Move Along

So one chapter has closed in my life as another one is about to begin. My last day of work was on Monday but yesterday I received my final paycheck and it is just now hitting me how much I'm going to miss working and some of my former co-workers.

A lot of people have also asked me why I decided to quit instead of just taking maternity leave, well here is the explanation... I am due Nov. 27th and if took leave it would be about 6 weeks long, therefore putting me back to work in January, which wouldn't be a problem if we weren't PCSing in February. So basically I don't see the point in going back to work for a week or 2, only to be moving and having to quit anyways.

After working with for that company for almost a year I've made some very good friends, and I am going to miss them very much. Lucky for me we have a few more months before we have to say our official goodbyes.

Looking forward to the new chapter in my life, I am SOOOOOOO ready to have this baby. I'm 38 weeks and 4 days, and as any other pregnant woman may know, I am EXTREMELY uncomfortable and just plain tired. As much as I would love to play with Lilly, all I want to do most of the time is sleep. So everyone keep your fingers crossed for me and lets all hope that this baby decides to make an appearance soon!

Burnt Out...

Today was a very long day. I woke up to the beautiful sound of lawn mowers cutting our yard. This should have been a sign as to what kind of day it was going to be.

We woke up, had breakfast and I headed of to work where i thought for whatever reason that it was going to be an easy day since our rotation is out doing training... but oh man was I wrong. My 12-6 shift turned into a 12-7:30 shift fairly quickly. Between people calling out, people showing up late, and the dinner rush, there was no escaping. By time I got home all I wanted to do was eat some dinner and go to sleep, but if your a mom you should know that napping with a 2 year old present is a ridiculous concept, and cooking yourself real food is the last thing you want to do after spending the previous 3 hours cooking food for other people.

This is where the day gets better...

I managed to scrap together a bagel and some juice and that was good enough for me. Mr. W headed to "the gym" no to long after. He returned with chocolate milk,  twizzlers, and some lemonade for me... all this meaning he did NOT go to the gym. While he was gone Lilly played some games and watched netflix on my phone while Ashley (my sister in law) and I watched The Hunger Games. It turned into a very relaxing evening.

Highlight of the day...

Lilly calling my STRAWBERRY lemonade...

STRAWBOOTY lemonade.

She cracks me up.
