I have no idea whats been up the last few days (week and a half) but I know it isn't good. I started feeling iffy about a week ago, and since then i've advanced into a full on flu and I don't know where the hell it came from. Maddox and Aida have been staying with my parents, and the house hunting has slowed down somewhat while i've been out of commission but I finally feel well enough today to sit up and watch tv and obviously update this thing. Im anxious because my kids aren't here and Im not use to them being anywhere else, and Im sort of relaxed because I don't have Aida asking me questions every 10 minutes, or Maddox getting fussy. I think thats why Im always on my toes though and now..while they're away, I can't help but be fidgety because theres nothing to do. I don't want to get them sick though so im not just going to rush over and bring them back, especially Maddox. He's only a baby so he's more easily susceptible to catching a cold or something. In the meantime i've gotten an abundance of work done station wise, and I don't know why but, when you're sick you see every single detail of something and its much more clear in your mind. Maybe its because everything else is pushed back and all you have to focus on is not coughing violently or sneezing so hard you give yourself whiplash? At any rate, I've discovered a few insufficiencies in the files I have so..thats giving me something to do this afternoon. Hell, as I type this, im on hold waiting to be transferred to another area in the department. I don't know why though...I have every number so it probably would be just easier to call directly no? I suppose Im just more interested in this instead.
As for the kiddos, they've been awesome as usual. Maddox is getting more and more easily amused so now all i've got to do is say his name and poke his chin softly and he's all about the smiles and baby gurgles. At first, I was under the impression that this would be one helluva hard thing..balancing two kids and a job, not to mention searching for a house and keeping it all aligned so chaos doesn't ensue...and it was for the first 2 weeks or so there but now, its easy as sunday morning. Maddox has finally begun to sleep all the way through the night, and will actually sit in the swing that I bought without crying. I don't know if it was just the not being held since I held him every moment of the day when I first got him, or the motion (Which I don't think it was since now he loves it) but now he just lays in it and watches the world, before he's taken over by sleep. My ma claims he's just being picky like I use to. I didn't want to be laid down, and I didn't want to be in motion while laying down, but then I grew to love it. I could be why I always conk out right along side him whenever I watch him swinging back and forth. He's like a baby pendulum or something. Aida tried to make fun of me because it always happens, then the very first time she watches him swinging?..she passes out too. Snoring..slobber on the side of her mouth. The Works. THEN she got mad at me when I said she did the same thing! Seriously. You'd think that raising a girl from the time she was crawling up until now would give me some insight on the female psyche since i'm basically watching from childhood on and my only experience from the past has been with grown people but..im just as confused as ever. Its funny when its the boys and men doing it, but point it out that they do it too and its world war 3. I just think she was mad because she slobbers in her sleep. I know now not to mention that again.
I think im really going to miss this building though when we move out of it though. The Valet that'll bring my car up and around from the parking garage if I don't wanna go down and get my car myself, which I usually don't with the kids with me, or the little shopping stuff down in the lobby so I don't have to leave the building to pick up a few things. Im gonna get use to it though. We'll have more space to work with, and a room where Maddox'll have his nursery and I can get my office separated from my own bedroom space. The house I decided on is perfect. Its a whole different one from the ones i'd chosen before but Its got everything I was looking for in a home. 4 Bedrooms, 3 1/2 baths, Private driveway, Completely gated all the way around the premises which was something I liked the most for when Aida and Maddox both start playing outside, and a big garage for my cars as well as all the tools and other stuff i've got in storage. Aida'll be able to get a bike and ride it without having to worry about Traffic since its on a Cul De Sac, and 2 other agents i'll be working with live one house down and right across the street. ITs a good 10-15 minutes from Aidas new school, though it is 5 minutes or so from the Hawthorne Elementary Scholastic Academy. I found out about it when I signed the papers and a day later I got a phone call from The schools principal and Recruitment director saying how they'd been informed that an officer was moving into the neighborhood with children as well, and they'd be honored for me to take a walk through and see if I like what I see..so I did, and I did like what I saw. Aidas grades are definately good enough for the school. I know she'd like it because there are tons of classes dedicated to specific fields like Dance and art, as well as music, but still. She'd have to make friends all over again as one usually has to when moving to a new school but that wouldn't be too much of a problem though considering how friendly she is naturally .I don't know. Im gonna have to talk to her about it and show her the recruitment packet they sent over. You'd think it was the best school in the nation considering the recruitment pack came in this..metal..10X16 box, with a lock on it and a key I had to pick up at the post office. Is that FBI-esque or what?..Im going to look into this school a bit more on a more quieted level and see if theres anything suspect going on before I show Aida the packet.
I should probably get off of here and start arranging moving people and stuff, and see if I can get nessa on the line for a little heavy duty babysitting in the next few weeks ahead before the move. Can't move furniture and stuff with the kids around right? Thats how injuries happen. Anyway. I'll leave this entry with a photo of our new residence out in Cali.
