I have already bought stuff online. It's completely pitiful. When I had Russell, I had no party. I brought cake to his daycare, but I didn't have friends and family who would want a party at the time. I was so overwrought all the time with a sick baby, that a party was far beyond my scope. I made up for that later by having a couple parties for Bear with lots of his friends.

With Genny, though, my life is so different. She's constantly surrounded, as are Mike and I, with people who love her. (They also love Russell, but we didn't have that when Russell was 1.)

I went out last night to the mall, ostensibly to get our favorite shampoo, but I ended up in the Disney store and well, sheeee-it, if they didn't have a half off sale. I bought so many cute Pooh things, I think I could possibly be getting sick of Pooh and his friends, buuuuut, not quite yet.

And then there was the brief trip to Toys R Us to get Genny a phone, as she is queen of the phone. She wants Mommy's phone, her own phone and frankly, any phone she can get her grubby little hands on and she wants to talk to it all the time. She picks up one of her brother's old phones and says,"Hiya!" It's very cute.

However, it didn't stop with the purchase of a phone. They had one of these Little Tykes folding slides and Genny loves to slide, so we bought it. And they had a whole selection of Pooh party crap. Had to buy it.

And with slightly over a month left, my daycare person has informed me that she signed her son up for swim lessons and I have to be there by 520. And while, that's possible most of the time, it's not possible all the time and I simply told her I'd do the best I could. The thing that pisses me off the most is that she gives me no advanced warning of these changes and expects that I should just change my work schedule to suit her needs. I looked at her this morning and said,"You couldn't have waited for a month or so to sign your son up for swim lessons when we'll be out of here?" I guess I got told after I offered to write her a letter of recommendation. Mike said,"I guess there goes her letter of recommendation d:" Yeah, no shit.

I am paying for full-time care and not getting it.

I can't wait to move.

Can't wait.
