It’s going to be a long week!

I had a hard time getting out of bed this morning. Especially since I know this week is going to be a super long one. I have a public meeting to go to on Saturday which is 3 hours away, which means I’ll need to leave the house at 5:30am at the latest. And I’m out late on Friday night at a Weird Al concert, so I’ll be lucky if I’m home before 1am. At least CT is driving to the concert so I can sleep on the way home! I’m not looking forward to Saturday since this is the project where we are proposing to expand a landfill and many people are opposed to the project and have hired lawyers, etc. Should be an interesting meeting. Hopefully I’ll be home by about 4pm and then I’ll likely have a nap.

We have no idea how this happened, but Oma passed her drivers license test with the MTO. We are still not giving her the keys back though. All along, mom made sure to remind Oma that regardless of what happens with her test with the MTO, the gerontologist still needs to give the okay for her to drive. My mom is out of town this week and she took Oma’s car to the airport, so at least we don’t have to worry about Oma driving this week. Oma’s appointment with the gerontologist is on August 19th, so we just have to hold her off until then.

My ‘date’ on Friday with Mary was good. I told her the good news and she is really excited. Her son is 5 and he’s adorable when Mary told him I’m going to have a baby, he said right away “How much babies?” Most likely one! He said he wanted me to have 10! Mary and I went out for seafood and then to see The Dark Knight, which was quite good. Really long, but it was definitely worth seeing.

As of today, I’m at 12 weeks. Yay! I am SO EXCITED for my appointment on Friday with the midwife! I’m really hoping we can hear the heartbeat at that appointment! Then I can finally tell my co-workers (along with the rest of the world!). I have been keeping this from them for almost 2 months now, and I just really want to tell them since I’ll feel so relieved when they know. I’ve been having some strange dreams about me telling my boss lately and he has had several reactions, some good, some not so good. I will be so glad to get that conversation over with! I will be telling him sometime next week.
