Update

It's been a crazy few weeks!

I still haven't gotten too far into the school process for Midget yet. I got sick for a week and have also been awoken between 4 and 5 AM almost every day for the past 2 weeks. I think the lack of sleep is catching up to Midget though (that and the melatonin increase).

Let's see what else.....

Oh yes... oh joy for me! I have to have a root canal. Fun stuff! February 2nd we will be out $2000 but at least I'll still be able to eat and enjoy it!

I wasn't planning on throwing Midget a party this year because I can't afford it nor do I have room to have one here. I might change my mind a bit but haven't decided yet (although I need to soon). The one thing I have decided on is that I will take him to see Playhouse Disney Live as his birthday present. (Just need to order the tickets.) I've been stashing away the child support all year for his birthday so I think I can splurge just a bit to let him see his fave characters again. He hasn't been able to watch any of those shows since we moved to East Wenatchee because I couldn't afford a monthly cable bill any more. I may use whatever is left over from the child support money for a party but we shall see.

Since I've been sick and sleeping less, when I am awake enough to do so I crochet. The week I was sick I made a teddy bear for a friend having her first baby. She loved it and I'm thrilled! *grin* I had so much fun with that one, I'm trying another pattern to see if it'll be any better.

I will be spending the next month planning a baby shower for another friend. I asked her hubby if they knew of one being planned and he said no. I told him I wanted to do it then so I'm really excited that they are excited about it too! *grin*

Ok well it's time for Midget's breakfast and I should get a load of dishes in the dishwasher. Then I think I might sit and watch an episode of Gilmore Girls while working on the teddy bear.

*wave*

Things change!

So must life and goals!

Starting next week I will begin the process of getting Midget back into school. As soon as 1) his IEP is finalized, 2) a para-pro is hired and trained, and 3) I can find someone to watch him for the hours he's not in school... I will be returning to work full-time.

I don't know how this is going to work but I must make it happen. I cannot lose one of the most important people in my life because my life is tough. Somehow it will happen, this will work, and we will fix everything! It has to!

Done!

The pantry is finally cleaned out and organized. But now my kitchen looks like a tornado went through it. *snort* That will have to wait until tomorrow. I'm beat!

New Year, New Me!

At least I hope I can do it! I want to so I need to try, right? (For a refresher on what I'm talking about, read my Goals post.)

It's now day 5 of the new year and I have not kept up very well. But really since Mr Indy was still on vacation, I give myself a break for the last 4 days. Today starts the madness!! *snort*

I am working on organizing and decluttering the kitchen and living room this week. Since the living room isn't that bad but usually just needs a good tidy, I figured I can do 2 rooms this week.

Today's main task is the pantry. It is a mess and I'm sure there are cans and boxes of food in there that are now expired. I had it organized just a couple of months ago but I let it get away from me. Time to fix it!

Here's my To-Do list for today:

Clean out fridge
Do dishes
Take out trash
Tidy living room
Finish putting yarn in storage container
Wash towels
Clean out pantry
Clean off table
Shovel snow (we got a good few inches last night so I need to shovel out my van!)

And with that, I need to get Midget out of bed and start the madness (after breakfast). Here's to a new year and a new me!!
