So, thank you first off, for checking back a gazillion times in the hopes of a new post only to be disappointed. Your persistence is truly inspirational! There is a reason for all of this "non-blogging". Simply put, I have been crazy busy.
First of all, Todd went to Vegas the first week of December for training. Much like his first Vegas trip (in Nov), the rest of us could barely make it through the week without our most valuable player! No kidney stones this time!! But we did have another bout of strep throat, the dog ran away (and came back) and a grocery store incident (i don't want to talk about it):).
During that week, I also applied (on a whim) for a job at Wells Fargo in their phone bank center. Applied, phone interview, personal interview, background check, BAM!!!! Employed!!! All in the course of 7 days! I am a bit impressed myself! For not actually being so serious about getting a job, I was a little stunned! So, like I said, "on a whim", I hadn't actually told Todd about my venture (he was in Vegas). So when he got home, I had to spill the beans. employed. Excited, nervous, what did I just do??, all of that. Mostly excited because it puts me one step closer to being 'employee of the month'!!(something you don't necessarily get recognized for as a SAHM)
Week 2 of December, I read the Twilight series. Yes all of them. In 4 days.
Don't remember much else about week 2 of December.(PS, saw the movie HATED the movie!!)
Now the rest of December, I crammed all the things that I have been putting off doing into 2 little weeks, so that I could start my job on the 29th. That is why I have been so busy. In preparation for employment.
Christmas was fantastic. The kids fav's:Ty got a video game (V-smile) and Lexie got a DIDJ (hand held educational video game) amongst other things.
My realization was that from now on, we are in the league of "big kid" things. Clothes, games, styles, trends etc.....
No more dollies and tonka trucks. I am sad. I miss the days that a baby doll (that didn't make noise or require batteries or Internet access) satisfied Lexie for hours! Or when a front loader's only source of fuel was a 2 year old boy!
On to the work part.....
Jessi (BFF) got a job at Wells Fargo about a month or so earlier. She loved it. She said "hey you should apply and see what happens. I bet you would be great at it" So I did. And I got it. And now I have a job.
*************************************************************************************
AS A DISCLAIMER*
I am not required by my husband or anyone else to get a job.
I am enjoying the challenge it presents.
We are NOT financially unstable
We are NOT contentious on this point
We are NOT having marital problems

Thank you for your concern. (you know who you are!)But it is a simple situation about personal challenge.
Thank you everyone for all your support and friendship in the past year. I look forward to the next!!!
My resolution: to hit the ground running, go for broke, and have no regrets in the end!

I hope I was not the only one that needed the disclaimer. I just worry. The hasards of being a mom I guess. I am happy that you are happy. And believe me I totally understand (ex.the bus). Love ya!
You are awesome! So how do you like the job??
BTW, I think you're brave. Apart from the side of me that want's to be a sahm, I would be scared to death to go back to work full time.
Thats awesome what a fantastic break from the kids and I really good move for your own social life in the workplace! Slightly jealous, but my day will come once peyton is in school!!! You're brave to take the challenge I'm not wanting any other challenges this year besides the ones that followed me from last year!!! You are AMAZING though!!!
