Happy Tuesday

Yesterday was my first day helping out in Abby's class with Art. It was an adventure to say the least. I am very very lucky to have a well behaved child. She is a handful sometimes but nothing compared to some of the kids in her class. I will be back up there on Thursday and boy am I glad that I did not have to go back up there today...I needed a break. Haha. It was fun being able to see what all they do in class and meeting the kids. Abby really enjoyed it too.

I am so ready to start feeling like myself again.. I am tired of the night sweats and nausea. I have recently stopped taking my Celexa. I have been on it for a couple of years and since Justin and I are trying to have a baby I decided to just get off of it all together. Most Drs say that you can stay on it till your 3rd month but I don't want to have to deal with all the side effects along with being preggo. So I guess that there is no better time then now. I will never get back on anything like this unless it is a HAVE TO type of deal. I have been feeling terrible. I have not taken it in about 2 weeks or a little longer so I am hoping that I start feeling better soon. :)

We have no plans this afternoon and I am so glad. I think that we all really need sometime just to relax. Abby seems to be feeling better. She is still a little nauseous at times but I am pretty sure that is from the high dose of antibiotics. Poor baby girl, she is ready to not have to take medicine 3 times a flippin day!! This script she has to take for 14 days so she has a while till she is all done with them. :(

Yesterday my husband posted the sweetest thing on Facebook....

"Today 10 years ago my wife and I started an adventure that has had it's ups and downs but we are still moving forward and I still love her as much now as I did then. I love you baby."


Aww, how sweet is that??? It made my day. :) Yes, he is right we have had an adventure. I am really surprised that the both of us are alive to tell about it. :) I hope that the next ten years are a little less dramatic and a lot easier.....and I hope the next year includes us having our second child!!!

12 Days

After 12 days of being gone from the Endoscopy Center I stopped by to visit. It was nice. After working there for six years and seeing the same people daily, it is a big change not seeing them anymore. It was nice just to be able to stop by and chat and then leave without thinking that I had to go back up there to work the next day. It is not that I hated my job by any means but sometimes people change and want/need different things in their life. I was the girl that changed. The daily grind of working and rushing home to hurry and cook supper and bathe Abby and get her to bed, that had changed me. It is funny that it really did not take long for the change to come around. Abby's first day of school was Aug. 22nd and since then I have been a girl on the change. I had gotten to the point where I really did not enjoy coming to work, yes I know there are not many people who really enjoy working, but I did. I mean, I did not love to be there or want to be there all the time, but I did not hate it either. I can sit here and tell you that I miss somethings about working there. Some of my co-workers, talking to the patients, the crazy conversations that went on in the office, Yea I miss that so much. It was great to chat with everyone there today and nice to see their faces. :)

And I will continue to visit from time to time....That were my thoughts while I was leaving the Endoscopy Center today.  My idea from time to time is when I am ready to go and visit. Like I was today. I was ready and I was in town and I went to visit.

Ok the reason for all this silly beating around the bush is that on my way home I got a call from the Endoscopy Center and asked if I would be interested coming back to work but only as PRN. At that moment in time it sounded wonderful.. I would have no set amount of hours that I would have to work a week, I would only have to work at lease one shift every 90 days to keep a PRN status. I told them it sounded good and I would be interested in something like that...Or maybe I was wrong and I was really interested in it. Maybe I just liked the thought of seeing my co-workers every so often. I really have no idea what I am thinking. So the rest of my drive home with my Mom, after the phone call, I said very little. Just really thinking about the phone conversation that I had just had. Did I say that I was interested because I really wanted to do it or did I say that I was interested because I know that they need someone to help them out since they have not filled my position yet..... And that I am still unsure about at this moment. I did let them know that I would have to talk to my Husband about it and get back with them so not to get things rolling quite yet. I know that my Husband is going to say that I should do what will make me happy but damn I really don't know if that would make me happy. I am so completely happy being at home and being involved with my daughter everyday. I love that I don't have to rush anything anymore. I really get to just sit back and take in everything that is wonderful and great in my life. Would going back to work PRN take this away form me?? How would my daughter feel about it?? There would be days that I would work and not be able to pick her up form school. I have wanted to be able to be a stay at home Mom since Abby was born and now that I am able to do that I am not sure that I would be completely happy going back to work, even if it is just PRN. I am very unsure, as you can see of what I want to do. I need sometime to just sit and think about it and talk to my Hubby!

