Labor Day and such...

Ahhh. The anticipation of Labor Day. I m not talking about the pig roast down the street that takes place every year either.
I had an easy pregnancy so all of a sudden I have insomnia and I am grouchy and my back hurts. I know this is intentional so that us mothers will be so tired by the time baby arrives that all we want is to get it over with. This helps with the intense pain that comes with labor.
Unlike some people, I have never forgotten how bad it hurts so up until this week I have been more content being pregnant than delivering again. After the last few days I have to say, I am ready. Pain and all!
Back to the pig roast... I do look forward to this labor day event every year as do my kids as they get to see the dead pig lowered into the ground and cook all day. Glad we will not miss it although I won't be enjoying it quite as much this year with a newborn.
Side note..All those years we threatened soap when our kids said bad words I have never actually followed through. I can say however that tabasco sauce is quite effective as Charlotte is the first child to actually need something done about her sailor talk. Since Joey put hot sauce in her mouth no one has been called a jackass by her.
Sad news..Our 1 and a half yr old cat died. My kids were so sad so we adopted another. However at the shelter amongst the sea of kittens was one lonely 2 yr old cat that had been there since March. We talked the kids into saving her and she is very grateful to have a home. She fits right in too. She could use a breast reduction and is missing a couple teeth so what better place for her to spend her years than in the Dena! BTW.. The girls named her Cupcake. Poor Joey and Aaron, they are so outnumbered!
