Introduction
WOW!! Christmas already! I have to admit I have not been in the Christmas spirit this year. It took a Birthday party for Jesus with the kids in my Sunday School class to get me in the mood, but now I am, so VISA beware!!!
Today it is in the 20's here with a wind chill of -1!!!! We had some flurries in the middle of the night and just enough to stay on the top of the car so we could see it this morning. They are calling on a wintry mix, possibly snow on Christmas day which would be great! We haven't had a white Christmas since 1989.
I am typing this on our brand new computer. I am so excited that we got it. It is so much faster than the old one. I have been downloading songs and having a lot of fun checking out the new features. DH and I had decided this would be our present to each other. However, we did buy each other a few small things to open. I need one more good small thing for him, but I may have came up with something not so small.
We bought a new TV for our living room. We put the old TV from the living room in our bedroom, since it was bigger than the one we had in there. Well, one night we were in bed watching TV when it popped and went off. Then we started smelling smoke. One of the circuits caught on fire. We moved the TV that was originally in the bedroom back into the bedroom. Now it is posessed. Once you turn it off, you can still hear the program you were watching while it was on. A few of the places around here have TV's pretty cheap. Not as cheap as we were originally talking about, but it would be a nice suprise. He watches TV more in our room than I do, as I usually fall asleep shortly after my head hits the pillow.
Now to the lovely Christmas present from my body: I know I wrote last about how much I would like a baby, etc. Well, AF is offically a week late. The bad news is both times I have tested (once on Saturday and again today) are negative. I am very regular with AF. She comes on a Monday in the AM. I could set a clock by it. The worst thing about this is I want to be PG so bad, and I'm not and yet by body is acting like it is. I am so moody and short with my temper. I am all yucky feeling and tired. The nurse at my ob's office said if nothing has happened by next week I will have to come in and have a horomone shot and then go on BCP for 3 months to get regulated again. I'm so upset and frustrated by all of this. Everything in my body is all out of sync.
Happier things, happier things......
Santa doesn't have much for Jared since he has just about everything (and the grandparents have bought him even more!), but here is a list of what we have for him:
Under the tree for us we have some pjs and slippers (Buzz LIghtyear!), Yahtzee Jr game, art set, Rescue Heroes PC game.
Santa has: a hockey goal, Hero City Haunted House, matchbox cars, tool box, a Rescue Hero, A big rescue Hero and two micro REscue Heroes playsets.
With everything else going on, I almost forgot one of the most important things that happened last week. We had someone come out from the Early Childhood Initiative. It's a federally funded program for children not in licensed daycare to make sure that they are school ready. They are supposed to come out and do a assessment of your child and then meet with you monthly to help you get your child school ready. The lady came out and started her assessment. This is how it went:
L: What is your full name?
Jared: Buzz Lightyear Neutron
L: What would you like for me to call you? Buzz Light?
Jared: No, you can call me Dude.
The whole thing went like that. I was ready to crawl under the couch. She said he needs to work with his fine motor skills (which I already knew). She then asked when he would be going to school. Because of his birthday, he misses the cut off for school by 6 weeks. He would not be going until fall of 2006. She said that if we held him out until the we will have big problems because he will be bored and he will either be defiant or withdraw out of boredom. She is checking to see what we need to do within our school system to get him in early, but she also suggested checking into the private schools as well. I am very torn by this because I don't want to hinder him, but I don't want to puch him into something if he is not ready, either. I am worried with all of the talk there has ben about boys not being "emotionally ready". I don't want to put him in and then have problems later when he is in middle or high school. We are going to look at a Montessori school in January and see what they have to say, but we still are not sure what we should do.
That's all for now. I made Jared a rice table today (since it was soo cold!) and I now have rice to sweep up!
Talk to you soon and Happy Holidays!!!