With all of that out there, I think that I will sweep and mop and finish my laundry.

Happy Hump Day!!

Happy Friday!!

My first week of being a stay at home Mom/Wife has been a busy one.

Abby was sick the first part of this week. She went back to school on Wednesday and then soccer practice that evening. Thursday after school she had an appointment at the new salon in town to get feathers put in her hair. She was very, very excited about it. I am not sure that they are worth 25.00 bucks, but she loves them, so I guess they are. :)



**She was all smiles for the rest of the day**

Today Abby had school pictures. I can't wait to get the back. I am a little worried about her smile though. She tends to over do it most of the time. Haha. But I am sure that they will turn out wonderful. I was very happy to know that they had their pictures done first thing this morning, I was worried that they would have to wait till after recess and she would be a hott mess when it came picture time. Thank goodness it did not turn out that way. Yesterday I had to run to Walmart to pick up a few things and I found the cutest Hello Kitty flats that I had to get her. She got to wear them today!! And she LOVED them.

They are the cutest right??

And here is my Lil Abigail this morning as we were leaving to take her to school!!! Love her so much!!!

**My Baby Girl**





Not to sure what the plans are for the weekend but I know that my Hubby is glad that he is NOT on call. He had to work pretty much all last weekend. I think that we are going to try and move the pool table that is at my Mom's house to storage and then my Mom and I can start painting and getting things ready at her house for the big move. I am so ready to get this show on the road. So maybe with some luck we will make some progress this weekend.:)

I hope that everyone has a wonderful weekend. :)

And I am loving this weather!!! Great movie/sleeping weather!!!

Day One of Stay at Home Mom/Wife

It was a little odd this morning when I got up to get Abby ready for school and I did not have to put scrubs for work. I think it will take some time to really sink in that I don't ever have to go back to work at the Endoscopy Center again....

Abby woke up this morning feeling good, she at breakfast, watched cartoons and finally got dressed. She is pretty slow in the mornings. (like her Daddy) Dropped Abby off at school around 7:45 and headed back home to start my busy day of laundry and cleaning. I really wanted to go back to sleep but I didn't. My plan was to get the house clean and laundry going that then I would go and get my much needed pedi......But when you have children things usually don't go as planned. At 9:11 the school nurse called and said that Abby was in her office throwing up and that I needed to come and get her, so I grabbed my purse and was off to get my sick baby girl. Poor thing,she got sick in her classroom and did not make it to the trash can or bathroom. :( Bless her heart. She said that is was not a big mess. Thank goodness.

We got home within about 3 minutes and she was ready to crawl in bed. I think she was in her PJs and in bed before I even had time to put my purse down on the kitchen bar. I put on one of her fav Barbie movies and got her some juice and crackers and she was set. It did not take long and she was out. That is pretty much all she has done all day long. Besides making trips to the bathroom she has been in bed all day long. And for Abby to stay in bed that long means she is really, really sick. She is still not feeling any better this evening but the nurse said that even if she was that she had to stay home tomorrow.  I really hope that she is able to get some rest tonight and that she wakes up in the morning feeling 100 times better. I hate when my baby is sick. I would rather it be me.

I was able to continue my cleaning once I go her all snuggled up in her bed. I actually got a lot done today. No pedi...but if I have waited this long I can wait a couple more days. House is all clean, supper was ready when my Hubby got home and I only have some blankets left to wash tomorrow. Good stuff.

Thank you Hubby for letting me be a stay at home Mom/Wife!!! I love you!!!
