Day 2 with a Different Shoe

It rhymed, what can I say? Plus I did wear different shoes today then yesterday. 1 hour to go and my second day will be complete. Today there were several glitches that popped up.

First being I do not own a lot of "business casual" attire. Not sure why they call it that. There isn't much "casual" to it. I will be repeating pants several times. I threw in a load of laundry at 11 last night, and threw that load into the dryer at 6 this morning. I think my pants are tighter and shorter.

Due to my ride (which I totally appreciate!) we were late to work this morning and that already puts me on edge. Other little things were bumpy throughout the morning, but all in all it's been another lovely day in my one-week career as the front desk girl!

The day goes by pretty quickly and I have yet to be bored! I am getting to know people's names and how to work with them which is great! Less then an hour to go and I'm not dreading tomorrow. Wonder of wonders! Praise be to God!

SOLD

It seems as if the unexpected, most shocking events that happen in life come during the mundane moments. 6 weeks ago our little family was sitting around the dinner table. It was no different than any other typical dinner with 2 preschoolers. Chips, salsa, taco sauce, and beef were flying around the table, drinks were spilling, and siblings were screaming at each other. Nothing unusual. Chuck and I began catching up on our days. He’s usually very easy to read, but this particular night, I had not sensed anything out of the ordinary. Halfway through dinner, he looked me straight in the face and said, “I lost my job.” The chaos around me faded into the background, a buzz began sounding in my ears, and my body began tingling from head to toe. I stared into Chuck’s face as the room around him became blurry. At first the shock was my comfort. Numbness took over my ability to feel. The shock wore off at 2:37 that morning. I was jolted out of a sound sleep, the pain so immens...

One Name

Jase was seven months old. The number was so high on the thermometer the nurse advised me to swiftly get him out of his car seat and strip his clothes off. We then moved to a back room where I waited for the doctor. The room was warm. Stuffy. The air felt thick with heat. I wished there was a window to be opened. The stale room needed fresh air. Pricks of sweat started to itch my back. (Minutes before his first seizure.) When the doctor finally appeared, I gave the rundown of Jase’s symptoms. She carefully examined him as he laid atop the white, crackly paper on the table. Everything seemed to check out. As she walked back to her desk, something frightened me about the way Jase looked. He was still lying on his back. His eyes were open, but the life inside him seemed gone . His eyes didn’t move, they just stared off into the distance. His chest moved up and down with short breaths. His arms and legs were limp. Everything seemed to slow down to an other worldly pac...

My Baby Girl

A couple weeks ago my Aunt Keren and Grandma came out East, stayed with us, and then we met up with my Mom's side of the family for my cousin's wedding in NJ. After the fun wedding festivities and a few days at the beach, they came back to my parent's. One of the nights we had a fire bowl, and sat outside talking for awhile. Grandma was really missing her pup, so she scooped Jovie up. That night she wanted nothing to do with sitting on my lap, but she cozied right up with Gram. It was super precious. I love this picture of the two of them together. Right now Jovie is actually sick and it breaks my heart. I get so worried about her, which I know seems goofy because "she's just a dog". But she's my baby girl and I hate seeing her lethargic, and puking. The other bummer is that the vet is expensive, so we're trying to take the cheapest route, and are praying she gets better within the next 48 hours. Poor little thing. Th...
