Life is a rollercoaster...

So things have been kind of topsy turvy in the last few weeks. Forgive me if I jump all over the place tonight.

The minivan - the letter of employment I was promised fell through. So I tried a bunch of different ways, and didn't get one by the end of last week, so I went and got my deposit back from the dealership. On Tuesday, Glen, the girls and I were at one of our fave restaurants, and the manager there said she'd help me out. So I got the letter late Thursday night, and emailed it direct to the dealership. They sent it to the bank, and I'm still waiting to hear back from them. I'm so nervous because the dealership updated the van listing to "Deal Pending" and haven't gotten back to me, so I don't know if that's MY deal, or if someone else is buying it.... I'm going to cry if we don't get it.

The lease - our landlord's giving us the option of going lease, month to month or no lease at all, and we've been debating it ever since. I don't think we've come to a decision yet.

Glen's been laid off for over a week. It sucks. He needs to find another job. Not just that - my mat leave's been cut off, thanks to the gov't saying I checked off some box I never would have checked. They say they're fixing it, but we'll see in a few weeks. Ugh.

Dad's not been doing too great. Lots of dental surgery's been keeping him pretty low, so the transfusions aren't really doing anything for him.

The last week's been pretty different for us, too... we got called out to do a computer repair job on Monday night. Glen, Emily and I were out at their place from just after 8pm until 7am!! It's times like that that I'm glad Em's breastfed. No worrying about not having bottles on hand or anything. Mom took care of McKenzie for us. Well, Glen didn't finish the job... so we ended up going back Wednesday AND Thursday nights, and were out until around 2am both nights. It's been a very tiring week.. What's worse is that we had McKenzie with us on Thursday night. We made friends with the family whose computer we fixed, so we went back last night for a couple hours just to hang out. They're really nice people, and she has a couple boys, who are 3 and 6. It's nice to have another Mommy friend.
