Daycare Adventures: Here We Go Again

So I started working at the daycare again this week and all I can think is.... perfect timing. It is getting cold and three days in to my new job two of my kids are already out sick. I haven't been here in two years which means I am going to have to go through all of that immune system build up crap again.... I am not at all looking forward to that.

So I am now religiously using germ-x and if you are one of those people that says that stuff doesn't work, leave me alone. Sickness is I'm sure like 50% mind over matter so just let me believe it's working and maybe it will. I just know this is going to be oh so interesting.

With all of that being said, I am so excited to be working with kids again. Not only that but I don't have such a long drive like I did before and there are so many different things going on now then the last time I was working here. I know that it's not going to be easy, it never is and I can already tell you that I am dead tired after I get off work every day and today is only my fourth day but my heart is full. I get to love on 9 kiddos every day. Now I will say that daycare, as I'm sure everyone knows, is the BEST birth control ever. I love kids, even these kids that are not mine but you can be sure it reminds me of the reasons I want to have some time with just me and my husband before we jump into parenthood.

Another thing I am excited about is that while my husband and I both would like me to have the opportunity to be a stay-at-home mom when we have kids. I am so very happy that I get to help out with bills again. It is such a great feeling to be able to take some of that burden off of my husband. I hope that I will have more to post soon but until then I am going to go and spend the next few hours loving on my daycare kiddos and then head home to cook dinner for my sweet husband before we crash HARD for the night:)

Until next time,

P.S. I love my life....

BOO!!!

I bet you didn't expect to hear from me:) Long time no see! Oh! I almost forgot, HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I know that in just a few short hours it will no longer be Halloween and we will have entered into the month of November but I thought I'd throw it in there anyway.

Any-who, how are you? How have you been since the last time I posted? How about your day today? How did today go, hmm? Were you prepared for trick-or-treaters, or were you one of the many last minute candy shoppers? Don't worry, I went to Walmart at around 6PM and I can personally guarantee you that you were most certainly NOT the only last minute candy shopper.

Tonight was our first Halloween together as Mr. and Mrs. and it was quite boring in a since of we didn't have any little trick-or-treaters. We watched a "scary" movie, ate some snacks and enjoyed the evening together.

Now, let me talk to you just a second about my very hypocritical pet peev. Today I was informed by a friend that the city we live in had put up the snowflakes on the light poles around the city. I just could not believe that they did such an insane thing on the DAY OF Halloween!!! Isn't that just one of the most absurd things you've ever heard? Christmas lights up on the day of Halloween. So I reasoned... Maybe they were just putting them up in preparation for the upcoming months.... no big... calm down... However, as mentioned earlier, Charles and I made a trip to Walmart and I couldn't believe it..... ALL of the snowflakes.... WERE LIT!!!!! =O I know you're probably just as baffled as I am.... it's okay... I'll give you a minute....

Okay, now that we've calmed down.... do you remember me calling this a very hypocritical pet peev (rant)? Well you see, maybe it's the snowflakes.... I really don't know.... I am sitting here, listening to Christmas music as I type!!!!!

EVERYONE JUST CALM DOWN!!!! THERE IS NO NEED TO PANIC!!!! WE ALL KNOW THAT I HAVE A SERIOUS CHRISTMAS PROBLEM!!!!! JUST CHILL!!!! <---- hehe, see what I did there.... chill.... I know, I know.... it wasn't that funny....

So anyway.... at the risk of being hunted down by a mob of people that know and understand we should only have one holiday at a time, the same people of which who really don't like people that are as overly obsessed with Christmas as I am..... (I should seriously get a break this year since it is my first year as a wife.... just saying...)..... Who is looking forward to the Thanksgiving/Christmas festivities? 

Umm... yeah, that would be me right here. You can betcha I'm ready for Thanksgiving and Christmas. I finally have my own place to decorate, a husband to spend the holidays with and a whole new way to enjoy this season. It will definitely be different, but I know it will be a good different. 

So are there any of you out there reading this, that are celebrating your Thanksgiving/Christmas in a new way? How about a story about your first Thanksgiving/Christmas out own your own in the world? Did you carry on traditions, start new ones, or a little bit of both? I would absolutely love to hear from you all! Shoot me an email or comment below this post:) Looking forward to the stories flooding in =D
