A lovely day at the park

Seth and I went to the park in Punta Gorda today and the weather was just lovely! We played on the swings a little and wandered throught the nature trail looking for birds. All we found were fiddler crabs though and some little needlenose fish swimming in the pond. Seth really liked watching the fish swim! Alot of people had taked their boats out into the harbor today so Seth got to see alot of boats out. He really liked that, especially the sail boats. He kept pointing and saying "oat" Very cute. We had alot of fun. David was home today but wasn't feeling well so he stayed home. Oh well...his loss, we had a good time.

David is at band practice now and Seth is bouncing his orange ball in the hallway. "What's that?" I ask. Seth responds, "ball!" then he drops it and says " drop" . Heck, I didn't even know he could say drop! He says so many things that I stopped keeping track, there is just too many to write them all down. What a smart boy.

At least he sleeps well...

Once he falls asleep that is. When I say that seth hates sleep it's only the initial falling asleep part. Once he passes out he sleeps like a rock and for that I am most fortunate. But how do I get him to fall asleep better? Omit naps? Wear him out more ( without wearing me out)? i don't know what to do. Will he outgrow this phase? I know as a kid i never liked going to bed, could it be a hereditary trait?

sex, water and air conditioning.

this week has been really good. I have decided not to take the new job. I have decided to stay in the position that I am currently at with out any changes. I would miss everyone too much. I have made too many friends here. I just can't leave. Besides it's getting better. I also upped my dose of Lexapro so maybe that is what is making it all so tolerable. ???
David and I actually had sex thursday after long last. It wasn't as superb as it could have been. Seth was crying and crying like he does every night. He absolutely hates sleep. Of course, I knew that Seth was okay and safe in his crib but the crying and crying....for no reason! GRRR!!!! Will I ever have sex again?!

Today was a hot one. Seth was splashing in the bird bath so we filled up his kiddie pool for him. He liked it okay, he kept getting in the pool and then out of the pool then in the pool and out. I really just don't think he likes to be in one place for too long. I can't believe the energy this kid has. It's amazing.

The A/C was leaking in the garage. Fortunately we only had it installed 11 months ago so the A/C man came out and fixed it at no charge to us. Lucky us. It would have been a $70 service charge.

This morning we took my mom to the fabric store so she could get materials to make my sister's baby a blanket. Then she took us to lunch. Seth didn't eat very much but he behaved really well. I can't believe how fast he is growing!
Everyday he says something new, I was writing it all down but he is saying so much at such a rapid rate I can't keep up anymore! He's so great.

I love my husband and son. I am a lucky girl.

My boy is very cute...


My boy is strange...


blueberry pie, playground, massage and new job?

My last day of work was supposed to be yesterday. Of course, they asked me to stay a little longer. And I agreed. WTH? I don't have another job yet ,anyway. I have to think about paying the bills. They offered me the restorative nurse position. And I accepted. Whever they have someone to fill my current position I will start. I will be working Monday through Friday, similar hours as to my current hours. They will send be to a different facility in Clearwater for a day of training and I will also get a dollar an hour raise. I will have 3 CNAs working under me. I will be in charge of seating arrangements in the dining room, supervising breakfast and lunch in the dining room, weighing all of the residents on a monthly basis and charting the results. I will also be in charge of bed alarms and B&B retraining monitoring. Actually from what i see the 3 CNAs do most of the work. We'll see if i actually get the job or if they are just stringing me along and I am merely a fool for staying.
I made a bluberry pie for David two days ago and he hasn't even eaten any. Bleh. I can always make another. Making pies are soo easy! Too easy actually. I think that next i will try making something more challenging. Maybe a loaf of bread, last time was pretty fun. Fresh bread is so delicious.

I had scheduled a massage for david yesterday but he couldn't make it. He was too far away to make it in time and besides his stomach is still bothering him. I went in his place. Becky and I just talked for over an hour before the massage even started, David was getting worried about me since i was gone so long. It was a lovely massage, I feel so relaxed today.

On wednesday seth and I went to the park and wandered around. He liked watching the other kids on the playground and walking in the murky water ( with his water shoes on, of course). It was a beautiful day and we had fun. Today I think that we will go to the playground near us and see what fun we can find. It's a beautiful day and I love any excuse to drive my new car! hee hee!

Blue blue blue

Is how i feel today. Not sure why, just am. Maybe because I am leaving my job of 5 years and all of the friends that I have made over the years. Last time I left it was understood to be only a temporary situation. Now it's a permanent situation.
Maybe because Tammy was being cranky and mean to me at work today.
Maybe because lately, David has been cranky every day. ( He's that way every year around his birthday, bleh)Evry day he's talking about how every one hates him and how Walter gets to have all kinds of fun and take vacations and he doesn't get to do anything, wah, wah ,wah!!!!
Maybe because I am leaving my job and do not have a new one yet....And a have a new car payment to deal with. I'm telling you i wish I had someone to make desicions for me because all I ever do is make stupid ones.
I wish David was here to give me a hug. Seth is here but it's just not the same as David's strong arms around me to make me feel like it will all be alright.

I will soon be 29. I feel so old. Did you know that Third Eye Blind's first album came out in 1997? Almost 10 years ago. I played the heck out of that CD when it came out. I feel like it was only yesterday. So much has happened in that time. And yet i feel like it has been so little also.

Whoo hoo! I have a new car!

It's a 2006 Chevy Cobalt. It's a rather periwinkle-ish color with a spoiler. It's very basic as far as extras , but I don't need them ( and can't afford them anyway) Best of all it's a 5 speed manual transmission, how fun!! I love it. And david is very jealous. " You are so lucky to have a 5 speed!", he says. I am leasing it for 241.00 amonth. Had to practically beg for that low of payments though. I am so happy and now i don't have anything to whine about.

Now I need to find a new job.

No car...yet

So far David and I have been to two places looking for cars. The first was a Toyota place. I fell in love with a Corolla, but it was not meant to be. The payments were just too much. The Honda Civic was just as expensive and wasn't as fancy. I would have been plenty happy with it though. It was a lovely shade of red.
Shopping with an18 month old isn't easy. He wants to run, run, run everywhere into everything and everyone. Poor little guy gets so bored. It doesn't help that we have to fill out a ton of paperwork to check our credit and then the salesman has to go back and forth to the "supervisor" several times to discuss prices. ( I'm not stupid, I know that is a game and they don't actually discuss anything with anyone. It's merely a ploy) But i tell them first hand that i do not have time for games!!!! First time a get a price I'm not happy with i am out the door. Both places the salesman followed us to our car still attempting to sell us stuff. Blech. Car salesmen are the scum of the earth.
Tonorrow my sis and I are going to go to another car place. Hopefully this will be the "one". I don't know how much longer I can deal with car shopping!

i only have a little over a week until I am leaving my job. I have many options but I don't know exactly where I want to go work. I have to renew my CPR certification before I do anything. I think I might take a week off before i start a new job.

I hope I have good luck with my silly car shopping. Ick!
