Re: FFFC/AWF
AW... My baby boy is 10 months old today and we ordered his first birthday party supplies yesterday ::tears::
FFFC... I asked MIL to make LO a quilt out of his receiving blankets. I just wanted something simple and she has turned into something else completely. I. Hate. It. I feel bad about hating it because she has put a LOT of work into it.
Edited... I don't need any more drama right now.
AW part uno: Vegas last weekend was awesome. Gallbladder surgery kicked my butt, so having those three days to look forward to during recovery was awesome. We're already making plans to go back next year.
AW part deux: H actually got his leave approved, so he's been home since Tuesday and leaves Sunday. It's been so great having him back, and I think we finally got the whole "when are we moving to Colorado" thing straightened out. Just have to wait and see if this deployment [the fourth he's been called up for since March, but none have panned out yet] actually works out.
FFFC: AF decided to show up today - with a vengeance. I want to just curl up in a ball and stay home, but today's a super busy day that won't allow for that. At least I have Chips Ahoy cookies...
I started today and it really just puts a damper on my day. Blah!
C will be 1 in a little over a month...I can't believe it!!! It's gone by soooo fast!
I've been thinking about it for a few months now, but just haven't actually started to get things. That will begin this weekend...at least get the invites done so they will be ready to go out.
H's job allows him to work only 11-13 days out of the month (24 hr shifts), so on the days he's off, he watches C. Well he is wanting me to be a SAHM, so he's contemplating picking up a part time job for the days he's not on shift, so we'll have extra cash and not be strapped down without my income. I feel bad though...yes, I absolutely want to stay at home, but I don't want to take away his time with C. There's a lot more that goes into this and that's a whole other story though.
FFFC: It's food day at work...sigh. And to make it worse, the company is buying pizza for lunch so we were told to all bring only dessert items for the food contest. So.Much.Sugar! In the past 2 hours I have had a slice of apple pie, an oreo ball, some chocolate pudding/butterfinger dessert, a slice of heath bar cake, some caramel apple coffee cake, a fruit roll thingy, and a no-bake cookie. Wow, I feel like a complete pig when I type it all out ::takes another bite of chocolate pudding dessert:: I think this will be my "Oh well" day in terms of eating healthy. In fact, I think I'll have a coke at lunch to top it all off
And a FFFC/AW (which isn't dramatic at all and nobody probably even cares.) I'm only taking 6 hours this semester. Last semester I took 14 hours, worked full time, tutored a girl, and did 30 hours of observing in a high school. It was completely exhausting and I feel like I still haven't fully recovered haha. There were only 2 classes that I could take this semester that fit with my work schedule and I was super excited about that. I don't think I would've been able to only take 6 hours by choice.

FFFC: I am going insane with horrible drivers. Seriously. Every morning I have to deal with a slew of slow drivers that figure their brakes should be used as much as their steering wheel. It. Is. Driving. Me. Mad.
Aww: We found out we are leaving Oklahoma in May (as in next year). We were originally scheduled for May 2013 but dh was called to leave earlier so... Oklahoma has been great but I am a little ready to go elsewhere. I am still talking to my department on leaving early and transferring... hopefully I can take if not all, most of my credits with me as I only have 2.5 years remaining for my Ph.D.
I would so go. Enjoy your weekend--it's much deserved! I would have left B.
I'm jealous of your float trip. We had so much fun in July when we went!
