Musical Monday + Update & Pics!

Well, first things first....HAPPY MONDAY!

Secondly, I had my interview this morning and I know you're dying for the scoop! Honeslty, I've had much better interviews than this one. They asked none of the behavioral questions I had studied, but I did the best I could on the fly. I hope my experience is enough and hopefully I will know by this Friday. I did get to see many colleagues I had worked with years ago and that was such a nice, refreshing treat.

Thirdly, we took Wyatt to feed some ducks at the local park. The stunning beauty is Jason's youngest sister, Jessica. She's such a bright, ambitious young lady and I am so flipping proud of her. She is going pre-med and I have no doubts she can do it!









And lastly, your Musical Monday. I am not a huge country fan, but I like this song. It speaks a simple truth of life....
You're Gonna Miss This, Trace Adkins

Wish me luck!

I have an interview Monday morning at 9AM!!
Woohooo! I hate that neverous anticipation though. I don't generally get too jittery or anxious, I just wish it were over already. So, cross your fingers and toes for me please!!

Musical Monday

Had to share this one....my current fave!
Make You Feel My Love, Adele

Have a great weekend!

Can you believe it's already August 11th?
Anyway, for your listening pleasure, here's your Musical Monday:
Cooling, Tori Amos

The Not-So-Artsy Art of Conversation

Everyday I am more and more thankful Wyatt is able to speak and communicate better. We have the funniest mini-conversations these days.

Me: "Wyatt, are you hungry?"
Wy: "Yeah, Wy-Wy eat."
Me: "What do you want to eat?"
Wy: "Wy-Wy eat chicken."
Me: "You want some chicken?"
Wy: "Yeah, eat chicken."

So simple yet so flipping wonderful. Its hard to believe sometimes he isn't even 2 yet. He is also pushing for more potty training. He had me rush him to the potty the other day only to have him whiz on the floor cuz he hasn't yet learned how to point, LOL.
Tonight he went for a dip in the pool with his daddy. I took lots of pics, so check in a couple days to see. Jason insists I go thru and delete out all of them that show his farmer's tan and belly flab, lol....so not sure how many usable photos there will be after that, HA! Afterwards Wy came inside to announce to everyone that "Wy-Wy swim in water!!" He loved it but he needs to work on holding his breath when he puts his head under water...YIKES!

OK, toodles from Texas...

Musical Monday & Update

Well, we're here.....back in Texas, finally! Its been a long, traumatic journey, but at least it's over. Now, we just gotta get used to this heat again...it's insane! We hit 111 yesterday....WOWIE! Wyatt doesn't like it one bit and it not happy that he can't go outside like he used to. Hopefully it will only be another month of this before it cools off a bit.
Other than that, we had a couple ask for a second showing on our house....so hopefully they are interested in making an offer soon! That would be SO WONDERFUL!

Ok, well hopefully I can make more regular posts now that we are here and are getting settled and to celebrate the joyous occasion, here is your Musical Monday!

Musical Monday

Just a little Red Bull for your Soul...
How Great is Our God, Chris Tomlin



Go ahead...play it again, you know you wanna!
Hope everyone has a wonderful week!

Anatomy of a Meltdown

Tried to get a few shots of Wyatt last night since I had taken him for a haircut and he was looking so handsome. Of course, that was not on his agenda last night, so it was very much a waste of my time to even try....








Other than that, the packing continues! I kinda goofed off yesterday and didnt get too much done so I need to make up for it today. Bleh.
Also been trying to clear out and use as much stuff in the fridge and freezer as possible. I hate wasting stuff. So, ummm....it is gross OR grosser than gross to eat fish sticks for breakfast?
Answer is neither. Actually wasn't that bad, although I don't think I'll attempt it again, lol! Woulda been better except my tartar sauce expired in 2006 and I was not about to take that chance {even though I LOVE tarter sauce! I'd put it on everything if I could. I don't cuz its not the best thing in the world to eat, but YUMMMM!}

My First Day of Freedom...

or is it?
My last day of work was yesterday. It's a strange, yet blissful feeling waking up knowing I don't have to go to work. We had already paid for the daycare this week so Wyatt is at school and I am home packing. Which makes me wonder...which is worse, work or packing?? LOL
I will admit I have taken a break (or two) today. As I go through things to pack them away, I am coming across so many unfinished projects and many more I never even got started on. I'll share this one with you. I purchased this cheesy monthly planner at Big Lots for $2 and with a little Photoshop magic, turned into something much cuter! (sorry for the crummy pics and the glare)
Ok, I gotta get back to my stacks of boxes and rolls of tape now. Reckon I am not so "free" after all.

A *Special* Musical Monday

Today is my and Jason's 5th anniversary...sorta. We went to the Justice of the Peace on our lunch break, got hitched and went back to work (hungry since we didn't have time to grab a bite, lol). Generally, we don't really celebrate this anniversary though. We celebrate the ceremony date which is Sept 6th. And sorry, no pics to share. It was a quickie wedding for sure!

Here is a special Musical Monday in honor of the occaision though. If I haven't mentioned before, Jason is a HUGE Bon Jovi fan and he insisted we have this song on the wedding CD we gave out as favors.
Always, Bon JOvi

Musical Monday

Just a song I love...
This is Your Life, Switchfoot
I actually saw these guys in concert about 10 yrs ago before they were widely known. Oh my, how time flies....

Max. Occupancy: 2!

I wish someone could adequately explain to Wyatt in toddler-ease that my bed was meant for 2 people, NOT 2 and a half. Ugh.
This week we had some pretty bad storms and ever since he is terrified of rain, lightening and thunder. It never bothered him before, but he is petrified now. Not only that, since some of the storms are happening in the middle of the night, he's afraid to sleep in his bed. He has been fighting bed time all week and most nights he ends up sleeping with us since we are just too exhausted to try to reason with him anymore.
I just want my bed back. I just want to sleep 6 (7 if I'm lucky) hours without him kicking me or pulling my hair. Is that asking too much?!

Photo Friday!

Just a quiet, happy little rain puddle...


that is before Wyatt comes along!

YEE-HAW!!

Guess who's moving back to Texas?
Jason accepted a new position and has to start Aug 4th! YIKES...what have we gotten ourselves into?? That means we have roughly 3 weeks to get packed up and shipped out. Goodness gracious, my head is swimming with all that needs to be done. If you can spare som prayers, please pray we can sell our house ASAP. We plan to stay with family until it does sell....bleh, but no way can we cover 2 mortgages.

AGHHHH! I don't really think this has fully hit me just yet....

Oh My Word!

What?!? Could it be? Two days of posting in a row?!
Why, yes....yes it is!
Just wanted to share some more pics. Photography makes me both happy and completely frustrated all at the same time, but if I get 2 or 3 usable shots out of 100 pics taken, I guess thats better than nothing!
