Last night was a better night. Apparently Charlotte woke up around 11:45 when Dan was just about falling asleep, but he got up and fed her a bottle and she didn't make another peep until 5:00ish when he was getting ready for work. He then just rolled her over and gave her the paci and she went back to sleep until 7:30. Have I mentioned lately how much I adore my husband? I feel better this morning and subsequently don't want to sell Charlotte anymore. Sleep can fix so many things!
I was looking for stocking stuffers at Wal Mart the other day, and ran across the huge bin of $5.00 movies......oh, who am I kidding, I love that bin!! Anyway, I just thought I would put it out there that there are some awesome DVDs happening in the $5.00 bin right now. At least at my Wal Mart, yours may have different inventory so don't come after me if you only find the normal First Wives Club and Bruce Lee kinda garbage. But while I was digging through looking for something for a certain man in my life, I found at least 6 DVDs that I would like for myself. Too bad Christmas isn't about buying gifts for yourself!! lol I'd be all set if it was. Ha-ha-ha.
Speaking of $5.00, I got a note in Maddie's lunch box yesterday from another mother trying to organize the pooling of money together to get Maddie's preschool teacher a "together gift" as she put it. Each kid would bring in $5.00 and one parent would collect it and get Ms. Pam a gift certificate for a manicure or a massage....something special just for her. (not my words) Anyway....it bugs me. Is this kinda thing what happens once kids get into school? Not only do we not have $5.00....I mean theres 5 bucks in the bank, but I don't have cash on me, but I already got Maddie's preschool teacher a gift. I got her a Chris Tomlin CD that I thought she would like. I don't know what really bugs me about this, but it all just rubs me the wrong way. I'm gonna give the $5.00 (Dan gave me cash) just to not be labeled as the difficult parent or to have that awkwardness where Maddie's name isn't on the card and thus it's made clear that we didn't contribute, but I don't like it.
It was in the mid 70's yesterday and humid!! It was sticky and gross and I got sweaty just going to the store. What is going on with the weather? Where is my fabulous jacket and mittens wearing weather? We had to put the AC on for a bit just to cool the house down cause it was 77 degrees inside and both the girls were sweaty and had red cheeks. My goodness. It's the middle of December. This weather better get gone soon, because I can't handle summerish temperatures for Christmas! I had enough of that while I lived in California!!
I'm really unhappy with Dan's company at the moment. Every other year they have closed down and given their employees Christmas eve and Christmas day off. They project their goals for the end of year and if they feel they will be met (which they always have) then everyone gets to spend those days with their families instead of making insulin. Well, apparently this year they are not 100% sure (mostly sure, but not 100%) that their goals will be made so they are staying open Christmas eve day.....which Dan has scheduled to work. It sucks, and I would rather have him home. The kicker for me though is that they are closing down at 6:00pm on Christmas eve which means that the night crew gets Christmas eve off, and since Christmas day is off too, the night crew doesn't have to come back to work until the 26th at 6:30pm.....which means that they get 2 paid days off. Dan gets 30 minutes off, and the night crew gets 2 days?!? It really irritates me that Novo is so inconsistent, and it seems that Dan is always getting the short end of the stick when it comes to holidays. I guess thats just what happens when the Monday through Friday corporate jerks make the rules that affect the shift scheduled folks. You can guarantee that the dudes who are making this decision to stay open on Christmas eve won't actually be there working on Christmas eve. They will be with their families.....which is where all of the employees should be. Especially Dan!! lol
I'll get over it, but it just adds coal to my already burning fire of dislike for Novo. Well, I better get going. I have some felt to cut out. Can you say art project this weekend? Have a good Thursday.....you may see me back here before the day is through, but I'm trying to be optimistic that my day is going to be great!! Dan is coming home early today just because, so it WILL be great!!
