Something about Mondays

... that always seems to be worse than any other day. But I am determined to have a good day.

I looked in my closet and see zero options for casual clothes. I thought I had some, but it turns out that this girl is not interested in the slightest with long  heavy pants when it is over 80 degrees.

I stubbed my toe hard enough to break off a huge chunk of toenail (excuse me while I gag) causing it to really hurt and bleed a little bit.

Josie has decided that nap time is hilarious and it took almost an hour to get her to nap. Of course this only happened because I had something set up for right after her nap time, which is now postponed an entire hour. Thank you Miss Unreliable.

Did I mention it isn't even 11:00 yet?

We're still going to have a good day! I just know it!!

Case in point, this was for breakfast:

Chocolate chip pancakes, because we can. Hubby is gone for the week and never wants them, and I always seem to want them. So I made enough to last us at least three days and we are SET.

She's a fan, can't you tell? Hubby would also completely cringe at the sight of that mess. He hates (seriously HATES) feeding her food that is super messy. I'm not scared, though. Bring on the mess!

First day of many

We had a great day together yesterday. Unfortunately we were stuck inside, but knowing it is short lived (beautiful weather coming up this weekend), I managed to keep miss Jo occupied. We grocery shopped, cooked, and avoided Buckley's dog bowl successfully.

My family got me these pretty flowers with a note reading "Congrats on the new job! We know you'll be great!"  So there ya go. I have an awesome family.

In the morning, I brought Buckley to the vet for his annual check up. He's had a bit of an upset stomach the past couple of days so we've had to clean up a few messes. That intensified a ton when we got to the vet and I literally had to walk around with a paper towel (or three) cleaning up after him as he nervously tried to keep it together (unsuccessfully). Poor pup - we were all embarrassed and my stomach just about couldn't handle it.

Thankfully the vet gave us some meds to help him out and we are on the other side of whatever he has going on in his stomach.

Nothing better

... than a sunny day with these two.

Bittersweet

After four years, I've completed my last day at my job. I was so excited to be done, but now I'm a little sad and an itsy bitsy teeny bit nervous. What if I don't like staying at home? What if I can't keep Josie entertained and we drive each other crazy? What if I just plain drive myself crazy?

I never meant to work at a bank. I just needed a part time job and the hours and pay were way better than anything else I'd done. Once I got past the overwhelming learning stage, I realized that it was more challenging than the average college student job and loved that about it. Then I was graduating and had no clue what I wanted to do. Why not go full-time? I like it, and it's available right now. Two and a half years later and I'm finally closing the door on this chapter of my life.

So excited for the future. A lot of trust in God at this point since the unknown always seems overwhelming. But sometimes the unknown is good. So good.
