It has started

*So far both Ethan and Jared are enjoying school. Ethan has done a wonderful job with very few mess ups. His teacher sees potential in him and we are all working together to make sure that his 4th grade year is excellent. Jared, as usual is loving his classes and is as busy as ever. We originally signed him up for undergrad classes and then his professors talked him into taking graduate level courses. So at the end of this semester he will have his BS out of the way and one semester of his Masters done. Which in the big picture is a great thing but grad courses are friggin expensive. So we roll with it and in the end it will all work out for the better.

*My unemployment is finally suppose to start coming in this next week so that little bit of money will help so we won't deplete our savings so fast.

*Now that Ethan is back in school and I'm home all by myself I'm freakin BORED!!! I miss working....I never thought I'd say that!! I start babysitting this week too...I can't wait. I love babies :)


*I had my 7 month appt and everything went well. All of the measurements were normal and sounding good. I had my glucose test done and will get the results when I go back on my birthday for my next appt. He/She is moving around A LOT and keeps me up at night already. 2 - 3 am is the new play time, it's about the time Jared comes to bed and then the baby goes nuts. Jared got to feel it the other night and thought it was amusing. For now all of the activity is a welcome feeling. It's the beginning of the little moments that I get to savor for myself. But again there are the moments that it kicks/punches super low and it hurts. I am ready for those ones to be over!

*I've started applying Jared for jobs now and will start again in November before he graduates. My hope is that these places will get irritated with me sending his resume out multiple times and will call him in. I've sent them to everywhere I can think of locally and started sending them to other states as well. Something has got to come through for us; I really don't want to move anytime soon so cross your fingers that someone locally calls.
