The Good and the Bad
November 1, 2006
The Bad
We have had one of those weeks that really tries and person but it was also one of those weeks that you really get a look at how much people like and respect you. It all started on when my husband called to tell me that his car had died while he was on lunch. He gets it towed to a garage and I drive an hour to pick him up. Abbey had a cheerleading party so she went to the party with a friend. It turns out his car is totally dead. The engine died. So we have been looking for a second car. In the meantime I needed to get back and forth to work and Abbey needed a way to school. The person who watches Emmy while I am working has been picking Abbey up and dropping her daughter and Abbey off at the same time and then taking me on to work. Then picking me up. I walked to the school and got the girls one day then my mother in law loaned me her van on one day. I have no idea how long this will continue but believe me I am getting tired of it.
I am also feeling overwhelmed about the house and keeping things picked up. My husband is no help. For our anniversary he asked what he could do for me to make my life easier I said clean the kitchen floor. So far I am still waiting on that. He has also been doing little things that make me feel bad. Like offering to buy paper plates and spoons when I was busy and hadn't had a chance to wash the dishes. Truly is it just me or is he not capable of doing it too. Maybe I am just being sensitive but I feel like I am drowning in projects that need to be done.
The Good
I had a parent from our church give me 6 trash bags full of clothes her daughters have outgrown. I went through them all and there was so much stuff I gave a bag to Abbey's best friend. Speaking of Abbey she had pink eye this week but I realized what it was early and started treating her with the drops from the last time (yes they were still within the date) and then took her to the Dr. for confirmation and an excuse. He said he really liked my new hair cut which made me feel good. I had to ask my husband what he thought of it and all he said was its ok.
Emmy went to her first day of preschool. She had so much fun and still points to the crafts she made and says I made it by myself. I was so proud of her. I knew that the circle time would be too long for her since she was visiting my four-year old class but she did fine when she got tired she came and helped me prepare snack. I was hoping that she could start full time after Christmas but I got a new student this week so she probably won't get to be in my room and since I think the other three teacher is a bit harsh I guess I will let her wait until next year. The new little girl is great she acts like she has been in our room from the beginning. We had a party on Tuesday and one of my moms was telling the new mom that children never want to leave my room. I have noticed and I don't mind. I love the class I have been given. They are adorable and sweet and really just a great group of children.
The girls dressed up for Halloween and we went trick or treating at the University. They have tables set up with the different sports organizations handing out candy. One of people handing out candy was dressed like Nicole Ritchie and she did such a good job it was down to the while leather purse and blonde bob. I loved it. I guess I was the only person who knew who she was. My husband said since I knew who she was it is proof I watch too much Access Hollywood.
