HHHHHEEEEELLLLLPPPPPP!!!!!!

Yesterday was as "Anne Shirley of Anne of Green Gables" would say, a "Jonah Day". I woke up late . . . I was feeling sick and wanted to lie down for just 1/2 an hour to make it go away and ended up being half the day. So feeling stupid and beating myself up about it, because as you probably know I AM 32 1/2 weeks pregnant, huge as a whale and for some reason tired ALLLLL the time, I continued to berate myself. I had a million and one things to do, the top of the list being the dishes and I had a STUPID doctors appointment to drink nasty stuff to tell me if my sugar is okay and on top of that knowing that nasty stuff was going to make me feel sick AGAIN. What a waste of a day! Sick, Sick, Sick. I did get part of the living room cleaned and was down stairs doing some laundry. I had already gotten Abby ready to go and was just putting the load over so it could be working while I was gone. I ran upstairs and had to leave RIGHT then and I would be just in time for my appointment that I soooooo was NOT looking forward to and what do I smell as I come around the corner of my room, looking for my daughter . . . permanent marker! I have been throwing permanent markers away for the last month because she finds them and at first I was keeping them on the fridge but she kept finding more and thinking it may have been me haphazardly leaving them down I started throwing them away and yet she STILL manages to find them. I think she's able to produce them somewhere. I'm convinced she has a little horde. Well, this was the worst permanent marker experience yet. It TOTALLY covered her legs and arms. That is not an exaggeration. I should have taken a picture but I didn't want to encourage this type of behavior and I was a little ticked that she would do that. The arms and the legs being covered 2 seconds before I need to head out for a doctor's appointment I can handle. It will wear off. But the sight that met my eyes made me cringe. All around her in a circular fashion was the biggest set of circles ON THE CARPET. RED permanent marker on TAN carpet. Oh yes, it shows up VERY well and I don't know what to do to get it out! Does ANYONE have any suggestions? e-mail me at joshsrib@aol.com. I have to get this out of the carpet. We rent this house and I can't afford to replace it and it's huge. I'm talking about 1 to 1 1/2 feet in diameter circled SEVERAL times that is in the middle of the room so you can't technically cover it up with a piece of furniture. Go ahead laugh if you want, it's not YOUR kid. One day I might also laugh, but I seriously doubt it!

On a side note, I did get sick from that not-so-nasty-tasting drink, Praise the Lord. It tasted a LOT better than last time. I was feeling bad and had not voted yet, but I went anyways and had a slight thrill when I marked my little paper for John McCain, hoping that my one vote would swing Michigan for him but unfortunately it didn't. Thank the Lord He's still on the throne and that Obamanation is just a man. And doesn't it say somewhere that God holds the hearts of kings, I'm sure that means presidents too. It was incredibly sad to see such a liberal minded socialist take the presidency but God knows what He's doing and He DID allow this to happen, despite was Obamanation thinks.
