Today was just a pretty standard day. Last night went about the same as the last few…each girl was up a couple times. I know it’s going to take some adjustment, and we just need to stick with it, but it gets hard. Last night I decided to take Amelia into our room to feed her…I kept thinking, if I’m sitting there in the rocker, feeding Amelia, and Olivia wakes up, that would HAVE to be pretty scary to see somebody sitting there in the dark. I was good though, and got up and put her back in her crib when she was done eating…YAY for not being so lazy! LOL
Work was work, just the usual. However, I did see something upsetting on the news this morning. A coupe of the state employee bills that I mentioned a while back passed the legislature…they want a 2 year pay freeze (again) for us, and want us paying more into our retirement and the state paying less. There is a chance the governor will veto these bills, but it sounds like the legislature might have enough votes on them to overrule his veto (so, it’s pretty much a guarantee these will be going into effect). Still waiting to hear on the healthcare bill though. And, it’s sounding more and more definite that we will be facing a shutdown this summer. It’s all so frustrating, and so overwhelming. We try not to really think about it, I mean, in the end there is nothing I can do to change it or stop these things from happening, but it’s scary. I mean, we have our house, two young kids, and we can’t afford for me to have all of these changes g into effect or for me to be off work without pay, let alone BOTH. I guess only time will tell what will happen though. Along those lines, Christian has still not heard anything about that job he applied for, so we’re not sure what’s going on there.
"Our" photographer contacted me yesterday. She has a mini-session special going on this weekend, and offered to photograph the girls for free as part of her special! YAY, of course I couldn't pass that up. So, I took a long lunch today and ran to get the girls’ Easter Dresses. You should have seen me in the store. I had three sets of dresses I was trying to decide between…I had each set laid out on the floor and seriously spent WAY TOO MUCH time trying to decide between them. In the end, I just picked my favorite one for Amelia, and a super cute white one to go with it for Olivia. Decisions, decisions.
After work we really just settled into the house for the night. Just the usual really. We were both pretty exhausted, so we just headed to bed as soon as the girls did. We’ll see how tonight’s sleep goes! Here is a picture of the girls hanging out in their cribs while we finished getting ready for bed…I’m guessing we’ll be walking into this scene quite often in the coming months!
