Back to work

Today was my first day back to work. It was not as bad as it was with Evelyn but I am still working on being happy to be there. It was an interesting day to say the least. There have been lots of changes in the last three months not the least of which is my job title and description. the change in my job has been coming or at least talked about since my hire date so although it is not a surprise it was rather sudden.

It was good to see everyone though trying to get organized was difficult and I still have a ton of e-mails to go through. Monday I hope to get to the swing of things and start looking at my new job and what I will have to do and what I will want to do with the position. one thing is certain I will need to learn access. though I am thinking I will practice at home maybe with my recipies I would love to get them organized it's just a mater of time.

Going back

Tomorrow I go back to work and I'm just not ready. Having Evelyn home yesterday and part of today (J didn't want her home the whole day due to the pending arrival of our new washer and dryer.) made me think that maybe I could stay home and be a good mommy. Though I'm not sure I would ever manage the good house wife part. Still I am getting better at cleaning as I go and have made progress.

At any rate mom and dad take care of William tomorrow and though I know he is in good hands he will not be in my hands.

Really?

Sometimes I wonder if Jason and I have the same conversations because we frequently walk away with different conclusions. Tonight J had lit a fire in the stove which lead me to asking about the position of the gate which keeps the kids away from the fireplace. He said he wasn't sure if he was going to move it and I said I thought it would be good to do before the party. Party? he said.

Evelyn's birthday party is at our house in two weeks. He was the one that wanted it here rather than at my parents house. I swear I even double checked with him before filling out the invites, but no tonight he was supprised to learn that it was going to be here. We clearly need some help in the communication department.

The good news is he still wants it here though after this weekend I'm hoping not to leave him home alone much leading up to the party as I don't want the house to be a disaster - I'm going to have too much to do anyway. Wish me luck!

Doctor's appointment

Today William had his 2 month check up! It's hard to believe that he is two months already and then again looking at him it is hard to believe that he is only two months. He weighed in at 13 lbs 10 oz and is now 23 inches long. he was a bit upset at the appointment because he wanted to eat and I didn't want to get him started then take him off though maybe I should have. He didn't show off his mad tummy time skills for the doc but I assured her that he was doing well with his neck strength. Today he also got his vaccinations poor guy though he actually settled down fairly quickly but then I also had to feed him after the shots so that may have had something to do with it too.

After the appointment he slept off and on while I ran some errands and got my oil changed.

Disapline issues

between J and i that is. Jason got smacked in the face quite a few times today (she tries to take his glasses and ends up hitting him) and so he now wants to start hitting (well swatting but still). Evelyn in punishment. We had quite the disagreement about this as I am apposed to even gentle hits as punishment for several reasons: I mean really trying to teach a kid not to hit by hitting??? J is apposed to a time out as he feels that isolation is not a good punishment. Sigh I asked him for other options and he just walked away saying we would talk tomorrow. J has a habit of doing that and I would be willing to put down a large wager that we not only don't talk about it tomorrow but will not talk about it until I bring it up and since I don't see him much these days who knows when that will be.

Rolling over

William rolled over today for the first time. I'm thinking it was the way I put him down rather than him figuring it out because he has only done it once and it was right after I put him down. Still it is the first and we shall see if he does it again.

The party day!

Today was a busy day for us. We went to Grow more farms to find a pumpkin patch which they didn't have. but Evelyn enjoyed seeing some of the other stuff that they had like the goats :) After a short stay (we left really late) we went home and put Evelyn to bed for a nap. She didn't go down well because dad didn't give her a nuk or her lovey. Apparently he is trying to get her off the nuk and didn't mention this to me. I had already snuck in and given her the lovey and nuk when he told me the latter was on purpose.

I'm not sure if she slept at all or not but she cried at 2"30 so we got up and headed out to the house warming party. we arrived a little late because Evelyn didn't want to go initially so I had trouble getting her out the door (making me think that she didn't actually sleep), on the way she was fussy and asking for milk. Once at the party she was a little on the shy side and didn't want to be put down. She was happy after she got her milk and went to play inside along with Kensi's toys. which gave me a chance to catch up a little with Kensi's mom. It was grate to see her as since she moved day cares and we have both had so much going on I haven't seen her in a while.

Evelyn and Kensi played very nicely together putting beaded necklaces on each other which was fun to watch. I have never seen Evelyn share that well before apparently Kensi is a good influence.

After not too long we were off to Zoes birthday party. Evelyn didn't want to leave but didn't fuss too much. and as a bonus it didn't take her too long to warm up at Zoe's house though she did play alone quite a bit.
