Sunday Afternoon Blogging

So, I didn't write yesterday. I suppose this was due to pure exhaustion. I woke up at 7:00a.m. after I chugged Nighttime Sleep Medicine the night before. I had to be at McGhee at 8:30 for a cheerleading stunt clinic put on by the Lewiston High School varsity cheerleaders. Sacajawea cheerleaders (my squad) and the Jenifer cheerleaders were both there. As it turns out this was a great experience for all involved. It gave me an opportunity to watch an inspiring coach who knows cheerleading inside & out in action. It gave the Jenifer coach a chance to see what she's missing out on. It gave the Jenifer cheerleaders a chance to see what real cheerleading looks like. It gave the Sac. cheerleaders a chance to see what good teamwork looks like. It gave my assistant coach a chance to see what an assistant coach actually does. And it gave the LHS cheerleaders the recognition they deserve for being so talented. Overall, it was the chance of the year we all needed--a great opportunity. I struggled through the headache I went to bed with and was 'blessed' to still have in the morning. I came home and hit the coach for the remainder of the afternoon and then went to Tom & Kathy Greene's house for Clay's birthday. Kathy makes the best meals ever! So we enjoyed some good food, watched home videos of Ryan, Kyle, and Clay from when they were little shits, and then came home. If you're thinking "Good, sounds like her headache went away and she had a nice evening" - you're wrong. I chugged more Nighttime Sleep Medicine and went straight to bed when I got home. Only to awake again this morning with the same headache.

I'm not sure what's been going on the last couple of days. I am just purely exhausted. My body is weak, my eyes hurt, my head hurts, I'm dizzy, and most of all I'm just TIRED. I know what you're thinking, "SHE'S PREGNANT!" I assure you, I'm not. I've been on the same birth control consistently every month for the last year and a half now. Nathan also wears a second protection every time we have sex. We aren't ready for a baby yet so we are very careful. Not to mention my last menstration cycle ended yesterday. But I would like to know what is going with my body. I blame the weather.

So every once in awhile Nathan says something that lets me into his mind & heart. Sometimes I think I know that guy inside & out and then one of these moments occurs when I realize I still have a lot to learn about him. Hence the following: The two of us are sitting in the living room watching t.v. and Nathan says, "You don't know this but I have been thinking about kids a lot lately. I want one. I mean not right now, but soon." He's going to be a good dad. He loves kids. But he's right, I had no idea that he's been thinking about liking them lately.

Fact: My body jiggles a lot more when I jump around these days.
