Today is Mike and my Anniversary. We have been married for 5 years. I got him an engraved lighter that says “LOVE CONQUERS ALL” with my name under it. Basically, we have been through so much but we keep hanging on because we do love each other. My hope is that some day (probably when his kids are grown) we will be able to live a life without interference from his crazy ex. She is the main reason for the stress on our marriage. Anyways, I was woken this morning with a kiss from him. Tayler reminded him it was our anniversary but I am thinking he is probably not going to get me anything. He always has at least bought a card in the past for this occasion but I don’t know this year. We will see. We were thinking about going out tonight after Johnny goes to bed (leaving Tayler) but I am just not sure I want to spend the money that we don’t really have. I am not sure what we are going to do. I really could use some time out with my husband… the last time was when Johnny was an infant and we saw Borat!!! I have so many other things I need to do and it is expensive to go out to eat and to a movie. This leads me to a better (IMO) use for the money…
So, what else is going on? Ahhh, yes. Johnny HATES my van. It wasn’t a big deal at first but now he doesn’t want to ride in the van. I partially blame Mike for being such a pushover with Johnny and giving him what he wants. This screaming and crying hasn’t happened when it is just Johnny and I going somewhere and is just when we go out as a family in the van. So, we have decided to check into getting a portable dvd player. I seriously can’t handle Johnny crying when I am trying to drive. It makes me want to drive off the road. I am checking Craigslist to see what I can find because we can’t afford anything new. Hopefully, we find something.
I am wanting to get more (unbiased) political information. I want to become more informed. My dad is extremely smart when it comes to politics so I am going to ask him. My problem is that everything seems biased in one direction and I want to get “just the facts”. I am already a political nutcase though so this may not be a good idea. ha!
I am going to go to the fabric store this weekend and try to find some inexpensive fabric and make myself a nursing cover. I looked around online and to even buy one used is more than I care to spend. I can likely make one for less than $10. I am going to use Sleekmama’s pattern. I also need to make Johnny’s halloween costume, some pants for him for this fall/winter including pajama pants, some blankets for Joley, and some wool pants for Johnny. I have a ton to do and not an ounce of energy to do it. I really think if someone would cut all my pattern pieces out, I would be good. I HATE cutting!
I have an easier daycare day, so I am hoping today is a tad less stressful. I have an appt this afternoon that I might have to take Johnny to… without his having a nap. Hopefully Mike can make it home on time. My OB appt is scheduled for Monday but I think I will be putting that off until later in the week until Mike can be home earlier. He is making up his route at the beginning of the week so that he can be there for my ultrasound on Thursday. I also need to find time to take my Glucose Challenge Test. I dread that. Maybe I will do it tomorrow. ugh
Alrighty then… I hope you all have a great weekend!
