Work was actually pretty good today. I had a few issues to deal with, which helped move the morning alone. Tied up all of my usual end of the week loose ends, and then I had the afternoon off.
I was off to get groceries and a few last things for the shower tomorrow. I always get so nervous throwing parties like this - hoping everything goes well, hoping everybody has a good time and hoping that I don't forget anything or screw anything up. Pressure!!!!
After shopping, I was off to pick the girls up early - my mom seemed to have found the migraine I lost the other night, so I picked up my noisy toddlers and brought them home. I wrapped all of the prizes for the shower tomorrow, and started packing up all of the stuff I need to bring over there. I'll just have to cook a few of the food items in the morning, and I'll be ready to go! Fun, fun :)
Christian of course worked late, and we ate dinner as soon as he arrived home. He had a BIG surprise for me tonight...he was able to cash in some of his leave time at work early, and brought home a nice check. Such a huge relief, and I'm super impressed that he actually thought to ask about that. Some more good news, is that now that he's "staff", instead of "factory", the rules are a little different. In the factory, they received leave time, but it was pretty frowned upon to actually use it. Now that he's staff, their leave time doesn't roll over, or pay out, so they have to use it or lose it...and are actually expected to use it. SO, he's actually going to be able to start taking time off if the girls are sick or need to stay home for some reason. Since my time does roll over, it will be nice to save those hours/days since he has to use his anyway. That will be a nice little break.
After dinner, Christian was off to have a couple beers with a friend from work. I got the girls in bed, and spent the night updating the blog and catching up on some shows. Speaking of bed...Amelia is still doing amazingly with her big girl bed. She has fallen out a few times (we have her bed surrounded with pillows), so we are going to have to invest in a bed rail. Hopefully it will just be temporary, but she is such a wild sleeper, it will probably take time for her to learn to stay put. I can't believe how easy the switch was. She's never once tried to open the door or leave the room. She doesn't even really get out of the bed at all anymore. BIG GIRL indeed!
Today's Photo a Day in May is - Kitchen. These are a little old, but this is basically our kitchen. We do have a couple stools at the sink bar that aren't here. We still need to do a backsplash, put in new countertops and get a table and chairs for the breakfast nook, but I love our kitchen! It's open, bright, light. It's just perfect :)
That is a great kitchen! We have no windows in our kitchen and the one window we do have on our main level is not very close to the kitchen so it's often very dark. Not to mention, it's a super tiny square shape so it's not the best to work in, either.
