backround

1 week down, 3 more to go...

Surprisingly this week has gone by extremely fast. It has been a very chaotic week at work and I'm glad I survived with only receiving 1 zit as proof for living through it. Tomorrow (Friday) should be interesting. After tomorrow, I only have 3 weeks left of work until I leave for baby time! Let’s see...what happened so far this week.....

1) First week of Josie being gone. Complete downward spiral of depression on that one. Upside is she is doing well and now probably holds some super human power. It has been very odd not being able to roll over to her desk, get or send a random IM about life or thoughts I get, now being able to hear her man laugh or evil laugh when Ferry is around, not having someone stir things up with Eric, it's just been weird. I am so glad she was able to be fixed and hopefully it will improve the pain she has been having but I miss her. 'Nough said.

2) Jana left. Double depression. Monday night was one of those "perfect" nights and even though I only got 3 hours of sleep, it was so worth it. I was so glad we got to see her and spend some time like the old days. Ok, so it was 2 months ago but still. I will be counting down the days till December when she returns! Then baby Janzen 2.0 (seriously typed his name first...whoops) can meet her and her him! I am really looking forward to the fact that I will be off work that entire time. Sorry Jeff, but this vacation, she is mine. =)

3) End of month. This means, end of life as we know it. Every month it's the same thing. Last minute this, checking on that, people stalking every policy we are writing. It gets old. Really old. For some reason this month was the worst I have seen in a long while. Yes, we are down a few people. One due to getting a bionic hip and a few for sickness. It still was far worse then it should have been. We can only do what we can do, when our hands our tied, it's not our problem. Also, please don't ignore emails informing you when EOM is or when everything needs to be in by. I know I will show up to work tomorrow with a few "surprises" in my queue to get on the books. Well, sorry, that shipped passed at 3:30 today. If I could have a drink, I would have this week. I needed it. Instead I ate a piece of chocolate chocolate chip cake and watched Grey's. It will have to do till December.

4) Busy factor. I have no idea what is going on. I really don't. I feel like we are never home. Or, only 1 of us is. I was gone Monday, both Tuesday, Michael was gone Wednesday, then again tonight. Tomorrow night we are gone due to having a final date night before #2 makes his appearance. The boys are all staying with Nana and Papa on Friday. We are taking advantage to go out. It's been a while. We have been so insanely busy that we haven't had time for just him and me. Saturday morning, the busyness starts up again. Michael is working on a side job Saturday and Sunday morning. We have plans for most of Saturday afternoon and evening. Yet, I feel like our house is in shambles. It really isn't but there is so much more I need to do. Ugh. Maybe when I am finally done with work it will get done.

5) Storage space is now upgraded. Thanks to a gracious Steven and even more gracious Tina for letting us borrow her hubby for the night, Michael and Steve got everything moved. Michael said he was shocked how much room we have. That I am looking forward too. I would love love love to move some more things over this weekend, but I doubt that will happen. Maybe Sunday afternoon. I have about 4 pieces of furniture that I want over there soon! Free up some more space!

6) Sleep. Lack of or too much. I have no idea. I can say Monday it was lack of. Yet, Wednesday I passed out at 7:30 after Jake went to bed. The wind was a factor this week due to it woke Jake up at least twice each night. Michael never wakes up at night, ever. Just getting up for 2 minutes to put him back to sleep, pee and fall back asleep, really messed me up. Two nights in a row of that did me in. Plus last night our college neighbors across the street came in at 2:45 and would not shut up. Again, waking Jake up. Although, they did wake Michael up too so he put him back to bed. Sadly, I figured I should just pee while I was awake then. I would say instead of going on a date, I would go to bed at 7 tonight, but I need Michael time!

On a final note, it's almost November. Where on earth did October go? Also, where did the Fall weather go? I do not recall 20 degree weather being Fall weather. I expect that in December - February. I need to find my winter coat and scarf. We woke up and our thermostat was at 58 this morning. Yikes. My bad. I still don't have the guts to turn on the heat. I will say this thought. Next weekend the big C is coming to our house. I waited until Halloween was over but tree is probably going up next weekend! Prepare yourselves! =)
