I suck at updating....oh well...I suppose this is more about being cathartic to type it all out than to keep all my bitchin' inside.

So current bitchin': Daegan's daycare....I *think* we might have a solution....he's been fighting with the other kids (1.5 yo)....and there is a biter in the class. He's been bitten 4 times in the past 2 weeks....and twice on the face. I really think the teacher isn't paying enough attention...or doesn't have control of the class. She's the same one who always complains about him being "difficult." I went to the director and we agreed to move Daegan to a different room. He's now with the older children...2 yo to 2.5 yo. And he really likes the teacher. I hope this is going to be a good move for him. I hate struggling with the SAH vs W issue. I've tried to convince my parents to come out here for a bit but it's not really feasible for them. I wish it were.

Other bitchin'....Russ' "reading." He bitches and moans about how behind he is and how much reading he has to do...."it's not fun reading, honey...it's work." And about how I never let him do it and I demand too much time....and that I shouldn't expect anything from him. Ugh...puh-lease. You chose medicine.....you chose this field knowing that it required work. If I had to give up a crap ton to move for your job, you can give up your free time to read....not our time. It just royally pisses me off when I see him spending an hour, two or even sometimes more on the internet, reading about cars, or politics or whatever. He thinks the solution is to stay at work longer....uh no. You already come home too late and interrupt putting Daegan to bed (barking dogs and all)....and the little boy needs his sleep! It also sucks to do dinner and bedtime routines completely alone. I think he should get up early and do it then......but he wants to leave the house to do it...so I have to plan my shower around his schedule. I'm incapable of showering when it's just me and Daegan at home....so to avoid getting up at the asscrack of dawn to shower before he "needs" to leave....I guess I get to shower at night before bed (yeah right...I crash when Daegan finally falls asleep)...or during my "me-time." Yeah, I finally have some "me-time!" Daegan's new nap schedule at school has him sleeping from 11:30 to 2:30 ish so I have some time between 12 when I finish work and 2:30 when I pick him up. I've been tanning a couple of times and I've watched a couple of DVDs....I've also tried to catch up on iMSN. I'm starting to depend on it. And the days that I don't get it are sucky!

Fortuna's wheel was kind to us on Thursday....a city water main broke and they closed the hospital clinics....Russ was off early...so we hit our fav sushi spot and gorged ourselves with yumminess! Her wheel spun back and Friday, all daycares/schools were closed, but hospital clinics were open....oh yeah and I had to work a full day b/c two other vets were out. No sitter, Daegan came to work with me. Thank god he's a good kid!! It was a slow day and I was able to wear him on my back for a good part of it. I was soo stressed out thinking that my coworkers were pissed.....but everyone was great and helped out when he got fussy.

But I'm not totally happy at this clinic. We'll see. I'm hanging in....the hours are good to me.

Maybe a bit later this week I can get some new pics online. The little duker's not so little anymore.
