Yes, there were lots of parking spaces by the building the Princess needed to go to but I can't complain because I don't know my way around the campus. I was relieved that the King got us all there in one piece. The drive up there gave me contractions. I was getting a little queasy so I just concentrated on my breathing.
Anyway, after we checked her in, we walked back to the parking lot and took a little scenic route through and between adjacent buildings. Anyway....went to MickeyDees and had breakfast there. Warrior 3 had Fillet-o-fish, Warrior 2 had pancakes with sausage, Warrior 1 and the King had spam, eggs, rice with portuguese sausage. I had sauge mcmuffin with eggs and orange juice.
After breakfast we went back to the same parking structure on Campus and the King paid another $7. Fourteen dollars for parking just a couple of hours. Anyway, the King had set up the Playstation so he and the boys could play games while waiting for the awards ceremony.
By now, I was feeling tired. I just felt drained. I wanted to lie down but couldn't really to that. My stomach was hard and Warrior 4 kept on squirming inside like he couldn't get comfortable in my belly. The King sat behind me and I decided to scoot my chair forward to give him more leg room. I extended my legs on the driver's seat and tried to rest my head and shoulder on edge of the dash board but that was not comfortable either. So, with my big and uncomfortable body...I awkwardly maneuvered myself the the drivers seat. Why didn't I just open my door and walked to the driver's side? I know ya!
OVERHEARD something funny...
KING: Why are you moving from the big seat to the small seat?
ME: To make more room or space. (in my head..I didn't know that the passenger seat was bigger than the driver's seat.)
KING: How do you make more room in the van when the van is a set space? Can't make it any bigger! Nobody told you to move anything.
Me: I know. I took the initiative to move so you can have more LEG room.
Duh, I can't make the space in the van bigger. What was I thinking? Ha Ha.
Anyway...My stomach was still contracting and felt really hard. I was able to recline the driver's seat since Warrior 3 was a lot smaller than the King. I was able to relax a little bit. Man, I tell you being pregnant at a "ripe" age is hard. Yeah, yeah....I keep saying that. I don't mean to sound irritating but it's the truth. According to me, myself and I. When we had to walk back to Kuykendall Hall...I was so slow...out of breath and my hip sockets felt a shot of pain as I walked up the stairs. We had to go to the 4th floor you know. That's not much but being 36 weeks pregnant and unfit...that's a big task. =) Yes, I have empathy to those who are elderly, injured, not as fit or have hip or back problems and anyone who have experienced something similar to this. HEE HEE WHOO! Inhale deeply... exhale fully. Being pregnant at this age is teaching me HUMILITY and RESPECT. I am often reminded of this when I go to Yoga and I can't do a lot of the poses which I used to do prior to being this disproportionate. =)
Anyway, the Princess received gifts from the following sponsors. Pizza Hut, Dole Plantation, Hawaiian Host, American Express and more. The Princess won $75. Isn't that amazing! We are really proud of her. She wrote her essay all by herself. NO help from Mommy or Daddy.
We finally left UH after 12 noon. The King needed to go check some stuff out from different stores. First at Costco...nothing there. Then we went to BestBuy. We were there for about an hour and a half if not longer. The Princess and moih.... just situated ourselves in on to the chairs and stayed there the whole time. I even dosed off. Lucky thing I didn't drool nor snore. Yey! Then around 3 pm, we met Aunty Wanda at the NEX. She bought a play yard and tub for baby. Thank you Aunty Wanda and Uncle Alvin!
Then off to Office Depot, BestBuy again and Waikele.....blah blah blah......getting hungry....went to Zippy's in Waipio...then to Walmart...we were there for less than an hour but I was tired! Everyone was tired. The King stopped at 7-11 to get something to drink and the gooey babes got themselves some slurpees. I just stayed in the car.
Finally made it home...the King was falling asleep. I caught him dosing off lots of times but he wouldn't let me drive...because we were close to home. (still yet...he should have let me drive...because I was all tense the whole time he was driving...He can be very stubborn.)
Still had to prep my lesson for YW. I slept at 1 am and woke up at 8am this morning. We were late for church. Need to repent.
We just had grilled cheese for lunch. The Goo babes cleaned up and I made them read books. Ahhhhhhh, peace and serenity. I will sign off here.
King came home for a moment to eat lunch and had to go back at 2pm to attend the single adults' ward...right after that at 4pm choir practice unitl 5 and then 7 pm Single Adults Musical Fireside. Long day for the King.
What a day for him.
