betsy got a job

yep, thats right the lazy housewife got a job...i started working part time this week at fowler state bank as a teller. i didn't really want to get a job, but we could use the $$$, and it was an easy in, so why not, right? let me tell you, i did not anticipate it to be a difficult job, but there is soooooooo much that you have to remember. i am finally starting to get the hang of it after 3 days, but still i am not that comfortable with it. today was my first day running my own drawer and it went pretty smoothly, that is until the end of the day when we balance our drawers. somehow i was off by $21.53, that is i had too much $$$ in my drawer, lol.....i guess that is better than having too little : ) but still i felt like a dumb dumb....but shit happens, right? hopefully monday will be a better day, and i am sure it will be...

in all honesty the hardest part of having a job is being away from my boys...granted, they are right across the street from me, and i do get to see them on my lunch break, and they are with 2 of the most amazing women i have ever known, but it still sucks to be away from them.......when i am away from them so much, it just makes me realize what i am missing out on, and appreciate even more, all of the time that i do get to spend with them. being a mom is such a blessing...a gift from god, and i am thankful everyday that i have 2 amazing little boys! i don't know what i would do without them.

honestly, maybe i have had a couple of drinks tonite, and that is what got the blogging going, but i needed a couple drinks after a long 3 days of working. i mean, come on now, i haven't had a job in a long friggin' time....what do you all expect??? lol a wise man once told me a drunk mans tongue speaks a sober mans mind...well that might have been my baby brother who said that, but still... (not that i would necessarily call myself drunk but, maybe a lil buzzed : ) ) anyway hopefully this all sounds good when i read it in the morning, lol hopefully i didn't make too much of an ass of myself...not that it matters much, because i seem to do that quite often anyways. well, thats all i have for tonite/this a.m. i better get to bed, because i am sure nic will be getting up at the crack of dawn just to punish me for drinking a few beers, lol........thats just how it goes when you are a mommy

until we meet again...b

big boy bed and 4 month check up

NIC's NEW BED

last night joe converted nic's crib into a toddler bed...i know, i know, its a long time coming. yes he is 2 1/2 and was still sleeping in a crib, lol but i'm not ready for my baby to be all grown up yet, darn it! anyway, he did really good. didn't even get out of it one time in the middle of the night, and when he woke up this morning, he waited for us to come and get him. i'm sure this wont last long, and he will probably be in our room multiple times throughout the night any day now : ) when we get the upstairs finished and he gets his new room, we are gonna get him a race car bed! and he is very excited about this, just ask him : )

checking out his new bed

nice and cozy!

LINCOLN'S 4 MONTH CHECK-UP

yesterday was the day of lincoln's 4 month check up too. this was the first time linc met his new doctor, dr. miller. she is very good, but we still miss dr. mann : ( anyways, he is growing like a weed. he is up to 19lbs and is 26 1/4 inches long. i like to compare his measurements to nic's at the same age. surprisingly linc is only 5 oz lighter than nic was and is 1/4 in. longer. i know that linc is a big boy, but it seems like nic was so much bigger than linc is. linc's first time in the jumperoo. nic loved this thing, but linc isn't too crazy about it yet.

happy birthday daddy

on thursday it was joe's birthday, he turned the big 29. uh oh, only one more year until he is really old : ) nic and i made him a cake. i didn't look the greatest (maybe i should take some lessons from my mom, the cake baking professional), but it tastes pretty good!

look at all those candles!

nic helped blow them out...got them all on the first try!

happy birthday daddy!

last of the warm days

recently we spent some time outside enjoying the nice and mild weather that we had been having...emphasis on had, as i have a feeling that the cold is here to stay...brrrrrrrr!!! i love the fall and it was nice to have some extra warm days to enjoy before the cold winter months settle in. ugh, how i hate being cold!my cute little man enjoying the nice day...

hey don't hit me, hit the ball!nic and joe playing on the slide brothers!all of my boys : )

linc's first taste of real food...

well, i guess i wouldn't consider it real food...not like he ate a cheeseburger or anything like that. but he did get his first taste of something other than breast milk or formula. last friday, on the day he turned 4 months, i gave him his first taste of rice cereal. he did pretty good with it, and he is starting to get the hang of the whole eating experience : )the first bite

mmmmm...this stuff isn't too bad!

election day

get out there and vote people!!! let your voices be heard! god bless the USA!!!!

GO McCAIN!!!

Halloween!!!

i can't believe it has come and gone already. next thing ya know its gonna be christmas, my goodness! we had a great halloween this year. nic is starting to understand the concept, so he really got into it this year for the first time. lincoln could have really cared less, but there is not many things that are cuter than a baby in a costume!

nic is obsessed with thomas the train right now. he wasn't too sure about actually putting the costume on though, so we had to bribe him with a lolly pop : ) after that though, it was game on!! let me tell you a secret, candy goes a long way with a 2 year old! all aboard : )lincoln was dressed as a little lion, its actually the same costume nic wore as a baby. he looked so cute! rawr!my boys all dressed up!

halloween family shot : )

hope everyone had a safe and happy halloween!
