I feel like I should post, but I am not sure what to write about at this point. I am getting so tired and frustrated with things but at the same time things are going well. Warren still isn’t sleeping through the night. He is starting to consistently get up at 12:30 or so to eat, and again around 5:30. I can see a big white spot on his gums where his tooth is pushing through. I will be so happy when it is through and not hurting anymore. Laura has been weird lately. Everything has been Mommy. She even fights having Robert put her to bed, which is their thing they do together every night. She has also started whining a lot more. It is getting to me.
On the plus side of things, I feel like we are getting ahead financially. We have our credit card paid off. Now it is budgeting each month to pay it in full and what we don’t use to pay on the credit card will go into savings. I am liking that we are finally working on saving money. It always made me nervous having money tight. I feel like with our money situation the way it is, the need for me to be working is a lot less. I will still take the Textbook Services position if it is offered to me in October, but it won’t be because we NEED the money. It’ll be to get me out of the house for a little bit each week.
Saturday was a blast with Mandy and Jess. We started around 10am. We went to The Cheesecake Factory for lunch. Wow, it was good. My meal ended up being 3 meals for me. The cheesecake was delicous! After lunch we hit the Mall of America. We had a few stores that we really wanted to go to (which we did) but otherwise it was just wandering. We also went to a teacher store that day. I bought a calendar to use with Laura. It has clings for the days and some events. I am hoping to work on days of the week with her. She can also see some events that are coming up.
Sunday we went to church. It was my first time all month. I didn’t make it to Bible study though. I really needed to sleep in, which Robert let me do. In the afternoon, I tried to nap, but couldn’t seem to get comfortable. Just as I was starting to dose off, Warren woke up. I got up and fed him and put him back down. By that time I was totally awake so I never did nap.
Today was a pretty quiet day. I was able to get the dishes done and laundry started. Tomorrow we head to DeForest. I am not sure what time I’ll be leaving. I feel like there is so much I should be doing around here instead of going down there. I will be coming back on Thursday. Friday is my date. Saturday is pictures with Michelle. Sunday is load-in for Dance Theatre. Then the real craziness starts with being in the box office from 10-2 every day. I bought a few new things for Laura to play with, so I’m hoping that will help pass the time. We’ll see how it all goes.
Well, I am going to head to bed. I have a bit of a headache. Warren will be up in a few hours, and I want to get some sleep before that happens.
