Hi Liz. :o)
So this is going to be a boring post, because it's late and I'm tired and I still have a few things to take care of before I can go to bed. But I wanted to do a quick summary of what's been going on with me:
The Bad:
- My trip to Houston sucked. It was nice to see Keith, but he was basically working the whole time, and the worst part was that Avery was HORRIBLE all week. Whining and not listening and refusing to eat and not sleeping. I don't know what the hell his problem is, but if this is what the terrible twos are like, I'm selling him on eBay. (I should admit that he's been lovely since we got home today, so maybe he just didn't like Houston?)
- I'm still insanely busy with no relief in sight. And at the rate I'm going, I'll finished my bachelor's degree in 2020.
- Keith's probably getting laid off next Saturday. It's not a huge problem, because we've been expecting it and we're sort of financially prepared for it, and he'll probably be able to find another job soon. The icky part is that we're losing our health insurance, so we either have to keep up with really expensive COBRA payments, or purchase private insurance, which is usually pretty expensive for not-so-great coverage. But we'll figure it out.
- I got peed on by a baby pig today. Don't ask.
The Good:
- I got to see my husband this week! We've both been feeling pretty distant from one another lately, and we've decided to take a vacation together soon to reconnect. I'm excited.
- Tons of picture appointments! If this side business keeps going the way it is, I may not even have to start teaching (assuming I ever finish school anyway).
- My mom broke into my house while I was in Houston and cleaned the entire house. Not that it was all that dirty, but she like scrubbed the floors and washed my sheets and folded my laundry and organized my pantry and all the stuff like that that I mean to get around to but never find the time to do. I realize that that would drive some people insane, but I almost cried from gratitude when I walked in the door this afternoon.
- I think I've found someone to watch Avery for me a few days a week (for cheap!), so that should help with my time-management issues.
- I've had an unprecedented string of good hair days.
The Random:
- Avery's 2nd birthday is next Sunday. I couldn't post this under good or bad, since it's obviously good that he's healthy and happy and growing, but at the same time, I'm not ready for my baby to be two. I cried at his party last year, and I expect the same this year. Sappy mom, I know.
- My dog has decided to start freaking out every time I get out of his sight. Kind of annoying, but it also kind of makes me feel good that he likes me.
- I joined the Disney Movie Club to get Avery some new movies, and I've been more excited to watch all of them than he has.
- I think I'm starting to like sushi. I've never been a fan, but I've been craving it lately (no, I'm not pregnant) and really like the Japanese restaurant in Lake Charles.
- I finally feel at peace about not having another baby anytime soon.
Okay, I'll write something more interesting soon!
