I spent a good hour this morning going through the clothes that I have put away because they don't fit. Why? Trying to find my classroom key. I have used it once, and it is missing. It isn't on my dresser or anywhere else really obvious, nor on / in my desk at school. I could only think that it must be in a pocket of pants I had worn to school at some point, one of the three times I actually carried the key around with me. There was no key in any of my pockets. It is also not in my cupboard, or floating loose in one of the bins with the clothes in it.
sigh.
Today I am home with the boy, who is refusing to nap for some reason, so we can't do anything involving leaving the yard. As soon as I put him in the car, he'll fall asleep, ruining my plans of browsing at Superstore or.. wherever. I haven't even gotten to read the flyers. We've been playing, watching movies, avoiding going outside because he won't put clothes on and jammies aren't THAT warm. You know, fun stuff. The Man has gone to visit with some friends and drink some beer and do otherwise manly things.
Hang on. The boy is upstairs calling "where my soother is?", so maybe it's naptime. Cross your fingers for me.
We'll see how long this lasts.
Anyway, so if anybody wants to come over for a hoppin partay tonight, stop on by. The man just called to let me know that I do not need new struts as the car guys told me, but that they should be fine for another year. It pays to have friends who are mechanics. It's just a pain when they do not live in the same city as you do. I do need a new headlight assembly, but will look around at salvage places for that. $248! Imagine. I was quite surprised. The bulbs are only like $7, so I wasn't expecting the holder to be so much. It's cracked, and there's condensation in it, and there was water, so they wouldn't even give me a new blinker bulb. I drilled a hole, a small one, to let the water out, and am planning to get a new bulb Wednesday when I get my winter tires on. They'll probably tell me again to get new struts and a new headlight assembly, and I will tell them no thanks! I like being able to say no thanks to $700 worth of repairs on my car. This bad girl will be paid off in April, just in time for the new arrival, which works out well since mat leave doesn't pay quite as well as working a regular job. Combined with not paying full-time daycare or traveling to work, I might actually not be broke the whole time. Sweet. I will likely try to hand the boy off a day a week or something though, just to have a break and maybe catch the baby movie at Empire. That thing rules.
I think the boy is sleeping. Bout time! He usually goes down about 10-11, so this is late. I'm going to shower and perhaps catch a nap myself. I'm getting a cold, and don't want it to mutate into anything nasty before I can get my flu shot on Wednesday. Was supposed to get it yesterday at work, but the nurse got lost / went to the wrong school, and then just decided to call it a day and will reschedule with us later. Nice. I'm knocked up and so get a free shot at my doctor's office, where I'll be anyway next week. It's a brilliant plan.
