Never standing still in time,

Well well well. As the title says, never standing still in time. Thats me and thats my life. Always go, go go and ever changing. I've been at my new job for a week now and it's a relief. The people I work with are absolutely freaking hilarious. Bobby and I were invited out on Friday to one of my new manager's birthday parties at a casino. It was so much fun, and I have never partied with co-workers before and it wasn't awkward in the least. My manager was sloshed and spent the majority of the time talking to us about UFC and stuff. We didnt stay too long since we had Troy with us. But we hung out, mingled, ate appetizers and left around 9:30.



I cant stress enough how less stressed I am at this new job. The people, the enviornment, the sense of humours everyone has it's so fun to be around. It's rare to find a boss/manager who can mess around, be funny but lay the smack down when it's needed. I'm still learning and am in the training process so I cant say for sure if I like what I'm doing, but i'm being open minded. The money is absolutely unbeatable.

Bobby and I also finally got rid of our Samsung Galaxy S6's. We got them in September and have hated them since then. They are laggy, unresponsive and are really just hype. We decided to get the new iPhones. We both got iPhone 6S Pluses. I can't believe how much I have missed Apple and their products. I was such a fool for going to Andorid. I now consider Android like the "Dark Side", amusing. We're definitely done switching phones for awhile. It's not cheap at all.

Today was Troy's first day of Day Care. He's only going twice a week for 1 hour a day. So that means 2 hours per week, 6 hours per month. Monday and Wednesday, Bobby's classes conflict with my new schedule. We don't have anyone that can watch him so daycare was our only solution. It is very hard on me. I don't think anyone else other than a first time mother who works fulltime can understand. Anything can happen in 1 hour. But this is part of growing up, being an adult, and being  a responsible mother. I digress. I literally rushed from work to the daycare like their house was on fire to get to Troy. I don't doubt my over reaction but I love my child. I cried the majority of the way there. Reality and responsibility hit me in the face and was overwhelming. I'm not trying to start a debate or any controversy but I firmly believe that working mothers have it so much harder then stay at home mothers. But that's a discussion for another time.



When I got there the woman opened the door and there was my child happy, laughing and playing with other children. I got so completely weak at the knees. I am always worried Troy will be difficult and cry when I'm not around but what I was looking at was the complete opposite. The daycare woman explained that Troy is such a joy and such a good baby who wasn't fussy at all. She said that he is kind, courteous and gets along well with others and is kind. That made me so happy. I called my mom immediately to tell her the news. My mom was so happy for Troy. Happy he was having so much fun and was happy to hear how wonderful he is. My mom is my go to for everything for Troy. She has college degrees in psychology and early childhood development and is a preschool handicap inclusion teacher. She works with handicapped and non handicapped children. My mom has no issue laying the smack down. She keeps me in check and tells me to relax and not to over react when I get crazy. She told me that everything I was telling her indicates that I am raising Troy correctly. Even at such a young age he's such a little grown up. She also told me to get rid of the paci and he's not a baby anymore. Yikes!!


Bobby is just about finished with his first semester of college that he has aced. He is currently compiling his schedule for next semester. He will only have a few weeks off before he goes right back. As always, I am extremely proud of him and his commitment to school and working so hard to fly right through it with flying colors. Next semester he will be working on finishing up his general classes and finishing up his prerequisites. I cannot wait for him to start his classes in Anatomy & Physiology and others. He's going to have such a great time in these classes. Anything human body and how it works is right up his alley.



Welp, that's enough for now. I don't really have anything else going on for the time being. But as always, that is subject to change.
