Happy Birthday to me

So now I am 26. It doesn't feel any different from 25. I guess that it never really feels different. We have had an interesting week. We helped a neighbor find her daughter. I am not going to go into detail though because it is private. All I will say is that we found her and thankfully she is okay. I am glad for that. Matty is finally over his cold. And now he is back to his bouncy, silly self. He does have some anxiety now though. He won't go to people other than Mommy or Daddy very well. And sometimes he won't even go to Daddy. He is SO attached to me! I don't mind most of the time, but sometimes I wish that I could have a break. I feel bad having James take him since he is working nights and long hours. But I have to have his help. Our house still is not set up. I don't have paint on the walls or a crib for the baby since they broke his or even a place to put the computer. It is very very irritating. Hopefully it will all get done soon. My mother in law is coming the first week of November. She will be our first houseguest. I am really trying to get everything done before she gets here. Well, the baby is fussing so I need to stop here. Oh, and no, I didn't do anything for my birthday. Why? Because it doesn't matter.

Just another day in paradise

Hawaii can be so frustrating! It seems like every time you go to buy something that you really need, they don't have it. Or they can't get it. We have been trying to find a desk with drawers that doesn't cost $300. You would think that this would be fairly simple. Not here. They are either out of stock or non-existent. And we have been looking into adopting a greyhound or whippet. HA! The only animals that they really have here are pitbulls and pitbull mixes. This place is so irritating. Oh well. Every place new has it's quirks. I'll get used to it. I hate complaining, I just feel so annoyed. James and I are settling in though. We have met some really great people and the house is slowly becoming a home. I am finally starting to get it decorated. Since Matty's cough is getting better, I am hoping to take him to the play group on Wednesday. I need to start socializing him whether I am ready to or not. I don't want to stunt his social skills. Besides, it would be nice to meet some other mommies. James and I are doing great. I love his days off, even if we don't do anything. Just getting the chance to hang out is wonderful. Right now, we are trying to figure out what our next step after Hawaii is. We have to plan ahead. I think that we may try to head back to the east coast. I am unbelievably homesick. We are going to look into both of us going back to school next week. Online school for me and maybe for him too. I think that I am going to get my degree in English. Or maybe Education. Whichever I can do online since I need to be able to be at home. I am considering trying to find a VERY RESPONSIBLE babysitter if I have to take actual classroom classes. Besides, James and I need some date nights every once in awhile. Right now we are enjoying our late evening, baby's in bed time together. I am very blessed to have such a wonderful husband. Especially when I consider where my life could have been. I love James so much. And we have the most precious little boy. Well, it is lunchtime and I am starving! So that's it for now.
