Going Part-time

I am so excited to let everyone know that I will be going part time at work starting here in just a couple of weeks!

David and I have been talking about this for some time now, and finally as the circumstances have it, I actually HAVE to.

David's mom, Kathy will not be able to take Thad in the afternoon for the summer. So, I will be getting off earlier and picking him up myself. This will be nice to have shorter days and the great part is...I even get to keep my benefits working part time! My office manager has really worked with me and is so supportive. I have gotten to choose my days I work and this fall I will be working only three days a week. This may be the opportunity I need to get back into school and finally start working in Labor and Delivery at a hospital or perhaps even alongside a midwife.

I will keep everyone posted as the days unfold and things fall into place.

A wonderful Mother's Day

Mother's Day was so amazing this year! It started with beautiful tulips (as David knows, those and lillys are my favorite) and my favorite drink from Starbucks: a vanilla latte with whip cream! I am so excited to "use my gift"...two, one hour massages! And, the best part is, I don't even have to leave the comfort of my own home. The massage therapist is coming to our house to give me my massages. David said he will take Thad to the park or something and let me have my time to relax.

I had a great day all day. David did all the diaper changes and made me the best breakfast ever! Yum!! We went on a fun boat ride around Mercer Island with David's parents and his sister Katy. Thad was all dressed up in his super cute sailboat outfit! We stopped at Coulon Beach Park and got lunch at Ivars too. It was so good. I love the cowder there. I got a bread bowl and shared some fries and fish with Thad. I made an exception on fried food for the occasion. It was too cute when Thad and Grama took a nap in the cabin of the boat. David ended up laying down with Thad when we got back so that Grama could go in. Thad woke up so happy. He's such a good boy!

Later in the evening I wanted mexican food, so David went and picked up some yummy fajitas for me because Thad was asleep and we couldn't go out anywhere without a sitter. We enjoyed our food with a couple of cold beers and relaxed for the night. It was nice.

I didn't have to work the next day- I just happen to get a three day weekend on Mother's Day weekend, ..nice! So, Thad and I hung out at home for the morning. He was so good. He let me do my yoga, then my arobics from TV. Later we went shopping and then to the park for about two hours until it was time to get back for dinner. After dinner David had to go do some work on a project for a customer, so he went to do that and Thad and I went for a run. When we got back we got in the shower (my big boy loves the shower) and got ready for bed just in time to play for a while and hang out with Daddy. It was a great weekend!
