so, here we are again. nothing too exciting to report. Eve has started taking steps to get from here to there. she will let go of the coffee table and take a little step to latch on to the couch. scary. olivia is doing well. she is learning letters and what sounds go with what letters and what words the letters and sounds make. she is so incredibly good with Eve and helping her and playing with her. she is such a good little girl, i have truly been blessed.
jon has been working later hours and golfing a lot with dad. this is making me crazy. I guess because I am home all day by myself and then by myself on the weekends too. i miss our sat. morning breakfasts together and just doing things together on saturdays now that jon has to work. i shouldn’t complain because he is usually home sat. afternoon sometime but,this is a lot of time alone. i don’t think it is just me, i mean everyone would go crazy if they had just a couple of hours of human interaction a day right? i mean, i am just a borderline introvert/extrovert so i am not extremely outgoing but i do need people.
i don’t know what is wrong with me. i just feel like crying all the time. hmmm..is this what it is like to be premenstrual? it is been soooooo long. hormones….i guess we will find out soon enough……
we went to a new church last sunday. we went to the first baptist church. it was o.k. they had an awesome little nursery for olivia. she loved it. eve didn’t so much like the baby nursery and babies aren’t really welcome in their service so i don’t know what we will do about that church. jon wasn’t really thrilled about hugging my ex-boyfriends dad during the service either (there was a part in the sermon where everyone had to hug eveyrone and we just happen to be sitting next to the Webb’s because they were in the back and there were no other open seats in the back where I could get out easily). so we will see what happens with that. they have a lot of activities for Olivia which would be really good for her but i don’t know. every church has it’s pros and cons right?
so, luckily, my mom has only a couple of weeks left of school and maybe i will be able to hang out with her some during the days. it doesn’t help that the kids have been sick lately so that makes for a very tired mama. they haven’t been sleeping and they are tired and very whiney. that makes for a very long day and night and a cranky mama!
the good news is that, our kitchen is nearing completion. i installed the under the cabinet lighting and now we are just cleaning tiles and installing some hanging things and we have touch-ups to do and we will be finished. Well, there is still the island to finish building but we are making progress. at least it is functional now and we can use it! Yeahhhh!!!
i think I am sad about my brother leaving for iraq. i know it is kind of silly, but i am just worried for him and his family. i mean (sorry if you are reading this lexi, i have nothing to complain about!), i just worry that i haven’t had enough time with him and i didn’t work enough on our relationship or visit him enough and what about his kids and his wife and things that could happen and blah blah blah……i have no reason to complain really, i mean, i am not his wife or daughter, holy crap, i can’t imagine what it must be like for them! anyway, i guess i better go, if you feel the urge, please pray or send happy thoughts for my brother and his family as he gets ready to go and in the next 12 months as he is there……
