Work work work......

Our furnace broke tuesday, ya know because being sick wasn't enough! So anyways to pay for that $700 repair (and the $340 dryer that broke the week before) Jeremy will be doing stock at either AE or aerie saturday mornings until we can get that paid off. Me picking up a weekend shift at aerie would have serously hurt my sanity level because i don't get to see my kids enough as it is right now, so Jeremy took one for the team and said he would work in the stock room. He will be in aerie's stockroom until the middle of Januray, and then after that i may have to see what i can arrange with AE because hopefully by then our full time stock peoson won't be coughing a lung and half on her deathbed!

In other news i'm still on the fence about aerie this week.....i LOVE it there, and i LOVE most the people, but i'm wondering if i'm too old for it (OMG did i JUST say that!!!). Serously though everyone i work with is in their early 20's.....and i'm getting way too close to 30 for my comfort level! Part of working with teens and 20somethings is that they act like teens and 20somethings......and i just don't know how much of it i am gonna be able to handle long term. I forgot that not everyone goes to their job, does their job to the best of their ability and then went home.......NOPE not like that inthe retail world, people play favorites, they listen and don't listen, and then there comes the whole working with ALL girls......girls will be girls and let me tell you i'm waiting for the day it gets UGLY! We also have a high turn around and it's frustrating to see the same people you trained last week quit in a month because they don't like it!!! So it will be interesting to see where i find a nitch within the AE company as a whole.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MILES!!!! I'm off to find a bag to put his present in.....because i'm all out of boy wrapping paper!

I hate being sick....

I had to actuallybreak down today and go to the doctors. I HATE being sick but now im getting sicker and i've been having allergy problems that i have been letting go for too long. Jeremy being the wonderful and loving husband that he is took my sick tushie to the doc, and the stayed home the rest of the day so i could get some rest. Im feeling a little better now but i still can't breathe very well and im worried the children will eat me alive tomorrow.
In other news Natalie is walking now. She has been for a month or so but man she can really go now. She follows Emma around everywhere she goes and even has a few hiding spots i see her go into when she wants to be left alone. Poor Emma this means no more carrying Natalie around (and no more heart attacks for mommy!) and she can't just leave the room to get away from sharing. Natalie is also in LOVE with babydolls. She ALWAYS has to be carrying them around, so its a good thing that Aunt Becky got the twin pack for x-mas 2 years ago.
Tomorrow is Jeremy's birthday and im gonna hopefully have enough energy to make him a cake. He is at the store now getting eggs and i hope i have cake mix......if not i will be buying a cake and telling him i made it myself!



Emma all ready to party it up!


Natalie being silly as usual!

The girls on Halloween! Natalie was a little sick so the I heart mommy shirt was in order!
