its been a long time since i have posted anything. been really down lately. i think the post partum has finally hit me. not even excited for the holiday's. maybe after we get the tree today it will help. i really miss being in touch with everyone. i think thats part of the problem. i have cut myself off as i try to deal. it really sucks when you cry at the drop of a hat. most days i am ok and then an overwhelming fear and sadness sits on my shoulders. its like someone is second guessing every thought that i have and every move that i make. its really wierd. i am really hoping that it doesn't rub off on dan or dylan. i keep trying to think of how lucky we are and how blessed we are but then that black cloud appears and ruins everything. i have been thinking about righting again. its always helped me in the past. i don't know whats holding me up though. i need to move on i guess and try to be happy. i am happy deep down but the doubt that i currently have is really weighing on that. my self worth is low and that is in no way dans fault. he is doing what he can to help me. its me and i know it.
on a happier note, dylan is walking. that makes me sad but happy at the same time. i couldn't believe how pleased he looked when he walked toward me the other night. he was so excited that he did it himself. he doesn't like to hold your hand and try it yet. he is so independent. i am looking forward to christmas morning, its going to be fun watching him with his new toys.
the world looks so peaceful right now covered with snow. it almost soundproofs everything. winter used to be my favorite time of year until the fear set in. i need to over come the fear and be able to live again. i need to find the cause of the fear first though before it takes over everything.
we are going christmas shopping today. i had ordered something on line for a gift exchange but it has not come in yet. i am disappointed but i will live. the exchange is tomorrow so i have to find something else. once dan gets up i assume he will be hungry and want to leave. dylan is currently napping and i should be taking the time to straighten up the house. i have had the stomach flu for the past few days so i haven't done much of anything. it will be nice to get out of the house for something other than work. |

so much has happened in the past week. last wednesday they let our marketing director go. what a total shock to everyone. we all knew things were bad but we didn't realize they were that bad. then on friday they let 2 of our customer service people go. that really shocked us. we are now down to the bare bones in the office. are customers are getting worried. i have a job only because they are out of people to let go for right now. i am looking but there is nothing in my price range. it is really discourageing when you send resumes out and get no response. so many employers are requesting "no phone calls" it makes you wonder if your resume got filed in the trash before it made it anywhere else. i am trying to make the best of things at work, its hard with SO much negativity. I have been thinking about different things i would like to do with my life (most of which revolves around winning the lottery) and then the realistic things. unfortunately since i don't want to teach my BA in English means nothing. anything else i need to go back to school for. i have concerned nail tech (12 week program/2000k), radiolagy (2 year program/3000k), philbodomy (i think i spelled it right 2 year program/2000k) and no finacial aid for any of it. i have to work and i don't want to work and go to school. that's too long to be away from dan and dylan. i am really trying to have faith that somebody has a plan for me and i just need to go with the flow and it will eventually work out. i hope. |

i hurt my back. i actually went to the doctor because it hurts so bad. i now have neoproxin and a muscle relaxent to take for the next 7 days. they said it would take 3 days for the muscle relaxent to work. i can't take the full dose because it makes me sleepy. this really sucks.
work sucked today. not sure why. i really couldn't pinpoint it. i really just don't like being there. i need to decide what i want to do with my life and take the plunge. too scared to do it right now.
mom and i got into a small disagreement. actually, i got upset as she told me how selfish my husband is and how i should quit living my life to please him. it started because we are going on vacation next week and they are watching dylan. they asked if i would bring the crib down. she said if she thought i was going to have another one, she would just buy a crib. i told her it was up to dan, i wouldn't mind having a second child but it will be up to him. thats when she started in on him. again. i don't get it, dylan is only 8 months old yet everyone wants to know when the next one is on the way. i am really happy with just 1 child. is that so wrong right now. i don't have the mental strength to deal with another one right now. she said its not fair to me that all of our decisions are based on what dan wants and not what i want. since no one has bothered to ask me what i want that's not a fair comment.
life sucks right now. |

i just found i royally screwed up my checkbook. this is really not good!! i am not sure what i did either or how it happened. i think i got low one day and i haven't caught up since. i hate asking dan for money. i could take it out of the savings and he would never know but i feel like i am lying to him when i do that. things will be back to normal in about 2 weeks but this really sucks. i guess thats why we have seperate accounts. at least i didn't screw up both our accounts! |

