Windham Family Update

Today was probably one of the worst mornings that I have had in a long while! I stubbed my toe last night and woke up to it hurting and all black and blue so that means that I probably broke it. I checked my bank account to see if my reimbursement check had come in through my school only to find that my house note came out of my account really early so I ended up being -58 dollars. So then I had to borrow money from my mother-in-law. Christopher had the day off from work today so I ended up leaving Lilly with him while I went all the way across town to my mother-in-law's house to get a blank check to fill it out. I got the check and went to the bank's drive through service to deposit the check into our bank account. When I sent the check through to the teller, she said that the signature looked funny and that she had to verify it with my mother in law while she was at work. That took FOREVER!!!! That will be the last time I try to forge my mother-in-laws signature. What's stupid about it is that I had done it before and the same exact lady didn't have a problem with it! When everything was done, I gave Christopher a call only to find out that Lilly had been crying pretty much since I left. This made me really anxious to get home. From the bank to my house it usually takes about 5 or 6 minutes. Today it took me about 15 because I was stuck behind a person going 10 miles under the speed limit the WHOLE way. Needless to say I got a little bit of road rage! I didn't to anything to act on it, but I was about a tick away from flippin' the bird. I'm glad that I didn't though. I got to in front of my house only to discover that there was nothing in the mail box and then parked in the garage and ran into my house. I got to my bedroom and there was Christopher and Lilly. Lilly was asleep and Christopher was on the computer. All was well.
THEN,, Christopher got up to take a bath/shower (his morning ritual) and he got mad at me because I couldn't tell him exactly where his pillowcase was for his bath pillow that I had washed because it was so nasty, it smelled like mildew. I was already upset about the whole bank issue and the car in front of me that I broke down in tears and held Lilly for about 10 minutes. Sometimes a girl just has to cry it all out to feel better.
On a different note,
my daughter Lilly is quite the pretty lady. Whenever I take her out I get at LEAST three compliments on how beautiful she is. Mostly she is a good baby. The only time she really cries is when she's trying to poop and when she is over tired. Although I think she has been going through another growth-spurt because she has been more fussy at night time which is when most children grow. She laughed in her sleep so loud today that I heard it across the room. I wish I had been standing over her bassinet with a camera on when it happened because by the time I got over to it, there was only a faint smile on her face. Speaking of her bassinet, it is almost too small for her. She is getting so long (maybe 23 inches now?) I wont measure her till she's two months old on the 6th of October though.
School has been going better than I anticipated it would so far. I'm taking all online classes at Panola Junior College and have four classes; Lifespan and development, First Aid, Psychology 101, and Nutrition and Diet. I have two A's and two B's so far. Mid-mester is on the 12th of October so I'm almost half-way done. Go me!!!! Reimbursement checks come in on the 30th this month, so I'm really excited for that! Christopher will get out of debt. (With the exception of student loans.)
My house has been undergoing some home improvement projects. The dining room had awful wallpaper so when my parents were over after Lilly was born we started to take it off so that we could paint. That was not such a good idea because it turned into such a big. huge project! We ended up having to re-drywall the whole dining room where the wallpaper had been because the people who put it on didn't to it correctly. They stuck their wallpaper right up against the drywall so when we were taking it off we ended up taking off some of the drywall too. Christopher just got done re-taping the floating tape and screwing in the rest of the screws to secure the drywall in place. Next he will re-Spackle the wall and then we will paint it, but not before we get the paint lightened by adding more white to it. We also decided to re-do the bathroom wall paper because it was ugly sea/ocean wall paper that I wasn't feeling. I will re-decorate it with my zebra-bathroom theme.
Christopher is not working for Citi Trends anymore either. The more and more he thought about it, and the more things that came up, he discovered that the only reason why he left Gordon's was because of the pay-raise. Needless to say that when the regional manager of the Zale's corporation called Christopher to be the manager of the Gordon's in Nacogdoches (the store where he previously worked at as a sales rep) he hopped on it because not only was it a pay raise from what Citi Trends was just at the base pay, he loves selling jewelry rather than catering to rude, mostly African American, lower economy people.) Not dissing the people who shopped there they were just rude! So now Christopher is back at Gordon's Jewelers and LOVES it. We already are getting his nice bonus pay which will help with our ever on-going home improvement projects and growing family.
Well, I think I've thought of everything that needs updating!
Write more later. :-)
