Busy, Busy, Busy

Wow, it has been a really long time since I last posted. Time keeps getting away from me. I wish I could just slow down, relax, and enjoy life like you are supposed to. Working full time and being a mommy is very hard. Yes, I know I only work 3 days a week. However, those days are very LONG and stressful! I have been contemplating on changing my status to weekend option. I would work two days (24 hrs) a week, but get paid for three days (36 hrs). The only thing is, I do not get benefits like vacation, sick time, etc. So, that worries me. However, the money is awesome and 5 days off a week is awesome as well. I just don't know what to do.......any suggestions?

Well, May 8th was Lillian's 1st Birthday. WOW! I can't believe she is 1 already. Again, time is just slipping away from me. Lily had a great birthday. She got lots of new toys and clothes. She is pretty much set for awhile. We were going to have a cookout, but the day was cold. We ended up moving the party inside. My house is too small for an extra 30 people!!! We managed though. I was a bit stressed. I don't handle crowded rooms well!!! I needed a xanax after her party!!! My family from Illinois came to her party. I was so happy that they got to come!!! Lily was so happy to see Nana!!!

Before I forget, I want to say Congratulations to my co-worker Tammy! She had her beautiful baby boy, Kolten Jake on April 26th. He was 8 lbs, 6 oz and 21.5 inches long. He came out with beautiful dark brown hair!! So cute!!! Congratulations to Erin Owens on the birth of her baby girl, Colbie Brooke! She was born May 21. I don't know her measurements, but she is a beauty as well!!

I got a surprise a week and a half ago....my best friend Rae told me she is expecting!!!!! WoooHooo!! John and I are so happy for her and Adam!! She is due at the end of December! She is very excited. We hope for a healthy pregnancy for her!!

Yesterday, we took Lillian to the zoo for the first time. John and I went there a couple of years ago while they were in the process of building new things. We thought that Lily might like it and we wanted to see some of the changes. It was VERY hot out. We kept Lily in the shade most of the time. She really seemed to enjoy herself. I don't know if it was because she got to see some animals or if it was just because she was outside. Either way, she liked it. Lily and daddy were buddies yesterday...which it was fine. I don't do well in hot weather.


Well, I guess that is it for now. I will try to post more often. However, I may have to delete this blog because I just don't have a lot of time to deal with it. We will have to see. Hope everyone had a great weekend!!
