Dean’s parents are visiting but we will have little time with them, there’s so much going on this week. Seems like something is always going on in our household. Today I actually feel satisfied at my week. Looking back, for me at least, it was much less stressfull than prior weeks. Then again that’s probably because whatever came our way this week was sent to Dean’s direction so he had to deal with it all. I usually get stuck with facing things but I had a break this week. Except for the fact I washed a $300 money order that we received from someone anonymous and now we are out the money and so are the senders!!( since we dont know who it was.) Come on though, if you accidently wash a regular check it holds up, mostly. But the money order looks like a washed tissue or paper cloth. It’s very sad. I have tried not to think about it, I put the blame on Dean for leaving it in his pants pocket but he blames me for not checking pockets. But come on, being a busy mom he’s lucky I even had time to wash the darn pants so expecting me to have time to empty his pants pockets is asking a bit much.
The new babysitter was great this week. She wont know til tomorrow if she can watch him everyday (well everyday for half a day), and we arent sure if my brother in law will be back on Monday so I am a little worried but not much. I am content with the thought I may have to stay home with Caleb, although we really need the money but we’ll get by. Like always.
Caleb has mastered, mind you at a mere 6 months old, pulling himself up on the side of his playpen or crib and standing there laughing at us. He knows he is a handful!! And a ham. He loves the camera, we’ll have to get some recent pics up soon. He’s also learned to say “Hi!” The dr couldnt believe it, but he actually says it. Plain as day. It’s adorable.
Hope this weekend turns out better than my sad Valentines Day. I was dressed to go to dinner but we never made it because we were waiting on Dean’s parents since we hadnt seen them since they got in town so I ended up cooking and going to Walmart for baby products. how very romantic!! Yeah uh-huh. Sure. There’s always next year. But like Dean said, at least we were together and we have Caleb which makes everyday worthwhile!!
