I KNEW IT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN

For several years now I have had the perfect job....six hours every other week.  In return I received my health insurance and maybe a few dollars in my bank account.  Fifteen of us were informed today that our services would no longer be needed after 10/10/11.  I haven't worried about what I would do when this happened because there was nothing I could do to stop it.  My main concern is health insurance.  Has anyone with pre-existing conditions ever tried to get a private policy?  If not, let me tell you it isn't easy.  Oh, there are such policies but they are quite costly.  I know of one individual who paid $1000 a month until his premium was reduced to $800.   I'm finding myself maybe worrying just a little about the what ifs.  There are way too many what ifs to mention.  Enough of this for now.

 

I also knew that Miles was going to turn one year old.  I'm not ready for him to be one.  Since I haven't been keeping him, I feel like I have missed so much. We had his party yesterday.  Even though it was way too hot, the party was held outside.  The lesson learned is not to always believe the future weather forecasts.  I think the decision was made by all who were involved in the planning that there would be no more outdoor parties in hot weather.  Tah-Tah did an outstanding job creating decorations for his baseball-theme party.  She is an awesome aunt.

This summer has been one of the hottest I can remember not just in a long time, but for ever.  Bailee and Miles haven't been able to play in their "park" at Gigi's much at all.  Before this week it was way too hot, now this week it is too wet.

 

Recently, Bailee and Gigi had a sleepover.  We really enjoyed ourselves.  I told her that this time it was just her staying at Gigi's and another time Miles could have a sleepover.  She replied, no I will stay with Miles too.  There have been times lately that Bailee has missed me. Like the time she said "Gigi, can I come to your house tomorrow?  I just miss you!"  or when she called this week and couldn't understand why my voicemail wasn't talking back to her.  When I did talk to her, she started crying and saying she just wants her Gigi.  What's a Gigi to do?  Go see her, of course!

 

The last time I picked Bailee and Miles up from daycare, they were very sweet on the way home.  Miles started to cry and Bailee says, "its ok, I'm here" and Miles stops crying!  From then on they played peek-a-boo the rest of the way home.  The laughter coming from the backseat of my car melted my heart.

 

By the way, Miles and Gigi did get to have a sleepover without Bailee.  I really enjoy spending time with him too!  Now if I can just get him to say Gigi!  Miles is getting to be such a big boy.  He has moved into the next room at daycare.  Lucky for him, Sadie was also moved.  I can't believe he will be one this month.

 

We were getting ready to go somewhere the other day and Bailee says, "Gigi, don't leave for out me!"  She has her own way of saying things, for sure.
