Gas for my horses

K...I know the song is "beer for my horses" but I can't drink beer, so GAS for my horses will have to do. I woke up 2x this morning with charlie horses in the same spot- my right chin. (shin?) The 2nd time I broke down and ate 1/2 a banana. Ms. thang kicking me the whole time. She really is trying to prepare me for the hell/joy that is about to ensue.

Gas...eh what needs to be said that hasn't been said about it before. I should improve my technique, maybe try some new positions to make my case more audible. P likes to pull his foot to his back in a strech-like manuever that is quite effective. Although if I try that, I may not be able to get out of it or move for the next 3 days.

Speaking of which, my flexibility=out the window. I am having problems just pulling my foot up on my leg to get a glimpse of my removed and healing ingrown toenail. Same goes for clipping my raptors...I do 2 nails and have to put my foot down and take a breather. A couple of weeks ago we took ol one eye to the optomitrist...I felt like I ran 3 miles. With these hormones, looks like I'll be running a lot of marathons.

This labor day will be relaxing and working on the outdoor patio closet. It is packed to the brim of camping gear, which will hopefully get one last use this month before we get our permanent company. We were lucky to receive some new pieces for camping at both of our bridal showers...unfortunately we haven't utilized many of them yet. Oh well...we'll just have to see. I was thinking September was really the only option month-wise for camping. I don't know if I want to give birth Little House on the Prairie style...though what a story it would be ;)

I really over-worked myself yesterday. Went grocery shopping to both Wal-Mart and Coscto (oh how I love those free-samples) which lasted a couple of hours. Got home and cleaned the fridge and pantry, put away the groceries and cooked dinner and dessert- Chicken & biscuits w/dumplings (it is chicken & veggies in a gravy) with rice and homemade lemon bars. Everything tasted great....I was dissapointed with the lemon bars though. The recipe I used was a new one, borrowed from my great-grandma Langlois. I greased the pan even though it didn't call for it...in hindsight, I suppose the 2 cups of butter used for the crust would suffice in helping it not stick. The lemon mixture seeped to the bottom of the crust...so I had inverted lemon bars. Next time- no greasing, and I am going to make a double batch of the lemon...and buy some vanilla ice cream to go with.

I hope everyone has a great labor day! Don't work too hard. =)
