Life

I'm very off right now. We all have our health and we're all happy but nothing is great right now. I'm in a weird place with the whole going back to work thing. I've been looking for jobs and can't find anything over $13 an hour. It's pretty crazy. I can't see myself working for less than that with ten years experience. I went to the grocery store yesterday and spent $250 on pretty much nothing. I don't know how people can pay $13 an hour and everything be so expensive. We're going to Portland in a couple of weeks. I'm very excited for that. We need a vacation badly. I booked an amazing hotel on the coast. I cannot wait for that. They boys are going to love it. I'm a little sad about the trip because it's in the middle of Shayna's graduation. She's worked so hard and I feel absolutely horrible for missing it. She had her prom this weekend. We spent the whole day together Saturday and it was a lot of fun. She's the little girl (well not so little) that I'll never have. Things are just there right now. Nothing is bad and nothing is good. I guess I'm just impatient because I know everything is going to be so awesome in a year from now......

Jason's Birthday

Today is Jason's birthday. We got him a few little things to open and a GPS system for his car. Ulrich and I snuck it in there last night while he was bathing Oliver. Today Ulrich has a half day so when he gets home we're going to go and get some balloons and stuff to decorate the house. Tonight my sister is babysitting and I'm taking him out for Thai food and then we're going to the Improv in Tampa. This weekend we'll celebrate his birthday with the boys and the fam. He does so much for us that I'm trying really hard to make this day special for him. By the way I <3 hummus and veggie chips!

Whatsa Going On

I got a call from the daycare I have Oliver on the waiting list for today and most likely he'll start in a month from now. I'm a lot more at peace with the situation now then I was a few months back. I lovvvvvve this place so that eases my mind a lot. Plus I think he needs more interaction with kids his age. He gets really shy around them. I'm ready to start bringing some money in again too. I can't say the thought doesn't still break my heart a bit though. I am so attached to these boys and have enjoyed these past two years so much. I'm starting to look for a job now. I was hoping to finish my degree before I went back but it looks like it's going to be another year. So hopefully in the meantime I'll get a decent Paralegal position. This next year is going to be a whirlwind..... We're hoping to move next summer. We want to wait until then because we'll be finished with school and Ulrich will be going into middle school. We don't want him jumping from school to school. I did that when I was young and it was pretty rough. The first place we're going to check out is Portland. We're going there in about three weeks. We fell in love with the Pacific Northwest last year so right now it's definitely a frontrunner. I'm digging this blog thing! It's like a diary without the writers cramp!
