Letting Go!

Edits in BoldSince I have added this new job my life has gotten very hectic. So, the time has come to let a few things go! There are three items currently on the chopping block.

Item one: I've been doing few six, and the people I've been doing it for are going to be very disappointed to be given it back. I will no longer be finding babysitters for the women's ministry. So, I'm so sorry for those of you who teach those classes, and will be picking up the slack. Teaching a class is already a time counsuming job in itself.

Item two: I've been doing for two years, and quit frankly not doing a great job but no one else wants the job. Arthur and I will not longer be our Sepherding Group leaders. September will be our last time to organize the group.

Item three: This one benefits me probably more than the owner, but I may be going to. I probably will not be working working dittos. This one is a little harder to give up for me, and I haven't decided. The will probably be someone waiting to fill my shoes, but I really enjoy this. While the other I dreaded telling other people, I don't really want to give this one up.

I would tell you what the item were, except those people who are going to be greatly disappointed don't know yet. Reading my blog might not be the best way to find out.

So send up a little pray for me that I am brave enough to follow it all the way threw.

Back to School!

Yesterday morning the girls lonaded up their backpacks and headed off to school. They were very excited, and both had a great day. Ally has a four new students in her class, so she has some new friends to get to know. Samantha's best friends wasn't planning on returning, but at the last minute did. Her whole year has been salvaged.

While it was the girls first day of school it was Kase's first day to stay with the babysitter without the girls. We left a very sad little boy, wearing his backpack at the door. The sitter assured me that sad face did not last long.

On the Go!

We have had a really busy weekend. Friday we drove to Early for one of my good friends weddings. We had a good time seeing all our friends. We got home really late about 11:30. We got up and on our way to Dallas the next morning for my brothers baby shower. (Their little one is due in October) We had a fun time with cousin Jaycie. Kase had a great time at the shower, can't you tell in this picture that he's having fun at a baby shower?


On Sunday we were up and at church by 7:00 a.m. The good news is that Mimi and Pa met us for lunch and stayed around for a couple of day. The took all the kidos to Frontier Texas and then to lunch at Chuckie Cheese, while I was at work. There were some sad faces when Mimi and Pa loaded up and headed back to Colorado.


Today we headed to the pool for our last day for freedom. The girls go back to school tomorrow for the year. The back backs are ready and clothes being picked out. Although we had an extra couple of week it seems like the summer just flew by.

New Job

Lot's of people have been asking how my new job is going, so I thought I'd give an update. I've, officially been working for a month, and I AM STILL TRAINING. It's hard to get and idea of what the real job will be like just yet. The group I work for goes on visit with children in their homes and I have to observe 15 hours of these. The problem is I have to get with the 6 coordinators find out when there visits are then find a sitter for the kids. Since I'm not in the office everyday, I at the mercy of email and hoping they check theirs in time to give me notice. I also still have driver training, first aid, and infant CPR to attend........ So, all that to say I'm still training and will let you know how the job is going when I actually start it.

I want spikey!

Kase now has an opinion about his hair. He has woken up 3 days this last week saying "I want spikey." He is referring to his hair. This was on Sunday morning, and I think all the attention he got from it at church got him wanting it all the time. All those sweet little old ladies telling him how cute he is went to his "spikey" head. The problem is it's already getting a little longs for "spikey."

Tooth Fairy Fun!

The tooth fairy has had a busy week at our house. Samantha lost her very first tooth! She has been waiting forever to get a loose tooth. She was so excited to put her tooth under her pillow.

Ally lost her top tooth. She has a big gaping hole in the front. The one right next to it is loose, so that gap might get even bigger.

Exercise Your Brain!

I have recently been reading a book that encourages moms to exercise their brains. While watching kids and taking care of your kids is hard work, it's not always deep brain stuff. I've had two jobs that I've had for several years, and I use my brain but it's more right brain things. It a lot easier to use the right side.

Well, I have a new job and it involves a lot of left side of the brain stuff It makes me tired. I think I'll like my new job, but it's been three weeks and I am STILL training. If I ever get to the real job I'll let you know if I like it.

On the bight side I got my first pay check, so that's always good.
