Week 3

Well, things are going good at work, I am still enjoying my "me" time but I'm a little resentful of hubby. This is now week 3 of me back at work and he has only watched Jacob for 1 1/2 days!! And yes, he has been busy with stuff but it's all race stuff that he shouldn't really be doing cause it's not really his job and he doesn't get paid that good for it. The jobs in the garage are not getting done and most days when I get home the dishes are stacked high, toys are scattered everywhere and I have a pile of laundry to do! I told him I need more help from him so Mondays he is suppose to vacuum and I asked him to do a few other things today. There is a BIG race this weekend at the track and I already know that he will be MIA all week. I feel like he doesn't really want us around him at the track, I am always the one that has to suggest ways for us to be together as a family (like borrowing his parents trailer so that I can camp out there this weekend and be with him in the evening) or I have to figure out how to get a sitter so I can join him on weekend activities (which I still haven't figured out so I sit at home while he goes out with friends). I feel bad for my MIL who often gets stuck with Jacob and even though I know she enjoys it (most times) she shouldn't have to watch him that much, I think he needs to step up a bit more and look after Jacob. But on the plus side at least I know when Jacob is over at Grandmas she is making sure he is fed good and she takes him outside to play. Hubby is still unsure on what to feed Jacob and on days like today when it's not so nice out he will just stay in the house where I would go to a indoor play park or even the mall just to get out and have some contact with other people~?!

Jacob's new thing now is screaming! And I don't like it!! I try and whisper too him, which usually makes him laugh so he stops yelling but if he wants something or doesn't want something he is very persistent and will yell till he gets it! He also likes to point to things now and I tell him what they are, he really likes lights and things up high.

Well, I was able to get mostly everything I wanted done this weekend and I even got to sleep in Saturday morning thanks to my in laws!! I returned the outfits Jacob got for his birthday that were either too small or the size he is in now but since I had no receipt or even gift receipt I only got the last sale price on all items (which was about 30% less then reg price), I ended up getting Jacob a small couch (the one that folds out to a bed) I was surprised to see that they are $50 so that was pretty much my entire gift card spent on one item! I also bought him his potty seat and I'm trying to find him a sippy cup that he will use for milk! I think it's time to wean him off the bottle (at least for day time feedings) but he doesn't seem to like any sippy cup I have tried! ? My cupboards are stocked with almost every kind, I think he might just skip the whole sippy cup stage and just go straight to a cup with no lid (he's actually pretty good at it and doesn't make too much of a mess if you help him drink).

Other then that not much else is new, I get Wednesday off for Canada Day but I will be really busy trying too get everything ready for our "camping" weekend at the track. Hubby won't be home all week so I think I will be more tired this week, I will feel like a single Mom! Good thing his parents are so nice and invited me to stay for supper all week!! That's one less thing I have to do by myself!! :D
