Hell's Kitchen and Wicked

Had a blast last night with Terryn Weygandt and Loreen Freeberg.  We went to Hell's Kitchen and then to see Wicked at the Orpheum.  Hell's kitchen was pretty cool but my meal didn't have much flavor. I ordered the shrimp scampi, it was a pasta dish. I'm only telling you this so that if you go to eat there you know that if you're looking for a bland type if meal then you can get the shrimp. 

Wicked was amazing. Fiyero was easy on the eyes but wasn't as good as the last one. Regardless it was still amazing. I love hanging out with Terryn and Lori. Two amazing women. 

New cars and the blessings of hard work and financial independence.

My husband sold his truck last week and this week we are getting two new cars. We are selling my car soon too. It was a family decision. We didn't necessarily need two new cars but we decided it was a smart decision before something crazy went wrong with mine and most importantly my car wasn't very easy to work with in getting jacks new car seat in it. So here we are buying new cars in cash because we have been smart with our money.  I am so grateful and feeling so blessed. 

So funny

Today is a day of newness.  Really everyday is new. I put jack down for his nap at 11:30 and he has been playing in his crib since he woke up at 12. Hilarious. I guess when I go get him he will be hungry and then tired right away. The routine is messy today but I know how to distract this little rascal. Muahhaahhhhahhhahhhahh!!!!!

Still settling in.

Jacks new thing these days is making a fist and tapping it on things. It's quite funny. I also think teething night have started. Not really sure since babies are different. 

John we went to visit dad at work some he has prep time today starting at 2. 

It was fun. 

Settling in

I'm not sure if ill ever feel settled in. I find myself thinking about work even though I don't really miss it. 

Jack is growing and doing something new everyday. I have to admit sometimes I find myself impatient and annoyed and I have to take a deep breath and remember that he is on his journey that God has planned.  Each day is so new to him. As I'm writing this I realize that I can learn a lot from him. Each moment is new and filled with wonder. I could take a page from his book and look at the world  and each moment with wonder as if its all new. 

Stress, didn't realize how much energy I was using for work.

Yesterday was one of the most relaxing days I have had in a long time. I didn't think that I really had that much energy going into work but I guess I did. I was exhausted yesterday! I felt my body relax and it was amazing. At the same time I had to give myself permission to take a day off from my Mary Kay business. My old patterns creeped up again though and I tried to force myself to do one thing in my business.  It wasn't the wisest decision I've ever made because I was so tired. My friend Teresa Romain taught me the concept that the energy you put out is mirrored in the results that you get back. Well, tired phone calls didn't happen, but from experience I can tell you that I have had not great results from making calls when I need rest. What I can say is I feel relief, peace, relaxed, open, free....yes free is the dominant feeling. 

I am about to leave to see the insurance agent about our health insurance coverage after my work insurance is done this month. I am so grateful that I am financially ready for this time in our lives and that I can enjoy our son and my life.  I LOVE my life!!

All done, sad and excited all at the same time.

Today was my last day at work and it was so sad. I cried when I left as I was driving home. I worked with some incredible people. I will miss them and I hope that they read this and know.  

I am learning that god had put me in all the right places at the right time and that all things work out the way they are supposed to. I will do my best to walk on faith and trust the process that lies ahead.  Stay tuned!!!

Less than 2 hours left and so much to do!!!

I promise in not trying to take time out to write in the blog. I have to pun every 3 hours and I actually bring work with me into the mothers room but I finished it!! ;-). It's going by too fast!  I will miss my friends!
