It’s Wednesday, this time next week we will be on our way to Ohio for our Easter visit. We are all excited about it. Tonight for dinner we had Skyline Chili, from a can, and are looking forward to the real stuff next week. It’s one of those Cincinnati things! We do miss being there, and not only for the food. Hopefully by then we’ll all be rid of this flu and ready for some visiting w/ family and friends.
We went to Waffle house this past Sunday night on the way home from the shore, and it was odd to be there when it’s not smoke filled. In Ohio theres no law against smoking in restaurants so we got used to the smokiness there. It was much better not having to deal with the smoke, especially when you already have sinus problems.
My sister in law quit her job and is enjoying her time as a stay at home mom for the first time this week. I keep wanting to call her now that she’s home during the day but it’s a long distance call, they live on the eastern shore. Dean already got on me cause I called her last night and we just saw them on Sunday and talked to my brother on Monday! We’re hoping to be able to get together once in a while now that she’s home during the day. It will be good for the kids if we can, and well for us too!
I’m so excited, Dean actually is talking about baby # 2, well in his own way. It’s odd to see him change his mind about waiting, but I dont think he ever wanted to really wait, it’s just the money factor that keeps him wanting to wait. We find it hard to talk about really serious things but well Dean is just not a serious kind of guy. In our small group we are doing a marriage study and there are communication exercises and we just cant do it. Well I cant. Dean tries but it’s so hard for me to take him seriously because he’ll try so hard to look sincere or he’ll say stuff like ” so you are saying that you dont like it when blah blah blah….is that right” I cant help but smirk. Ok, that might not sound good on my part, but if you knew him like I do, you might understand. I’m so used to him making me laugh or making jokes of things that I find humor in his seriousness, or attempt at it. So lets just say the topic of babymaking is hard to discuss, but we try. Despite our crazy communication style, we do pretty good, with the not so major stuff. We do actually find it helpful to try real conversation if it’s truly important, or something that will set one of us off. yeah, I know babies are serious decisions, but when you know that you both want more children and the question is just when it’s not really that serious. It’s not like I have a career to worry about or anything. So all that said, who knows when we’ll have another baby, but the thought that my nephew just turned 3 and Caleb will soon by 2 makes me realize the sooner the better. I always wanted to have another one before Caleb turned 3 but when I think it’s not that far away when you consider he’ll be 3 in 18 months and a pregnancy is about 10 months, you have to give yourself time to try and with us that might take a while since it did with Caleb. As you can see I have thought about it, and I thought for sure we’d already be preggo w/ #2 by now, or at least been trying a while, but neither is the case. We are still in the thinking about it stage, but I think that may change soon. So with any luck….now for all those relatives out there reading, dont get too excited, we are still THINKING about it. I think! I find his sudden change in attitude odd, but maybe it has to do with his sudden “emotional” problem he talks about here. Oh no, maybe he’s preggo!!! That would be interesting…
Dana where are you!! Missing you girl!
