Socializing

Yesterday was a good day. Not tooo much to report, but a busy, non-eventful day. I have started getting up early (before Emmett leaves for work) and trying to have some time to myself then so that when Thomas gets up I won't feel like I have to put him in front of the TV for a while to get some time to wake up. It works out well - yesterday we were TV-free for the WHOLE DAY!! Yay!
Thomas and I went to the Y yesterday for my workout, but I got behind schedule somehow yesterday morning and so we were really late getting there. Thomas had refused to eat his breakfast because I'm so stupid and gave him a bottle of juice&water when he got up, so he wasn't hungry. Of course by the time we got to the Y and I started my workout he was STARVING! So about 1/2 hour into my workout I hear over the loudspeaker "Melissa Nolan to childwatch please" - it took a while to register that they meant me, but when I got there, his eyes were red and he looked really unhappy. I felt bad that I hadn't brought him any snacks or anything, so stupid, but by the time we were actually getting out of the house I started rushing around and completely forgot. The long and short is that we got out of there and came home so I could give him so lunch and put him down for his nap.
While he was napping I called on that other job and had a good conversation with the hiring manager. I feel encouraged. I don't want to let all my eggs fall in that basket and I'm trying really hard not to feel that if this doesn't work out it will be a disaster, but I REALLY want this job. I'm going to pray like crazy, it can't hurt.
I did get some housework down yesterday and then Deb came over for dinner which was nice. It was good to see her, it had been a while. She seems to be doing very well and I'm happy about that- she's had a tough year. We talked alot about plans and life and it was good to have adult conversation and just get away for an evening. After our dinner here (Emmett's AMAZING spaghetti sauce mmmmmmmmmmmm), she and I walked down to the Thai restaurant and had a delicious dessert.

Thomas is doing so well, really enjoys being read to and is getting very good and making his wishes known and demanding attention. It's good. He's learned the word "devil" and seems to enjoy saying just a little too much haha.

Well, I gotta run, the baby is awake and Emmett's waiting to use this computer to prepare for his morning meeting.

Love,
Melissa
