Snow Day!
Well, I've finally caught a break. Even though we didn't get nearly as much snow as originally thought (10 to 12 inches was predicted, we only got about 4 or 5), they closed Kimi's school. So I get a snow day too. :) Not that I get to lounge around, there's housework to do and touch-ups and some freelance. But it's good to actually get some time to do it.
I want to give a shout out to Mary SanGiovanni. It's her birthday today! Yay Mary! I hope you get to stay home and play in the snow!
Not much new is going on. Worked at TI last night even though we had a total of about 4 shoppers. But it was only for 3 1/2 hours, so I can't complain. Friday is inventory night and I have to be there until we finish. That could be at 4 in the morning, but hopefully I'll get pregnancy sympathy. Heh. After that, I think I'm going to go. I'm just too pooped to handle it. I get paid well enough from babysitting and there should be an increase in freelancing come February. So I just might be saying goodbye to good old TI. Yay! But I'll be sure to buy all my Valentine's day stuff on discount first. hehe
Speaking of V-day...it's one of those holidays that my hubby "doesn't believe in." Now, I'm not stupid, I know it was a holiday created to sell greeting cards, candy, and flowers. I know it's completely commercial and all of that. But still, is it so much to ask for a little romance once a year? I mean, I NEVER get romance. No flowers for no reason. No surprise candlelight dinners. Nada. Fran is not romantic in the least. If he was, maybe I wouldn't give a crap about V-day. So every year I get the same speech. "I don't believe in Valentine's day. It's just a hallmark invention. blah blah blah blah." Every year he makes me feel bad about wanting to celebrate. Yet every year I get something. Sometimes flowers, sometimes candy, nothing big. But I never ask for anything big. I'm happy with a card and an evening alone together. I'm not high maintenance. But like I said, every year he ruins it by letting me know how much he hates it. All I want is for one year for him to pretend. I know how he feels, but just grinning and bearing it for my sake would mean a lot. Is this too much to ask? I mean, I'm a hopeless romantic. I do spur of the moment stuff for him ALL THE TIME. All I'm asking for is one romantic day a year. And if it bothers him that much to do it on V-day, then pick another time to be romantic.
Sorry for droaning on. It's just an annoying situation I find myself in every year. Luckily, Kimi's b-day is the 15th, so I have a lot to do to prepare for that, helps take my mind off it. This year we're doing a makeover party. Should be interesting. :)
Anyhoo, moving on. Everything is going well with the baby. I start my childbirth classes next month. I've been through it all before, but Fran hasn't. So I decided it was best to do it over again. Besides, I haven't done this in 9 years, I'm sure there's a lot I've forgotten. I just can't wait to see Fran's face when he has to watch that video of a birth. Wonder if he'll pass out. hehehehehehe
Well, I better run. Duty calls. I've got a vacuum with my name on it. Till next time.........
