Thursday October 4, 2012
It was a rough start to the morning.
I have been driving in this week and was planning on taking the bus this morning but I just couldn't bring myself to wake up, so I said why not, I'll just drive in for the rest of this week and get back to the bus next week.
So I set my alarm a little later to get some more shut eye.
I woke up even later than I thought, so rushed to get ready in the dark since Tyler kept hitting snooze on his alarm too, threw my lunch together and ran out the door to pick up Doll on the way in. The commute didn't take too much longer than usual, which is surprising considering there was a crazy heavy amount of traffic compared to normal. I guess everyone has the same idea this week :)
I get to the parking lot I park in, and the attendant usually just tells me to leave my car where it is and that he'll park it, but he decided today that I can park it myself--which is normally fine because I just do the best I can and I leave my keys with him to fix it lol. I was backing up and not paying attention and hit the car behind me! Thank God I was going slow and had a quick reaction to slam on the break when I heard the sound. Nothing made a mark on mine or the other car (Thank GOD). So I am ready already to call this day and go back to bed LOL. Phew.
Since I left early yesterday, I had quite a few emails in my inbox waiting and some phone messages, but nothing too major. Most of it was just taskings being responded to so I could close out the file. Now I'm all caught up and it's 8:36AM...hopefully the day goes a little quicker than this!
Yesterday on the way home, I stopped at the grocery store and picked up all the ingredients I need to make some pumpkin pie and pie crusts. I was planning on making them ahead and freezing them to bake on Saturday at thanksgiving, but I decided to just do it Friday night when I get home from work instead and bake them up and just reheat them at my moms--since pies with a filling like that (much like a custard pie) can't be made too far in advance because the crust gets all soggy. I am going to look up new ways to do the edges of my crust instead of the boring same old :) How boring am I? lol
It was a hectic hour in our house last night with Thanksgiving plans--everyone this year was having conflicting schedules--and if anyone knows Tyler, he hates when things change and HATES when it causes problems...so...long story short--thanksgivings got moved around on my side so his wouldn't have to move (thank God for my sisters mother-in-law changing her date for us). Now we can all have thanksgiving together--geeesshhh! For a time we're supposed to all love each other and be giving thanks, it certainly does create a lot of issues...too many families involved now lol...oh well..like Ty said to Peggy on the phone last night--"Who cares? Everyone will be coming to our house in a couple of years" lol...God, I hope that's the case. I would love to have a house to hold everyone and cook for everyone and have just ONE day with all the families together. MUCH less stressful.
Anyways--another good thing about this weekend is that our nursery furniture has arrived!! So hopefully we can set something up to pick it up at the boutique it's from in Cornwall this weekend when we're in town and get it all assembled and ready during the week! I am SO SO sick of looking at a room with nice painted walls, a lamp, rug and curtains sitting empty like that! lol. Once the crib is in, it will feel so much better! I am in major nesting mode and I can't handle the room being empty. Then I can stock the
"change table" hutch thing with diapers and lotions and wipes and all that fun stuff to prepare even more :) I know we'll get lots at our shower but oh well! Never hurts to have extra of things :)
I read in my book that if the baby were born this week (24 weeks) that he would have over an 85% chance of survival--that everything is fully developed and formed now, he's just fattening up--and the hospitals are capable of growing him in an incubator if worst comes to worst. I am the type of person that takes comfort in facts like this :) 85% is still not enough for my little man, I want 100% but it's better odds than nothing! Phew :) Almost there!
We have picked the God Parents of our little bundle of joy, we just have to make plans with them and sit down and ask them. It wasn't a very tough choice--as soon as I mentioned them, we both just kinda went "yes!"..it feels like the "right" decision and I am so excited to ask them! I suppose the God Parent role is more of a figure head position right now, since, if we die, they won't be taking him (that's for the legal guardians to do) but just to be positive role models and guides to our son in his life :) It also feels good to be able to scratch a big decision like this off the list---now let's just hope they say yes! hehe
Is anyone else really excited about stuffing?? LOL...it's all my mind keeps wandering back to ..mmmm..
Also--I've been looking for one of those whipped cream dispensers--where you just pour heavy cream into and it uses nitrous oxide or whatever to make it delicious whipped cream without having to whip it yourself--anyone know where you can get these? I must not be looking in the right places..
Last night Ty and I finished Season 2 of the Walking Dead..what an epically amazing show. LOVE it. Now we have to find the last season of Grey's we missed to catch up on and then we're all caught up on everything until the new seasons that are on right now come out! We need to find another show to get into to pass that time--we've received a few suggestions from some trustworthy sources (lol) so we'll see!
Anyways--not much else has happened in the last 24 hours--so everyone enjoy your Thursday because tomorrow is a FRIDAY of a LONG WEEKEND! Woohooo!!!
