tap. tap.

is this thing on?

wow - I can't believe how long it's been since I've blogged!!! where does the time go??? oh I know - it's spent at work! lol

I LOVE MY JOB! I really do - I can still remember the day I went in to fill out the application - I did NOT want to do it but Darren thought it was time because he was having a bad week at work and he gets paranoid every fall - so I told him "fine, I'll get a job". I knew Playtime was the place for me since the kids could be with me for free and they'd pick them up at school and bring them to the center. Little did I know that in a month's time I'd become a supervisor...now at just 9 months I have bigger fish I'm trying to catch! I have my eye's set on a spot and hoping that if I work hard and try hard maybe I'll get what I want....we'll see!

The kids are keeping busy this summer with the activities at the daycare - Braden LOVES it and never enjoys his days off - Hailee is doing better...she's made some friends and now doesn't HATE coming....but is ready for the weekend :)

My sister, Briana, and her family came to visit earlier this month - had such a good time - my niece is ADORABLE! Can't wait to see photos of my nephew when he makes his appearance in October.

Darren's mom and step-dad will be here Wednesday for a week - it'll be a busy week with both Darren and I working, his mom's birthday, plus our annual 4th of July bash - but busy is good - makes the time go by fast though.

on the 12th my mom will be here for 2 weeks - the first week we'll need to cram in all the good, fun stuff because on the 20th Braden will be having surgery...tonsils and adenoids out, tubes in his ears, and his umbilical hernia repaired! sheesh! that's a lot - but I'm so glad my mom will be here to take care of him - makes it so I don't need a week off work for his recovery - the ENT said the tonsillectomy will be hard on him....poor baby.

right now we're just trying to stay cool - we've been almost 100 degrees this last week and next week we're supposed to hit 100 if not more - it's WAY too early for this and I'm thinking spring forgot to come around....but luckily we have some winds we don't normally get in the summer, so that helps, and in the shade it's actually bearable.

ok. that's the latest update - I'll try not to stay gone too long next time! and hopefully I'll come back with pictures :)
