So, I got my new phone and I love it. It's pink and wonderful and full of wonderful phone goodness. My last one wasn't bad either, but it was a little to bulky for my liking. Anyway, the past two days have been ok, I had a terrible migrane that finally went away today. No kidding, it hurt so bad that I was considering a trip to the ER. But, the ER here sucks ( at least the one near our house) and so I toughed it out. I meant to go to the dr.'s today, but by the time I woke up it was the office lunch time, and the doctor leaves for the day after that. Oh well, maybe tomorrow. Maybe not. My internal clock is so messed up thanks to Bobby's FTO shift this month. It also happened to coincide with Amelia's birth, but we'll blame Bobby's shift for now :). Anyway, I can't fall asleep until like 3 or 4 sometimes 5 and then I am sooooo tired all day long. I've been a little sick since Saturday so I've been sleeping as much as I can when Amelia is sleeping, but then I feel like I'm ignoring Katherine. So, I have decided that no matter what, tomorrow is going to be a Katherine day. We will go to the park, feed the ducks, have a picnic, do a little shopping (and run a few errands) and then top it off with a trip to the ice cream shop. Sounds fun!! Oh, I gave Katherine my old cell phone- it had all these videos that I couldn't transfer over to my mac. Anyway, one of the videos was of my little brother (13) putting his nipple on fire (crazy, I know). Katherine freaking loves that video. She watched it over and over and over and over again. It was really weird and cute at the same time. Oh yeah!! Big news! Hopefully, I will be able to start school during the spring quarter!! I am really excited. To be honest, I don't really want a job outside of the house, I love being a mom and housewife. But, I love school, I know I'm such a dork, and I miss the challenge of learning. Not that it was much of a challenge in high school and the first three semesters of college, but wow last time I went I had to drop out mid-semester b/c I couldn't take care of Katherine by myself, and work full time (Bobby was away for 5 months doing officer basic training with the army) it was way to much to handle. I really admire all the parents (esp. the single parents) that can work, go to school and raise their children with out neglecting any of their responsibilities, but I digress... Anyway, I'm going back to school YAY! Now I just need to figure out what I really want to be when I "grow up" which is one of the reasons I dropped out after my third semester.
Anyway, that's it. Goodnight!

I find that the night is when I really feel bad. Maybe it's the quiet, I don't really know. Bobby has been such a great help with all of this, but tonight is his first night with morning watch. It is going to be so hard going to bed with out him, or having him to talk to. I have a doctors appointment on Wednesday and after lunch hours I will try to find a therapist in my network. I hope it helps. 

So, I have completed most of the things on my "do or die" list. I even did stuff for Bobby. I picked up his badge holder, got the blue and black cop stickers for the cars (those things are expensive, by the way). I dropped off some stuff my friend, on the way to her house I was going to stop by work to see if i could pick up any more shifts. But, it was raining and I figured it would be easier to call later rather than to get K in and out of the car in the rain. Get this, as I was passing work the owner called and asked if i could start covering more shifts. I was like sure. I can't wait to get back into work. I know waiting tables isn't the most glamorous job in the world, but I really love the people I work with, plus I have worked there for over four years, so I know everything and I like making money. Before i got pregnant was working six to seven days a week. i had awesome regulars and not so awesome regulars (ie crazy stalker guy, and sausage pizza guy, who was ok, but he really liked to talk o matter how busy I was). Anyway, when I got pregnant I was always light headed and sick feeling, so I left work, but now I can go back. Sure, I know it's only for a few weeks, and then 6-8 weeks recovery, but I'm ready!! Oh, and have I mentioned that people use to tip me really well because I was just that awesome, but now I get even better tips for being awesome and pregnant?
