Another week gone by

It's Sunday evening, the week is almost officially over and a new week begins.  It will be an exciting week, I get to finally meet my IPs (the couple I am trying to have a baby for) at the end of the week.  Tomorrow morning I have an early morning appointment at the IVF clinic.  Then off to the grocery store and home for what I hope will be a quiet rest of the week.  :)))  Oh I need to email over my resume/application for the job on North Island as well.  Who knows where that will lead me.

Today we had another really nice day.  Jamie and I finished Zac's Christmas shopping (ok well Jamie did) and got some of Summer's done.  I'll finish hers up later in the week/month.  :)  Then it's getting the extended family members small gifts and I'll be DONE DONE DONE.  Yay!!!!  Then Jamie took Summer and I out to ramen followed by stopping in at one of his favorite Korean markets.  Wow now that was a MADHOUSE in there!  But I will admit he is right, the produce there is unbelievable in pricing.  10 heads of romaine lettuce for $1!!!  Holy mackerel!!!  Afterwards I ran over to AutoZone to get the parts we needed for the car headlight, license plate lamps, and the air filter.  Jamie and I will do the repairs tomorrow after work.  :)  Then home again to start up laundry, clean up my disaster of a kitchen, make dinner and put away our yummy produce.  :)

It's nice having a clean kitchen again, makes for an easier week to start off with.  I do need to mop though, but will do that in the morning before Scoots gets here.  We sat around this evening as a family and watched our favorite television show "Once Upon a Time".  I have to say it's a pretty good show for the family, what a difference from usual.  Nice wholesome family show and amazingly one we are ALL interested in.  Now that in-of-itself is amazing!!!!!!  We can never agree on ANYTHING!!!!!  Jamie likes it because it reminds him of Skyrim, Zac likes it because it always has action in it, and Summer and I like it for the fairy tales/love story!!!  :))))  What a wonderful evening to end a tough week!

Let's hope next week is much better.  It has to be, I get to meet my IPs finally!!!!  :)))))

A rambling week

So it's been quite the week around here!  It started off pretty normal, just seemed to go slow for me.  I think I enjoyed the long weekend a little too much.  Thursday ended up being a tough day for me - I found out I'll be losing the baby I watch during the week in January.  I've had her since she was 6 weeks old and love her to pieces.  Of course my love will not die for her, she'll always hold a special place in my heart as every child I've ever watched has/will.  It came 8 months earlier than I had actually mentally prepared myself for so along with my crazy hormones right now I took it pretty hard, but I'm getting over it and just going to enjoy what time I do have left for her.  There's always a reason for things happening in life, I think the reason for this one is so I can really prepare and focus on the surrogacy.  At least I hope that is the reason.  Time will tell.  :)

Friday evening Summer spent the night at a friends so it was just Jamie, Zac, and I.  We had a lovely quiet evening.  Zac played video games most the night while Jamie looked over the kids Christmas lists and I gave pedicures.  Hahaha.  No it was quiet a lovely evening as I said.

This morning Jamie and I got up early to run some holiday errands.  Then Jamie dropped me off and went to get the oil changed.  I hate finding out I've been over charged for oil changes, after being told I needed to pay for synthetic oil!  Urgh...well now I know!!!  Jamie however got equally frusterated with Mossy Toyota today as they started to quote him all that needed to be done to the car.  Most of it we can do ourselves so Jamie will be doing some home maintence tomorrow.  He got some more holiday shopping done while he was out, while I stayed home waiting for the Time Warner Cable guy to come over and fix our wireless signal.  Yay, it's fixed so I have internet access in the bedroom again!  :)))

Tomorrow is another errand day - grocery shopping.  I actually like grocery shopping, I just dislike menu planning.  :))  I also need to catch up on my laundry tomorrow so everyone has clean clothes for the week.  :)))
