Randomness...I'm Bored

This has been a great birthday weekend. And...I have given Peanut the chance to practice blowing out the candles on Mommy's cake so that he will be ready to blow out the candles on his own little cake in just 9 days. Wow! My baby's going to be a year old...soon...How did the year go by so fast?

I finally feel pregnant. I feel heavy. And tired. And so EXCITED! I am going to have two little rugrats to play with in just 4 months. Yeah!

I am reading Jane Eyre again. Such a wonderful book. I love Jane...and Helen Burns...and Adelle...and Mrs.Fairfax...and even Bessie. I wonder if very many people have crazy wives in their attics who eventually burn down their houses? For those of you who haven't read the book - and shame upon you if you haven't - I wouldn't know where I got that idea. Read the book. I promise that I didn't give anything away...well, sort of. Just read it.

As soon as baby has arrived, I am thinking of only doing housework in a pretty dress and high heels...and a frilly apron with pockets and lace. I think that I could get more done that way. Oh...and pearls. And everynight when the babies are sleeping...I will pull out my workbasket and discuss politics with Hubby while I quilt or mend things. And I will serve a congealed salad with dinner at least one night a week...though I would never eat that crap...or let my babies eat that. Yucky! (It has horse's hooves in it.) And my babies will always have brushed hair and matching clothes...not matching to each other, though. And everything will be freshly ironed and starched. Including the handmade crocheted doilies lying around the house. And I will always have a small lamp on a table by an armchair near the window so that our house looks welcoming from the outside on cold, wintry nights. And it will smell like apple pie all year long. When it doesn't smell like freshly squeezed lemons. And people will slip up every once and again and call me "Mrs.Cleaver" or "Mrs. Reed." But only not on the days that me and my little wild Indians go outside and make mudpies or have "Act Like A Pirate Day"...
