I got news on Friday that my temp job won't be starting until late October-at the earliest. This throws a wrench in the entire operation because I don't know if I can hold day care that long. Plus, I don't really trust that this temp job is going to come through at all so I don't want to pay a 500 dollar day care deposit. If I don't pay the deposit, our spot cannot be held so if the temp job does come through, I will be left without day care. It's a mess... On top of that, there is potential that I may be able to stay home and take care of the baby of a friend instead. I also got another message from the temp agency today about something that they called 'long term' (whatever that means in temp talk is really a mystery) but I need to call them back to get more details. SO... I'm a bit on edge as things get sorted out. I always like to have a plan and not having one right now is really messing with my ability to maintain peace and order in my life! I can't seem to turn my brain off at night as I play around with the different options and wait for news on what will be. At this point, I'm ready to have something work out just so that I know what is going on and I can get some sleep again!
Karen threw me a beautiful book club baby shower on Sunday. I was supposed to have a shower back in May but the baby had other ideas! It felt so nice to know that everybody cared enough to still throw me a shower this late in the game :) The group went together and got me a gift certificate to a SPA!!! I'm so excited. I've been to an actual spa once in my life and I usually don't splurge on things like that so I'm going to hold on to it for awhile until I really need a day off. It was such a nice gift. Weston also got a cute Pooh outfit, a handmade stuffed elephant, and some books for his developing library. I am very, very thankful to have found such a great group of friends up here. I can't believe how lucky I am sometimes to have so many friends that are so giving, honest, and FUN. I'll try to post a few pictures from the shower tomorrow if I get a chance.
Weston, who is normally very relaxed and rarely cries or fusses, was unusually cranky today. I was surprised by the new sounds he was making. I've never heard him sound so discontent! I'm hoping my cheerful baby is back to normal tomorrow and that he's not starting some sort of strange fussy phase.... or teething? . He can't be teething already, can he?
The other day Tom and I decided to have a little typing competition. He has always claimed that he has great typing skills so we did a google search for timed typing tests and found a good site (sorry I can't remember it) and we went head to head all night in various typing matches. I must brag to you all and tell you that I beat him every time but his determination to beat me was certainly admirable. Since we are both somewhat competitive and he wanted to beat me at something, we switched gears to timed math quizzes. He beat me in subtraction, but I kicked his behind in multiplication! It was actually a really fun (and free!) way to spend a Saturday evening at home! I recommend you try it sometime! And if you want to take me on in typing, let me know. I'm always up for a little friendly competition ;)
