In my last couple of blogs and I was seeking a new part time job and now I have one. I am going to do mini events at costco on the weekends for Nevada Powers Energy Star. I had my training on Tuesday and lets just say that I think that this is going to be a great job. It is only temp but it pays good and I get my foot in the door. Who knows that could happen.

My Kids

I was looking at pictures of my kids and I can not believe how big they are, exspecially Ethan. Ethan is six months old and weights 19-1/2 pounds. He is growing so much. everyday he changes. I am so happy that I am able to stay home with him. He is such a happy baby. He is always smiling and wants so much to be mobile. they say that the second one grows up much faster and it is so true. Ethan also adores Hannah. If Ethan is upset Hannah just has to go over and talk to him and he immediately stops. It is amazing how much they love each other. When I was pregnant with Ethan I was trying to prepare Hannah for his coming and at her age I was unsure how she would be but I am blessed to say that Shaun and I are raising a very lovable, kind little girl. Not once has she ever been mean to him. She loves him and says it to me and to Ethan all the time. Here is a list of some of the things that Hannah has said about her brother.

1) This is Ethan (seeing him in the hospital the first time)
2) Ethan is going bye bye with us too? (couple of days after he was home we were leaving the house and she realized that he was going with us.)
3) He has in your tummy?
4) Ethan is so cute!
5) Ethan stinks!
6) Stop it! your going to pop him! (a friends kid was playing with Ethan and said that he was going to eat him. Hannah got so upset and told the kid to stop that he was going to pop her baby brother.)
7) Are those his meatballs? ( I was changing Ethan's diaper. I think that explains meatballs.)

I know she has said many more but unfortunately I didn't write them all down.

Orchard

Yesturday, We went to the Orchard with the Moms Group. We had a great time and loved being outside. It was a lot of fun picking our own veggies. We got zuccuni, eggplant and pumpkins. Hannah loved her zuccuni she would not put it down. I recommend it but next year we will go in September since the Orchard was picked over.

I Need A Job

It is 3 on Saturday and the house is nice and quiet. The kids are both sleeping and Shaun is doing church stuff. The last couple of days have been rough. I ended up not taking the 8 hour position. It just would not work out with having to pay a babysitter. So now I have to find something to make up that money now that I am no longer babysitting. I really do not want to watch others kids but I only have a week to find something. I have given this to God. I am telling myself that there was a reason and that I need to just be patient. I am currently looking, made some calls so hopefully something will come up. It's funny how something can turn your life upside down and causes worry. I am praying that it will be taken care of this week.

Yesterday Was A Weird Day

It was a weird day yesterday. I attended for the first time a Mom to Mom bible study at a church by the house. I really liked it and I felt that I made connections with the other moms. The study was about simplify your day to day life. If you don't know me my life needs to be simplified. I have two young children, I babysit a 3 year old and I work at night plus all the day to day things that need to get done. I was thinking about the study that day and trying to think of ways to simplify but I wasn't coming up with any ideas so I just let it be. Well later on that day the mother of the child I watch told me that i will no longer be watching her son. It came as a shock because it was out of the blue. At first I was upset because I did it to supplement your income because I only work 5 hours at night, but my husband was so nice about it he just said that he was happy that I would no longer have to watch other peoples kids and that we will make the money up some how. I want to tell you that God is awesome. i did not even need to take it to him because he had already provided. I will be starting a new custodian job here in a couple of weeks and working an eight hour shift will make up the money. Now I just need someone to watch my kids for 3 hours everyday. For the first time in a long time it was nice that I didn't take over and I let God handle it. He knew exactly what I needed and I don't have to worry about it. So my life has been simplified I now just have my kids and then I go to work. I am having a great day today. It is such a blessing.

Tired Mom and Dad

Do you ever wonder why little babys sleep better during the day then they do at night? I would like to know! My son Ethan is 6 months old and still does not sleep through the night. Every once in a while he will if he is sleeping in his swing. This weekend my husband and I decieded that it was time to not let him use his swing at all. He is just way to big for it now. Well need less to say we have had 3 very rough nights. He wakes up every three hours or so and just crys. I have been wanting to let him just cry himself to sleep but that has not been going well plus it breaks our hearts to hear him get so upset and cry for so long exspecially my husband. He also seems to be waking up at the same time everynight or should i say morning wanting to eat. I don't know if that is becoming a habit. Ethan goes to the doctor tomorrow so I will see what she says. If anyone reads this blog I am open to suggestions.

Why I Am A Custodian

Well I have done it! I have actually set up a blog. I have no idea how I am going to have the time to write something everyday, but I will give it a try.

One of the reason I have started this blog is so that I can work on my typing skills. I need to take a typing test soon and I have not had to work at a computer in the last 3 years, so I am a little rusty. I have decided to apply for a new job in the school district. I have been a custodian for that last 3 years. I took this job so that I could be home during the day with my daughter who was 1 at the time. I didn't mind it to much but I get really ashamed to let anyone know what I do for work. I only wanted to do this for a little while just to get my foot in the door but here it is 3 years and another baby later. Before I had children I have always had decent office jobs. Thought I didn't mind the work but after I had my daughter I hated taking her to a babysitter. I had to go back to work when she was six weeks old. It was so hard I missed her everyday, but money didn't allow me to stay home. I wanted to leave so bad. I went back to school and applied at lots of different places but it was such a struggle and everything came to a dead end, also at the time the company was going threw a huge transition and making work very stressful. I was so unhappy. I prayed everyday for God to open up an opportunity. Finally he answered. I had been praying for over a year. My friend's husband is a custodian and he said that they were hiring. I thought why not it isn't glamorous and It would give me a much need mind break. I applied and got the job in less then a month (that is unheard of usually it takes 6 months). I said adios to the stressful job and I have never once regretted leaving. Yes, my job is not glamorous and it has humbled me but it was the wisest decision I have ever made because I am able to raise my children. That was my hearts desire and still is and I am going to apply for another night position because I have finally felt released to do so.
