Summer 2005

I found a whole bunch of pictures on Gayla's computer of when the puppies were really puppies, and when Martin's mom and brother were here 2 summers ago so I'm posting.

These are just a few of the things we did with Monika and Kevin.

not ready

I watched my cousin Keri's 3 month old baby today. He's a cute baby, but I'm exausted. Maybe all babies are like this, but he wasn't happy doing anything for more than 20 minutes at a time. He didn't want to eat, he didn't want to play with toys, he didn't want me to be sitting. He was only content watching tv with his fuzzy blanket up next to his face. He's a very fussy baby. The longest he slept all day was 40 minutes, and that was with me rocking him. He did laugh at me a little bit which was fun. He perfers boys, he was giggling like crazy for Martin and Seth. They were cute with him. Everything considered, I stick by my way of thinking that yeah babies are cute, but I'm very happy with my freedom for the time being.

and nothing else matters

Martin and I have been married exactly two years. It's pretty crazy to think about it. I doesn't feel like it's been that long, but at the same time it feels like we have been married forever. I love being married to Martin. It's definately harder than I thought it would be and even more rewarding and wonderful.

To celebrate tonight, (Martin works until 11) I'm going to make us a nice chinese dinner, complete with an oreo dessert and candles. I'm actually quite excited and can hardly wait for him to get home so I can surprise him.

surprise surprise

Who would have thought that kissing someone when they were sick would pass on the germs to you? Yep...I'm sick with the same thing Martin had. No fun! To make it worse I've been home alone today, and Martin might be working a double shift. No one to take care of me. Poor me. Ok I'm done with my pity party. Hopefully it won't last long.

Update

So I've been unemployed for almost 2 weeks now. It's actually been really boring most of the time. I'm alone from 2:00pm until 10:30pm while Martin and Seth are at work, except on Monday and Thursday when I have Samantha. I did buy a few school supplies which was exciting for me. Still waiting on the car which is frustrating. Anyway, nothing too exciting. Martin has been really sick for the last couple days. Flu symptoms. I've been taking really good care of him and pampering him.

Unemployment

Sorry that it has been a while since posting. I've been pretty down on myself lately and didn't think anyone cared about me or my blogs, so thank you my "English fan club" for support. So, I did it. I actually quit my job. I never thought I would do it. We had a team meeting today, and my supervisor told us that she was moving to a different project, and gave us a big speech about how she felt bad for leaving, but needed to go to the other project to learn what she needed to so she could advance her career or something on those lines. Her last day was going to be on Tuesday. Some of what she said I could see in my own life. This was the right time, and it was important to move on to 'gain knowledge.' It sounds pretty cheesy when I write it down, but it was now or never. So I went and talked to her and explained the situation. She was understanding and said that today could be my last day, and I didn't need to wait the customary three days. Looking back on the day I'm very much in shock. I can't believe I did it. Now I am very scared for everything to come, and I have my doubts. Can we make it financially, will I actually finish this time, and enjoy it when I do. I've got a lot of support here and over seas, so I know I can do it. I'm just scared. Tuesday morning I'm going to register for school, and hopefully start in a week or so. We're having car issues and need to get it fixed before I start school, but in the mean time while I'm sitting on my butt at home(YAY), I'm going to go over all the stuff I learned as a refresher course so I'm ready to start again..anyway I'm rambling...more to come
