just bored and nothing better to do.

I love my work week now. I go for three five hour days and I have 3 second shifts. I only have one day where I have to be gone from morning to night. I have had more time to spend time with family and friends and getting to the YMCA on a regular basis.  The only thing that I would change if I could get away with it would have one less day shift but that's not likely.
It was a pretty good work week. I got my day time client out of the house twice this week. Once was just to go joy riding and the next day was to go to the doctor and then we went to lunch. She got a pretty good report from the doctor.

It was my day off. My friend Rachel gave me a Magic Bullet and we used it for the first time to make smothies. They were pretty good. I can't wait to try some other things in it. I love how it could be taken to work and I could make my client a little treat.

Friday, I brought my client a pizza from the store and cooked it. She always gets so excited when I do it and says it's better than take out. I don't mind doing stuff like that because without her I wouldn't have a paycheck. I know I would have other clients most likely since we have been doing well but it's still something little I can do to make our night better.

Tomorrow, I will probably go to the Y and then I think volunteering starts back up with MELD. That's why I need one more day off to rest. I will probably only go to MELD biweekly still because I just need my time again. I love what they do but they never took my advice on how to make the daycare a little less stressful at times. I think the Mom's should rotate being in the daycare as a volunteer to see how things go in a setting of taking care of multiple children. If they seen the effects of babies being dropped off without diapers or a bottle then maybe they could see how important it is to bring the babies in clean and dry and with everything they need.

It's been a while since I wrote on this blog. I have been staying pretty busy. Luckily, I did gain my Saturday morning back so what if I get a few bucks less each week. I just couldn't do the two 12 and longer shifts anymore. I am doing the one okay.

I been trying to go to the Y a few times a week. On most weeks, I make it work. I gave up walking around the tracks for the treadmills, elliptical and even the video bike.

It was Tyler's 12th birthday. I went out to lunch and got my nails done. I figure I should get presents too. Tad tried to steal his birthday but I wouldn't let him.

Tad did get his own birthday though. Well, this is kind of boring so enough for now.

Amiah is starting to talk more. She is getting her requests met more with words compared to a few months ago. She will say cheese if I get cheese. She knows where are fruit bowl is and loves to share fruit with me. She thinks every cat is named Bella. She loves our doggies.

I think the sweetest thing she says besides "mommmy"  is when she says "papa" Especially if we are out and about and he is ahead or behind us and she says "papa" in the most adorable way.

Tonight, I kind of wanted to go to the Y again, but I didn't want to go because I like to have my good size towel for my shower. Plus, I worked early today and wanted to stay home. I did feel like I really needed a walk and it was too dark for me to go.
Tad said, he would walk with me around the neighborhood with the dogs. So, I talked Tyler into coming with us and we walked about an half hour. It was just enough to satisfy my craving to walk.
Tad is so sweet like this though. He always tries to go out of his way to do the little things to keep me happy.

I got my nails and feet done on Sunday and we went out to John's. We hardly ever get to sit down to a meal on our own. Mostly, we have kids and when I come home in the evenings it's just too late to eat together. Then, Monday, I got my hair done. It's so short and thin compared to normal. I love how Tad encourages me to do things that make me happy. I love him so much.

I love tax refunds. It's like Christmas for the grown ups. Last year, we bought the new floor and this year our major thing was getting Tad and me a bed. It's going to be so nice to actually sleep together again. I hope Ann doesn't get hurt that she can't sleep with me. She is still my baby!

We were able to pay up all our bills. It feels nice to start fresh with them. Hopefully, we can stay on top of them for a while.

Tomorrow, I am getting a pedicure and a manicure at Walmart.  I haven't been back there since Ashley moved away. I hope it doesn't make me sad. I really miss her. She just got a new job being a nanny. I hope she likes it. I think she will be good with the kids.

I called into work cause I am sick.. I been fighting this illness for over a week but it just got worse. I ache from coughing so much. Tad has been really good and taking care of me. He is so sweet. I hope I can make it to babysitting but if I can't then they will survive without me. I figure right now I just need to rest and not run here and there. I hate getting smaller checks cause I miss work but I can't help it.

I wish I could just lay down and sleep but I am feeling kind of achy from laying around too much.

i am feeling a little bit worn down. i spent a good part of the day taking care of William seeing the dentist. He needs more work so it might be a while before I get my Friday back to hang out at home with Tad or go hang with friends. My long days at work are getting to me. I am happy I have a job but  I feel like it doesnt matter if I work or not I am going to be broke. At least I do have a great husband and pretty good children and a grand daughter. I cant believe she is almost two. She gives me a lot of joy. I wish I could take her shopping more.  Grandma would buy her lots of toys and pretty close if she could.

donations for meld

Its been quite a while since i donated anything to meld. Anyone up to making a donation to meld and i will put it to good use. I would love to create a diaper bag full of goodies for a new Mom to be. Its easy to donate just push the button on the right side of my blog to send funds.  No pressure. Did I mention I love shopping for baby stuff?

Last night, Tad and I had corned beef and cabbage for a late dinner!! It was yummy!! We stayed up pretty late hanging out. I love my days off from work. I get to spend more time with my family. I played UNO with Tyler and he beat me twice and I beat him twice. We let Tyler stay up till about 10 pm but then he had to go to bed. He tends to try to rise early even if he stays up late. Tad heard him popping bubble wrap when it was still dark out but made him go back to sleep. So, Tyler and I both slept till 10 am. William went to a friends house for the night so he wasn't here.
Right now, Will and Tyler are down stairs watching a movie. They get along a lot better now that they both are living with us. It adds a lot of work to Tad and me especially Tad cause he takes the early morning shifts to make sure William gets off to school. I sleep. I need plenty of sleep cause I can't take naps very easily plus I am working so sleeping on the job isn't good.
I got a new phone and I just love it. It's pretty cool. Hope everyone is doing well.
