Has anyone noticed gas prices? They rock! I may be showing how young I am right now, but I have never driven with gas prices this low before. . . it’s cool.
I have had such a fun week. I know that I just said in my last blog that I never have a girls night out, but the burtons were in town so I went out to dinner and a movie with them. We saw Changeling and it was probably one of the saddest movies ever, if you are a mom don’t go and see this. It was especially bad because it was James’ night with ty and so Ty wasn’t home for me to see him after the movie. I cant even imagine losing ty and then finding out that he might have been murdered and nobody helping me to find him. Holy smokes. Angelina Jolie did a great job though. Then on T-day I took Jake to see Twilight (again)! Then we had dinner at my grandma’s, it had to be one of the best t-days ever, it is usually really boring, but my grandma had a Wii and so my whole family played that for several hours, it was fun, but ty didn’t like other people playing. Then we went to the Rogers’ house and had dinner there too. Jakes family always goes around the table and says what they are thankful for, it is cute but it is so awkward! It’s like everyone is thankful for each other, which is obvious but if you don’t say it it’s like you don’t care about them, so everyone goes around and says the same thing. It is really nice though and I’m glad that they want to share that every year. On Friday I went shopping super early, I went to Kohls and I thought it opened at 5 but it opened at 4 so I was an hour late, because I was an hour late I stood in line for 45 minutes to check out! If you can picture Kohls, they have two check out things on either side of the store, well they two lines went all the way to the back of the store and met in the middle!! Ahh! And I dint have a cart or bag, so I held all my stuff, and my arms literally hurt for the next 2 days. Then I went to work and decorated our office, then went to get ty at school and went shopping with him! Then went shopping later that day with Jakey! Woot woot! On Saturday we went to the car show, it was fun, jake has never been there before but I love going so it was good, it was in the new civic center, they did a great job and had no problem spending as much of our tax dollars as they could.
Writing these blogs always make me think about how much I don’t have Tyler. I almost always write about things that I do when I don’t have ty because when I do have ty we like to stay home to spend time with each other, or we go to Chucky Cheese, and nobody wants to hear about that. So anyways, last week I calculated how much time I actually have Tyler and I had a reality check of how horrible our world is. I did the math based on hours he is awake because that is the time I have to teach him about the world and such…so ty spends 60% of his waking hours at day care, 24% with me and 16% with James. (Of course I would have him way more if I counted the time he slept) I thought that this was maybe because Ty splits his time between me and James, but even if we didn’t do that I would still only have him 40% of the time. Then I thought that maybe I work too much, but I work 40 hrs a week, that is completely normal. When I realized the amount of time that is passing where I could be out with Ty instead of working for money just so it could be thrown away to bills I swear I almost quit my job.
I wrote a bunch more, but decided I was venting too much. I just think society needs to put family above money and make it easier to stay home with your family the first couple years, and if they can’t or for some reason don’t want to then daycare needs to be cheaper, I mean I could pay for an apartment and utilities in that apartment with the amount of money I give the daycare.
