Jobservations

1. Mug warmer-LOVE it. I'd like one for my house. And wouldn't it be nice in the winter to have a bum warmer on your chair so you are all cosy?

2. My eyes get real tired by 2pm.

3. It's nice having the radio on all day.

4. It's nice to make a half a toasted bagel with peanut butter in the afternoon and have not one person ask me for a bite or say what about me and MY snack?

5. I have to ask a lot of questions. I am sure people are getting tired of me and will start hiding from me very soon.

6. It took me a week to remember unconsciously to shut the bathroom door when I pee. So used to keeping it open and keeping an ear out for the kids.

7. Afternoons go quicker than mornings.

8. I miss my kids.

9. Gotta go!

Where i bin

Hola.

Guess what I did?

Started a full time job. For real.

Haven't worked full time for a real long time. But an opportunity came up at my husband's workplace and I went for it.

So for the past two weeks, I have learned

Fax machine, Photocopier, Scanner, Fancy Business Phone,
How to Invoice, How to cost jobs, How to enter bills and pay bills and receive parts,
Two different kinds of business software, Excel,
How to work a stapler and letter opener, plus the thing that takes the staples out, I am really good at taking staples out, by the way, you would barely know they were ever there except for the little Dracula bites in the paper.

HuGe LeArNiNg curve. And I somehow have to figure out how not to get home at 530 and have to run around like a chicken till 1030pm.

Thankfully, Jay's mom lives with us, so it's a big big plus for childcare. Along with the fact that Sam and Monty are both now full timers.

Monty got in trouble at school yesterday for standing in the sink. Neat, huh?

I have a nice office. Big window and lots of space. I can see a bridge highway out my window, watch trucks gliding along it.

So, yeah! If I didn't stop by your blog in the past bit, forgive moi. Will get back on track now that I am not so new at everything. Blogging from work! Always wanted to be one of those people!

The wedding that lucy is a flower girl in is NEXT week. Should be so fun.

And now I better get back to stapling. Don't want to get in trouble! Get meself feered.

Have a super weekend, folks!

Back 2 School!

First day of school today! It was weird saying goodbye to Monty for the whole day, grade one and all. Felt a little like my heart got emptied out when he went into his classroom. Me and Lucy had some serious 'ladytime' though. Puttered around the house, did laundry, went for a walk and looked at everyone's flowers.

Here is a pic at the bus stop. The extra kid (in the blue) is the neighbor's. Monty looks a little overwhelmed by his gear. Sam looks like my big grade six boy (inSISted on wearing his Schweinsteiger jersey on the first day, very German-proud, that one) . Wah! Lucy is happy because at this point she thinks she is going to school too. The tears came after, when she had to be restrained from jumping onto the bus behind them. "I go sool too, mommy! I'n a big girl!"

The Instructions: List five songs that you're currently diggin' on - it doesn't matter what genre they're from, whether they have words or not, nor do they have to be any good, but they must be songs you're really enjoying right now. Post these instructions and the five songs including artist names on your blog. Then tag five people to see what they're listening to...

Mine are:

Robert Downey Jr cover of Yes's "Your Move"

My whole cd called The Vamps, especially "Caramba! It's the Samba!"

"Sexy Back" by Justin Timberlake. I actually PAID $1.19 on napster for this song! Help!

The CD from my kids Vacation Bible School. It's the music of our van when we are on the road. It's getting to me just a bit by now.

"Tomorrow" from Annie, currently on Lucy's roster of songs that she belts out. SO GREAT.

Alright! done!

I tag anyone who is up for it. No pressure its FRIDAY.
