So, after I went to bed last night, I was thinking that I did have other updates. Major one...my shift has been temporarily changed to earlier at work. This is great....now I get off when it is still daylight. And today, my lead taught me how to do something new. It kept my day moving right along. The three other girls that started with me are all looking for other jobs. One of them wants better hours and better pay, but through the grapevine, she ain't worth the pay she is making now. Another is gossipy and I avoid her at all cost. The other has been out sick and came back yesterday. She wishes she had been looking while she was home sick. There ain't many jobs out there. Anyway, it is all going great for me at work.
Joshua was grumpy this morning because he had to get up an hour and a half earlier than normal. He was so grumpy, he argued with Jeff over everything this morning. And had a mini-melt down when we got to school. At dinner tonight, he ate and ate and ate. Spaghetti. When he was all done, he looked like he had a clown smile. He also played with markers today at school and his hands are blue. One hand is almost good. The other hand...will just have to lighten with time. Even with a bath, the one is still blue.
Jeff's work has been slow lately. S-l-o-w. Since Christmas he has probably only worked about 1/4 of the time he should have. Not good. Not good at all. His work is thinking that it may be March before things pick up again. Not good. Not good at all.
I put in 20 minutes on the wii fit tonight, for the first time in a week and a half. I am finally feeling like my breathing is good enough to do the exercises.
Guess that's it for today.

Only Tuesday
I am so ready for this weekend to get here. I don't even know why, I don't have anything major going on. Just my normal trip to the grocery store.
Today at work, they trained me how to do 3 more things. So far, they haven't trained anyone else from my training class to do anything but make calls. I actually enjoyed the supporting documentation that I worked today. It wasn't as slow as just working Credit Balance Worksheets. It was an exciting day for me at work. I love to learn new things, especially when I have a great teacher. Some people think they can teach but all they know how to do is tell.
We ate spaghetti at home tonight, Jeff's favorite (yea right!). It was okay, but I had bought a different sauce that I usually do and I didn't really care for it much. It almost had a canned spaghetti sauce taste like Chef Boyardee. Oh well, I will buy my usual brand from now on. Joshua loved dinner tonight. I cut him off because I thought he had eaten too much and he threw a fit. He fussed until he heard the word bath and then headed to the bathroom to take a bath. Tonight we tried out his new toothpaste. He is really liking "brushing" his teeth. It is going better than I thought it would. He has become a pro at running his toothbrush under the water. I think primarily to fill it up with more water that he can suck out, but hey, at least he is getting the general idea. So far, so good.
I have put in my 30 minutes on the Wii Fit and it is way past my bedtime, so I will cut it short.

Monday, Monday
The first Monday of the 2009! You know, come to think of it, this past weekend was the first weekend of 2009! It was rainy all day. The rain froze in the trees giving the trees in the parking lot at work a winter wonderland effect. But now that it is dark, it is finally warm enough for all the icicles to start melting. Yea...that's right. Warmer at 8pm than it was at 3pm. Makes no sense to me either. And because they are melting, there is snow chance of an ice day tomorrow. Dang it!
This morning at Joshua's school he was entranced by the book the teacher was reading when we got there. He had to stand facing her while I took his jacket off. Oh yea, and I got in his way and he had to step aside to see the book. I took him over and sat him down by Chloe and he was fascinated by this book. Maybe it was the whole story time thing, I don't know. He never pays that much attention to me when I read him books, but perhaps it is my tactic. I will review this in the coming days and report back. As I was leaving, a little boy named Zachary in his class said, "well bye." He is a character! And already potty trained and he doesn't turn two until like March or so. He has the best speech in the class followed by Joshua which is funny to the teacher because they are the two youngest boys. Now, if I could just get Joshua potty trained....can't I just snap my fingers and it happen?? Looking back, it seems I didn't report on Joshua's first on the little potty experience.....
So, it was Dec 27th. He had been a farting machine. We kept asking if he was going potty and he kept saying potty and pulling at his diaper. I asked if he wanted to use his potty chair. He was so excited. He pushed it over to me in the living room. I pulled his pants off and took the diaper off and sat him on the potty. The pee guard wasn't in place so I had to attach that. He sat there for a minute and then started fussing. We told him he had to sit there for a few minutes. He fussed the whole time. The closest book I could find to start reading to him was his Bible he had just gotten for Christmas. So we read two Bible stories while he fussed. He never got up, he just sat there and fussed. No other action was happening, so Jeff took him to his room and put a diaper on him. He pooped about 10 minutes later. Lovely story huh?!?
Not much else to report on. I need to get some laundry going for tomorrow and get my Wii Fit time in so that's it for now.
