Walk a mile in my shoes...

Someone has entirely too much fun walking around in mommy's shoes. I wonder where she gets the "shoes" fetish. It's hilarious to see her walking around with the shoes on the wrong feet...or, when she tries to put my flip flops on..now that's a sight.

She looks so happy in this picture, but lately we have been going through a rough patch with her hitting and having trouble dealing with her frustrations. SO...ultimately that means discipline. For some reason I have been addicted to watching Jon and Kate +8....I saw that they use the Time Out Spot Mat instead of a stool for timeouts. W've been using timeouts for a few months now, but I've been looking for something for her to sit on during timeouts. www.timeoutspots.com Will post later how it works out.

Awwww...Chihuahua!

Wow, You're a Chihuahua!

Your single most amazing trait, dah-ling, is that you are charming and gregarious and gorgeous and lively. Oops! That was more than one. No worries, dear, it wouldn't be the first time the rules have been bent for you! Your charisma, combined with the fact that you can really dish out a good yap when push comes to shove, means you have no problem putting on the dog in order to get what you want. But it's not all about you! N-n-n-n-no-ooo! You simply adore your best friend and love your family to pieces, enjoying every precious little teeny tiny moment you spend together. And children? Well, you love the idea of them, but don’t necessarily need them hounding you day and night, right? Come now, honey, let's face it- children just do not appreciate a good sweater.

Sweet...I officially start Monday, but I have been doing some stuff here and there today. It's so nice to be sitting in jeans and flipflops working...know that my daughter is basically around the corner. I can't wait to ride my bike with her trailer to pick her up this summer! The ladies that I worked with last summer are a great bunch and I feel truly blessed to have this opportunity back in my life. This also means that I have to go for a walk everyday at lunch and get skinny again!!! No more Taco Hell, since I am much too lazy to try and back my car out of our 100 yard driveway...lol...a little exaggerating never hurt anything.

Having a baby is like getting a tattoo on your face...

make sure it's what you want before you commit. Very profound but true...it's a quote from my current read Eat. Pray. Love.

Wow...this book evokes emotions that's for sure..as I sat at the Manhattan Beach Pier this morning with my Starbucks and EPL in hand...I was suddenly crying and embarrassed because I didn't even know really why I was crying except that I could say " L'ho provato sulla mia pelle", which means in Italian that have experienced that on my own skin. I could truly feel the lonliness and sadness this author was feeling...I suggest that if you haven't read, or even heard of the book....look into it....if nothing else...is a great way to experience, Italy, India and Indonesia...I've only "traveled" to Italy so far....but have my passport in hand for the next stops...

Unemployed...

Well...the DirecTv job didn't work out as planned. It wasn't an issue for Joe or me...working together, but everyone else had a major problem with me. I like to think that I am likable person, I have my days just like everyone else....but the people I was working with you would have thought that I ran over their cat/dog. The other assistant that I was working with did everything she could to make me feel unwelcome. She never answered my emails, was never at her desk and seemed just plan annoyed when I needed something...professional...right. WRONG....and it was all women...all catty, gossipy, back-stabbing women. It reminded me of high school with all the stupid cliques...if you weren't in you were out....so anyways...I quit. Luckily my husband MBA and all is a great provider and has allowed me to take my time and find something that really fits me.

While in Colorado I worked for 3 months for a great company as their College Relations Coordinator...in short I was in charge of all career fairs and other campus events. It was a great fit for me and the company is a Fortune 500 best company to for like 5 years running....luckily I think that I am able to get my job back and be able to telework from home. This is an amazing opportunity for me..I should know something final this week so keep your fingers crossed.
