Update #2... in 30's

Work: has been a mess pretty much since i started in may after mat leave. I worked a month at ernh then jumped to full time 12s at t.v. stayed there for a couple months then got it in my head i should go back to wsch because it was so good there 6 years ago face palm things were really good at t.v, good schedule, good environment & in one decision i screwed it all up and ended up in a place with poor management & full of aggression & physical/ verbal assaults by patients. I felt more like a c.o then nurse’s aide. working a night shift recently, if my coworker hadn’t intervened i would have been punched… that was the end for me. i’ve applied to go back to ernh into a part time 8 & have been accepted. downside is the financial cut of going full time to part time but i can’t afford to get hurt & i hate to admit it but i was losing compassion for the job which is not who i am. i start on the 12th & my last day at wsch is monday night but with my surgery recovery i might just call it off.

Jas: had 2 appointments wednesday. one for her eyes & one for dentist. her eyes are getting worse. She’s been wearing glasses since about 6 months ago & this was her follow up. Stronger lenses have been ordered. Her school does a varnish program & it said she had a cavity so we had that checked & she doesn’t! Yay! :) she’s grown up so much since the summer.

Kas: seems older than her actual age. she’s almost 20 months & so wise. So smart. She helps put her diapers in the garbage & puts her dirty laundry in her hamper. Even puts shoes on boot track & helps with unloading the dish washer. We’re working on E.C.. she’s started using the potty since about 14 months & really good with it. She’s currently on the potty taking a poop :) We took away the baby gate today as it always stayed open. She goes up & downstairs all by herself. She’s just bigger than her age. Florin does have to put the crib down lower as she was in her crib this morning & fell? out. I went to her & she was standing there, in her room.

instant pot: got one from jo wed? along with a pots & pans set. She had bought a 2nd one & seen that I was doing all this posting on facebook & joining groups lol. Didn’t even have an i.p at the time but i was everywhere, i was stuck in bed so i was pinteresting & facebooking about it so much. I even posted on a garage sale site i was looking for one & then she messaged me & told me i could have hers. I’ve been using it SO much! i’ve made hard boiled eggs twice, chili, & today for lunch; spaghetti & sauce. it’s so easy to use & i like that i don’t have to stir it etc. i’m always stuck for ideas on what to feed kids other than mac & cheese & grilled cheese. kas is our best eater. jas has turned picky & adams not as picky as he used to be but he’s just not a big eater. he’s healthy but he’s skinny. so yeah it’s been easy to incorporate more meals :)

vacation: mom & dad are leaving for a cruise around the 10th? till 30th? they’re not on the cruise the whole time but they’re going to minot & florida for a bit. Me & Florin are going to do something for a couple’s vacation & leave kids with mom & dad but no idea what we want to do which has been the case since the summer. we didn’t know if we wanted to do resort or cruise but can’t find anything under 4000/person. auntie tracey, uncle doug & cousins are looking at a trip around the same time & we’ve considered going with them but who knows. the other option is we have a friend in the states, michigan, who we haven’t seen in a few years but her receptions end of june so we are planning to go there but maybe skip the winter vacay & extend the michigan one. Drive for 24 hrs with hotel stays one way there then back including a stop through niagara falls & finding a concert or 2 along the way. i actually think i prefer option 2 just because we are no closer to reaching on a conclusion on where to go. after a while it almost seems like a fight thats not worth winning.

reading: i made a goal of reading 50 pages a day & preferably 2 books at a time so 50 pages out of each book/day. I like reading but i get distracted by tv etc. & having 3 kids lol. I’m reading a VC Andrews book called Dawn & another one by Debbie Macomber called 16 lighthouse road. I made a goodreads goal to read 24 books this year. It would be nice to surpass that.

I want to write more this year then last year preferably every day. Once life starts happening it’s hard to write it all down & then everything just gets away.
