Again, so funny!

Since I am still bored (that's code for unemployed), I have discovered a few new favorite websites....my current favorite is SexyPeople. It is so funny (totally clean) and it is a great way to kill time! Enjoy!

Broken Arm

Yep, that's right. Sully broke his arm. Last week he fell at preschool. Well, not even a fall, a stumble really, but enough to warrant a cast for a few weeks. It took one trip to the doctor, two sets of x-rays, one trip to St. Paul (in rush hour traffic!), and one pediatric orthopedist to discover it! It is a teeny, tiny break--a non-displaced fracture of the lower humeras (right above the elbow).
The cast will be off next Tuesday, just under 3 weeks total. He isn't in pain, which is good, and, except for getting dressed and bathtime, he hardly notices it! As you can see, he is taking it really well!

What really happened

I am officially unemployed. Yes, that's right. I don't have a job. Yikes! And, no, I don't know what I am going to do!
So, here is what happened....
On Wednesday I was called into my boss's office for my performance review. It quickly turned into an intense meeting, not the first of which I have had with her. After listening for a few minutes about everything I do wrong and what I need to work on, but I haven't improved on, a gauntlet was laid down. I wasn't fitting in with my position and I needed to realize that. I was told, very bluntly, that I needed to leave on my own or my career with Wells Fargo would be very short lived and not very pleasant. In other words, I didn't to put in my notice or I would be watched very closely until they could find a reason to fire me. I was also told if my boss had her way I would have been gone 2-3 weeks earlier.
Yep, not a very uplifting experience! So, after too many run-ins like this with my boss, I quit.
In my defense, I had a lot of things going for me with this job. I had 100% on my guest service surveys, I had the highest percentage of sales on 2 different reports. But I guess it wasn't enough.
So, now the search begins. I don't know what is going to happen and I don't know what I am going to do, but, as my dad said, I am strong and I will land on my feet.
Wish me luck! Oh, and prayers are appreciated, too!

So funny!

I have recently discovered an awesome blog......Cake Wrecks.
And this might be the funniest thing I have ever seen! I actually laughed out loud!

Last week

Here is what happened last week, about 6:30 am....
Sullivan: Mommy, I wet my bed.
Me: Oh, no. Well, it's almost time to get up anyway. Let's get you clean undies and you can climb into my bed while I take a shower.
Sullivan: Ok, but I want my blanket.
Me: You can't have your blanket. It's wet, but I will wash it tonight and you can have it tomorrow.
Sullivan: But I want my blanket.
Me: (see above--this continued 2 more times)
Sullivan: Ok. I want juice. Can I have some juice?
Me: Yes. Here is your juice.
Sullivan: And can I have my blanket? (yes, the same argument starts over)
**I go to get ready for work. Sullivan comes into the bathroom**
Sullivan: I need more juice. I spilled.
Me: What?! **I go running into my bedroom to see my bed very wet!**
Sullivan, what happened?? Was it an accident?
Sullivan: No. I am mad at you. I want my blanket.

Yes....Sullivan is, to quote Adam, developing his feelings and learning to express himself. Well, I guess that's good, but not in my bed!!!
Ahh, the joys of being a mother!

Babies, babies, babies....

Congratulations to two of my friends, Noelle and Jen!
Noelle is now the proud mother of Elijah, born on Friday. Mom and son are doing well. I am going to visit tomorrow and meet the new little guy!
Jen had twins either last night or early this morning--I haven't been able to talk with her yet. Twin girls....but for someone else! Yes, she was a surrogate (there is link to her blog on my list of favorites if you want to read her story). Jen is doing well and everything went great with the delivery. I got to meet Melissa and Brian, the parents, at church on Sunday and I am so happy for them. They are really great people.
Congratulations, ladies! You both did amazing things!

A trying time

I am at a crossroad. After loving my job in the beginning, I am having a very difficult time with it.
My boss is a very difficult person to work for and I spend most of my day feeling like I am constantly being watched and judged--it doesn't make for an easy day! Every time I voice my opinion or ask a question I feel like I get shot down and, to a point, mocked. It is a terrible environment to work in.
I just don't know what to do! I wish there was a simple answer, but, of course, there never is! These are not great times to be job hunting and to find this job it took me several months!
Please pray that I figure out what to do, or not to do! I need peace, patience, and strength through this headache!
I am trying to also be grateful that at least I have a job! Many people can't say that.
Any advice/encouragement would be grately appreciated!
