Whew! Things have been a little busy around here the past few days. It feels like we are on the go almost constantly. We had a really good weekend. We bought Olivia her first car! I will take a picture of it and post it some time. Its really cute. Its a pink motorized Hot Wheels car. It has a pole on the back of the car so we can control it until she is able to push the "gas" button and drive it herself. We control the "gas" and the steering right now. It goes 2 mph!!! She LOVES it.

We also bought a new area rug for under our kitchen table. Its really pretty and I am happy with it. I have also painted our living room. Its almost complete, I still have two walls to paint and I need to pick out another color. I found some really pretty green toss pillows for our couch too. I can't wait until its complete.

Things at work are a little crazy right now. Its a long story, but basically Amy is in hot water with Dr. Williams. He comes to me and asks me things and I have to tell him what is going on. She is trying to push her work on me and I am fed up with it. The things she gives me are things that she should do herself. I have been too nice, until recently, and did it for her. I told Dr. Williams what was going on and he said if she can't handle the responsibility of her job then she needs to go somewhere else...YIKES! I really shouldn't be helping her with any of her work AT ALL, but I have been. So, things are going to be changing, to say the least. I didn't throw her under the bus, but Dr. Williams asked and I can't lie about things that are work related, especially when it comes to the care of patients. Today before I left he was going to talk to Amy about her job title. I made sure I left before the you know what hit the fan.

We have also been getting ready for our trip. I am excited and look forward to showing my mother in law how much Olivia has changed and how much she has missed out on...the past 5 months. I am a little upset with her because its been 5 MONTHS since she has seen her ONLY grandchild. She has no excuse. She is retired, she does volunteer work at the fairgrounds, but its not like she has to be there. Her mother passed away almost 2 years ago and she has no one to take care of. I don't understand why she doesn't make more of an effort to see her. She moaned and groaned for YEARS, even before we were married, for grandchildren. Now she has one and she never sees her. I guess its her loss, but it makes me angry. Its a lot easier for her to come here and visit because of our work schedules. Its not exactly convenient to pack up our entire house for a weekend to visit her. Unless of course we have an extended weekend, like this week.

So, we leave tomorrow. We are leaving our house around noon. I have been slowly packing up the car so its not so chaotic tomorrow. We should be at his mom's around 3 pm, then we are going to the store to pick up some food etc...Thursday we are going to Kalahari Waterpark all day, spending the night there and going to Cedar Point on Friday. Matt and I are going back to his mom's Friday night and my parents and sister are going back on Saturday. It will be a fun weekend. I'll catch ya'll on the flip side.
