Spring Updates

The weather is teasing us. Cold, snowy and then wet, rainy and then MAYBE a peek of sunshine? Gah! I am so ready for warmer weather and sunshine.

Work is still going great. I start on Monday working with kids. Love that!

Billy gets home before me everyday and gets the mail. Not loving that. I have no idea what we got or where it is. Good thing all our bills are done online. :D 

We got spring pictures from the school today. They turned out great. And I really love the new "family plan". When I pay for two packages the rest of my kid's pictures are free. Woooohoooo! So instead of 200.00 I only spent 80.00. Works for me.

I had to get a TB shot for work today. Why do those always make my whole arm hurt?

A very good friend sent me "Just Dance" for the wii. OMG it is a riot to watch and participate in. You have to do some funky dance moves. And lets just say we are not exactly the most coordinated family. But it is sooooo much fun! (Thanks Lori!)

11 year olds should be able to operate a dishwasher right? So maybe I need to explain to mine about scraping the dishes before putting them in the dishwasher? I opened it yesterday to find about half a pan of VERY CLEAN mac and cheese in the bottom.  Gross!

Becca and Megan successfully completed their very first science fair last night. They did pretty good on their projects but neither of them got an award. Next year!

Adjustment Ramblings

Why is it switching back to a work routine is so draining? It has been almost two weeks and I am finally feeling a bit more like myself. I still come home tired some days but it is not a headache-need-a-nap type of tired now.

I am loving my job. It is awesome to get to go everyday. I am still somewhat in the training phase but I am excited to get in there and start doing what I was hired to do. Hopefully after next week that is what I will be doing.

We have had a pretty healthy winter thus far but Megan was down for the count on Monday. Thankfully Billy was able to stay home with her. Being a working Mom definitely comes with many different challenges.

Becca is getting an introduction to high school this week. She has been working on a group project and is having trouble getting her "group" to do their parts. She has been up late almost all week. Maybe this will cure her of her tendency to procrastinate. I can hope anyway. :D

And this ends the most boring post on earth. But hey I posted right? ;) 

Back To Work

I am back at work. So far all we have been doing is training but I am excited to get started.

Not Quite the Reception I Was Hoping For

Yesterday I sat Cassie and Marea down to have "the talk".

They are 10 and 11 so it won't be too long before they need to know this stuff.

I had a handful of girl stuff and two books I bought before I had "the talk" with Becca and Megan.

Cassie walked into my room, sees the stuff in my hand,  grins at me and says, "Megan said you were going to do this someday!"

I smiled and said, "Megan didn't like this talk much eh?"

Cassie shrugs her shoulders and says, "I don't know she just said you were going to do this to us too."

I wasn't aware I was "doing" anything to anyone.  I guess it is all how you look at it. In Megan's case it must have involved some torture and pain. ;) I had hoped I was educating them about their bodies before they get hit from out of nowhere.

Thank goodness I am running out of girls to "talk" to.
