Jennifer's Diary Entries

Diary Navigation:

May 16, 2004

For updating, that is.....

Oh lord, and I thought Jon was a procrastinator....2 months since an entry, and I was one of the people that, as soon as I got the email saying I had a MT diary was like, oh yeah, I'll update every WEEK...

Although, to be fair, it's not like much has happened, or like anyone but me reads this, so it's ok that I take forever to update!

So, not much really has happened, we had a great Easter and a wonderful Mother's Day, and Jon's birthday was good too. We've started counseling, which has helped a lot, since we have issues with each other and our own issues that have nothing to do with each other but seem to be taken out on the other person all the time. I think his main issue is that I won't marry him, he thinks that I'm just waiting around till someone else comes along and everytime I don't give him my full attention he always wonders if there already is someone else. I'm not, and have never been an affectionate person. With the exception of my children, I don't really like to be all touchy feely or be cuddly with Jon or anyone I've been with, or even my family. And he views that as a punishment or something, like I'm denying him affection because of how I feel towards him, which isn't the case at all. And on the marriage thing, well, seeing my mom go through 2 failed marriages and knowing that for myself marriage means FOREVER!, I just can't do it right now. Or maybe ever. But Jon can't seem to get that just because I can't make that sort of legal leap, it doesn't mean that I'm not committed to him as if we were married.

Anyway, the egg donation was cancelled when I found out that I have hypothyroidism. Right now, instead of prescription meds, I've decided to try an herbal supplement called Thyax and hopefully it'll help. I was disappointed that the donation was cancelled, but it was their choice and I don't blame them for their decision.

My Little Ones...
In only 4 days Joey will be done with first grade and I am so glad that he won't be returning to his school. They are horrible, he wasn't learning a gosh darn thing that he didn't already learn in kindergarten. I'm started him in August with K12, and in Arizona it's AZVA, which is a charter school that is taught out of the home with teachers to consult with, but with me teaching Jojo the materials. K12 provides us with everything we need, including a computer, which is awesome, I'm just a little nervous that I won't be able to keep up with the amount of work they require, but we'll try it for this year and if it doesn't work out then we'll most likely have moved by then so we'll start him at a better school that will actually teach him instead of act like a playgroup and promote students to get rid of them even when the school knows that the student isn't ready for the next grade. Ok, enough of the ranting. When school lets out we're going to be so busy. Joey will be starting swim lessons and karate in June, Josh will be starting swim lessons at the end of this month and besides that all the usual stuff we always do in summer.

Ok well, that's about it for now, hopefully I'll have some more interesting stuff next time...Till then, Jenjen
