In all honesty... I am exhausted. The combination of finishing up a renovation, chasing a 17 month old, and being 33 weeks preggo is exhausting me. But I have so much to be thankful for... and that's what I am trying to focus on this week. And knowing that all of the above was brought on by choice!
The house is almost done. Maybe I will feel a little more rested when it is complete since my brain won't be swirling with thoughts at night? Who am I kidding? We own about 10% of what we need for downstairs... so my next task is to start thinking about the decorating aspect of the house now that the construction is finishing up. I have promised my husband that I am completely okay with the house being empty. I really am. I am just ready for it to be finished and clean and the kitchen up and running. I am perfectly fine with the fact that we will have no furniture in the den (for awhile).
Here are some shots from when I got home from a weekend away yesterday.... I took these with my iphone and didn't plan on posting them on the blog but here they are (so please excuse the mess all around).

Floors are being sanded and stained this week. Fingers crossed that we can move in downstairs (since we are already living upstairs) the first weekend in December... that would make a great birthday weekend!

I really don't know how you are doing it all! I was not nearly this organized when I was pregnant with number 2. Your house is gorgeous, and just remember, it's totally fine to have empty rooms for awhile. Our dining room was empty for what seemed like forever. My kiddos would have "sliding competitions" in there with their friends in sock feet! You will get there, I promise. M.
BOYCOTT AMERICAN WOMEN
Why American men should boycott American women
Boycott American Women
I am an American man, and I have decided to boycott American women. In a nutshell, American women are the most likely to cheat on you, to divorce you, to get fat, to steal half of your money in the divorce courts, don't know how to cook or clean, don't want to have children, etc. Therefore, what intelligent man would want to get involved with American women?
American women are generally immature, selfish, extremely arrogant and self-centered, mentally unstable, irresponsible, and highly unchaste. The behavior of most American women is utterly disgusting, to say the least.
This blog is my attempt to explain why I feel American women are inferior to foreign women (non-American women), and why American men should boycott American women, and date/marry only foreign (non-American) women.
Tens of millions of American men have had their lives completely destroyed by American women through the following crimes:
1. False rape accusations (it has been proven that up to 80 percent of rape accusations are FALSE)
2. False DV charges (same as above)
3. Financial RAPE of men in divorce courts
4. Emotional destruction of men by ex-wives who have stolen their children from them and forbidden contact
5. Divorced dads who commit suicide as a result
Not one single American woman has EVER condemned their fellow American women for committing these crimes against men. Silence means consent. Therefore, American women support and enjoy destroying men's lives and causing men to commit suicide. Therefore, is it any surprise that a huge percent of American men no longer want anything to do with American women, other than using them for easy sex and then throwing them away?
Over 50 percent of American women are single, without a boyfriend or husband; so the fact is most American men no longer want to marry American women. Let these worthless American women grow old living alone with their 10 cats.
