Getting better....

The last few weeks have been full of stress. Searching for a double stroller, the porch, and playing single parent. Needless to say yesterday was when things started getting better.

Started with shopping Old Navy online, had 30% off coupon. Got some clothing that I hopes work out. And got free shipping. Then called Leah and arranged to go to the store with her. I had some items to return from the last time. Made a stop at Starbucks, she paid. The store manager treated us great, offered us the 30% as well if we did not have one.

Got the mail and got free Enfamil bottles.

Did have the evil FIL show up.... but he kept out of my way.

Went to BRU and looked at strollers. Made progress. Bought diapers and food and ended up getting an extra $10 in gift cards for free!

Made a determination and made a purchase of the stroller. Not a jogging one like I wanted but it should be good. Should be here some time next week. So out of stroller hell! Just in stroller purgatory til it arrives.

Last night Emma slept thru the night. And tonight will be a trip to Nova. Depending on if the porch inspection results depends on if it will just be wine or food tonight.

Wed. sucked, thursday better...

So wed night got no sleep in to thursday. Emma did not go to bed til 11. Wyatt woke up at 12, 1:30, and 2:30 for he "had a butt". Then Emma woke up at 3:30. Taking a long while to go back down. Followed by Keiths alarm at 4:20, and again at 4:35. Then prior to leaving a Wyatt came in at 6 to give me a hug prior to leaving for the day. Totally woke me up, but he did share/leave teddy for me to sunggle. If you know him that is a big deal. He wanted me to go with, but told him I had to stay home and sleep for he kept up mommy all night. Gave me a hug, said ok, and went with daddy. Emma woke up again at 7:30 and did not go back to bed.

Gave up. Ended up getting a visit from the starbucks fairy. Then Keith's work ended up sending me a very nice flower arrangement in a cute vase. (they would of sent it last week but they were closed) Then the mil visited. Emma kept her eyes shut the whole time. Leah came over. Hit Kohls, got nothing. Picked up the fussy one. Who freaked out that I did not have the Emma with. Had to inform him that she was in the car with a special visitor. Auntie! He was ok with that.

Called Liz many times who was to have been coming over last night. Got her hubby. He was aware of no plans. Not the first time this has happend. Told him about what she had planed and stated that "it figures" and "she never tells me anything". Spoke to him and had a nice conversation and told him if she dsnt bring it up to just say nothing. Never got a call and she never showed. That just pisses me off. You want my time great, but to make plans and not to follow thru with them angers me.

At that point ended up going to Von Hansens and got some steak for the reaming sil and the bil showed up too. Ate steak, went to bed.

Emma and Wyatt were great last night. Now today to see if I get to meet up with Randi prior to her leaving town. I do not think I can go bar hopping with others for her on saturday.

Two good nights...can we hope for more?

Emma was good again last night. Keith fed her again this morning but she decided not to go back to sleep after he left. Diaper. But after another bottle, and a fresh diaper all was well. But a head ache has plaged me most of the morning. It goes away then comes back and feels like a migraine. Caffeine and drugs are not helping.

Collage has started populating my mind again. Sigh... no $, and no time. Plus the programs that I would do would be quite costly. Nursing then a master in physical therapy. Issue is it would take 7 years to finish. Ugh... I will give up as normal. And not bring it up to people. Shit the best grade I got in tech. school was a c-.

It went better than thought..

Ok so my first night on Emma duty did not go well on sunday. She woke up more than ever. So nothing was done on monday during the day excluding ordering stamps. I know such excitement. Then went thru the back and forth of Keith then finaly deciding to work 5 days this week. Not too thrilled on that, but at least he still has a job.

So after him pulling crap on me of not saying when he was coming home. And knowing that I wanted him home to help with the Wy pickup. Nothing. I go pick up Wy. Went better than I thought. He was quite protective of sister. Did not want anyone touching her. He ran to the car. Thank god not in to the road.

On our way home Keith then chooses to tell me what the hell is going on. He missed pick up time with Wy. It made me a bit mad. But made it home before us. Then a great dinner debate for Emma was having fussy time prior to the pick up. Wy was on a "mine" tangent. Being a show off for attention when we were already giving it to him. Ended up going to Target with Wy for he wanted to Go! and GO NOW.

So we got to Target and he was an angel for me. Got a call when at the stoplight that the grandparents were coming over. So ended up getting home. Then Wy started acting like a little shit. Got him in the house and the grandparents showed up. After a juce box sanfu got him to bed.

Emma woke up twice lastnight, normal. Wy woke up sortive too. Keith fed the Emma this morning so I could get some sleep. Now only if it could keep up with a few less wakings on the childrens part.

Hope it goes well.....

Saying that for many reasons... Wyatt is back. He bucked nap time due to a 15 min. nap in the car. So after giving up on that .... we fed sister. He is just fascinated by her at this point. I hope it lasts. Keith and Wy went out side to play, and washed the puppy. Thank god he reaked. Wy thought it was so bad he even found the fabreze and sprayed him down. Thank god it is pet frendly. Now to figure out if is works directly on the animal, lol. Ended up sending Keith and Wy to Culvers. I am just dreading tonight. Emma has not stayed up as much as I would of liked at this point. Also still waiting on that poopy diaper too.... anywho... Oh and tmrw. for Wy is going back to daycare. I am stuck paying something one way or another. So he can keep a routine he his going. Not looking fwd. to dealing with Wy the runner in the road and the infant. I know just have to cope with it. Just happy daycare is on a quiet road. If things do not go well he is getting a backpack with a leash on it. I hate them but with trying to deal with the both of them and a head strong toddler... sigh. Also wondering why the hell I do not want to eat. Just have no apptite. It sucks. For I am usualy a foody. Still getting callories in. Just in bad ways like Starbucks.

I want to do nothing....

I think having a new baby has gotten to me. I just want to do nothing today. And I need to get things done for this is the last full day prior to Wy coming home. Do not get me wrong I look fwd. to him coming home but it will be harder to get things done. So far took a nap and Leah and Rob came over for a bit. Need to run to Menards. Prior to that I think some coffee is in order.

Attempted to go get a facial to be good to my self but that did not happen. Bummer for I have a free one coming to me.

BRU and doctors too!

Yesterday got to BRU with the MIL and they were out of 1/2 the crap I needed again. I got so mad I forgot the other 1/2 of the crap I needed. So later Keith and I ran to another BRU location and picked up the remaining items. Along with dinner from the Byerly's deli.

Today woke up and let Keith sleep in. Took care of Miss Emma and got the family on our way to the east metro. Visited the step-mom at work and got Emma's birth certificate taken care of. Then to the doctors. Needless to say the search for the ped. is still in progress. So today we saw a NP. She was odd.... Emma is back up to 2 oz shy of her birth weight. She dropped down to 9lb as of Monday so this is great! All is well in baby health land as of right now. Then on to Linner (lunch/dinner) at one of our favorite resturants. Made our way to Target then home. Not too bad of a day so far.
