football and hunting

Jared's been hunting or fishing at least once every week this month. I guess he figured he better fit this in before the baby comes [13 days now], since there won't be much time for it after. But it's all good! And I've been following football lately- not that I'm a huge fan, since most of the NFL games are Sunday, and I don't have time to watch football [or anything else] that day! But I keep track of who wins, and watch the college football games when I can. Have to watch BYU, because I graduated from there. But I also follow the U of U, and Notre Dame, just because.

Got a good amount of scrapping done last Saturday, and lots more visiting. I love going to crops! I'm torn, though: I can't sit for too long while I'm pregnant, but once the baby's here, I won't be able to sit because I'll be caring for him!

Oh, and the kids struck again. H was climbing on the entertainment center [no this is not an approved activity], and knocked the TV onto the floor. Gee, it broke. And while I'd love to go without a TV forever, I have a hard time holding onto my sanity without it. Sad, yes. I wasn't in a huge hurry to replace it; I wanted the kids to notice it was gone. But we now have a TV again, and I'm getting a bit of breathing time *big sigh*.

And the political candidates are beginning to show up- we had one drop a flyer off at our house today. I always feel obligated to *know* who I'm voting for and what they believe in. But it's a bit of work to find any information about who's running, etc. I had to download a 997-page document from the State of Utah just to figure out which district(s) I get to vote in. There's one district for the US Senate, another for US House, a third for Utah Senate, one for Utah House, the school district, the district representative for the State board of education, and it goes on. The newspapers list all the candidates who are currently running for a seat anywhere in the state, but they don't tell you which districts represent you either. Argh! And then there's some candidates who don't bother to put anything up on a website, which means I don't know what they believe in and how they would vote if elected. It is HARD work to be a responsible citizen LOL.

I'm still working on scrapbooking. I cannot sit on my chair for more than about 30 minutes, so I'll get up and walk around, or sit on the couch and read for a break. It's actually helped me design better pages. I guess all those breaks recharge my brain ;).
