The Whole World Stinks!

Well the morning was the pits...started out with a lovely jaunt to the car by the open reeking dumpsters, had my crackers and a mango protein shake...then had to run to catch the train, whose brakes were smoking REALLY bad, almost lost the crackers/protein shake getting on the train, spent the whole train ride with my sweater over my nose and finally after the LONGEST twenty-five mins of my life the train arrived in Lansdale where I ran to the cafe to grab a gingerale to keep the protein shake down...

My boss, Joe, was laughing at me when I finally stumbled in the office because apparently I was green! He apologized for laughing, but I told him if I was him I'd be laughing at me too! Been trying to keep food in me since as long as I have food in my stomach, I'm okay. Problem - this kid is eating through the food like it's water! It's like an alien invasion! Plus finding enough Gluten Free snacks is always a challenge...an apple doesn't fill you as long as a box of Cheez-Its...Boy, do I miss those...

Then the craving hit...Amy's Gluten Free Mac & Cheese...must have it NOW! Problem - no car...Solution - steal Dad's. So I ran over to the cafe demanded the keys (and no one would get hurt of course) and went to Giant. There it was so beautiful on the shelf...if it wasn't a completely frozen brick, I would've eaten half on the way back to my office! Problem solved *satisfied sigh*

Still queasy on and off, but as the day goes on it generally gets better...All I have to say is pregnancy makes me think of a silly story Mom told me when I was little about a man who had limburger cheese on his mustache and didn't know it, who found that it stunk everywhere he went and finally declared, "The Whole World Stinks." Here's to the superhero senses of us preggers!:) Can't wait to get to 14 weeks!

  1. Glad you didn't hurl on the train, although I would enjoy seeing you green like an alien - Beth
