the first day of the rest of your life ....

So, still no photos to post!!? BOOOO !! I tried emailing pics from home to my work computer so I could add them on here but apparently we don't have the right program to make the pics small so when I tried emailing them they were too big and it wouldn't go through!? By next week for sure I will have pics to post!!!



Yesterday I started NS again and I must say that I am very happy that I was able to order everything off the American site so there are lots of yummy choices!! I have already tried a few new things and I must say they are really good!! I need to get better at my water intake but I am determined to get the weight off this time and keep it off!!



Jacob amazes me everyday, I wanted to share a few stories that I think are great! The other day he picked up a wrapper and I told him it was garbage so off he went ... opened the garbage can and placed the wrapper in there!! Then last night, hubby was having popcorn as a late night snack and Jacob went up to him and asked for some. So hubby gave him one to try, after Jacob ate it he ran over to the end table where his snack bowl was, grabbed it and headed back to hubby shaking it at him! It was like he was thinking ... hmm - that was good, I would like a bowl full please! he he Jacobs new thing is learning how to jump, it's the cutest thing to watch! He stands there and bends his knees up and down but doesn't get his feet off the ground, then he gets frustrated and will stomp his one foot while bending his knees up and down. He can now reach the tops of counters so we have to push things away from the edge and I can no longer close the fridge with him under the door (we have a bottom freezer fridge).



I go on holidays in a week, starting on a Wed and come back on a Wed. We have lots of appointments to attend and I'm hoping to get some stuff done around the house. I am waiting for a email from a day home to confirm our acceptance, it's like waiting for the phone call from the job you really want! The anticipation is killin me! Our regular plan with Jacob isn't working out very well and the sitter we were hoping to use (MIL) keeps cancelling making it very hard for hubby to get any work done and make any money!? I am hoping to get in this day home so that we can have more of a schedule that is predictable without causing any tension in the family. The only crappy part is that all the extra money I am making now that I'm back at work is going to go towards daycare instead of bills so we are no farther ahead then when I was on mat. leave!? Some of the day homes I called were as much as $45 a day, which is simply ridiculous! The one I am trying to get in is a friend and is only going to charge us $25 a day, which still sucks cause that money could pay off bills but we really have no choice.
