Life Happens...

Who knew that it was possible to go into a job, and absolutely LOVE it?? I am going to miss working when my time comes to an end here. If I wasn't already 5 months+ pregnant, I probably would stay for awhile. However, I know how I do with pregnancy during the summer months, and I have a feeling that things aren't going to swing my way as far as swelling, etc. goes. It has already started with the 105 degree temps outside. I have started to focus strictly on drinking lots of water, and staying off my feet as much as possible. My trashcan is tipped upside down under my desk, and I am just relaxing!!
I go to work each day, never knowing what is going to happen that day…. Which continues to make my days interesting here, and filled with fun. I work for the 2 top managers which run the site under the main director. So to put it into perspective, who I report to is pretty much the head dogs on the floor everyone is scared of. Then, there are 2 managers below which run all the employees…. And those two managers are very cool. I like "Cooper" cause my morning greeting is always the same, and always with a smile~ " Morning Maggie,---Whats new!??-- Hows the kid? - Hows the dogs?" I don’t have a team, which can sometimes make it kinda lonely. I miss the days on the floor where I was the "team lead" of my old team, and I had TONS of people to talk to and hang out with. Some are still very good friends to this day!
However, I have met quite a few people who are really amazing, and so friendly here now. Oh, and did I mention I LOVE getting paid weekly…. And being able to just do what I want?? It feels SOOO good to just dream up everything I want to do, and right now I can make everything happen with me working just a short time….
Life with the Jones clan has been kinda busy lately. I love staying busy, but I need to remind myself I can't Go, Go, Go anymore like I used to. Most nights, I am so tired when I get home that I just lay my bootie down on the couch, and just spend some quality time with my handsome guy. As he grows daily, he gets more and more amazing. He is smart-- and can do anything he sets his mind to. He is independent, and is in that stage of not wanting help. Although the frustration soon follows when he figures out he can't do EVERYTHING himself, and sometimes needs to ask. Soon after he see's this, he is soon to forget and off to playing he goes again!
Grandpa is doing a swell job of watching after the little tyke. He LOVES hanging out there and playing with his toys and dogs. It is a good substitute for daycare, knowing that he is with my Dad, and Mom when she is off work throughout the week. I have also looked into a learning center close by my house that I wanted to find out costs for putting Zach in maybe 3 times a week for part time. They teach him EVERYTHING he needs to know before going into Pre-k in a couple years. But, they do EVERYTHING with them, and I was thinking it might be a good break for him to get away once Ethan is born. It allows him to make new friends, and figure out those social skills with people, besides Mom and Dad. When I stop work, he will also take up therapy again, and get the remainder of his testing completed on his ears, etc.
The month of June and July are going to be SUPER busy for us. We have birthdays and baby showers to attend. Zach is turning 2 on July 29th and we are holding his party on July 25th. Our friends Shannon and Tiffanie are having baby's and their showers are also going to be around this time. Along with Shannon's kids b-day party, and some other fun events! We are probably most likely going on a trip over Father's Day weekend. Josh's family ofcourse wants to do the whole California thing over the summer, so we are planning on joining in on that. Should be a good time…. And then at some point in time, Susan has said she wants to throw Josh and I a "shower/sprinkle" for Baby Ethan. She is so amazing, and we really appreciate all the kind thoughts and well wishes for our pending arrival in Oct. Did I mention how lucky we are to have such wonderful friends and family?? We are just so lucky when it comes to that, we couldn't ask for better.
Anyhooo--- I am off to get somethings accomplished for my day…. Maybe a trip to Target later on??? I LOVE shopping for my boys….
