Welcome!!!

Lelah Riley was born on Friday, April 24th. She is 5 lbs 15 oz, and 19 1/2". She was 2 and a half weeks early, which means I just have that much longer now. :/ You see, Jalee was due 15 weeks before me, but since she was early, I still have 17 weeks left!! BLAH. Anyway, I went to see Lelah Friday night, but she was in the NICU because the respitory therapist wanted to watch her closer, so I didn't get to see her until around noon the next day. She's so tiny and so pretty. I expected her to look just like her siblings did, but she didn't! She's got kind of strawberry blonde hair (and very little of it), and everyone says she looks like Jalee's grandma. But of course I had to ask Lelah if she'd talked to her future cousin and found out his name...she kept quiet...figures.
This weekend, I had been looking at my kitchen floor thinking, "I need to really clean this darn thing". So finally I got to it. I hate mops, don't really beleive in them (they just push the dirt around), so I sweep and wet swiffer my floors, but every few weeks I just have to get down and scrub it with a sponge. So Sunday was the day. grrrrr. I hate doing it!! And I've put it off too long, being pregnant and not feeling good and all. So I got down on my butt and did it. I sat on my butt the whole time because I have a bad knee that won't allow me to kneel on it. So I scooted around with Gizmo bugging me the whole time, trying to get close to the action. It took me an hour and a half!!! GOOD HELL!! When I finally got up, I could barely stand and barely walk. My hips and legs hurt so bad. Today was very painful too. Getting out of bed, I remembered the pain, "OH NO, that HURTS". Stupid dirty textured crappy linolium. At least I have a very clean kitchen floor now....lets just see how long that lasts.

This is just how life seems to be going lately!

You know money is tight when the soap in your shower looks like this: (Ignore my creepily long hand)

And you almost risk your life to dive after it if it falls so that it doesn't slide down the drain! So desperate to use every last millimeter of it, then when it's finally gone, you just hope you have enough soap scum on the shower walls that you can just roll around in there! (Ok.....I'm TOTALLY kidding about that last part...I don't like a gross bathroom, and I had cleaned the bathroom right after I took this picture). But when I was cleaning the bathroom, I bumped the soap and it quickly slipped down the drain, before I could dive after it! :( Freakin soap!
Rob worked this weekend, which is always sucky. But on Saturday, as he was going through a GREEN light, some teenager ran a red light to try to get in front of him, and Rob couldn't stop in time...so SCREEEECH BAM!! He hit her.

It wasn't really that bad, a little fender bender, but it still sucks! Rob felt bad anyway, and made sure she was ok. Good thing I put him and his truck on my car insurance 2 weeks ago!! The lame thing is: the cop that responded was the girl's brother-in-law. So ROB got the ticket! (for following too close, of course), and the girl was under age, and they couldn't get ahold of her parents, so they had to transport her in an ambulance. So Rob felt even worse. So YAY! now our car insurance can go up! WOOHOO PARTY!....ok.........yeah......Freakin teenagers!
