• Getting sick, I think?

  Two days ago I had a fever blister pop up on my bottom lip. I hate it when that happens. I swear I feel them before they are visible and within three or four hours it was huge. I thought it was because of stress and whatnot, because I haven't felt sick at all lately. Well, today I wake up with my throat scratchy and now I am feeling rather flushed. Gah, I hope I am not getting sick. And if I am, I hope it is not going to last long or get too bad.

  School is starting back up this coming week. I am so excited! My brother will be back in school, and means the house will have one less person in it during the day. Plus I will be watching my three-year-old niece as well. I am excited to be watching her because it gives Sean a play buddy. And I'll be taking her to playdates with me.

  Tomorrow is going to be rather eventful. I have enough to make our rent payment (that was due on Friday, but my dad didn't get home before the banks closed, so I wasn't able to pay it) tomorrow and that is it. I am going to finish turning in all of my applications and cross my fingers that someone calls me back for an interview. I am hoping to get a job where I can work from 4 until whenever so I can still watch Madison (my neice) and Sean in the mornings.

  I have learned over the past few weeks that for me and Derek to work well together, I am the one who stays at home with the kid and keeps the house clean (which I am perfectly fine with, as long as he has a job or is helping out too), and he is the one to work. The past few weeks he has been kind of lazying around and it is annoying. I had a small talk with him telling him that if I was to get a job and come home to a dirty house, that I was going to be getting upset more often and there would probably be more fights. We have been doing pretty good since our last incident. I figured as soon as we get everything settled, where we have bills under control (because we still have quite a few bills that are due and no money), we will probably find a marriage counsellor so we can get some help. I think things have gotten under control and I don't think we need to see one, but just to be safe, I figure we probably should see one.

  Of course our day of no tv/no computer didn't work as I am on the computer. After me and Derek went to Kohls to get a few winter clothes for Sean, we came home and my Dad tossed in Stargate Atlantis and Derek was drawn to it. Goodness. Maybe those kinds of days will work better when I don't have four extra people living with us. Haha. That or I could just tell them we are having that kind of day, but I don't know how well that would go down since my mom kind of lives on her computer and my dad can't go without tv. *shrug*
