A Hubby missing in action


On Sunday Alan left for a week long business trip to Indiana for some training, sob, sob, sob. To make matters worst on last Thursday I was asked to give a talk in sacrament meeting this past Sunday, I told them Alan was going to be out of town, but they said they would just take me it went good though.
So far with some help from friends and family it hasn't been to bad. Alan is a great husband and dad and is always good about helping with Luke and the house, so to be with out him for a week is hard. Luke has been pretty good so far and its almost Wednesday so I think I can make it. Sunday night we went to the Wilson's for dinner, Monday was Aaron and Rebecca's and again tonight and I have plans for all the other nights too. I've been going to bed kind of late because I dread having to go to bed by my self, but I can't bring Luke in because he has been sleeping through the night in his own bed for almost a week, Yea. Oh, but Luke is sick, so I'm going to have to take him to see the doctor I think. I miss Alan.

USAA company picnic

On Saturday USAA had its annual company picnic for the IT department at a dude ranch. There was tones of food and lots of fun things to do and it was all free. I don't know how to spell the word, but you know those guys that draw the funny cartoon pictures of people well we got one of those done with all of us. Luke bounced around in one of those inflatable toys, at first he would only sit in front of the entrance, but after a few minutes he got up. We went on a hay ride, watched a rodeo with bull riding, Luke rode a pony and we stuffed our faces. We had a blast.

Another eventful week

No recovery of my Diamond. I was just at to many places that day too really have any clue of where or when I lost it, so if we don't get into a house next spring we might have to go get a new one. At least I will have the original band.

Wednesday night we went to a pre season Spurs game. Alan's neighbor at work has season tickets and couldn't go that night, so he offered them to Alan for about $35 dollars a ticket including free parking, which was an awesome price because these tickets, even though they were pre season, were worth $175 so we got a steel. We took Luke and had a great time, even though they lost. Has any buddy else notice a trend happening here any sports event we have been to lately the home team has lost the game, weird. Sorry no pics.

Late Friday night we went out to dinner with our friends the Wilson's to the Olive garden. It was good food and great company.

A no good, terrible, rotten, bad day

This is what yesterday was for me and its kind of cared over into day. I have been so frustrated with being a mom of a 2 year old boy. Please don't take this the wrong way because I love Luke and I'm excited I'm having another one, he just doesn't listen. It seems me and Alan have tried every form of discipline, but nothing works. Yesterday he was so bad I kind of can't blame because it was a long day.

I'm now at the point in my pregnancy where my appointments are every 2 weeks, I hate this. After my appointment I have come to realize I really don't like my doctor. He was really nice at first, but now it just seems like he doesn't care any more. I pay 2 dollars to park when I go to a doctors appointment just for him to just walk in say hi check the baby's heart beat, feel where the baby is positioned and tell me we'll see you in 2 weeks, that it he doesn't talk to me doesn't tell me how he thinks the pregnancy is going nothing. He has been doing this for ever so I'm probably like his 2000 patient or something, I still think he should take the time to talk to me, yesterday he told me it was time for my sugar test, handed me my folder and walked out, I was the one that had to inform the nurse so she could write up my lab request if I hadn't have said anything I don't think the test every would of been done. I'm going to say something next appointment. So after all this I had to go down to the lab where they inform me I would need to stay for an hour so they could do the test. I knew that it took an hour, but with Luke they gave me the nasty orange pop stuff to take home and then had me drink it an hour before my next appointment. This time I had to wait around the lab for a hour and this was when Luke went bonkers.

After the doctors I had to run to the Library and as I was driving I looked down at my hand and notice that the diamond on my wedding ring was missing but not only the diamond but the prongs that hold the diamond broke off. So I just started balling and still do whenever I look at my ring. I have no clue where it could be, but at least I still have the band and when we have more money we can get a new diamond put on the original band.
