Tuesday Thoughts....

So... uh... Hey there! Its been a while I know... I've just been so consumed in my every day life off the computer, that its hard for me to get a minute to myself to indulge in my babblings...

So, I'm still working full time (WHEN will it EVER end?!).... I'm still going to school...Still a Mommy to my 2 little princesses...and still a wife...who has had a husband that has been laid off now for about a month. We're not hurting money wise, and I thank God every day for that- and its been kinda nice having him home, helping out, a bit.
So... working hasn't been anything interesting, really. I had my review about a month or so ago, and it was an excellent review. They love me, and say I am one of the best in my position. But my position is not management and I'm only a high pion (is that spelled correctly?) lol. So I had gotten asked why don't I apply for a management position, or something that is going to give me some more money? I couldn't really answer why I haven't. After thinking about it... I'm comfortable in my position, I get along with the people I have to work with, I've been working with them for about 6 years now... and like my manager said, I am excellent in how I do my job. I don't want to go back down the totum pole and become the littilest pion again.
That brings me to my schooling... I'm still going to school online- I will have my associates in July (yay!) and I have been accepted and will start the bachelor program in August. Right now I am just doing a basic psychology.  I know that I want to help people... but I am stuck right now as to how I want to help them, and what kind of setting would be ideal to me....  Any suggestions? Anyone know of positions that are more detailed, I just want to get some ideas...

So school takes up my evening about half of the week... So its a good thing that Hubby has been home, he's been cooking and dealing with the girls, A LOT.
The holidays flew, and I didn't do and didn't get everything that I planned to, but the kids seemed to have a good holiday, and it went well. Right before Christmas, we adopted a 16 month Chocolate Lab female. She is the best dog ever, I have never seen a lab so chill as she is. She plays with a couple of the dogs in the neighborhood, and is EXCELLENT off her leash. Really, the only thing we had to work on with her was walking on a leash. She's a lot better at it now. She's house broken, crate trained. But... she has a bad case of separation anxiety. We can't leave her alone for more than an hour or two. We're thankful that a neighbor is more than willing to "dog sit" her if we're going to be away more than a couple hours and she isn't able to come with us. She's great with the kids, and the kids LOVE her.

I have been trying to quit smoking... I haven't actually quit yet- but have cut down considerably. I'm trying...
I have also been trying to lose weight. I had gained like 15 lbs since I had quit weight watchers... but now i am back down to only being 5 lbs away from where I was when I quit. I have been enjoying wii fit plus, and our exercise on demand channel on the tv... I also just signed up at a local gym, and plan on going a few times a week with a co-worker/friend. This also has a tanning membership, so I am hoping to feel a lot better about myself. We'll see how this works, I really want it to. I want some different routines... I love the treadmill, but I also wanted to have a little strength training... anyone have any ideas on how I go about it? I know I can talk to soemone at the gym, but I wanted a little idea of what I may need before I go in there looking like an idiot! ;)

I've felt that I have been playing SIMS, but with my own life...  I have wanted to finish my book series that I have been reading, I've wanted to finish up a couple blankets that I was making, and I've wanted to work on my scrapbooking like crazy... But just like my SIMS online, I am always out of energy. LOL...Maybe sometime I will find the time...

Missed everyone! Talk to you soon....
