work

I have completed two weeks of training at work. I know a lot of information about accidental death and dismemberment insurance and how to help the credit union members who have it when they call in, well at least I hope I do. I have felt like I was back in school. I think I understand what I am doing and one of the other girls in my class said she thought I knew what I was doing. We found out that we will start taking a few calls from actual members who need help, not just practice calls. I knew we would be out on the floor on February 14, so it came as a shock for Wednesday, I guess I am ready. I know that the first few will be nerve wrecking but I think I can do it. I am just really praying that this turns into a permanent job. I really don't want to have to go back to searching for a job in June ( I'm there till then).
I have been coming home tired in the evenings- mental- and by last night I was fried. I didn't want to even make dinner- it sounded like too much work. I would have loved ordering a pizza or even getting subs from sub city. That is not what happened however, we had dinner at home, I however had a ton of help from Ruben. It was a teaching opportunity. He made dinner and I told/showed him how to do it. It worked out well.
I don't know if I have a ton of energy today, there are several things that I would like to do today/this weekend. I am beginning to think that my list is too grand. I would like to get a haircut, work on the Christmas tree skirt, work on my model (yes, I said model. I started it last Friday night, its a 33' Ford. Russ and Ruben looked like they were having fun doing theirs that I wanted to try it.) and I want to do my valentine project- I got everthing for it, just need to do it, plus I need to go grocery shopping and make a menu for next week.
I guess I should get started :-)

Saturday Morning

This is the last weekend of "vacation." I get to start work on Monday. I am looking forward to it actually, while it would be nice to be a stay at home wife, I'd rather work now so when the day comes (not yet) I can stay home with my babies. To celebrate my new job I am going to buy a new lunch bag- you know like you do at the beginning of the school year. I can't tell you when the last time I actually had a lunch box. I used a gift bag for a long time so I think it is needed.

I have been working out. Today is my day off- basically because I would have to get up way too early to have alone time with the tv. I absolutely hate having people watch me work out. So one day off isn't going to hurt me. I am beginning to see a small difference. I will continue to workout and get in shape.



I am excited for this evening. Russ is taking me out on a date. It has been a very long time since we have gone on a date. I am not sure where we are going to eat or what we are going to do. But I am sure we are going to have a good time.



I am still working on Ruben's Christmas tree skirt and plan to work on it today. I am ready to be done with it and start a new project. Soon, hopefully soon.



I have trained my dog Attawolf in a way I am not sure was a good thing. Whenever I take him out to pee or poop when he comes in I give him a treat. Most of his treats are in an old cheese ball tub (the really big one from Sam's) and the tub sits on the floor in the dining room. Yesterday afternoon I took him outside and he didn't do anything except sniff around for squirrels and rabbits. It was very cold so we came in. He went right to his treat tub and sat there looking at it and then me. I preceeded to tell him that he didn't do anything out there why should he get a treat. However you cannot reason with a dog so I ended up giving him a treat. But I have trained him- outside and come in you get a treat. I guess it's not too bad if he actually takes care of business. I do love my puppy and I'll keep him anyways.

Time for coffee and cinnamon rolls.....
