Can you believe it, I am posting two days in a row! Steve volunteered to work a few hours this morning and I was supposed to go shopping with my mom. My mom didn't get out of bed until 10:00, by this time I had already gotten up, fed Cooper breakfast, took a shower, played with Cooper, put him down for a nap, got ready, made brownies and pasta salad for a cook-out later, started some laundry, got Cooper out of bed, and was ready to go. I didn't want to be gone all day so I scratched those plans and decided to run some other errands that needed taken care of. Steve's parents were already excited they got to keep Cooper for a few hours so he is there now, Steve is still at work, and I'm at home by myself. Doesn't happen often. I forgot what quite sounded like! When Steve gets home we need to go get a high chair, the we will pick up Cooper. I registered for the Fisher Price Space Saver high chair when I was pregnant. I think Steve's mom bought it for us. We got it out and put it together but didn't bother to attach it our chair. Needless to say, it is kind of awkward with our chair and table. I guess it's a combination of our chair being too high and the table being too low, it's a weird fit. So we are going to get a different one and try to sell the one we have. I think it goes for $40-50 in stores, I'm willing to sell for $25 if anyone knows anyone who needs one. It's never been used. Once Upon a Child tried to give me $8 for it, that wasn't happening.
I am down to 3 weeks left at work. I'm getting excited, but scared at the same time. I am super excited to be home and spend more time with Cooper, but it's scary going down to one income. I know we will be fine, I ran the numbers a hundred times and a hundred different ways, this will be the first time in 13 years I haven't had a job. There was a brief 2 months my last semester of college I didn't work, I was in between and internship and graduation that I didn't work. But I was also living at home with no real responsibility outside of trying to get good grades. Weren't those the days? A new intern started at work this week, I just want to scream "Stay in school as long as you can". Picture Adam Sandler in Billy Madison. I don't want to scare the poor girl but lets face it, the real world isn't all it's cracked up to be. I guess that is why I have decided to stay at home an engage in child's play for the next few years.
