Just a quick vent

Last night was nothing like the night before. Life is sucking for Josh and I this morning.

Just a quick brag

So last night, Ty slept ALL night in his big boy bed. He went to sleep at 10, woke up at 11:30 and quickly went back to sleep, woke up at 3 and did not so quickly go back to sleep, and woke for the morning at 7:30.

Perhaps even more amazing - no nursing. It has been 24 hours! My baby is a big boy. :(

Let's Talk About Irritating Things.

The first thing that we can talk about is washing machine repair people. Our wonderful Maytag Front Loader has had some issues for quite sometime now. The bleach and fabric softener dispenser doesn't dispense. Also, the clothes that are washed in said washer may or may not smell like butt depending on the washers mood. The smart thing to do is call the repair man right (We have a service contract)? So we did that - in June. It is now the end of August and our washer still sucks. The repair man has been out 4 times so far and each time he tells us that the problem is fixed. Not so much is it fixed.

If that were all, that would be mildly irritating. However, I would like to address the 4-hour blocks of life the repair people steal from you for each service call. For instance, if I get an 8-12 time block, I assume that service people will be here at some point in that time range. This means that Ty and I do not do our fun morning activities because we are stuck at the house. When the repairman shows up at 12:45, that really irks me. So, the next time we schedule for 1-5. At 6:15, the repairman shows. Grrr. Today, we went the 8-12 route so we wouldn't have to invite the repairman for dinner. I got a call at 11:53 informing me that the repairman was sick and would not be out today. He will now grace our presence on Friday somewhere between 8 and 12. Right.

And today

I quit my job. Very sad, I say. I went in this morning and I did my exit checklist, cleared my desk, went to lunch, and got debriefed. Then, I sat in Josh's car and bawled. I know that I am stupid and should be thrilled to be staying at home, but I can't help but feel like my education is being thrown out the window. Not to mention that I am still paying on said over-priced education.

On a brighter note, I am no longer on bedrest. There is still a bleed in the baby's house, but as long as there are no outward signs, I just have to limit my activity. Yea! We also got ANOTHER ultrasound because they couldn't find the baby's heartbeat. He/she is fine and is even measuring a little big at this stage of the game.

Ty is doing well. He now walks around the house quacking like a duck when he has his duck towel. It is cuter than you can believe. He just makes me happy.

That is all for now. I'll see ya' later.
