kids in bed, dishes loaded and started, clothes washing and drying, scriptures read, prayers said...
::sigh::
but john is still at work (he got to open and close today (BOOOO)), dinner still didn't get cooked, toys still scattered all over the floor, vacuuming neglected for another day and i'm tired. it seems i'll never quite catch up with my to do list.
but i did get a chance to read with kathryn one of my favorite books that has minimal words, but instead of just reading, we really dissected all the pictures. that little girl is smart! as we read and laugh together i simply let go of all the worries and enjoy my little girl. suddenly, i don't care about all the toys on the floor or pots and pans that need to be cleaned, i am glad i can make her happy. and of course daniel is looking on wanting to be a part of it, so once we finish the book and kathryn takes off to get another one, he sits and places it on his lap as he sweeps through the pages, coming to rest on one...i begin to name what i see on the page, and he so cute, returns my answers... (da for dog, ba for bird, fa for frog) he knows so much more than i realize. it's hard to believe he's only almost 2...seems like he should be 3 or something...i forget he's not as old as i imagine.
i love my kids. i'm so glad i got to take time to enjoy them today.
i've had alot on my mind lately. lots of plans.
i got a job! i had been thinking about working where my BIL works, cuz the hours seemed suitable...and he randomly tells me they are hiring. so i apply thinkin, i'm never gonna get a chance, i haven't worked in years! i was shocked when they said they wanted to interview me...and then a drug test, and now i'm hired! WHOO HOO!
i started training today and we got to see first hand how and what we will be doing. i'm an employee of Frito-Lay (the largest snack food company in the world) and i'll be working as a Warehouse Picker. i pick individual bags to fill an order put them in totes and send the cart full of boxes to the loader to be put on the truck. it looks fun...but maybe that's cuz it's something new and different. lol. i'm only part-time, working 3 days a week from about 4pm til 1am or so. but you don't go home till all the orders are filled. the pay is great and it will allow us to get out of debt really soon!
i also have been thinking about school again. it's a desire for me to finish while i still have the chance, and so with the funds to help pay for school now (new job) i am going to go to BRCC tomorrow and see what i need to do to enroll for the fall. why delay? lol. we'll just have to see. if i go back to school, Daniel will need to be watched by someone and that's always the unknown...although today he did great for Ms. Valerie! which is such a relief that he is getting over his separation anxiety!
and i finally got to set up an appointment for Daniel to be evaluated for his lack of speech. 1 week from today. i hope he can get approved for therapy.
oh, and i finished sorting through the last of the boxes of Amanda's this weekend. ::sigh:: now to organize it. see, my friend Amanda moved to Arizona last year in Oct. (husband lost his job, her fam had a rent free place for them there) but they couldn't afford to bring all their stuff, so they put it in a storage unit...well, they no longer could afford to pay it, and while they were current on it, after Amanda asked for my help, i went and moved all their stuff out of their storage unit and into my garage in time for them to not have to pay next months rent. a huge deal. and then came sorting through all of it figuring out what they wanted to keep and what goes to garage sale...and i'm done with that part now! so i just need to organize the stuff that goes and price it to sell at a garage sale. i'm an awesome friend what can i say? devoted and loyal.
and now i'm simply tired. i don't want to think about how i need to do the budget tomorrow and plan out some meals, make a grocery list and get groceries on top of going to BRCC and getting that straightened out... im sure i'll figure it out!
