The Olympics

I LOVE the Olympics and I'm thoroughly enjoying being home to watch them ALL day long. The amount of dedication these athletes have absolutely amazes me. So, GO TEAM USA! I'll be rooting for all of our athletes by a warm fire in my living room:)

Valentines Week

I'm really into tradition. I want Little Lady to know that from the time she was born she can count on us to do certain things. Valentines is no different. Even though she is only 8 months old we started our Valentines traditions.
We baked a homemade giant chocolate chip cookie:














We decorated:














We made "hand"made Valentines for Daddy, Grammy and Papa, Sissy, and Great Grandma:

Happy Valentines Day!

Update on the job!

Today is my third day at the part time job but my second day on the "floor". I've never worked retail so I wasn't sure what to expect. Well, its pretty fun and I do a lot of walking. I was shocked at the short bit of training I received before I was sent out to kind of be on my own but its not hard. The most difficult part is the store room and how high items are and since I'm super short I'm pretty sure the ladder is going to be my new best friend at work. Did I mention all the walking? I'm not an idle person so I circle my department as a way to pass the time when no one is shopping. And in all that walking I always find something new to look at, this store has ridiculously neat displays and the giant fish tanks aren't bad eye candy either.

Bad part of the job...I caught a shoplifter my first day but didn't know what to do so they got away! Are you kidding me, I quickly learned that my department has some hidy places that other departments don't have so people come to my department to hide the things they wish to steal...that could be interesting?!?!?!

Happy Birthday Jackson!

Happy 3rd birthday to our little Sponge Bob lovin' cousin! Hope you have a great day!

Part Time Job

Yesterday, was the first day at my new part time job. It will only be a few hours at night or possibly up to six during the day on the weekend. I've never worked retail before but I think I will be able to pick up on it and have a lot of fun at this store. I thought it would be very hard to be away from my Little Lady but I did fairly well, I didn't even cry on the two minute drive:) I did text Big A halfway through the night to check in, I just couldn't help myself.

On that note, let me give my hubs some big props, when I got home he had made dinner and rolls, fed Little Lady her dinner, given her a bath, and cleaned the jumperoo from last weeks tummy incident. GOOO Big A!

All in all I think that this is going to be a good experience for my family. I will be able to bring in some added income, I will be able to get a little more adult interaction, and Big A will have more one on one bonding time with Little Lady.

It's a new month!

Happy February!
