Oh boy!

CROUP. What a yucky sounding word. This lovely little ailment has shown up at my house..... poor Mikey had a horrible night, one that almost involved a trip in an 'ambuance' at 3am, luckily I kept my composure, we made it through everything. So today off we went to Dr. C's who was happy that he didn't wear his cowboy boots this time, and amazed at how his vocabulary and speech has blossomed since last visit (which she laughingly told me while Mikey was telling her "don't touch me").

Zany Day!!

May I just say that today was the most fantabulous 1st day that I've ever had at a new job? Seriously, It was. I left extra early and stopped at StarBucks on my way since I was soo early (hey, their regular coffee is the same price as gas station brew)!I showed up this morning to my office manager frantatically waving at me so that I could find the back way into the office so that I wouldn't look like an idiot. Things went extremely well... all day long. I accomplished more than what was expected of me, and learned how to use a hand held auto-refractor. Tomarrow is my first day travelling... I'm scared but excited at the same time. It should be a fun, albeit long, ride down toward the Cincinnati area :) Then, tonight was Boy Scouts. The troop met at my in laws old church, and I got to go see my hubby's Eagle Scout project.

Random Things:
*I seriously love the fact that I work in a Christian based environment.
*I can't start a new job, w/o new shoes.
*After the store bought pizza I got tonight... I will forever more make my own (which I usually do, but was too lazy to do tonight)
*I love watching my lil boy run with his cousins.
*Mikey caused me to have a coronary tonight, when I looked up and he's sitting ON TOP of the jungle gym.
*Little boys on grandpa's shoulders are just too comforting.
