So, I've been meaning to update what it's like...being a waifuuu and stay at home lady.
Part of me is afraid I wont get tired of it.
Part of me feels guilty because maybe I SHOULD be productive THIS year...but I don't want to be.
Not in a working sense anyway.
I WILL be productive in a lot of other ways. :)

So a typical day consists of waking up with Doug, getting up to iron for him and make him coffee and breakfast if he feels like it. The first week, I stayed up even after he left but after that, I started going back to sleep. I mean, why not?
I'll sweep and pick up around the house, whatever is out of place, play with Jake a little and watch a movie. Just recently, like 3 days ago, I got internet again.
AT&T was the absolute most annoying thing to deal with...like, completely incompetent. Over a period of a week, I must have talked to 20 people or so and had to try to explain to each of them what was happening and that's because I wasn't even sure what was happening. It was something on THEIR end and even THEY didn't get it.

ANYWAY.
I find it interesting but the first week also, I feel like I saw some new issues arise between Doug and I that I hadn't experienced before. Obviously, he is tired and maybe stressed after work and maybe his mindset is still in teacher mode, but I felt a time or two the tension between trying to boss and suggest. It's really not a big deal because I'm so sure I was like that after work on my bad days...and we still talk about things. Like, in this case, I was sure to say, "I feel like you're talking to me like I'm one of your students.."
and he apologized and that was that. He hasn't done it again. We communicate well. It's a great thing.

I met the people that used to live here. A Suburban full of kids, a wife lady with the last name Rose and her husband man. He knocked on the door the other day to ask if he could check the mailbox for his mail. I said that was completely fine.. He also asked if I saw some of his other mail if I could drop it off at the neighbor's. I said yes, of course.. The other day, I saw the Suburban in the front yard again, with one of the many children busting their little hand in the mailbox. It immediately peeved me..slightly.
I went out and waved and tried to yell, "I gave your mail to the neighbor already. There's nothing in there that's yours. :)"
Isn't it unlawful or something to go thru someone's mail? I don't know.

Jake and Bird have been great in the new/old house.

Recently, I received a text from Paychek Plus telling me I had an amount given to me onto my card. It was a very nice sum of money. I freaked out and went to go look for that card and it turns out I didn't even have it anymore. I called them and they gave me a hard time about it. I called the next day and was smarter about it so they sent me a new card to my dad's house. I picked it up yesterday!

Our pastor neighbors brought us a big gift basket last Sunday! Doug and I were in our pjs all comfy and ugly looking and we opened the door and felt all silly. They were like, "oh, we're sorry to wake you." Today, this Sunday, we will go visit their church as a thank you. I have my reservations as to whether or not we will like it there, but we'll see! I actually feel like they've been very minimally judgmental (I've felt it from both the husband and wife-and by minimally, I mean, I have felt some judgment ) about Doug and I when they pry a little about us being married. Maybe it's my paranoia cause I want to be married and living together...or that was always MY plan. Whatever.

So this week finished up Doug's second week of school and my THIRD week of not working. It doesn't feel like it's been 3 weeks and quite honestly, I've been off on my days. I think that's normal. It's still great though. I hope to come back and update and say it's still been great.
