Hooray! I hope they keep it up!
Wow that stinks. I can't believe that they ticket people for being out on the roads. They never do this around here for anything. Of course most things don't shut down other than schools and children's activities. I guess they figure that if you live in Vermont as an adult then you should know how to get around in it
From the sound of it Kyle isn't home enough to notice if the house is a mess. If it is just you there then I say forget about the house and keep yourself well rested. Those babies need a happy Mama. Besides, once they're born your house will never look the same anyway. Trust me

I figure that I've got another 17 years before I will be able to totally reclaim my house
Regarding the ticketing, it only happens in Level III emergencies, which don't even happen once a year.
As for the house, Kyle is home some and is WONDERFUL about it while he's here ... it's all me. I'm a perfectionist, and it's driving me nuts. Truthfully though, if you could see my house (and I know you all will say I'm wrong but I would be you money on it, and you can ask me in 2 years

) ... I have been so down for the count during this pregnancy, that my house will be a bit better for having kids because even if I only clean 15 minutes a week it will be more than I've done in months!
Amy and Jennifer, one of my good friends told me today they are moving to Cincinnati at the end of school. I'm going to email you and copy her. They are looking in Woodward and ?? Have a 4 year old, 1st grader, and 3rd grader. They are from Ohio and are huge OH State fans (and grads, I think). I told them I was sure you'd be able to help.
I kept reading and realized you aren't sure if it's Woodward.... I don't know, but I'm guessing it's maybe not. I'd love to try and help, especially if they are Buckeyes!
I'm so sorry I didn't do a thorough job catching up. I worked until just now (7pm). I really couldn't have gotten away with staying home. Yes, my babies come first... which is why I'm thinking I will be written out of work before I'm even on bedrest, because I just have too much on my plate there some weeks. Unfortunately, short of a doctor's order, etc, I am too directly responsible to major state and federal agencies that I just have to work sometimes. Thankfully, I've really taken to working shorter days when I can, and you better believe I take advantage of it when the opportunity arises! I just have 7 major surveys that could knock on the door any day, that we have to be ready for. Thankfully, it's cake physically! If i were still working in a hospital, I would be on bedrest by now!
Have I mentioned how much I love my job?

Just a few more months!
Now, I have to rearrange my schedule for the rest of the week since my regional DOCS wasted 9 hours of my week today... then I need to debrief a bit and go to bed!
Have a good evening!
