Finally Got on!

I finally got on at Mom's. So of course it is going to be short, and no pictures. But that's not really different is it?

I had started writing this blog post at work, and it was a good one, but I failed to send it to myself so I could post it at home.

I just wanted to let you know I am still here. I am still alive. I hope to post more. I just can't seem to manage it. I am not very good at organizing my time at home yet.

Finally..... well almost

I am finally off of a Saturday schedule and in a Monday- Friday 8-430 schedule. Only problem is to find a replacement for me they will require that I finish working on Saturday for a couple weeks. It is going to be hard to do my job that way since The people I work with will be emailing on Monday and I won't be able to do anything about it until Tuesday. Which means More work piles up. And then when I work On Saturday nobody is going to get my emails until Monday. Oh well. Hopefully it won't be too hard. I have my new desk, and I was trained for 2 days. Hopefully that is enough time. I have the feeling I am going to be asking a lot of questions though. I am going to enjoy my new work a lot more then my last work.

Caleb came home form school sick yesterday. Throwing up and a slight fever. We are trying to keep him away from Lizzie and everyone so no one else catches it. Hopefully it goes away fast. The school would not let him come back for 2 days. Poor Caleb! lol

We go to the fair on Monday! I am sooo excited. I started planning and have lots of things I want to do. We are going to take everyone, and I hope we can stay long enough for us to do everything we want. We are going to bring the wagon/ or a stroller if we can find ours. And I want to pack our lunch, and then just buy snacks. we will see how that works out though.

Lizzie is still fine. She misses Eric and I during the day. She is growing and learning more and more.

Eric is still teaching and loving his job.

We went to the temple last night. It was great! We stopped by the book store and got some more activity books, and then we ate Indian. It was good but a little expensive. We left directly after work, and then by the time we got home, Caleb was in bed, and it was time for us to go to bed too, so I hardly got to see the kids at all.

I am planning hard for Caleb's party. We are doing Indiana Jones theme adventure party. We are making snakes for the snake pit, and personalizing our Hats and whips that I made. Then they are going to use those hats and whips to go through he obstacle course. First enemies, then swing across a ridge on a whip swing (Prehung and tested of course), then they have to feel inside of a rock filled with insects (Spaghetti) to find the key to the treasure chest. After the they have to find a way through the snake pit with their torches (Fake of course, and made by me), and then they have to dodge the rolling rock. Finally they have to use the key to open the lock on the treasure chest after they have dug it up out of our little sand pit. I think it all sounds like sooo much fun. And sooo exhausting!

I am making our own pinata too, and then the cake of course!

I will take lots of pictures. don't' worry!

Life

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 have to go finish making my bagels!

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!
