This week my sweet three and a half year old nephew warned me about the perils of taking a bath in my current condition…

I’ve been increasingly sore in my hips lately, so I like to take warm baths to ease the aching.  On the way to the bathroom, I grabbed some pajamas to change into for after I had taken my bath.  Ed asked me what I was doing because he must have noticed the change of clothes, so I told him I needed to go take a bath.  He said, “are you using Ed’s bath or daddy’s bath??”  I didn’t think much of his question because I figured he must just be concerned I’d play with his bath toys and mess them up or something.  I always use the bath tub in Mike and Alisha’s room because it’s one of those jacuzzi tubs that’s bigger, so I told Ed that I was going to use daddy’s tub.  Ed replied, “that’s good…you’re too big for Ed’s bath.”  Well gee thanks Ed…glad you noticed. :/

Ed then followed me down the hallway to Mike’s room and as I closed the door to lock it behind me said, “Kasey, don’t get stuck in there.”  Ahhhh….you have to love a concerned three year old. :D  I’m just glad that Makena isn’t old enough to chime in yet…

We also got hit with a ton of snow this past week, which is great for Mike’s business.  In the summer, his business revolves around asphalt and in the winter it’s focus changes to plowing snow.  He and his employees have contracts with different businesses in town, so the more snow that comes in, the more money they all make.  He has seven trucks with plows on them and drivers that operate each vehicle so I wanted to see how everything operated during a big storm.  I haven’t been sleeping well anyway, so Mike and I left home at about 11 pm last Thursday night to go plow.  It was neat to see how all of his guys are organized to get things done in the most efficient way possible and interesting to see how each of them does things just a little differently.  I made sure I had some snacks and water with me, but I didn’t end up eating the snacks because I actually got a little car sick while we were out there.  I think it’s because you have to go back and forth so much that it makes you a little queasy…plus Mike really drives pretty fast out there to get things done quickly.  I’m glad I went though and I’d go again with him…I enjoyed being able to spend some more time with him and it was really pretty to be out in a big snow storm like that.

Alan let me know that his boss might let him come back to see the birth of the weeha, which I am so grateful for.  I’d be so excited just to see him again and for him to be here to meet our son.  He emailed me about it this morning and it has really made my whole day sunnier.  It would be a lot of traveling for him, but I’m glad he’s willing to do it.  I’m really hoping he gets to come. :D

To those of you who check my blog regularly…I’m sorry this is a day or so late.  It’s also going to be a short one because it’s already late here and I’m getting pretty sleepy.  Thanks for reading and I’ll see you next week…only three more to go!!
