Looking Forward to? I *think* our nursery furniture will be delivered this week.

Yesterday Saturday, we went out looking for a Christmas tree for the new house.  We first went to Hobby Lobby.  We ended up buying two lamps for baby girl's room.  They are both pink and very girly!  We also were at Home Depot where we finally bought the Christmas tree and we looked at paint samples, we brought some home.  So we shall see.  I would really like to have the room painted and furniture in place before January 1st.  If we wait much longer, then we get into my showers, birthing classes, hospital tours, etc. Jeff has quite a few days off planned, so he should be able to get these things done and still have plenty of relaxation time!

well, I just typed this all out and somehow it deleted.  I am too tired to redo it.

Baby Girl is doing good.

I am doing good.

I started a part time job on Monday.  It wiped me out today.  I am going to be busy, but I think I will like it.  Until I get used to getting up at 5:45, I am going to be exhausted.  Dinners this week are gonna suck...Trick or treat, yeah well, I gotta go buy the candy tomorrow!

My regular hours are 8-3 but today I worked until after 4 so I didn't get home until 5.  Like I said I think I will enjoy, just gotta get used to no afternoon nap...up early, super early!
