A few of the mothers at Maddie's dance class on Saturday questioned me as to why I was wearing flip flops (or 'flippers' as Maddie calls them) when there were 50mph gusts outside and it wasn't that warm to say the least. I showed them my feet and they immediately started laughing. I told them I can't get my sneakers on (not to mention, I can barely tie them) or really any other shoes on anymore without a struggle. Faith insisted that I wear my sneakers yesterday and brought them to me on the couch. She's so funny about picking out Momma's shoes. It was quite the sight as I could barely get them to fit comfortably due to my swollen feet, and then my hands would go numb as I tried to fit my heel in through the back. Lovely.
I've also recently discovered that I have some beautiful plantar's warts on the bottom of my right foot.. probably a token gift from our trip to Florida! If swollen feet, numb and tingling hands, nerve pain that shoots up and down my right side, and back pain that can be quite excruciating weren't enough, now I'm insistent on getting nice new socks for delivery so nobody has to see my disgusting feet! Haha. Not to mention, last night I hurried to answer my phone when Nene was calling and I tripped over several Power Rangers that lay in the dark on the floor. That did wonders for my feet!

Dan and I decided to sleep out on the loveseat last night. It's hilarious because our bed has been overtaken by pretty little girls. It's my fault actually because ever since Dan has moved to third shift, I have moved them over to sleep with me since I hate having them in a different room when it's just us at home. I sleep much better knowing they are with me. Anyway, it's not that big of a deal until Dan is actually home on a break and as Maddie says "4 is just too many for our queen bed. We need a king bed like in our hotel!" Quite true actually. Maddie is known for laughing in her sleep- and sometimes kicking when she's having a bad dream- and Faith is well known for flailing herself horizontally in her sleep. Dan and I never sleep well when he is home. We make them a makeshift "bed" for the floor next to our bed with blankets and their pillows, but they still usually come up with us by about 4am. Anyway, we decided to sleep in the living room. And, it was wonderful. We were greeted by a little Crannie by 7:30am with a basket full of Power Rangers and I had to wake up Faith at a little past 8am. Not only did we sleep better, but they also slept better having our bed all to themselves! Little princesses.

Maddie decided during bathtime last night that should this baby be a boy, she likes the name Jason. Named after the 'Red Ranger' of course! These girls and their Power Rangers all of a sudden. And, Faith goes around saying "Billy Bluuue" for the Blue Ranger. It's too funny.
