headaches and NO INJURIES

First off, and most important I would say, we did not manage to injure Jack yesterday. Of course, he was mostly strapped into his carseat while we ran various errands. This is a great way to prevent him from bashing his head or mouth into sharp things but it makes him a bit unhappy.

Got our storage unit rented. This is great because we got a climate controlled unit for less than a non-climate controlled unit. The woman was trying to tell us that this is because of the inconvenience of having to go into an additional building. This didn't make much sense, as climate controlled requires electrical costs to be covered, but whatever.

We also got new tires for Todd's car. These were much needed as the last time he got tires was when we first moved to MA, about 5 years ago. He also splurged and bought new gaming headphones so that he doesn't have to play his video games on silent anymore. However, I foresee this being a problem when I go to bed and he agrees to watch baby at night. We shall see how this works out. In return for agreeing to let him get these incredibly expensive headphones, he agreed that I can get an iPhone in March. YAY!

This week has been horribly stressful. I'm pretty sure I've been clenching my teeth the last few nights, which sucks because I got a bad tension headache. It started in my neck, jaw and ears and eventually worked its way up my head. It didn't progress into a full on migraine and I was able to sleep it off. However, it sucked because I missed going bowling with Brandon and Amy without babies. We will have to reschedule.

School is going okay, even bordering on good sometimes. I miss Jack terribly while I'm there and I don't know if I will ever get past my stage fright in my speech class despite my teacher's assurances that everyone eventually does. I am confident that I will be able to lord authority over 6 and 7 year olds without a problem, but my peers are a completely different matter. It's intimidating up there and I'm in a relatively small and supportive class. I just don't know how to get past the fact that people are looking at me and judging me. I don't want to say much negative here, but there is one person in my class that I cannot stand. The way this person presents themselves is ridiculous. Argumentative when given feedback and then corrects others for the same mistakes s/he makes. It's not very productive and I wish this person would simply keep his or her own opinions to themselves. However, despite this person, my classes are going well.

Our new ottoman should be shipping soon. I'm very excited for this. It's hugeness will be overwhelming for a while, but it's not a permanent fixture. As soon as Jack is able to walk without constantly falling over, the big coffee table will come back. I love it too much to get rid of it.
