Blank Mind

In the past few days, I've wanted to come on and write something good. Something interesting. Something new. And I feel like I've got nothing.

Morgan - Still going to therapy. We have an appt tomorrow morning. They may be impressed that she's trying to get to her knees and pull up. But that's about all the progress she's made. She still butt scoots her way around. I think she'd like to get up and starting running after Alyssa, but she gets so damn frustrated and screams every time she tries to pull herself up and then I've got to spend a half an hour calming her down. She's only got two more sessions before the summer break, but I think I'm going to go to some private therapy for her throughout the summer.

Alyssa - She's doing good. We need to start looking into preschools for her. I've even wrote the numbers down, but haven't called them yet. I really need to be on top of this if I want to send her in the fall. The one school we visited said that the 3 yr old classes are not usually a problem to get her enrolled as they don't fill up as fast, but I'd like this to be a done deal and have it situated before the school year is over. We did visit one place and I liked the school and the set up. I don't want to jump on it though, because it is the first school we looked at and I want to make sure we pick the very best for her. Plus, it is on Tuesday and Thursday mornings from 9-11. Those are the two days I work during the week. I'm sure my mom or my MIL would gladly drop her off for me, but I WANT to do it. I want to send her off and pick her up. I want to hear good reports and see her face and hear about her day right after. So, if we were to pick that school, I'd need to adjust my work schedule and I hate to do that too. I just need to get my butt moving and make some decisions and phone calls here very soon.

Me - I've purchased a spot of a flea market type of thing for the middle of May, so I've been going through all my stuff like crazy looking for the junk I don't need and can try to sell to some other person who will find it their treasure. I've pretty much emptied my closet to get rid of almost all of my clothes that don't fit me anymore. I've really got to go though some closets and start pulling out stuff that I KNOW I'll never use, but for some stupid reason, I'm holding onto. I think I've got four scales and I for sure don't need ALL of those. I also have not a clue as to how to price anything. So, how much do sell plus sized clothes that are in good shape for? And is it appropriate to sell lingerie-type pajamas? I have a few that are really nice that I hardly wore, but would be way to big for me know. And how much would I sell them for?

Going Crazy

My head has been a bit frazzled this week.

In the past two weeks, we have had Alyssa evaluated, looked at a pre-school. Had Morgan evaluated and started her through a private PT for the time being. Got Morgan into the EI program through our county and that starts next week. I had to re-arrange my work schedule in order to make sure I was able to take Morgan to her appointments and find Alyssa a babysitter because siblings are not allowed in the parent-child classes.

But I think after today, I've got everything under control. My head really has been a mess and it was driving me nuts that I couldn't get all the schedules to fall into place.

So, to jump from one thing to another. I have a dilemma...

My sister is due to have her baby September 14th. I was supposed to go on vacation with my step-brother and SIL and their kids to Myrtle Beach, leaving on September 13th. Their hotel is booked, but we haven't booked ours yet. I was still thinking about going, but my sister made it very clear that if I miss her baby's birth that she'd be mad at me.

So, do I skip out on vacation this year, because she "might" go into labor then?!?

Plus the doctors she goes to is the same ones that I went to and I've heard numerous women say that they like to induce once someone hits 38-39 weeks. So, it's a possibility that she will go early because of that. But, I can't wait that long to book my hotel and make the vacation plans. I need to do that in the near future here.

I know skipping one year of vacation doesn't seem like a big deal, but I was really looking forward to it since I came back from vacation last year.

Now, I'm super excited for her and I really don't want to miss her birth either, so this should be a no-brainer, right?!?
