Good Times on the Oregon Coast.

We just spent the last few days on the Oregon Coast and had a really good time (besides the fact that I got sick and spent most of the last two days on the couch with a fever...oh well). No....we normally do not go on vacation, especially when we don't have a job but....we had already payed for it and we could NOT pass up the opportunity to see all the Thiessen's. It had been far too long (6 years) and most of them had not met the boys. Besides, they are too much fun. So....we went and what a fun time it was.

By the way, for anyone who suffers from chronic car sickness (which I do) I have a solution. A good one too. These....



....are called "sea bands" and fight against motion sickness. I was soooo nauseous the last few days we were there (something to do with this bug and the twisty roads) that i wanted to hurl every time we were in the car. So, on the ride home I put them on and I felt awesome the whole time. I could even read. It was great. Rob thinks it is all in my head but to this I say......WHO CARES. He is constantly teasing me about them and thinks that if I put them in the trunk and tell myself that they will still help, then they will. Real funny, huh? Anyway, supposedly they can help with morning sickness too. I have had them for YEARS and have never tried them with pregnancy. I will have to try them next time. I'll let y'all know.

Goodbye days of summer bliss.....hello reality.

Those seabands totally worked for me my last pregnancy! That is funny what Rob said about putting them in the trunk and they'll have the same effect... such a man thing to say! I was laughing so hard at your "Mad house running skills" blog entry. I'm glad I'm not the only one in the never-ending abyss of chaos. As long as my kitchen's clean before I head to bed, I am happy. Cuz, that's just about the only room in the house that I can really control. I need your phone number! My phone died a couple months ago, and I lost every single one of my contacts! It totally sucked! Anyway, email it to me, or something.... I don't want you to have to post it on your blog! :)
