D-day + 3

Well nothing has happened yet. Yeah, I know Gabe...I am such a slacker :-) Believe me if it was up to me we would be done with this already, but apparently "bump" has ideas of it's own.

So I went to the doctor today, nothing really exciting. We did schedule a day to be induced, Nov. 28th (will be ten days late by that time). I am praying that it doesn't have to come to that though, I would much rather it happen naturally. I'm sure all of you moms out there can understand. The doctor said "well since this is your second you probably won't need an epidural", I was thinking "yeah, but I might want one!". Inducing isn't usually the easiest and pain free way to go, hence the praying.

On to other things. Tuesday night we had some mighty winds come through (if you haven't seen the movie it is worth watching : -) ). It was one of those nights that if we had been in Indiana there would be a tornado warning out. Of course nothing happened, not even a drop of rain. I looked out the window and it was so smoky/ foggy looking. I asked Brandon why it was looking like that and he said it was probably dust. At the time I didn't even think about the repercussions a dust storm can have on the house, it might have saved me some cleaning time if I had. Because it was so hot we left the windows open all night, the next morning I awoke to a nice layer of dust, dirt, bits of plant covering everything within 8 feet of a window. When I swept the floor little plumes of dirt drifted through the air. Lovely : -) It is really starting to get dry. The backyard has these deep cracks in it, I'm afraid one might suddenly open a little more and swallow Jolene. These are a few pics of the yard...

Tonight we have our last Fellowship meeting until summer is over. This Saturday is the day we are celebrating Thanksgiving. We are getting together with a bunch of Americans from our church and from a couple other churches. I think I will make sweet potato casserole and of course green bean casserole. Here is something for you, did you know that Australia does not have graham crackers? Isn't that strange? I mean they are graham crackers!!!! Puts a damper on making chocolate eclair.

p.s. This is my favorite cereal right now. I have consumed almost an entire 600g box in a week, yum! They look like bricks but taste much better! How is that for advertising : -)



p.p.s. What I'm listening to right now : Smashing Pumpkins - Siamese Dream
