Home Alone.

I had this post planned out for yesterday, but Mr. Skinny got a surprise rain day, so he was home by 10:30am and we enjoyed our surprise day together by going over to his parents house where he had a fight with his brother and changed the truck oil. So. Much. Fun. Of course, this pregnant lady got involved and had to yell to, which lead to tears. BUT I got to use the "you're stressing me out which stresses the baby out" line, and that shut Mr. Skinny right up. I wasn't really stressed, but I'm pregnant, I can use whatever excuse I want, right? Unfortunately, my brother-in-law didn't shut right up and continued to curse up a storm. If he curses like that in front of my baby, he is going to get an earful from me, that's a promise right there.

Anyway, fighting aside it was a good day. I love these days with Mr. Skinny. After the six days he got off for Thanksgiving, I got a little spoiled and realized how much I miss him around when he's working six day a week and gone for about 13 hours a day. I am lucky though that I have his family and mine around so that I'm never home alone. Except for this week.

My parents will be married for 25 years on December 27th (our anniversary too!) so they are in Disney World this week, leaving me, my brother, and Mr. Skinny home alone all week. It's actually kind of nice because we don't have to follow Mom's "rules" of only putting certain dishes in the dishwasher and cleaning up the dining room table each night. I'm not gonna lie, I feel like I'm playing house. I put ALL the dishes in the dishwasher and run it every night, our dining room table looks like a bomb went off there, and I haven't washed the table off since Sunday. Half of me feels like a little kid who is free, and the other half is most definitely turning into my mother and cleaning up after everyone else and being responsible for my brother and making sure he's home before the snow started last night, even though he didn't come home until an hour after I asked him to and said the roads were bad. Ugh. But that's an 18 year old male high school student, right? In other news, he got into college this week! He didn't even care, but it totally made my pregnant hormones kick in and I cried when he told me I could open the envelope and saw that he was accepted!

After the fight, we went over to visit Mr. Skinny's grandma who is the grandma I never had. She always knows what's wrong, she knows what to ask, and she has an answer for everything. Oh, and she always has food :) She informed us that we need to start looking for a crib because she wants to buy us one! AND a mattress. Super exciting news for us! I didn't expect her to do that for us. Granted, she did buy us a couch and recliner when Mr. Skinny mentioned (jokingly) that we still needed one before we got married, so I shouldn't be too surprised. She's awesome. I'm so blessed to be in such a loving family and have such generous and loving in-laws, too.

Sorry for the random, picture-less, all over the place post, but that's what's going on!

Don't forget I have a post planned out for tomorrow about the baby's sex and if we want to find out. If you have any questions for me to make those predictions let me know and I'll include them!
