For those of you that don't know, this year I am on the committee for the West Jordan Relay. With the relay coming close to an end I do see light at the end of the tunnel. I have 
been more than honored to be a part of the relay and raising money to help fight cancer but it is a very hard calling. I am in charge of Sponsorship which means trying to get business to help sponsors the relay with big donations, which is a hard task in it self. To make things worse I am on the committee by myself. I have definitely had people reach out and try to help me out which I am so grateful for but it is still a very grueling task. During all the calls and letters I've sent out, my team has also been doing little fundraisers to help raise money. We had a very successful yard sale, a fun poker and pool tournament and will be working a hamburger stand. I am very excited about all the money that we are raising but I can't wait for it to be over. I'm going to need a massage and pedicure for sure... not to mention a very long nap!!

I'm going to need a massage and pedicure for sure... not to mention a very long nap!!In the midst of all this I have also accepted a new job. My schedule is now this: Monday teaching dance for 2 hours; Tuesday, Friday and half day Saturday work in Salt Lake; Wednesday and Thursday work in West Jordan. If you're following, yes, that is working 6 days a week!! People ask if I am crazy and if I really do realize that I am pregnant, but it's just what I have to do for the time being. It will definitely give us some extra money, which who doesn't love, plus I don't get maternity leave pay so will need any extra income now so I can take as much time off as I need when little baby comes. I know there are going to be days where I am exhausted but I just have to organize myself and be a planner. Plus I have an amazing husband who helps me out wherever he can.
Now I'm not sure if its just my pregnant hormones but seriously people are getting in my nerves more than ever!! Not only is it people I know but strangers! Here is just a list of s*** I am sick of hearing!!!Question: What do you plan on doing after you have your baby?
Answer: I'll cut down to a few days a week and have my sister watch him while I am work.
Response: Oh... that's great. ( in the tone that really means WHAT!! You're not staying home to raise your own kid?? You're going to let someone else do it???!!!)
My thought: LADY you don't know a thing about me or my situation so don't judge me!!
*Wow! You're getting big. You're going to have a big baby. I only gained 14 pounds my whole pregnancy!
My thought: Wanting to kick their anorexic a**!!
*Trying to pronounce BEAU.
My thought: It's not rocket science its pronounced BO- we're just smart enough not to spell it that way and give the kids a head start to make fun of him.
Not everything has to do with the baby either.
*People who don't come to the dentist for years and then wonder why they need a deep cleaning that costs them $500-$1000.
*I know coming to the dentist is a real phobia for some people, but seriously.... polishing your teeth doesn't hurt!
*Being 20 minutes late for a schedule appointment... YES! It does throw my entire day off schedule.
*Sitting in the room when your boss and patient are speaking Spanish not knowing what they are talking about. For all I know they could be talking about me and I am just smiling and nodding!
*Looking ridiculous in sweats in 75 degree weather but seriously they are the most comfortable things ever
*Road construction!!! If you live anywhere out here you completely understand.
I know this post is a complete b**** fest but everyone needs that once in a while. I need to get it out somehow or I'm afraid I'll blow up on someone who doesn't deserve it. I am so sad that I haven't even posted a baby update. That is coming and even a belly picture.. I promise!! I just need to get through the next week.
I do have to mention the one thing that has saved my sanity is So You Think You Can Dance. I know it sounds ridiculous but it is true. I could watch that for hours everyday. I am living my life vicariously through 
them. I am just like Mary when she said she wished she could have half the talent as those dancers. It;s usually a but early for me to have favorites but I love love love Kayla! She is absolutely the most amazing dancer.
