Currently MIA

I apologize for being MIA lately but I have a good reason.  It's called 'The First Trimester' and it is EXHAUSTING! Between working all day, running errands and going to doctor appointments, all I want to do when I get home is SLEEP.  And sleep I do! So for this first part of pregnancy I apologize for my lack of really exciting, awesome, and inspiring educational posts.  I may find some energy once and awhile but bear with me as I make my way to the second trimester.  :)

Ok.  Explanations where needed:

LOVING:  College football!! This is my favorite time of year. Not only does it mean my Saturday's are full for the next couple months but it also means that Fall is right around the corner.  Thankfully living in northern FL, we do experience some climate change....and I.CAN.NOT.WAIT.

This past Saturday I literally laid on the couch all day watching Game Day and lots of football games {I usually just lay on the couch all day on Saturday's anyways}!  Go Seminoles!! :)

THINKING/WANTING/NEEDING: Well, I kinda already vented about that at the top but these three really go together.  This is my first pregnancy and I'm at the end of my first trimester and I am SO ready!  I literally do nothing but eat and sleep all day long {on the weekends and when I get home on 'school days'}.  I am one who is always busy doing something so this is really hard for me.  My house is a wreck.  I look at piles of clothes and junk and get so exhausted just thinking about all that needs to be done, I go to sleep!

Cooking...forget about it.  I've made my hubby get take out most of my first trimester. And washing dishes....I'd rather not.  Am I suppose to be like this?  

Am I suppose to have ZERO energy and lack motivation to do the slightest of things?  

I must say, I miss my pool days, workouts, and being a 'busy-body' with my friends.  I can not wait for that to go back to normal! 

For me this month, I really want to begin working out at least 3x a week.  I was an avid exerciser until I became pregnant. {read above for reasons why I am no longer}  I bought the Tracy Anderson Pregnancy Project and love it!  Just gotta get some energy to do it!

Get a massage...well what pregnant girl doesn't want a massage?  Heck, what GIRL doesn't want a massage?  I really want one.

Get sub plans...this summer right when I first became pregnant I created a long-term sub binder.  I wanted to get a head start on getting prepared for when I am gone on maternity leave.  Well, I haven't done anything since making the packet. I had all these wonderful intentions to get a head start so that when I'm feeling exhausted and overwhelmed with school and being preggo, I wouldn't have to worry about it.  I'm slacking already.  So this month, I want to get most of it printed and set up.  I can worry about the actual plans later, but I've got to get going!!! :)

If you've stuck around and listened to me vent, I thank you.  I don't want to turn this blog of mine into a dusty website or all about being preggo, but right now...that's all I can do.  I'm off to try to begin cleaning this house of mine.  Sadly, I already foresee the couch in my near future! :)

Happy Labor Day, friends!
