September... really?!

Is it just me or is 2009 flying by at a rediculous rate? I mean it seems like summer just got here, and it's already leaving. A part of me is sad. Okay make that a BIG part of me is sad. I love summer. I love tshirts, shorts, flip flops, tank tops, not having to warm up the car in the mornings, letting the kids run outside like wild ones, going on hikes, grilling out...you get the picture. I am a summertime girl. I am not looking forward to it getting cold, not wanting to crawl out of my warm bed, worrying about flu bugs, the kids going stir crazy having to stay in the house... ugh. Not looking forward to it. Not one single bit. Can't we slow time just a little?

I did buy some Febreeze Pumpkin Spice air freshener to get into a fall mood. I told Jesse last night I'm a total freak. I have to change my air freshener with the seasons. I can't spray summery scents in the fall/winter and I can't spray fall scents in the spring/summer. Talk about a weird quirk. Am I the only one like that?

Here is some good news: I HAVE A JOB!! woohoo!! After a nearly 2 year long job search and applying at more places than I can count, I am able to go to work. Right now I'm working as a temporary at Staples. But the good news is they said they'll more than likely keep some of the temps, and the managers seem really happy with me, so hopefully I'll be a keeper! lol. It feels so nice to actually feel like I'm going to be contributing financially. And it seems to be helping my sanity as well. Don't get me wrong, I ADORE my children. I love them more than anything but me being with them 24/7 takes a toll on all of us. Now I go to work and I MISS them and can't wait to get home. When I do my heart is just warm and fuzzy and I just love up on them. I've missed that feeling sooo much!! I'm not as snappy with them. I need the time away from home to make me appreciate it that much more, if that makes any sense.

Other than that, the only other news is the kids have been sick. I had to take miss Emmalyn to the doctor last week because she was scaring me to death. Her breathing was super fast and you could hear her grunt and wheeze and struggle. She tested negative for any flu, strep, and RSV (very good news) so it was just some virus making things hard. I now own a nebulizer as they did an office treatment and it helped so she got prescribed some albuterol. We only had to do one treatment at home, and she kicked her bug for the most part. Thank God. She really hates those treatments. Having to hold a mask over an 18 month old and keep her still for 10 minutes.. makes her quite pissed. lol.

And so that's what's new here. Life is flying by and changing always...but I guess that's life :o)
