It has been business as usual up in our house. We ventured up to Delaware over the Memorial Day weekend and enjoyed a great stay at the Hotel De’Winn with some of the Winn clan. It was a great trip and the highlight was definitely spending copious amounts of time with my sister Kristi who was coming out of surgery and coked up on drugs. She was very loopy and sleepy for a couple of days and Kenzie and I had fun talking to her.
Other than that trip, our life has been very normal. Day in and day out we just do our thing. The most interesting thing in my life is a theory that I have been working on. It is about my wife. It is based on reasonable evidence that has been weighed scientifically and I have concluded that my theory is the only thing that can explain it. It is: Pregnancy has driven my wife to quit her job and sleep all day.
Here is the preponderance of evidence against her. When I wake up I usually shower and dress quietly because Kenzie doesn’t have to be at “work” until 9. So I get all ready and then bend down and kiss Kenzie on the cheek to tell her goodbye. And there she sleeps, all sprawled out and looking very comfortable sleeping in while I go to work. I slave away all day trying to make ends meet and finally return home around 5 every day. I get home at 5:20 or 5:25 and there is Kenzie, in the same spot I left her. She is usually just snoozing away and when I come in she half-wakes up and asks me how my day was.
Now she will tell you that she usually gets home from this imaginary “work” place at 3:30 and just naps a bit because she is “tired” from being “pregnant”, but I know the truth. I know that she just sleeps all day, maybe waking up at 11:00 to watch As The World Turns or All My Children, then returning to bed until I get home. The only hole in my theory is that the company that hires her keeps paying her – but maybe she has them fooled too. So now I am putting my theory out there on the web and it will be forever immortalized and the conspiracy theorists can affirm my suspicion.

Even if she is sleeping all day... she's just trying to get ahead when there will be NO sleep with a newborn! :) Haha... nice conspiracy theory.
You know, as a former roommate of McKenzie's, I am starting to think you are on to something...I think she did the same thing with this supposed "school". Have you every actually seen her degree? Of course, if she's worked over her job, she could have easily worked her magic at BYU, where they will believe any lie you tell. Believe me- I graduated.
shout out appreciated.
That's funny because my boss' wife just had a baby and it seemed like even though he wasn't carrying the baby, he had the same type of work schedule. Hmm...
On another note, we need to come visit. It's been rough, but Tim finally got a job, so now I think he's up for visiting!
hooray for visits to Delaware! We love it when Kenzie wakes up long enough to visit!
I agree with "leila" aka "kit kat". And I also agree with Coralie; you will get no sleep when the baby is born so get all you can while you can.
Kenzie is getting payed to sleep - what a sweet deal - I wish I could master that skill. We miss you guys - we'll see you at the baby shower on Saturday!
Sounds like you are growing that baby good! Wouldn't it be great if we really could stay in bed all day and get paid for it?!?
