back in the grind

very much looking forward to getting paid next week, and then the tax return coming. i hate bills, money's not everything, but it'd be nice to not have that as a stress. it'll get better though with me back at work.

didn't get that position, but i think there was a lot more going on than a simple position opening. i'll take it as a sign to continue with my other plans.

adjusting back into nightshift isn't really very hard for me. probably because i'm so used to getting up constantly with bailey to feed her. also, the last time i worked nights i was 9 months pregnant, so anything is easy compared to that.

i've been trying to get more organized with stuff around the house to make it easier with us. it doesn't take much to throw the house into chaos as far as laundry and organization. i've been trying to plan meals out and do a lot of stuff in the freezer and crock pot to save us time and money and sanity. i made chicken soup the other day that was really good. i also put together about 10 freezer bags of meals to just throw in there from the freezer which should help.

what else, going on week 4 of weight watchers. i lost another few pounds last week, we're going in the right direction. charlie's doing really great with it.

last night we took bailey to dinner for the first time, it was a going away dinner for pete since he's leaving the hospital and working at an asthma clinic. she did really well surprisingly, she usually hates the carseat. olivia was miss social, talking to everybody, singing and dancing for people. she's a little actress when she's with people she knows. it was a bunch of people she recognized from work so she was pretty laid back.

saturday she's going to be the flower girl in lyndsey and pete's wedding, that should be fun. i need to find her shoes to wear for it, i really don't feel like going out today but i don't have much of a choice. i wasn't sure what the dress looked like up until last night. i think she'll do ok at dragging lucas down the aisle with her, they'll be cute either way. she's a much different kid than she was at barely 2 at val's wedding, and she knows pete and lyndsey and lucas a lot better.
