RAIN RAIN GO AWAY!!!

It has been raining here for what seems like FOREVER!!! It has quite literally been raining all day long today and they predict that it will rain more in the next few days! I thought it was Spring time. A time when the weather is suppose to be beautiful. Not sad and depressing. Stupid April showers! RAIN RAIN GO AWAY and once you are gone stay away. Oh well. At least it keeps me from having to water my lawn.

PART-TIMER

I am officially a part-time cosmetologist. I had planned on going back to work full-time after I had Everett, but James and I have decided that it would be best if I went back part-time. I wasn't sure how I would feel about it but I LOVE IT!!!! I am only working 3 days a week now Thursday, Friday and Saturday. I am so blessed to be able to have a family that I love and a job that I love as well and I get to have a balance between the two. I know that not a lot of people are lucky enough to have flexible jobs so I really feel blessed. There has only been one down side. I am having a hard time getting all of my clients in. They definitely have to either pre-book or call WAY ahead of when they want their appointment. It makes me feel bad, but not bad enough to go back to working full-time any time soon. I worry that I will lose a lot of clients but I don't want to give up any time with E. I am learning how to get in more than one client at a time which is working out well. We will see how it goes!!

My "Guard" Dogs

As many of you know James and I have two vbig dogs Camry and Rory. Our dogs have always been the type to lick a total stranger to death instead of bark at them. This always lead me to wonder whether or not they would protect me if there was an intruder or something. Today I found out the answer to my question. James and I are having a sprinkler system put in (finally - only 6 years late but whatever). I woke up this morning and looked out the window and all was normal. The dogs were in the yard playing and Everett and I were hangin in the house. A few hours later I looked out the back window again and there were flags all over he yard! The sprinkler guy had come out and flagged the whole yard. Do you know what this means? This means that a total stranger opened my back gate (where my two 70+ pound dogs were) and walked around the back yard putting his flags down while the dogs just watched him. They never let me know he was back there! I had no idea! Some guard dogs. Guess it's a good thing we have an alarm system since they aren't good for anything but hangin out, being cute and releasing those disgusting dog farts. Good thing I love them so much.

All good things must come to an end.

Well the time has come. I have to return to work. "Maternity leave" is over as of tomorrow. I have been off for one full month and can't believe how fast it went. It's funny how I can dread something and look forward to something at the same time. I dread having to leave him but am thankful to be getting out of the house and back into a routine again. I also look forward to making a little money. We are gonna be broke soon if I don't go back. I am thankful that James was able to tweak his schedule enough that the first 2 weeks I am back at work he will be home with Everett. I am also thankful that after that I am blessed to have great friends caring for him. What a blessing. Well - Wish me luck! Hope I still know how to cut hair. LOL

BTW - This is Everett's one month old picture!
