What a Month! (so far!)

Holy Cow!! Can this month be over already? Today it is only half way there and I'm ready for December!!

OK, let me start at the beginning....

On Monday the 1st;
I wake up not feeling that good. I start to think I might take the day off of work. Soon after getting going for the day I get a text from my boss that my co-worker had been arrested over the weekend for stealing a truck, recking it into someones garage and he was drunk! Oh, Sammy was only 18! So, I knew I had to go into work since there was only 3 of us and now one is in jail. She also tells me that my cousin (who had applied to work there) needed to start that day to cover for Sam. I give her a text to tell her she will start and give her the info and that I would take her home after work. The rest of the day goes pretty good, even though I still didn't feel to well.

Wednesday the 3rd;
I get word that they hired a new guy to take Sammy's spot and my cousin seems to not take it too well. She was hired to work one hour a day for four days a week and since she was covering for Sammy she had been working 3.5 hours a day. So with the new guy starting she would go back to one hour. We texted for a little while and she decided she would keep working.

Thursday the 4Th;
She did a no call no show! Now, you have to understand.... there were only three of us working there and the work load is crazy. My boss didn't even really want to hire her but I went in and talked to her and told my boss that she could really use the money from this job. My boss agreed to hire her and give her a shot. Then, she did this! I texted her like crazy and no word, my boss tried and nothing. Then later that night she hits me up on facebook about why she did that and blah blah blah.

Friday the 5Th;
I have to go in and train the new guy, which sucks since I don't work Fridays. I tell my cousin to call and talk to the boss, which she doesn't do. It upset me so much because I put myself out there to my boss over her and she just didn't care. So, I don't know if they called it as she quit or if they fired her.

Saturday the 6Th;
The weekend goes pretty well. Matt and I went to one of my cousin's birthday party at a bar with some of our friends and had a blast. Matt and i don't really get to drink together since one of us a usually a DD. My mother in law drove us home to Tooele at the end of the night, which was awesome!

Sunday the 7Th;
I was sick all day! :-) That night Matt started his night shift. I didn't sleep all night, it was awful.

Monday the 8Th;
Matt got home a little after the kids got up. It was so hard to get going on no sleep, but I knew I had to.

Tuesday the 9Th;
No sleep!

Wednesday the 10Th;
No sleep! I could take it anymore! I was completely exhausted!!! I got up when Matt got home got dressed and Matt had made the comment that he thought my sister should watch the kids that day while I went to work. I don't know why but I flipped out. I got the kids ready and left the house early. I cried the whole drive to my mom's. I cried the whole time I was at my mom's. And I didn't even know why I was crying?! I remember sitting there crying and saying "why am I crying?" I couldn't go into work like that. I sent my boss a text and she told me that my co-worker (the new guy) had called in too. I fault stuck! But I knew I had to call in. She said it was OK and I loaded the kids and went back home. I cried the whole drive home. When I got home I woke up Matt and we sat and talked, it was great! He totally understood and helped my with the kids for the rest of the day. That night he helped me put the kids to bed and he gave me 2pm pills and told me to get some sleep that night.

Thursday the 11Th;
They worked!!!! I woke up feeling great! Thank God! I felt like I was having a mental break down! Thursday flew by.

Sunday the 14Th;
We had our family pictures done!! So excited for that one! It was my whole family, mom and dad, Jessica and her family, Jason and his family, and of coarse my little family. We went to Wheeler Farm. We hired a guy that does all of my friends the Romney's family photos. He was awesome! I can't wait to show everyone.

Monday the 15Th;
I think I am finally getting use to sleeping alone. I slept through the night, thank god! I'll have to wait and see how the rest of today goes. But so far, I feel great today. :-)

I hope this month turns around for me. It has been rough so far. P.S. I'm over the whole thing with my cousin, she's only 15 and I remember how it is when your that young.

Patrick's first hair cut

After Halloween we decided it was time for Patrick to get a hair cut. He has needed one for a while! I was having a hard time letting go of his baby curls. :-( Sad! So Sunday night we put him in his high chair, so we could stap him in, and cut his hair. He was ok at first he just didn't like when we got by his ears. Then I think he just got fed up with all of it and he started crying. It was so sad, all I could do is sing to him to try to get his mind on something else. It seemed to work for a minute or so but when I pulled out the camera it just made him mad again! He looks so different now! He looks so big!




I saved some of his curls.

Halloween 2010

This year for Halloween Matt and I decided we wanted to do a family costume, so we all matched. I thought the oompa loompa's off of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory would be easy to make and Matt could be Willy Wonka. Some where down the line my whole family thought we were all going to be oompa loompas and my brother in law wanted to be Willy Wonka. So last minute change, we had to think of something else for Matt to wear. Every year I get a magazine of costumes I can buy on line. Matt looked through it and decided Patrick and him could go as Mario and Luigi. I looked at the costumes and decided it would be easy to make. Friday morning I got up early, got the kids ready and went to the store (oh, Friday October 22). Thank goodness I don't work Fridays! I got home and every chance I had, between feeding, changing, napping the kids, I sewed our costumes. That night Matt went out with the guys in my family so I had the kids all day! So I worked into the night! Matt got home around 11 pm and brought me a monster drink. I finally called it quite at 2am and went to sleep. The kids woke me up at 7:30am so I went back to sewing. I finished everything around 2:45pm with 15 minutes to get ready to go to our neighbors for a pumpkin carving party. I can't lie, it was a lot of work but I had a blast doing it, plus we saved sooo much money from me making them instead of buying it. Then after we changed our minds on Matt's costume, my family didn't go as oompa loompas or Willy wonka. Oh well. I have to say I was really proud of myself! I also made my mom's (she was an oompa loompa also) and she won best costume at our family party. That's two years in a row that the costume I designed and make won best costume! I love Matt and Patrick's hats, people thought I bought them, nope I make them!
