The Romanos

Sometimes I think God has moments where He likes to look down and laugh at us and moments He knew were coming. Case in point- my Monday. I woke up and got ready dreading working due to horrible rainy thunderstorms we were having and it was projected to rain the entire day. Mike and I searched the house and only found 1 umbrella....I do not know how I came upon this umbrella, but it was made for a child. Seriously the diameter stretches from one shoulder to another! I am sure I looked pretty ridiculous heading into my accounts! The only thing it is good for is keeping my hair wet, and well the rain was coming from all sorts of directions with wind so instead of looking like a drowned rat...I settled for misty frizzed hair. fabulous. Along with the lack of an actually working umbrella, I had the day off. Yes people I woke up and went to work on MLK! Thanks to my lovely co-worker Lauren, I would have worked the entire day if she hadn't texted me wondering why I was up so early on a day off! Thanks Laur! So as God chuckled upstairs I headed to the salon to get my nails done!

On another note I got the fetal heart monitor in the mail today. After a couple trys and with my mom's help I was able to make it work. Her heartbeat is lovely music that I could listen to all day long!

And on another note we have been preparing the house for the baby and first up was getting the grout clean in the front portion of the house and replacing the carpet in the baby's room, guest room and Mike's office. Grout was done and cheap- floors look uber clean ;) Carpet...well that was an experience. My mom came over in the morning while I went to work for the installation. When I came home for lunch I was surprised when I saw the carpet in Mike's office. We signed up to get regular looking carpet (these are rooms that are rarely used and we went the cheap route)..and to my amazement I had really nice berber carpet! I was shocked and gave my mom an eye- you know the "OMG this is not the right carpet..." eye. I quietly mouthed "this is nicer carpet than I ordered". I brought her in another room and explained the issue- I didn't want to say anything yet because if I could manage to score berber carpet for a cheaper price my lips were sealed.with super glue. The only hang up- the color. We wanted a light cream color. We got a color 8 shades darker. Our couch is a light chocolate and when you put a piece of the berber next to it, it blended. Sad that I knew I would not get to keep this major upgrade I went to Lowes to figure out what to do. Solution- the installers messed it up and installed someone else's carpet in our house and had our carpet at their warehouse. So they are coming back Thursday to rip out and install the right stuff. I am so happy that this is happening so quick. My house is such a mess with my dining room filled to the brim with all our home's decorations....

These are moments where I usually would have popped a bottle of red and poured a glass (or two) of vino. No vino for this preggo...so I am going to drink my special reserve (aka H2O) and watch 20/20. Hope God and you got a laugh...I did.
