working mama

well, i just got a job!! woot woot! i'm going to be working at the front desk at the homewood suites in midvale. one of my old friends that i used to work with posted on facebook that they were looking for a full time employee, and i had been contemplating going back to work anyway. i love being a stay at home mom more than anything but between mine and seeley's dr bills and rey's recent er visit our savings has been getting lower and lower. as you all know we are living in my parents house and the idea was to save money so we could have a decent savings and have a bunch of money to put on a down payment.. well that is not happening right now so i'm going back into the working world. plus, as rey gets further into school it's getting a little harder and i'd love to make things easier for him, especially if he can drop some shifts at work and mostly concentrate on school because that is going to be the number one way in which we better things for ourselves.

so yeah, i'm pretty excited to get things going, but a little nervous at the same time. i'll be working 4, 8 hour shifts a week, which means 4 days a week rey is going to put seeley to bed and that makes me a little sad since i've always been there to help and have always read him his bedtime story. i know rey will be fine since he is so good with seeley and seeley loves him but it still makes me a little sad. i mean, i've spent every single day with seeley for the past year. in the end, i know seeley will be fine with his daddy and having extra money will be awesome! well, i think that's all that's new for me.

the bad and good news

well, first i shall go with the bad news! the other day seeley got a hold of a spoon and decided it was his new favorite toy, in fact he is still holding it now. basically he was carrying it around with him all day. after playing with seeley outside i picked him up and began walking towards the door and pulled out my cell phone to look at the time. seeley decided it would be a fun idea to hit my phone with said spoon and my phone went flying out of my hands and right onto the cement stairs of my porch. yep, my screen cracked, and it cracked bad! i can sort of use it, but not really. luckily rey gets paid today so we are going to get it fixed today, but it will be a sucky $150 to fix it, which basically means that we don't really have any extra spending money this month. plus, i hate spending money on myself these days. i love buying things for seeley and i feel like i am taking away from him by having to fix my phone. basically it's lame and really depressing me, but it is what it is.

well, now onto the good news! i have a ONE year old! it is so crazy how fast one year goes by when you have a child. it's funny because on those nights when you are up all night with a crying newborn and only getting 1-2 hours of sleep at a time you feel like this time will never come, but here we are. pretty sure i'm the luckiest mom ever because i got blessed with the coolest little guy ever! he already has a silly and goofy personality and he just gets smarter every single day. this past year has been so fun and so amazing to watch and see this little guy grow and explore the world around him. plus there is absolutely nothing better than a snuggle from your little one, especially when they only want to snuggle with you! seriously though, it's the best! basically i can't get enough of this guy and i look forward to so many more years with him. anywho! that is all!
