Nervous.....

Like a school girl...

Well, it is official...I start the new job tomorrow morning at 9am. I am excited, nervous...crazy tired (long day of cleaning and organizing in order to get ready for the new job)...

I can't wait until end of day tomorrow...just so I can say that I made it through the "first day" and the jitters.

My parents were amazing and offered to babysit ALL 3 kids for the night so I could get up and get ready in the morning and not have to worry about getting anyone but myself together in the morning. They are so great!! Love you very much!

So wish me luck and I will update you all...well, both of you :)

Meet Brodie...


Says the e-mail....

Good ol' J. Crew...I would love to have these boots...however, the price tag is not in my budget...more than likely those dollars will be spent on things that are much more fun....such as:





That is okay...I am loving window shopping these days...or on-line viewing of all the great items coming out for the spring. I do not have one item that I will be purchasing sooner than later....

I purchased the black wash for my NYE outing...and now I can't wait to buy the dark denim wash....I never thought I would be the "skinny" jean type, but they look super cute with flats, heals and boots...can't beat that!

The only thing better than J. Crew....CREWCUTS!! They have the cutest items for KK...she received a quite a few additions to her wardrobe for Christmas and I am excited to add more when Spring time comes around.

Well...I am off to virtually shop...

Too Darn Cold...

So today it is currently 13 degrees outside...with a -6 degree wind chill...WHAT!?!

Is it sad that I am looking forward to Saturday....because it will be so much warmer...at 31 degrees...which is STILL below freezing!!

Due to this fact, the boys and I will be indoors ALL DAY! I plan on cleaning out my closet, deep cleaning the bedroom and organizing before the new job starts Monday...unless, I decide it is so cold that the boys need to be cuddled up to me all day to stay warm. If that is so, I will do my motherly duty and bundle up with both and sit on the couch and catch up on all my DVR'd shows....ALL DAY. You do what you have to :)

I hope everyone has a wonderfully day...STAY WARM!!

New Year....New Job

Happy New Year!

I hope that everyone had an amazing time bringing in 2010. We did! My parents so kindly took all three kids for the evening and the hubs and I put on some sparkle...well I did :) and headed out on the town! A friend of ours organized an outing for a group of us to a place called the Prohibition Room.

What fun!

Normally, I am somewhat bah-humbug on New Year's Eve....it is also such a let down. However, this year it was exactly what we needed. Life as a Guy has been somewhat stressful lately.....and I thought parenting 3 kids 2 and under and taking care of a marriage was supposed to be easy ha...ha...but food, dancing and some bubbly is exactly what we needed!!

And this is me before the bubbly :)

The hubs and I got a pic together...however, it was apparently on someone else's camera...finding this pic is on my to-do list....since having the kids we rarely take any picture's together!!

Well, after a wonderful NYE with friends....a terrible Cotton Bowl (seriously Cowboys....offensive? anyone?) I returned to work yesterday to start my last week.

So this is bittersweet....I have been at this job for 5 years...FIVE YEARS...half a decade...I started their single and I am leaving a married mother of 3....I just can't believe how quickly the time has passed. I have truly made some of my best friends there. I have learned about 1,000 lessons.

Well, then why am I leaving a job I care about so....well...life. I had an opportunity that presented itself...and I took it. It was actually a very challenging process...I had 3 interviews before landing the new gig, not to mention it is in a field that I have little experience in. So, I am excited for the challenge.

I am sure I will write more on this as I get into the new position. I begin next Monday...so please, wish me luck!