we had my sister in law and her boys over for dinner. dan's brother was thankfully at work. we had a good time. the boys were great. after i gave dylan his bath, alex wanted one. hey if the kid wants a bath, who am i to tell him NO? he splashed and played for about 30 minutes. probably the cleanest he has been all week.
alex has to have another surgery. this will be his 3rd in 2 years. the opening of his bladder isn't wide enough and its causing problems. they also found his kidneys are not working right, one's at 30% and the other is at 60%. they haven't told susan what that means yet. she has to meet with the doctor next week to find out how they can fix it. i feel so bad for her. they have major money issues, their oldest had ADHD and now this. she is handling it well.
dylan had a bad day yesterday. he wouldn't eat. i know is gums are bothering him really bad. he finally had 2 jars of food and 2 bottles before he went to bed. i think he made up for it today cause he was a piggy. i wish those teeth would pop through soon though. he is so miserable.
i started tia chi today. I LOVED IT. even after the first class, i felt so relaxed. right now its a 6 week thing, i am hoping to continue it if i can keep it up. its one saturday mornings so that shouldn't be hard, not like i can sleep in anymore. dan thought about coming with me but decided i should have something that is mine. i think he would enjoy it. he is going to start running again so he can have his me time. i will say this: tia chi will definately help with the tummy muscles. the type we are studying has a lot of don't move your hips move your upper body moves. lots of core control. |

what a weekend. it seemed to go so fast. we saw a dinner theatre production on saturday that a friend of mine was in. i havent laughed that hard in ages. i am so glad that we went.
dan's sister stayed the night on friday. how annoying can 1 little person be. she is so rude. we were sitting talking in the morning and she looks at me and says, you know my brother doesn't want anymore kids. i just looked at here amazed that she would say that. i told her it hadn't been discussed yet given dylan isn't even a year old. she really can be rude
sunday we spent the day at my parents. that was unexpected. dylan swan for about 2 hours. at dinner he grabbed a piece of steak off my dad's plate and started knawing on it. it was so funny. of course i didn't have my camera. i was happy that he started eating his baby food though. he seems to be liking it more and more. |

i have been thinking about going into radiology. i need to do some research for it but i thought it sounded interesting. we will see. it will only work if a) i lose my job and don't have a choice or b) we win the lotterly. maybe things will change for us soon.

well we were going to take dylan to the circus last night. can you believe it was $20.00 a ticker per adult and $7.00 per child. for a one hour performance. we nearly died. the place was packed too. we ended up watching the elephant for a while and then coming home. dan said we could stay but i could justify spending over $40.00 on something dylan isn't going to remember.
when we got home my neighbors where practicing their kata's and new moves. i really miss my karate classes. we just don't have the cash for them right now. anyway, they were sparring and asked if i would like to participate. i hadn't had that much fun in ages. unfortunately i paid for it today. after 3 unmonitored rounds, my shoulder is killing me. if it isn't better by monday i am going to have it checked out. my neighbor was telling me about this tai chi class she was going to join, its a 6 week course for $40.00. I asked her to sign me up too. at least it will give me a chance to meet some other people and get out of the house. 1 hour a week for 6 weeks, i didn't think that was too bad.
dylan and i played a lot tonight. he tried climbing up the starts. oh i am so not ready for this. then he came up and tried to eat my chin, if it wasn't so funny it would definately be gross. dan is working tonight and i really miss him. i like our together when dylan goes to bed. at least its only for 2 nights. |

wow. i can't believe how long its been since i have had time to do this. dan's working over tonight and dylan's sleeping. i really need to make more time for me. i am really in need of me time
i had a jewelry party on sunday for a friend of mine. i misunderstood the hostess benefits though. i thought i got 30% off any item. here i get 30% in free jewelry of my total sales. that equals about 190.00 so far. how excited am i. like i need more jewelry. well maybe i do.
i sent another resume out today. we will see how this one goes. last job they said i wanted too much money. who would have thought that an administrative assistent would only make 9.00 an hour. that is insane. not to sure about this one though. i am trying to think positive.
i got flowers at work today. one of my customers sent them to me right before i got the letter that he was changing labs. it was a sweet thought though. unfortunately i am not getting enough new sales to replace the old ones. its not for a lack of trying. i guess i will keep trying.
we are taking dylan to the circus tomorrow. i can't w ait. he loves animals. it is a REALLY small one so i think he will have a good time. i just want to see the elephants. we took him to the parade on saturday. he did really well, it was really hot and long. he loved the bands and the horses. we wanted to take him to a local animal rescue on monday but i found out they are closed on mondays. on well, there is always the weekend.
he finally ate some baby food. i am not sure what changed but now he is actually opening up his mouth. i was so excited because he ate half a jar for dinner plus some fruit. the things i will get excited for lately! |

i feel so behind in everything lately! i think i need to prioritize more. i am happy because dylan is sleeping through the night again (he had a cold that prevented him from breathing correctly) and he is eating semi solid food. he had a ton of mashed potatoes tonight and managed to get most of them in his mouth. i wish i would have had my camera with me.
i applied for a new job. i hope to hear from them next week. it is for an administrative assistent. i don't know what the job summary is or how much it pays. a friend of mine works for the company and told me about it. she said she would put in a good word for me. i am really praying that this pans out for me. i really could use the change.
we are finishing our patio this weekend and dan is looking at buying a new truck tomorrow. we are supposed to have central air installed next week. i really hope so because it is REALLY hot.
arien_mommy comes home next week for a visit. i am really looking forward to it.
i am having a hard time concentrating lately. not sure if i am getting depressed or if its the heat. i hope it passes soon. |
