Let the coundowns begin!

College sucks!!! I have been there done that and have no intention of going back (don't quote me, sometimes I feel like I want to get another bachelor's. That is a whole other post). But college sucks for my husband. He is taking lame classes and he has major senioritis (really, why do you need to take a whole semester on the studying of algae? That is one of his classes). Anyway, I do have a point! Last week, Salvador and I decided to make one of those countdown chains (okay, I made it, Salvador just colored next to me) so that Sal could see how much longer he has. After the chain was done, he got this smile on his face and was like: "that's it?!" Yep, only one month and 5 days and he will receive his degree. Granted, he still has his credential, master's and doctorate BUT the bachelor's always seems to be the big one! I can't wait! I think I am more excited than him!

Countdown number 2: Baby is ALMOST here! Only 5 more days (if you don't count the actual day, then it is only 4). Next Tuesday, I will no longer be pregnant! YAY! I went to the doctor's today for my last checkup and everything was good. I have only gained 15 pounds in total, but I tell everyone 115 lbs so that it looks like I was super skinny when I started. I was complaining about last trimester things (lack of sleep, pain, constant movement, not being able to breathe, lack of sleep, etc...) and Dr. Chu was like, "I can take him tomorrow." At first I was like, okay but then I started to think and I told her no. She kind of looked at me funny and then I revealed my selfish reasons. I would've been in the hospital over Saturday and Sunday. When I am not having visitors or reading (which I intend on doing), I would be watching T.V. Well, there is nothing on T.V. those days and I don't want to be completely bored in the hospital, so I just kept it for Tuesday! Plus Sunday, my family would all be at church and then family dinner and my visitor count would be low. I HOPE I can last a couple more days!

Finally, having nothing to do with coundowns but here is how we have been spending our time in the heat and with little money!Playing red light, green light with cousins and friends!

Buying an inflatable pool and trying to stay cool! (Maybe Sal and I joined in on the fun!)
