Things are looking pretty good lately, well finances are still tight, but when is that not the case. But things are finally slowing down at my work to where my schedule should start to even out and normalize so it's under 24 hours a week and on a routine schedule as to when I work (which will be very nice) And Husband's schedule has always been really even, so we don't have to worry about that.
Things are just actually looking hopeful once again. And I'm not going to spoil them by mentioning all the bad things that are still floating around in my head.

I believe there is a tasmanian devil inside my womb
How far along: 25 weeks 1 day
Total weight gain/loss: 27 lbs
Sleep: I get sore, but when I fall asleep I'm pretty much down for the count
Best moment this week: Feeling Odin move lots when Husband is talking to him
Movement: oh good lord yes!
Symptoms: sore hips, and cravings
Symptoms I don't have: nausea is gone!
Food Cravings: popcorn, sweets one day and nothing sweet the next
Food Aversions: still have the whole 'this tastes delicious!' but only for 2 bites.
Gender: boy
Labor Signs: not yet
Belly Button in or out: still an innie
What I miss: sleeping on my stomach
What I'm looking forward to: showing more
Weekly Wisdom: enjoy the peace while you can.
Milestones: Odin is looking very long and lean, but in the months ahead will start gaining the trademark 'baby fat' If we could see inside, we could also tell what color hair Odin will have when he's born. He is now around 1 1/2 lbs and about the size of a rutabaga (such an oddly named veggie)

And yes, I did think the title was clever.
How far along: 24 Weeks
Total weight gain/loss: lost at least 25, will know more next week at the doctor visit

Best moment this week: feeling Odin really start moving when Husband was talking to him

Symptoms: tired, and sore hips
Symptoms I don't have: haven't had a lot of nausea lately (yay!)
Food Cravings: sweet things, and cheeseburgers
Food Aversions: anything tastes gross after about 3 bites
Gender: boy
Labor Signs: not yet
Belly Button in or out: still an innie
What I miss: being able to sleep through the night without having to wake up to pee
What I'm looking forward to: sleeping on my stomach again....
Weekly Wisdom: enjoy it while it lasts, right now I'm only having to wake up to pee, not wake up and take care of the baby a few times a night.
Milestones: Odin's starting to grow taste buds, and is very lanky, as long as an ear of corn, but will start plumping up soon.

lungs are developing into the 'branches' of the respiratory 'tree' As for me, it's starting to look like I'm smuggling a ball under my shirt.

Consistency and Change
Anyone who has gotten to know me, can very much agree with this fact about me: I hate change. I fight it with every fiber of my being. I like being set in my way, having my routine (thanks FlyLady) but with all the upheaval at work it's hard to keep everything in order. We are just having trouble keeping a full staff at work, which leads to more stress for everyone, and me having to schedule all sorts of arrangements for babysitting which is not always fun for my babysitters.
All in all I'm just hoping that the next person hired ends up working out and not being a flighty girl who says she'll show up and then never does, causing me to have to stay an extra THREE HOURS while my parents are waiting in my apartment for me to get home till 3am. It's just not an ideal situation.
Ugh, anyways, Husband has been helping out a lot around the house, and I have really been appreciating it. We've started to make a habit of not only cleaning the living room every night, but Husband vacuums it for me while I sweep the kitchen and take care of dinner dishes. He's really been stepping up lately, and it's been a big help to me, not to mention one less thing for me to worry or stress about.

Nothing really nice to say, but nice to get off my chest
I have been dealing with a lot of anger lately, and some days I would even say rage about things that are going on in my life. The way people are treating each other, my in-laws still sticking their noses up in the air and ignoring my attempts at even being polite. (not all of them thankfully) People yelling about politics more than normal calling each other wrong without even trying to talk about it.
Speaking of politics, I just want to line up all the democrats and republicans (and even the president) and just take a switch to their backsides, just 3 swats each and tell them that if they are going to argue and bicker like children they will be treated like children, given their punishment and sent to bed without supper to think about how they are treating the American people because they are to f-ing stubborn to even be civil to each other. UGH!
I am also just failing in talking to people without getting riled up and angry about things. Thankfully none of this has happened at work. Although if I get another call from the 'private caller' asking me if I've ever been to a bachelorette party I'm going to want to just hang up on him since it's not possible to slap him over the phone -yet-
Just GRR! It's probably a good thing I'm not allowed to carry around a switch, a very good thing.
