Super Girl!

This weekend is my dad's wedding. He called me yesterday and said that the person who was suppose to do the ceremony can't come because of issues with his wife's cancer. That is understandable. So, now guess who gets to do the ceremony... YUP... me!!! So, I have a little over 24 hours to get something together... OH, and it needs to be in Spanish and English... AHHHHHH!!!!!!! It's a good thing I love my dad.

6 months pregnant with twins... I guess they see me as superwoman!

A visit from Santa

Here is a great picture of my hubby, the babies, and me. I had been out of it with a hurt back (coconut was pushing on my spine, causing some pinched nerves), but we were in the spirit. Dh was trying on his suit in preparation to be Santa at a children's hospital the next day.

Smokey Turkey

I had a whole new Thanksgiving this year... We went to my Mother in-law's. We cooked a turkey breast. Then she made instant mash potatoes and some quick microwaveble mac-n-cheese. It was an "instant" Thanksgiving!

One bad part was the fact that she is a chimney smoker. She didn't smoke out in the living room where we were most of the day, but she smoked in her room all night. By the time we left all of our clothes, bags, and pillows reeked of smoke! It was gross. I can't believe I was ever a smoker! I love her, but that was a bit too much for the babies, my Iron Man hubby, and I.

Nightmare... during the day

Yesterday my family came over for burgers. As we finished up dad and I ran up the road to sign some papers for a car we sold. It was only about a block or two. We finished up and hoped back in the 4-runner. For the first time, in as long as I can remember, I didn't put on my seat belt. We were talking... and it was just around the corner.

I'm at the turn before my house and a car squeals behind me. I look in the mirror and see a car of underaged teens going about 80mph swerving back and forth across the road. The road is a neighborhood and has a limit of 30mph. I screamed and grabbed my dad with my right hand (I guess I was trying to keep him in the seat). Then I swerved off the road onto the sidewalk... The car just barely missed us.

I got to the house, shaking so badly I could hardly walk. Dh came to me in our bedroom and I just flowed with tears. I was mad that I had taken the chance of not wearing my seatbelt. I was mad at the teens. I was scared and shaken. If we had been hit I would probably have hit the windshield... my stomach (containing my precious babies) would have hit the steering wheel. I came so close.

Please please please wear your seatbelt... No matter how far you are going!!!!
