Lots of stuff going on

This is a busy week for me. I have lots on my calendar. I must admit, I'm a bit stressed out about how much is going on, but I'm pretty good about scheduling and time management, so I'll get through it all.
I had my Midwife appointment on Tuesday morning and unfortunately the water birth was not approved. The malpractice company said "no". Stupid malpractice people! This is so common in many other countries, yet we can't have that as an option? I don't know if being in a conservative city is a part of this. My Midwife said that we won't break any rules, but if I happen to be in the tub when it's time to push and I simply cannot get out, then that's what happens. Hrmm, maybe that is just what may happen!

I'm getting ready to host a Bookclub tomorrow night. We are reading "Angry Housewives Eating Bon Bons" by Lorna Landvik. I really enjoyed this book. Not a "chit lit" like I thought it would be.

Tonight we were supposed to carve pumpkins, but David is possibly fighting a cold and isn't feeling up for it. I had this cold last weekend. It's not a *bad* cold, but not fun either. So, perhaps we can "carve" out some time tomorrow or Friday to do so, or we'll just be simple and place plain ole pumpkins out on Friday.

Just watched the 30 minute Obama segment tonight. Yea, I'm pregnant. Every family he focused in on made me cry. I wish I were a many times over multi-millionaire to try to fund programs to help all those people in need. I truly hope Obama is elected and that all these changes he speaks upon can happen. We need to get back to the "Yes, I am my brother's keeper" mentality. I feel like it's moved so far away from that way of thinking. I hear many people speaking from the "at least it's not me" mentality. Just think what our country would be like if we truly wanted the best for our neighbors and thought about the goodness for everyone and not just ourselves.

Anyway...more to do, better run.
