Wow! There is so much coming in the next 2 - 3 weeks I am starting to feel a little stressed out. I have list after list after list that I have created and left here and there and everywhere so I don't forget. I will try to break this down and maybe thoughts will stop floating through my head when I should be sleeping at night!
Katelynn
Katelynn was one lucky little girl last week. One night she received a call from Makayla and was asked to be the flower girl in her and Josh's wedding! I don't really know at first if she knew what that was or that it was a big deal, but I think after she saw my excitement she knew it was something pretty big and pretty special. I am so excited for her. The wedding date is set for August 28th, 2010 - so off to MN we go! The very next night I received a call around 8:30 / 9:00pm at night and it happened to be the preschool that Katelynn has been on a wait list with for awhile now. Well, it seems they ended up kicking out a kiddo in the 3 year old class because he needed too much one on one time and there are only two teachers. Yeah, for us because Katelynn got to start the following week and she couldn't have been more excited to go shopping.
Junior
Junior has started taking his first steps. He is now motoring ever so slowly around the house. He is still crawling and has gotten fast now that he is up on all fours and not army crawling, but is really trying to do whichever pleases him at the time. We are transitioning him to sippy cups which now he is doing fairly well at except for in the morning and at bedtime (which happen to be daddy times?! hmmm...). We have taken him completely off of formula and he is doing well with milk. We are anxiously awaiting his first birthday - wow, January is going by fast.
The List of Things to Come and Plan for:
(So here is where I was last week on my list)
1. Buy a Backpack for Katelynn for preschool.
2. Fill out paperwork with signatures and Doctor signatures before Tuesday.
3. 4th Quarter Taxes are due at the end of the month.
4. W-2's need to be done by the end of the month.
5. 2009 Taxes need to be done for the accountant to pick up.
6. Accountant appointment set for Monday.
7. Junior's Birthday list and invites
8. In-Laws are coming for about a week to celebrate Junior's birthday and Grandma's birthday (they are on the same day). Need to make plans.
9. Need decorations for Junior's party - do I buy two cakes ? One for the b-day w/ Grandma and one for the party?
10. My mom comes 2 days after Dan's parents leave.
11. Super Bowl Party - (obviously this can now be taken off the list, still licking wounds here)
12. ViVa Las Vegas - Dan and I are leaving for Vegas on Feb. 8th for a few days without the kids.
13. HOA meetings - Annual Meeting is coming up; still fighting the town on Manufactured homes; meeting with the Town Administrator; and our January meeting
14. I need to get my hair done ?!
15. Junior's 1 year check-up
16. Katelynn's 6 month dentist cleaning
17. New JOB !?
I will stop there; the stress is starting to come back I think. So appointments for this and that and the other thing. I get this new job and I feel like I have been asking for time here and time there and a week for a vacation. Good thing my boss has the same age kids as I do and I think he gets it. So my additional stress is I need to get in and get my hair done, especially before the birthday party and before our trip. I finally broke down this week and am taking a long lunch and with either use another hour of leave or just work an extra hour because I have no weekend time to get it done with company coming.
We have all of these things going on and what happens this week: Dan gets sick and then I get sick. We both have horrible cold sores on our mouths - don't we make the beautiful sick couple together and are exhausted. We continue to plug along.
We could also use a couple of extra prayers for my grandma who is in the hospital and having some ups and downs this week.
