Socially acceptable?

Today was my one and only opportunity to see White Christmas, the musical Colby has been playing drums for. Harper has been more fussy then usual lately but had been doing great most of the first act. Towards the beginning of the second act she was crying and I couldn't get her settled down so I took her out into the hallway. I found a bench to sit on, I thought a good distance from the doors, and started to feed her. Then a lady came and asked me to take it in the bathroom. I know some people have a problem or are uncomfortable with women who breastfeed in public but I am very comfortable with it. I have become accustom to it and I always use a blanket over everything. I was not hurting or disturbing anything. I thought it was ridiculous but went into the bathroom anyways. It seemed as though she didn't want me going back into the show. So Harper and I were in the bathroom and she tipped over and bonked her head. She started to cry so I took her into a stall in the bathroom and someone came and shut the door on us! I thought this was crazy. I felt like they were locking us into the bathroom and we couldn't go finish watching the play. I was upset, Colby was even more upset that I had to miss the ending. Apparently the lady apologized to him tonight along with the house manager but no one said anything to me. She told Colby she had me go into the bathroom because patrons had been complaining. But while she was making those patrons happy she seemed to forget that I was a patron too. It really made me not want to go back to any shows there. I have never felt more unwelcome because I had a child in my life.

I am so thankful this is the last night of the play. I am getting sick of being home alone at night! So we are officially into graduation week. I am so excited and so ready to be done with the semester and school all together. I am considering applying for the job of editor of the local paper. It would be only part time but I have heard it was a lot of work. It would be nice to bring in a little money if Colby doesn't get a police job right away. That also means he could keep his current job which would be great since he gets great benefits. I guess we will just have to wait and see. But right now I need to find some motivation to get this semester finished up. Hopefully I can do it!

Don't believe everything you read...

So the snow never came. They are predicting more snow for tomorrow but we will see. It is December already (oh my goodness!) and we haven't really had any snow. I am sure we will be getting some soon and I kind of home we do because it is super cold. If it is going to be this cold, below freezing cold, we should have something to show for it.

So this week has been super crazy. Colby is playing the drums for the theatre production of White Christmas. He has had practice or performances every night since Sunday. It seems like he is never home or at least at the same time I am. I figured out he is home, with me and Harper, for 8 hours a day including the time we are sleeping. He has been going into work at UPS at 3:20 am then goes to the office until I either go to class or start working. I then work while he is at home with Harper. I get home between 3-4:30 pm. He has to be back at the play at 6:30 and gets home from that around 10:30 and goes directly to bed because he to be up again in 4 hours! It is crazy. But after Sunday he will be done with the play. However, the craziness may continue. Since it is peak at UPS he is doing driver helper part of the time and when he doesn't do that he may be working nights along with the morning shift.

With all this craziness, I know December is hear and I can't believe it. Next weekend, the 11th, is graduation (super excited). Then we only have finals week and we are done with school. The next step is for one or both of us to get a full-time job. The weekend after finals weekend is Christmas already. Time is just moving so fast.

So yesterday Harper had her 4 month check-up. She is still not real big but hey that is ok. She is only in the 10th percentile but she is really healthy, happy and developing great. It seems as though her gaining weight is slow going and my losing weight is slow going. I am down 3 ish lbs this week. Which is great, just a little at a time. I am not working out as much as I should/could be but I am trying to work on that. I am really trying to watch my portion sizes and eating healthier but it takes a conscious effort on my part to do it but I really want to do it. I want to fit in my clothes. I want to look good. I want to be down before I get pregnant again. Colby is trying to help me. Some days are better then others but I know he wants me to be happy. I know he thinks I'm beautiful right now but I want to be able to look at a picture of myself and feel the same way. I am working on it though and I have a beautiful baby to show for it and I couldn't be happier about that.

Well life continues to be an adventure so stay tuned.
