Today was a good day. Husband was very amiable this a.m. He was excited because he was recognized by his superiors at work as selling above, and beyond his co-workers, which I think has always been the case, but I think they just realized it now. Anyway they are giving him the best hours, which I guess is all of them. So what little time we had together is being sucked away. So now the only time we have is Friday mornings, which Abel takes Antonio to preschool, then goes to church, then probably gets some groceries to have for the weekend. So really no time at all. When he was telling me all of this I was smiling because I was really happy for him, but I did also want to cry. But he said when we have returned from our vacation he might cut back a little bit. And who knows maybe I will have different hours too.
The kids were good today and helped me to clean up. Bella was super clingy, she just isn't happy unless I'm holding her or feeding her it seems like. It's really cute how her brothers adore her, and hug her. She loves to comfort them when they are upset, and crying. I think they really love that. They try to get her a toy or something when she is crying.
Antonio was only $10 short of his target to pay for the toy he has been eyeing for a long time, over a year. And I got a coupon in the mail for $10 a $75 purchase. So I told him this and he was so excited to go to Target that second. So I piled them all in the car at dinner time, and took them to see Abel, and then go to Target, but they had rearranged a lot, and it seemed like they had less LEGO merchandise, no space police at all. He thought he could buy something else, and I reminded him of how much he wanted the "Galactic Enforcer" So I told him we could buy it one the computer. When we did get on Amazon it was the right price, but the other one he wanted was a limited edition ( and I was afraid the price would go up) so I sort of talked him into buying it first. I did make sure that was the one he wanted, but after I made the final click he said "now it's going to be forever before I get the Galactic enforcer" oops your right buddy, it took him his whole life thus far to save $100 or $90 I guess. Even with a $5 a week allowance for doing chores, and reading...hmmm well your birthday will be here in ....about 100 years in 5 year old time. Sorry bud.
My meeting with Lorri went well yesterday. I really like her, and I feel like she listens to me, but I can shake the feeling like she is looking at me like a kid with no experience. Like "Isn't she so cute she thinks I can just give everyone candy and they will be happy, I remember when I used to have dreams and ideals and things." Her attitude (which is really just more my insecurity) is justified. We'll see how things pan out in the next few weeks.
I really need to start loosing some weight. I want to be able to fit into my bathing suit, and a dress for Bella's baptism. We'll see. I need a plan or something. I am planless.
