Sick, back pain, sick… yep that’s about how my day went!  Dean got home a little early, about 30 minutes or so.   I made some yummy spaghetti w/ italian sausage, which is funny because Dean normally hates spaghetti, but once I told him I was putting sausage in it he was happy about it!  we then headed to walmart and sams club since we needed things and I hadnt been up to getting out to run errands w/ the kids.
We got home and got the kids in bed then enjoyed our first evening with having directv and tivo back!!  We cancelled it in December I think, they just suspended the acct and gave us a credit and said when we were ready to call back to have it reactivated at no extra cost.   So since we are doing ok money wise, this week, and are expecting our tax money back with which we are hoping to pay off our van and some credit cards putting us in an even better financial situation we thought we’d go ahead and turn it back on since we can afford it.   That and I am so spoiled!! it’s great having it back, being able to not have to sit and watch House while it was on since we had it tivo’d so we could watch it w/out commercials!   I know I am spoiled but if we can afford it….not to mention I keep thinking how great it was to have when I woke up for feedings w/ a newborn to have things that we recorded to be watched whenever we want! so that will be nice, I know it’s weeks away but at the rate we record things we can build up a good amt of shows to watch when the time comes!!
After watching House dean and I both fell asleep, so much for a romantic valentines!  we didnt exchange gifts, just cards.   We know once the tax money comes we’ll each have some money to spend so it was ok with us. Not to mention theres nothing I really want right now, but that cool new highchair I really want to get!!  Yeah, how romantic would that be, a freaking high chair! well gotta run….got tons to do. tomorrows our first of weekly ultrasounds to check on Baby E and see how well he’s growing due to the diabetes. I’m so excited, Dean’s going w/ me so that’s cool too. after that, and after Caleb gets home from school we’re all getting haircuts. it’s going to be a busy day, but should be worth all of the running!
