7 Weeks Old

hello......anyone home?

Emme turned 7 weeks old on Monday and we took the opportunity to visit my job and my friends on International Working Women's Day. (The holiday is really on the 8th, but since it was a Sunday it was celebrated Monday.) We had a fun time and then we headed home. We got home to find an awful buzzing sound coming from the furnace/laundry room. It turned out to be the motor for the downstairs heat which was not working. So after a call to the oil company and an argument with them, Paul was able to get the guy out here. He shows up as it was time for Emme to eat and she was not having it. He was arrogant and ended up leaving without doing anything except handing us a bill for driving here because our second zone is not covered by our heat company. How stupid. At least now I know what the problem is and it isn't an emergency. Paul can fix it hopefully this weekend. That night Emme decided she was going to bed at 3am instead of her normal bedtime. She still slept for 8 hours but not the 8 hours I was hoping for.

I don't want to get out!

Tuesday Emme survived her first subway ride. We went to Brooklyn to apply for my Master's plus 30. Basically I get a nice pay raise for having 30 credits past my Master's Degree but since you can't trust the BOE if it gets mailed I had to go in person. We visited Grammy J afterward because I left Tom and Jerry with Smartie and Abbie all day. Later that night Abbie was celebrating her birthday at doggie class so we made Abbie Cadabby treat boxes for the dogs at class. We got cookies for the humans. Emme had a good time at class visiting Poppa Mike and !!!!!! OMG Lauren finally was brave enough to hold Emme. She even got to walk her first course! I figured all this excitement would be enough to make her tired but she ended up not wanting to sleep again until the wee hours of the morning. She got her eight hours but it was exhausting getting her to sleep finally.

Talk to the hand cause I'm not tired

Today we are hanging out at home for most of the day and Paul gets Emme all to himself tonight since Jerry and I have class. Jerry hasn't done much agility since October because 1. I was very pregnant and 2. He needed to "mature" a bit. Hopefully this time off has helped him and he will be able to put sequencing and speed together and hopefully Emme will not drive her Daddy crazy.

Jerry is so silly
