I could post about my awful week. For example how between my hubby and I we made over 10 trips to the city and filled all three vehicles with gas at least once, OR, how half of those trips were for doctor appointments ranging from acute care, to general practitioner, to oncologist and finally the OBGYN. I could tell you about the 1 and one-half days missed subbing because of strep throat and misdiagnosis for my ds. I could tell you about the kind gentlemen who got out of his car at the stoplight to tell me my car was 'smoking something awful' on my way to the OB. I could tell you about my husband driving the sick kids in to fix my broken down car in the medical building 3 parking lot. I could tell you about me almost missing another half day of work because my car was broken down, but instead I left one sick child with my hubby and took the other sleeping one and tried to teach while making frequent visits to the sick one, passed out from pure exhaustion in the car. I could tell you how excited I am about this weekend because; A) we are leaving for the cities B) I got permission to spend time in the hot tub from the OB C) my daughter may be able to see the American Idol Concert in person and D) I really need a weekend without doctors offices, computers, or my broken dryer. But I won't. Because I haven't eaten yet today and it's 3:18. So, here's my favorite alfredo recipe. I am taking some breadsticks out of the freezer and pigging out tonight. I have a bag of frozen shrimp that I was saving for a rainy day calling my name, no matter how sunny it is...
Alfredo (without the fuss)
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons flour
1 cup milk, half-n-half, or cream (to your liking, Ijust use plain ol' milk)
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
Directions:
Melt the butter in a large saucepan. Stir in flour and heat until bubbly. Slowly stir in cream, Parmesan, and seasoning. Heat over medium high heat, stirring constantly for 5-7 minutes or until thick. Serve over pasta.

Aren't weeks like this so frustrating. Sometimes I feel like I need to just move into the Dr. office. I feel like a car widow too sometimes! Hang in there. Where is your baby update on the edge of your blog? K~
Yeah, whoever coined the phrase stay at home mom was never really one...
That ticker is never working properly ...I will try it again to see if it works.
Dr. says we'll probably induce labor again...maybe on the 8th of October which is my son's birthday, sigh...
