A watched pot never goes into labor

Well I have been gone from work for the last 4 days so I came into an ass load of emails that I need to respond to. However I wanted to take a moment to post on my blog because I told myself I would still post even when I am not working and I have not been doing that so since I am feeling a lot of discomfort I figure I would blog now while I still have it in me.

First off my lower back is hurting me in a new way. Starting yesterday I began having this awful pain in my low back, sitting is pretty uncomfortable and so is walking. I take all pain as a good sign that this is almost over and by this I mean pregnancy and by pregnancy I mean the longest experience in the world. I just wish that the discomfort was not accompanied by homicidal feelings. I have refrained from killing anyone but if this is how I feel now when I am not in labor, well I just feel so bad for Teddydigital and my Douala. Actually anyone that is going to be near me, I should just make my amends now in advance. Since I am already complaining I just want to say that my right contact has decided that it no longer wants to work and so my computer screen is blurry and that is really on a nerve as well. I have heard that your contacts can act up when you are pregnant so I am resisting the urge to toss my contacts and put in a new pair. That would really bother me if I wasted a new pair of contacts just to find that the right eye sucks with a new pair as well.
On a nicer note Teddydigital and I have gotten most of what we need to do done for the baby. We went and got all the supplies we will need and we put together our stroller and the co-sleeper and washed everything that needs to be washed. I am feeling ready for the most part. I just want to deep clean the shit out of my house and then I think we are set.

I saw my brother yesterday. I don't write about him a lot because he is sort of touchy and might not like it if I told the whole world stories about him but he gave me permission to write about what I saw yesterday. First of all a 2 second background on my brother Tom....he is my younger brother and I have total mind control over him..just kidding OK he is also a retired Marine. And he did 2 tours in Iraq. He is a very intense guy in some ways and in other ways he is really goofy. A paradox if you will....so he is really into exercise and fitness, that seems like it would be normal and healthy. That is unless you are dealing with the people in my family who are real freaks about exercise. My mother is the only one normal about exercise. One year my dad decided to run about a million marathons, and he did, and then he blew out his knee. My Grandma who is 89 years old just got a walker so she could exercise in the halls of her retirement community. Anyway I went over to my parents house for diner and I was walking up the stairs behind my brother and I see blood all over the back of his shorts. Now, just the night before I was watching Law and Order SVU and there was a kid who showed up to school with blood all over the back of his shorts, in the same spot as Tom and it was because he was raped by another kid. So naturally I was concerned that perhaps Tom was raped and so I asked him why his ass was bleeding...was an older kid trying to hurt him? What he told me was even more disturbing. He said he that had a rug burn on his ass from doing crunches on a dog bed in his basement.....he said he did so many that he made his ass bleed!! He was actually really proud of this accomplishment. He informed me that that was getting' some....compulsively doing crunches till your ass bleeds. He then explained to my father why his ass was bleeding and my fathers response was that there is no circumstance where a man's ass should ever bleed. It didn't matter to Tom, he was proud of his bleeding ass and bloody shorts. I find it amazing that Tom thinks my huge belly is gross but will walk around in blood stained shorts with out a second thought.
