Ok, work has been really boring lately. It’s annoying because I worked very hard on a few things that I thought were really good and useful. Now they are just sitting on the back burner. My colleague that I’ve been working with was hassling me about this stuff and pressuring me to get it done quickly. I get it done and what happens, nothing! No feedback, no good job, just ignoring. Working with this guy over the last few months, I’ve realized that he’s just an idiot who likes to boss people around, but has no idea what he is talking about. He will bug me for e-mails that I sent to him weeks ago and stuff that I copied him on. He can’t manage his e-mail box. I peaked at it once and there were almost 400 unopened e-mails! He makes more money than me yet he can’t keep his e-mail box organized….ok vent over. Luckily, I think he’s rolling off to work on other things and we have a new person on board who hopefully will listen to my ideas which prove to be right many times and we can have a better working relationship.

DH and I are headed to NYC this weekend to visit a friend K from college. I’m not sure I’m really excited about this that much. We are going on a Sex and the City bus tour and I’m dragging DH along. I feel bad because part of me wishes that I could just go solo on this trip, but I didn’t have the heart to ask him to stay home. He really doesn’t any friends in DC that aren’t associated with me. Of course all my friends love him and there are a mix of guys and girls so he doesn’t feel always with the girls. But I would feel bad leaving him home while I went to NYC for the weekend. My friend K loves DH and we all get along well, but since I’ve been married we rarely have time to get together just the two of us. But K will be busy one day so DH and I will have a day to go around the city by ourselves, which I love. I love the freedom that comes with us exploring the city, just the two of us.

DH is going to visit our first daycare center tomorrow. It’s a very popular daycare center and the price is decent. Amazingly, they have availabilities for when we need it. This should be interesting, because I’ve been the one researching daycares and calling up the places. I really wish I could go, but DH has off because of his schedule and I won’t have a weekday off for a few weeks. I figured he should just jump in headfirst to the process. Hopefully, this will encourage him to be more engaged. I do need to come up with a list of questions that he can ask. I hope that he will have a few questions to add to it. I really want to visit a few home centers in the next few weeks. I will have to make sure to do this on my next day off. It would be such a relief to decide on a daycare soon and have that locked down. It is such a nerve-racking decision. So far I’ve only looked at daycare centers and home centers. There are pluses and minuses to both and I can’t really decide which one I like. I hope the visits will help us tremendously with our decision.

Nursery furniture is stressing me out as well. FIL has offered us their crib for DH’s little baby brother since he has outgrown it. At first, I thought great. But lately I’ve been having second thoughts. I wish they could just send us a picture of the crib and we could find out the model number. I found out that it was second hand when they got it, which makes me even more hesitant. Also, we got a car seat from them, but everything I’ve read says it is not a good idea to get a used car seat. I have no idea what to look for in a good car seat, crib, nursery furniture. I don’t have any friends in the area who have babies who can help me out. I kind of wish someone would just make all these decisions for me….sigh. I think that I’m overthinking this whole things. DH and I need to make another trip to Babys R Us and maybe Target to start this whole Nursery shopping thing.
