Relationship, kids and surprise Toronto trip! Sunday, January 12, 2014 in 2014

Go back to the last entry for a run down of my year in 2013. Go back on before that for important news on my relationship.

Relationship:

It got worse before it got better, we sorted out in the last week what we want and expect from each other. All I want from him, is during his spare time, help with the kids. Yesterday he took on another job to help a friend re frame the basement of a house, and insulate, move plumbing etc... So there goes his spare time. I don't even want to talk about it. Hoping everything gets better but I guess we wont know.

Kids:

Miley is finally starting to almost sleep the night again. Yes, shes 5. Since May/ June or so it seems, shes been struggling to go to bed, which shes still doing, but its getting better. Within the last couple weeks, since xmas break, shes decided to get up 2000 times a night. WHICH is exhausting and kind of like having a newborn around, but more annoying. Since shes started school again after the holiday's, its been pretty good though, only had 2 nights where shes gotten up. The one time she got up in the night, she slept at school she was so tired lol.

Yesterday one of my friends with a little girl Miley's age, shared an article on Facebook that I thought was brilliant, and if you have a strong willed child (defiant, difficult, stubborn) you should really have a look at this. I'm thinking its going to be helpful.

Evelyn is turning more and more into a monster by the day lol Shes getting saucy and bad. Its funny, for now.

ME:

Well I have a cold again. Because why not. My aunt informed me yesterday she purchased me plane tickets to go to a wedding fair in Toronto with my cousin! I'm pretty excited for that, but I'm busted ass broke. Christmas really set me back this year, plus Miley's 300$ birthday party! So I need to work my ass off. 1. I need spending money for Toronto, which is 2 weeks away! 2. I need to pay off my plane tickets and hotel for the Miley Cyrus concert I'm going to in March. Need more work! Ahh! Oh and not to mention, my braces. I should talk to my ortho about lowering my monthly payments a little bit. Until the spring anyway. Ain't nobody want pictures in 40 below weather!.
