Well, not a whole lot has gone on since my last post. I thought I would do an update on my new position at work. I LOVE IT! I stay screaming busy. I love that too. There isn't anything I hate worse than not having enough to do at work. As a receptionist the last 5 years I sat on my duff and provided service to those who came in and those that called in. It was great. Super easy and I loved catching up and staying up to date with my co-workers. Which now I don't even have time to wave at them. Anyway, I went from 5 years of sitting to not even being able to think about sitting. By the time 4:00 pm comes, my hips, legs, and feet are killing me. Once I get home,well ask my girls I am in my recliner for 1/2 hr or so till my legs and hips stop aching. I am really out of shape. I've learned many things in the last 3 wks. How to scrape poop out of babies diapers and send off to the lab, Urine Analysis, gag kids with the swab to test for strep, weigh, measure, do a PKU and of course poke the legs of poor unsuspecting kids. Actually most of them cry the min. I call their names in the waiting room. I've witnessed wart removals, toe nail removals, cast applications,and circumcisions, I still need to observe a cast removals, spinal tap, stitches, and I am sure there are other things I haven't even thought of. So, like I said, I love it.

The family is doing great. Morgan saved her babysitting money and bought herself a laptop. She thinks I am mean for not bowing at her wants and serving her with a sliver platter of whatever she wants. Notice I said wants. I make my girls save their money, and if there is anything they WANT they have to buy it.

Hailey is doing great in 7th grade. She is a social butterfly and always has a ton of friends all the time. She will probably play spring soccer but we are still undetermined at this point.

Sara is loving her clogging class and will be competing in March. I am hoping to get her into the clogging camp at BYU.

Ward well same thing as always. Working his butt off, and serving his women. Today he baked cookies with Hailey. It was so fun to watch them. He also loves our primary class and as I, he gets good laughs from the things that little 4 yr olds say in class. One of my faves...Q: Why does Jesus want us to choose the right? A: I could smell hot dogs in my Mommy's tummy.

Well till next time. TTFN

New position at work

Why, O why is it so hard for me to update this blog...???!!!!!

Good News!!! I was offered a CNA Position with my current employer. I started on Tuesday. I love it. I stay really busy which is what I thrive on. I have been learning new things everyday. I have also poked a lot of cute kids with needles (their Immunizations) :(. Today I was able to watch the freezing of a plantar wart (very painful), and a circumcision :( ! It did not make me sick at all just sad for those poor little boys. Thankfully they won't remember it.

Today is my Birthday....I realized how much I love going to work on my Birthday. I got balloons, doughnuts, and Birthday wishes. When I got home, my girls made me a Happy Birthday banner and put it on the garage door. Then I got to go on a scavenger hunt to find a present from my Sara...2 movie tickets, and skittles. Morgan gave me a beautiful card and a cozy blanket and pillow. Hailey gave me a really cute card telling me how much she loves me with a Reese Peanutbutter Cup. My favorite! The girls also made me a cake, and Ward went out and got one of my favs...Pizza and bread sticks.

We had a fun Christmas with lots going on. Over all it was a lot of fun. We had Family at our house Christmas Day, and the Day after. We also had a lot of fun on New Years Eve...had a party at our friends house with lots of silly string, fire works, and yummy food.

Sara had her first two Clogging Performances in the month of Dec. she did great and decided to do compitition next year. TTFN
