Positively moving forward

Quick update:

The science fair went well. I am not just monitoring to be sure everyone registers for the Regional fair, but that is not too bad.

I am almost done getting decorations together for the Sunday school, but by Sunday I have to take down and redecorate. It wouldn't have been so bad except I was snowed in yesterday.

Yesterday we didn't have school and everything was closed due to the Blizzard of 2011. I have so much snow piled on my yard from shovelling. I wish I could have played in the snow, but it too almost 2 hours to shovel out, with help from my mom and sister. I shoveled for 1.5 hours just on my driveway, then when I got to the bottom I had 3+ ft of snow packed down from the plough at the end of my driveway and all along my front sidewalk so I worked for a half an hour on that, and barely got anything done. I got overwhelmed and almost started crying so I called my mom and she and my sister came to help. We got it done in 20 minutes I had a 2 hour delay this morning due to the cold and probably 2 hour delay tomorrow as the temp at bus pick-up will be below zero without the wind chill.

Called the L this morning. She has heard nothing since Jan 6. They are going to call some time this week and send a letter. Then if nothing we will have to have a 4 way meeting. I don't understand why H won't get this done! I am not getting really frustrated because he won't do anythign to get this D over. He hasn't gotten car insurance. He hasn't done anything with his L. He hasn't even changed his address. He did the forward mail thing at the post office, but the 6 months is up and he hasn't changed his address at the companies, like the bank and work and credit card so now all that mail comes to me...again. I don't get it.

H had off today and you would think that since he wants to be more involved he would call and ask to have S today for the day, but he didn't. My mom called and asked, but I said no since she already had my two older nephews. I just don't get it. H has been better about checking in with S about twice a week, but when you have an extra day off and I don't wouldn't you want to have your kid extra? I just hate saying one thing and doing another.

Finally, S did spend the night when I had the science fair and did great. He did call me once during teh day and kept saying that he missed me, but was not sad. I think he understands taht he will get to see me again so it is not a problem. Plus he knew I was at work so he was ok with it. I don't know if he will be ok with it if he will be there and I am having fun, but he did well so I am happy

I am doing ok. I did get sad yesterday because I wished I had help. Everyone around me had one parent inside while the other shoveled or had two people to help, but I am alone and more and more feel I always will be because H is being a butt. I know this won't last and I am sure some of it is due to V-day coming up and our 12 year anniversary of dating on Feb 12. I know this will pass, but a little down. Plus with all the snow and the cold temps I am definitely getting the winter blues. Overall though, not bad, just normal down.
