Okay. I'm lame. I started my new job on Monday, and I can honestly say that I truly enjoy it. I'm a little concerned about the functions of the system, but not overly so. I know I'll "get it" in good time. I was BORN for customer service! Tee hee! Seriously though, I'm really good on the phone, and I'm really good at talking to people, so I've no concerns about that.
I will say that starting my job was like a huge sigh of relief. When you have children to care for, it's always in the back of your mind that they need things. It's like some unwritten law that says you need to take responsibility and do your best to take care of them. I guess in some sense I felt like a loser for losing my job, but I know now that it was God's will that I lose that job. Maybe He wanted me to accept my new job. I wouldn't have it now otherwise. I feel more confident in myself that I'm able to once again help my husband provide for our children. It's scary to not really be sure if you'll be able to buy groceries, and I honestly don't want to go through that ever again. It was definitely a lesson that I learned, and I have gained a new humility, so I'm grateful for the test, and still very relieved to be able to be me again.
This weekend we BBQ'd. I LOVE when Brian BBQ's. He makes the best home made marinade and sauce...it's super yummy. I ate myself silly!
I hung out with some friends on Friday night. I can honestly say that I haven't had that much fun since New Year's. It was nice to be with friends, not concerned with anything but chatting and having a good time. I'm so blessed that I have some really truly wonderful friends.
My sister went on vacation for the first time since becoming a mom. She took her kids to Sea World and the River Walk in San Antonio. I am truly pleased with this because my sister is very strict on herself and her kids, and rarely has time for "fun". She's not bad in any way, don't mis read this. She's simply GOT to be strict b/c she does it all on her own. She works full time and has a part time job, and goes to school non stop, all while raising two very well adjusted, good kids, and paying her bills. No, she doesn't get child support. Unfortunately, the system isn't as great as one would think. They don't even have consequences for the "dads" that don't pay their support. Well, I guess they do, like a threatening letter to have a driver's license revoked is really going to put the fear of God into those men who simply don't care? Anyway, I couldn't be more proud of her. She's been through more than she cares to admit, yet she's still busting her butt and coming out on top. Now that is perseverance!
Tooth Tunes...I'm simply in love with these toothbrushes for kids. They play music while the kids properly brush their teeth. My kids actually WANT to brush their teeth with these things! Logan's favorite is the Smashmouth song, Allstar...and Kylee is currently jamming to Kelly Clarkson's, Walk Away. These things are really neat, and perfectly time how long they need to brush, and the song only plays as long as you're applying the appropriate amount of pressure while brushing. I highly recommend these to anyone with kids who are leery of brushing their teeth, or ones who simply battle the tooth brushing time.
Okay...that's my ten cents. Adios!
