Why is it, that when you WANT to spend money on items such as shoes for your kid and window treatments, that you cannot find for the life of you, what you’re looking for? I mean, how hard is it to sell white and blue infant shoes, and have cool greenish window treatments in your store?

After two hours of shopping today (that’s a LONG TIME with a toddler) we went home with soap we didn’t really “need” and a cross to hang over the kitchen door. Yipee.

Guaranteed, the days I can only browse is when the the crap will hit the fan with a furry of things for me to buy. sigh. If only I had a life to write about interesting things.

Today was my last day at a job that I couldn’t stand. Mostly because of the industry it was in. The company is great, and for the most part, the people were cool too. I spent 7 years between two companies in the electronic component industry and know that is something I’ll never do again. Sissy la la’s.

See ya, old company with good pay, decent benefits, 401K, 14 days of vacation time per year and funny clown lovers I worked with!!

There’s nothing like a little cuddly baby. So cute, sweet, and most likely smells good. Except when they are sick. Really sick. There’s still nothing like a cuddly sick baby, but it’s so different.

What do they know? That they hurt, they cannot get comfy, mom and dad don’t understand what they’re yelling about (it’s clear to me morons!) and moaning doesn’t help.

What really tugs at your heart strings is when you have to leave them with someone else, and they reach out to you and cry as you walk out the door to go to work.

Ouch.

Last night, as if I didn’t feel bad enough for him, I heard “maaaama, maaaaaama” the entire time I left him to use the little girls room. Yeah, yeah, too much info. By the way, the kid NEVER says mama. At least dad got the honor to leave him behind today as he sobbed in his wonderful grandmother’s arms as he left to go to work. Tug a little harder kid, would ya?

There is one thing that I’ve learned in my life college. Stop being wage focused in your jobs, and do something you love. Since high school I’ve floated from job to job trying to increase my earnings. For what? To go home angry and frustrated every day? What a laugh that is now.

Since having my little Love Bug, I’ve been reborn in that I have been reminded of  the things that really matter most. I look into his eyes and smile back at him when he 6 tooth smiles at me and it clicks. Being happy! It’s just that simple. Get rid of all the negativity, smile more, give more, MAKE TIME FOR FAMILY…do an overhaul of everything that isn’t pleasing to you.

Anyway- back to the original reason for this post. I am very blessed to be able to finally do something I love. Taking care of babies and infants is something that I’ve always wanted to do, but lost sight of it to make more earnings. Thanks to my husband, and especially Mason for bringing me back to what matters most. Being happy. I’m the luckiest girl in the world.
