Been a while. Well, let's see.
The baby is huge! At his 4 month visit he weight 20 lbz, 12 oz, and he's 22.5 inches tall (or long, since he was laying down). eek He's on the tall end of the height chart, and completely blown past the weight chart. stare Mommy makes good stuff! xd
My husband's job: He loves the work (c'mon, it's a game store), but payroll is still f'd up. As of right now, he is owed 50 (!) hours in back pay. That happens to amount to a mortgage payment. stressed However, payday is tomorrow, so hopefully it will be straightened out. (My Mom had to pay our mortgage this month so we wouldn't get hit with late fees. Thanks, Mom!)
My father has asked us to consider me moving to Pittsfield (an hour drive) during the week to take care of my grandmother, since his work keeps him on the road most of those days. (Right now she's living with an aunt who works night shifts in a hospital, so that isn't working too well. This is an alternative to a nursing home she has no medical need for.) I'd trade off with my mother on the weekends, and get to come home. Right now she spends the work week here because she's taking care of her parents. xd This would go on until a) we find another solution, b) we all move up there permanently (which we want anyway), or c) Grandma dies (she is in her mid 80s). crying
Dad mentioned paying me, but honestly, I'd do it anyway. C'mon. It's my grandmother. If paying me to compensate for missing my husband makes them feel better, fine. I won't lie and say we don't need the money. It's just not a factor in my decision.
The hardest part is that this would require transferring our older son to a new school system more than 1/2 way through the year, and he just got transferred into this one when the school department rearranged all the districts in the city. sweatdrop
In all honesty, I think he could take his "finals" (he's in 2nd grade) now and ace them.
Other than that. Life is pretty boring here. How about you guys?
Oh, and we borrowed LEGO Star Wars for the GameCube. That game rawks! blaugh
