Being a good blogger

Ok, so I'm a good little girl and it's only been a week since my last blog (instead of a month). I deserve a cookie!

So, Sake is now no longer a part of our life. She was not getting along with Hooch, so we found her a good home with another kitty and NO DOGS. We just took her there today, and her new owners are happy to have her. I hope things go well and she is happier in her new home.

Things have been uber busy at work, I hardly have time to think! The good news is, I spoke to my boss and he's going to let me change my hours so I will be able to come in at 7 instead of 6 so I'm excited to start "sleeping in" for a change.

The kids are doing well, still being cute as ever. Reyna, Aidan, Tim and I all played "beauty parlor" yesterday. This game consisted of us sitting in child size chairs, while Reyna put spider clips in random places on our heads. Then, when she announced she was done, we exclaimed how pretty we looked....she was very proud of herself. Aidan has taken to fall off of and into every hard surface possible. In one day, he did a faceplant into the coffee table, then fell off of one of the end tables! He's going to be a stuntman....I'm so proud. :-(

Tim is doing well too, he's just been working and spending lots of time with the kids. We really missed them last week when we were at the sales conference, so it's good to be back to normal. Unfortunatly, he had to work last weekend so he is tired. However, we both get this weekend and Monday off! We haven't decided what we are going to do with all this time off (although part of it will be spent doing schoolwork).

Oh yea, and the final member of our family, Tim's Dad Mike. Well, we haven't seen him much in the last week or so. He's decided that we eat too late (6 PM) and it inturrupts his "sleep schedule" so he's been eating before we get home, and is in bed before we get home. So....we don't see him. I am growing increasingly worried about his health, and now that he isn't eating with us, I'm concerned that he will not get his one "good" meal a day. Tim is of the opinion that it isn't our business and he has chosen to stay out of it, but I think he is worried too. Not sure what we can do though, after all, he is "old" and set in his ways (his words).

It's been awhile

Ok, so I'm the worst blogger ever... I'm soooo sorry. Anyway, things have been very hectic lately! We had our yearly sales conference (of which I was invited to!) and Tim and I had a blast. The problem was.... we had a dinner or "event" every night since Saturday! Needless to say, we are exhausted. Today is the first "normal" day....I just can't wait to get some sleep! We did really fun things, like go to the Suite at the Diamondbacks game, Casino night (I won a Tom Tom!) and EAT EAT EAT. During the day, I had to go to the conference, and I got to learn all about Comtech products and such. It was a great learning experience, and I look forward to my new position. They are already talking about me making small trips to meet customers, and we talked about all of the things we can do this year. It's going to be a great year!

On the home front, we are going to have to get rid of Sake, our new kitty. We have had her for over a month, and she is still TERRIFIED of Hooch. I guess she just doesn't like dogs... Anyway, we have found her a new home, with no dogs, but another kitty, and we will be taking her there this weekend. We are going to miss her, but we are glad we found her a good home with no dogs. The kids are doing ok. They really missed us this week and started acting up. So, we are going to be spending even more quality time with them this week, to make up for it. Tim and I both also missed them so much, and we are glad the conference is over so that we can get back to normal again!
