It's been a while. I have been filling up my days to try and get more out of my day and develop a better work ethic.
Life has been just that life. what to say.... what to say.....
trying to plan caleb's birthday.
Lizzie has a few more teeth. Some in the back to, but she is just sooo happy all the time.

I am surviving
I am just barely surviving.
Caleb loves school which I am sooooo grateful for! I think recess helps a lot to help calm him down in the classroom. Caleb did liek to ride the bus until it was late both days he rode it and now he does not like all the yelling on the bus. I think we are going to stick with it for a little while longer till the bus gets to a normal schedule.
Lizzie loves shoes and music. We had her 1st birthday party on Sunday/ I made a lady bug cake and a leaf shaped cake. It was cute for me and a first time but I could have done better if I had had more time. Of course not because I work, I had to go school clothes shopping, and then have beckys shower all week before the party.
Eric like his classes and teaching. He is in his element now. He got his first check and we had to get new phones. The old ones were broken beyond repair and still had Ohio numbers. So he go the palm pre. and I was goign to get one but I didn't want to pay 199 for a phone so I ended up going with the instinct. It is pretty cool!
I am still working, I am not drowning but I am not really flourishing either. I will just survive.
We are still trying to come up with doing something for our anniversary. No good ideas yet.

Sorry
It has been a long time!
A long time with really no free time.
A long time of working.
A long time of getting up early
A long time of missing out of the post kid tv time.
A long time of going to bed early.
A long time of only having 4 hours to spend quality time with both my kids.
A long time of not having time to clean the house.
A long time without my family, immediate and extended.
Just a loooong time. I am tired of working already! I am truly my mothers daughter because Working INTERFERES with my life style!
Not much else going on. I still haven't decided what exactly to do for lizzies first birthday. I think I have decided on a lady bug birthday cake with a second one in the shape of a leaf. I am truly inspired by Ace of Cakes. I Love that show!

Getting it together
Okay so I am still working on this whole working thing and trying to get it all in order! I definitely do NOT have enough time to do everything I want! It feels like I barely have enough time to spend with the kids before I have to go to bed! But I am thinking I will get used to it and be able to stay up a little later. I am currently used to more sleep and I always have needed more sleep then Eric to feel rested. I was going to get that looked at but I am still looking for a time and place and means to do that.
Okay so on to AAFES. I am a customer service associate. I answer the phones in the catalogue call center. So I Will be placing orders for people, checking status for orders placed already, changing orders, or shipping, or canceling orders, or any number of things that they might call in for.
Right now in training though we look at PowerPoint's, and talk about certain situations, watch these old movies with the phone doctor to make us better on the phone, and practice with someone else on how to order things.
It is training. what else can I say. I am tired, I got up early to straighten my hair. I got up early yesterday to make a trip to CVS before work before all the good deal supplies were gone. Still half of them were gone!
But I did make some good deals yesterday night. I got three crayons for three cents! WOOHOO! I am doing very well on my school supplies list and getting them for free or really cheap! Gotta go to work!
One last thing. Caleb can ride his bike or pedal down the hill of our driveway on his bike. I got pics, but no time to post them now. Lizzie almost turns one! And we almost hit our 7th anniversary!

Not tomorrow
So it is not tomorrow, and I have been to work for 3 days so far, so sue me for not posting! LOL
I like it so far, it is training.... what else can I say. I am learning a lot and I hope to be kind of good at it by the time training is over. In a week and a half I will start the on the job training portion..... actually helping real live customers. I am a little scared I have no idea what that would be like, but we did some of that kind of thing with a partner today so I am feeling a little better about it.
I was soooo late yesterday. I don't know what kind of accident it was or what but they were routing EVERYONE off the freeway and blocking off cross streets and using the on ramp as an off ramp for the cars still on the freeway. I did call in and tell them I would be late. That was my saving grace I guess.
But Not much else going on. I am going to bed early, and getting up early. And managing to fit in everything else in the 5 hours I have from when I get home till I go to bed. The personalities are starting to come out in the other employees and it is fun.
More updates later.
