WhAt'S oN yOuR mInD?

Well...I thought I would just post the top 5 or so things that have been on my mind lately. So...here we go.

Numero Uno. I realize that the summer is ending! It has been getting darker earlier and it is cooler at nights. And...Annelise has her very last day of swim lessons tomarrow! I might be done with swimming altogether after tomarrow! That is actually kinda sad. She has really come far with her swimming and now can swim all by herslf for about 15 yards until she starts to loose confidence. I took her to get icecream to celebrate and I must say that I am so glad she is doing so well with it. Her teacher says she is just so tiny and then surprises you with a swim to the side! And I must say I am jealous of her tan little body. I am just the Shamu mom watching on the side with Aaron but I am a little sad it is ending. And with the soon passing of summer...that means school is starting soon to! Preschool again for Annelise and don't I wish Aaron was old enough for something!

Numero Dos. I am so not ready for three kids. I wouldn't even mind if the due date was farther away! I am just so afraid of what I am in for- (all you veteran moms are laughing at me now I know it!) Annelise is excited and Aaron has no idea whats going to happen soon. And me, I just know I am about to be so sleep deprived with three kids who need a mom...and there may be only scary-monster-brittanny-mom left for them! They are such sweet kids and I hope I can deliver for them.

Numero Tres. I am just about out of energy to do any last minute summer projects! It has been a pretty project-oriented last couple of months...and I must say I am done! We did a cute border/paint job in Aaron's room...and some paneling in Annelise's room and quite a few other big projects. Josh got pretty good with a nail gun and saw and showed his true manly side...and I decided that I have absolute respect for all the finish-work guys out there. It is way harder than it looks! I am just now getting all the paint out from under my fingernails and vow to not start another project for a while!

Numero Cuatro. Come to find out...I am obsessed with the Olympics. I have stayed up way too late watching them each night and can't go to sleep unless I have had my fill! I am not sure if it is the pregnancy hormones or what but I have gotten teary-eyed numerous times! It has been amazing to watch Michael Phelps win 8 Golds and I loved watching the Americans win so many medals in gymnastics and I love love love watching track and field. Diving is another favorite and I am so proud of our great athletes representing over in Beijing!

Numero Cinco. Now that the Twilight series is officially over for me (I read all four books) I really need something great to get excited about. I am so glad I read them, and I did so enjoy them (sometimes a little too much!) So, I started reading Tom Clancy books again. There is nothing like a Tom Clancy novel. There is no wonder most of his books have been made into movies! I love his books because they involve politics and some current events and a whole bunch of hypotheticals that may not be so hypothetical if we really knew what went on in our government! They are going to keep my mind pretty occupied until this baby comes.

Well, that just happens to be what is on my mind lately...there is other stuff floating around in there- but those are just some highlights for ya. So tell me...what is the biggest issue on your mind lately?
