Happy St. Patrick's Day! Did you remember to wear green :)??
So, my dog still is missing, and I'm pretty sure that he's found a better home, although I still look at the Animal Control website every day to see if he's been picked up. I did get a cat, he's the sweetest kitty I've ever had or ever will have. He's 4 and his name is Jordan. He's an orange kitty with white toes and a white blaze on his nose. From day one in our house he's been my shadow and he sleeps right behind my legs at night. He makes me feel so much more calm. I've been depressed lately, Jon and I have been arguing non-stop over the dumbest things, and the not so dumb things too. But when I pet Jordan, or comb his fur, I feel so peaceful, and I think he knows that because he's always at my side.
On Monday I had blood tests done to figure out why I've been so tired, only get my period every 3 months and have been gaining weight and not losing it. They checked my thyroid and gave me a physical, so I should be getting the results back sometime soon. Hopefully I can get some answers, I don't even feel like myself anymore. Also on Monday I started the egg donation process once again. But I will possibly have to stop it if I find out that I have a problem with my thyroid and the couple I'm donating to do not want the eggs. I won't worry about it yet, the RE and I have already spoken about it and he seems ok with it so I will be too.
Joey and Josh are doing great, not much going on with them as of right now. On Friday Joey is going on a field trip to the zoo and I'm going along as a chaperone, so that should be lots of fun. We went to Chuck E. Cheese the other night and now Josh is OBSESSED with the place. He wanted nothing to do with the pizza but kept his eyes glued to the games. We played for about an hour on a bunch of toddler games then Chuck E. came out to interact with the kids and Josh had a heart attack and leaped into my arms and buried his face in my chest. He was TERRIFIED! So I had Joey go over to him and give Chuck E. a hug to show Josh it was alright. It took a bit, but he slowly realized that the guy wasn't going to murder him and gently petted the costume's arm. After that he kept one eye on the mouse and one eye on the games and was ok. When we got home he was constantly asking if we could go back because he missed the "mousie." He's such a silly kid.
One good thing though, Joey's father has finally started to pay child support again, it's been since NOVEMBER 2003 that he's gone without a job. He never would pay it either, except for the court order that takes it right out of his wages. But we'll see how long it lasts, he's wanted by Pima County for writing bad checks, so I'm sure that I should enjoy it while it lasts! I've been thinking a lot lately that I should just sever his rights and have Jon adopt Joey, but I'm also thinking that I should wait till Joey gets older and we can decide that together. I don't want to do something that will affect him without finding out what he wants and seeing what the best choice is.
To Charity---I'm so sorry for your loss and I know that you'll get through this. I'm thinking of you lots and hope that you'll let me know if you need ANYTHING!!
Till next time....Jenjen
