I am so excited to finally announce: I have a job that I am thrilled about!!! I can't talk about them too much but can give you all a quick rundown.
I have been lucky enough to be connected with a family that needed care for their two boys: ages 3 and 15 months. The whole family is sweet - just sweet. I will be caring for them in my home M, W, F and in their home T & Th. This situation is so nice. I get to spend all day with my kids and make money caring for other people's as well! I did 2 part-time days this week. I'm doing 2 part-time days next week. We have the following week off since they will be out of town and I start full-time days August 25. YAY!
I had a childcare position before (from August - November last year) that didn't work out. Long story short: The mom gave me some lame excuse telling me she didn't know if I could handle 3 kids (her 2, my 1) at once. It came out of nowhere and I didn't know what to think about it. A while later, she told me she was insecure in her own being as a mother and the previous reason for letting me go was what she could come up with. Her son told me he loved me and that he always wanted me there. He also told his mom and dad that he wanted Graycen and I to live there and I was a "great mommy." The mom had a hard time with that and as a result, she actually quit her job to stay home with her kids.
I had a really hard time with this because I felt it was unfair. I would think that because her son cared for me so much that would be a great thing. I was doing something right. Not until i really thought about it, did I realize I didn't know how I would feel if I were in the same position. I discovered it would probably be something really hard to deal with. Especially if, financially, I didn't need to work (which the mom didn't)
If you're wondering, I didn't post this on here before because I didn't want to have any bad blood between the mom and I.
After that I slid into my spot at Best Buy since I was already minimal part-time there for the season. I stayed until Parker was born. I happened to get lucky and get this new position while I was on maternity leave from Best Buy.

It's official!
I just wanted to announce:
I am officially a Tupperware lady! My site went live yesterday and I am thrilled beyond belief! I still have to organize it and customize it the way that I would like it to be, but for now, it is active and working!
If you are interested in buying anything or having a party (it can be a catalog party, not just an in-home party, you know) I would be more than happy to help you out as you would be helping me out, too!
You can order from there as well as contact me, get information and see specials that are currently going on. If you know anyone, too, please don't hesitate to pass on my information!
The link to my site is here. I also have it over on the sidebar to the right. :)
Hope you all had a great weekend! I know I did! Thanks in advance!!!

Yay for Tupperware!
Last week I had a Tupperware party. I have been wanting to have one for quite some time now. Since I have kid(s) around here, I figured I needed some!
I didn't invite too many people since I know there are a lot of people that wouldn't come anyways, so I pretty much only invited the people I knew would come. Makes sense, right? I had 5 guests in total. I didn't mind. They were all people I like to see and spend time with. There were also 4 kids here and 3 of them were under the age of 2. You can imagine what that looked like.
I felt like I couldn't pay attention most of the time that the Tupperware lady was here since there were so many kids and everyone wanted something at different times or there were many different noises that I had to go scope out. So, in between getting up 12 million times, I was able to see some of the really neat products Tupperware has to offer. If I could order everything I wanted, I would be spending hundreds of dollars. It's crazy! Because of all of the stuff that people ordered, I got so much in free product! I am so excited for everything! Here's what I got:

The last two pictures are 5 different bowls that I got for discussing having a party, dating a party and holding the party.
I would say I made out like a bandit. Wouldn't you?
Well, after lots of consideration, I have made the decision to sell Tupperware myself. I'm going to be a Tupperware lady! I was thinking about the possibilities it could have if I work it to my advantage and actually pursue it. At first I am going to start out doing a couple of parties only because I have to get a feel for it and decide if I want to actually do in-home parties or not. If I like it, I will continue doing in-home parties and if not, I will just do catalog parties and such. I am pretty excited/nervous/anxious about all of this. It's a big change, but if I work it right, I can mostly be the SAHM I want to be! YAY!
So...if you need Tuppware, let me know. I'd be glad to help you out!

Music!
Yesterday was the grand opening of our store. In true Best Buy fashion - they kicked off our Grand Open with a bang! There was a ribbon cutting ceremony performed by the mayor and everything. I missed it (it was at 8:45 in the morning - ish!) but I heard it was kind of neat to watch. There were giveaways and free gift cards. It was crazy! Well, it didn't really get too crazy until about 2:00 when a bunch of Emo kids 
started showing up in hopes of meeting the band. There were two bands that performed in the store yesterday.
I got there when The BoDeans were performing and it was soooooo loud in the store, we had to yell to each other. It was really like being at a concert. Their set was about an hour long and people seemed to really enjoy it. The took down their stuff and left. About 30 minutes later Angels & Airwaves came on. Those guys were really nice. They sat down and talked to the crowd for a little bit, did a 20 minute acoustic set (which was actually really good) and then sat down at a table and did signings. From what I heard, they were really nice. Some of the employees got to meet them - that's cool! I could care less, but I was actually wanting to meet them and get an autograph for my sisters. After they left it got really slow in the store and I was able to relax a little bit... phew!
