Preface: I had to make a new design in order to work with the new upgrade. Some of the old skins will be brought back eventually, but not right now. If you have HAD an old skin setup at one point in time, things will probably look like shit on your computer. You’ll need to click HERE to get things working again. I HOPE. If you missed the chaos of the weekend on this site? Consider yourself lucky. I wish I had missed it.

It was a VERY long weekend. We got a lot accomplished, which is a nice feeling. MrZ finally got LilZ’s ceiling fan installed in his room, which, after realizing how screwed up things were ABOVE the celing? That was quite a chore. We’re realizing (this is the second bizarro situation we’ve found with light fixtures in this house) that the people who owned the house before us, were on crack. Quite possibly.

Tonight is our second childbirth class. I never posted about the last one because of the bullshit that errupted Monday night last week. What you need to know for now? We have a “that guy and his wife” in the class who skipped an entire excercise because “He already knows how I like my back rubbed, I should rent him out.” So they VERY blatantly sat there ignoring the whole excercise where the mom massages the coaches back the way she would like it if she were in pain so he’ll know what to do when she’s in labor. It was actually a good excercise and MrZ got to be the teacher’s guinea pig as she demonstrated pressure points on the hands to the class.

(Of course, “That Guy” had to ask her about the pressure points on the backs of the shoulders and tell her those were good ones to use, and she should talk about those too.)

We are the second furthest along in the pregnancy which was reassuring when I realized I was a GIANT compared to all the women walking into the classroom. I was cursing at MrZ as I was analyzing each couple: “She’s not even wearing MATERNITY jeans for chrissakes.” And becoming more and more irritated with each cute and pregnant woman that walked in.”She had better be in her first trimester, if she’s not? I’m kicking her ass.”

I’m so mature.

The teacher is really cool and this class is a lot different than the one I had with LilZ (which was ALSO cool) so I’ve been really fortunate so far. Hopefully, we’ll get a lot out of it. If nothing else, at least some good blog material. I could use it since my brain is officially fried from the weekend.

Please keep our family in Slidell, LA in your thoughts today. It looks like they’re having a worse Monday than any of us.
