in my news feed. Fitting. http://blogs.babycenter.com/mom_stories/i-hate-maternity-clothes/

Vindication

Our Nation is Celebrating Coast to Coast upon hearing the news the Osama Bin Laden has been confirmed dead. Finally, he can no longer hurt our amazing country, and no one else can fall victims because of him. His victims from the September 11, 2001 attacks can now, finally rest in peace.

Today is a great day in history. Thank you to our brave Military, for fighting all these years.
