Tuesday, August 22

Two teeth. I don' t know if I posted that already, but Spencer has two now. They came in on August 10th (Thurs) and 15th (Tues). He was supposed to get shots on that Tuesday, but we postponed them to today. So that means I have a doctor's appt and Spencer gets shots. I just put him down for a nap and he is making his happy squealing noises. I'm so glad he has finally gotten some relief in the past week or so. He actually took a two and a half hour nap yesterday. I wasn't expecting that. I actually fell asleep with him. It was after about 50 minutes, I thought he's wake up (and thus I'd wake up) after about 10 minutes. He didn't and when I woke up I felt bad for sleeping so long.

I had a good workout yesterday and ate well. We will probably go out tonight, so I'll have to eat really well and little today if I want to keep on the diet plan. Haven't smoked since Saturday. I've said I'm going to quit so many times in the last few months it makes me sick. I'm NOT going to say that this time is different, because I've said that about 20 times before, but I'm just going to try to make it different. Tonight will be the first real test. T/L are coming at usual time but Mike will be home late because of a doc's appt. I imagine when he gets home, I'll need a smoke to calm down or at least just get out of the house and into the garage. I'll try to stay strong, though.

I'm trying really hard to relax about Lucy. I try to "prep" myself before she arrives so that I maintain calm and focus. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't (more often the latter).

School starts next week. I had a dream last night about me sitting in my classroom working and then realizing that it was someone else's desk. The other person came and I had to scramble to grab all my stuff and clear out. I guess that was inevitable. I plan on going in for lunch in a couple of weeks to say "Hi!"

Time elapse...

Weird thing about that dream. Today the teacher who is replacing me called and asked about using some materials I had made. Maybe I knew he was going to call. I apologized for all the stuff I left behind for him. He said he didn't mind, and didn't know what to expect.

Spencer's shots went as well as can be expected. He didn't nap very well, so I put him down early again. It's becoming more and more common that he doesn't nap in the evening and goes to bed early. I really wish he would take more regular naps. I know I could force the issue, but I hate keeping him up when he's tired or waking him from sleeping. He passed out though when I put him down at 730.

Nothing else interesting happening. I think I'm pregnant, I guess that qualifies as interesting LOL. Mike is well. He' not been drinking for almost two weeks. He said it was not as hard as he thought it would be. Good for him! Maybe I am making it out to be a bigger deal than it is.

Hopefully I'll get a positive preg test soon!!!
