Ramblings of a Sorta Single Mom

And finally it's my turn! I got word yesterday that I'm getting a promotion of sorts. I've been fighting for at least 3 years now trying to get out of direct sales and into more of the management side, preferrably with marketing or accounting. I've been really working on side projects and proposals and such and I guess finally I'mg etting my chance. There are a ton of changes going on in my office adn on top of that they have to plan for my maternity leave. My boss thought it was the perfect time to make some changes for me as well. So for right now through may I'll be getting the 2 new people up to speed to run the office. then as of June I step into a project/marketing manager position.  I'll be working side by side with the owner.  When he has ideas for things he wants to try I'll be in charge of researching, compiling, figuring out best angles, all kinda of marketing projects and such.  I'll have more flexibilty with some scheduling and itiwll work well for whenI take time off this fall.  I can spend the 3 months basically getting my feet wet, getting things in order and ready to go and then when I get back we jump in feet first ready to go!  LOL  I'm excited though.  It was nothing I expected when i went to the meeting with him on Thursday morning.  I was so shocked I didn't even know how ot respond.  It's going to be a busy but exciting adventure but it's finally here!

Our Baby Boy!!!!

1. She's the only one who knows where the scotch tape is.

2. Mostly to clean the house.

3. To help us out of there when we were getting born.

How did God make mothers?

1. He used dirt, just like for the rest of us.

2. Magic plus super powers and a lot of stirring.

3. God made my Mom just the same like he made me. He just used bigger parts.

What ingredients are mothers made of?

1. God makes mothers out of clouds and angel hair and everything nice in the world and one dab of mean.

2. They had to get their start from men's bones. Then they mostly use string, I think.

Why did God give you your mother and not some other mom?

1. We're related.

2. God knew she likes me a lot more than other people's moms like me.

What kind of little girl was your mom?

1. My Mom has always been my mom and none of that other stuff.

2. I don't know because I wasn't there, but my guess would be pretty bossy.

3. They say she used to be nice.

What did mom need to know about dad before she married him?

1. His last name.

2. She had to know his background. Like is he a crook? Does he get drunk on beer?

3. Does he make at least $800 a year? Did he say NO to drugs and YES to chores?

Why did your mom marry your dad?

1. My dad makes the best spaghetti in the world. And my Mom eats a lot.

2. She got too old to do anything else with him.

3. My grandma says that Mom didn't have her thinking cap on.

Who's the boss at your house?

1. Mom doesn't want to be boss, but she has to because dad's such a goof ball.

2. Mom. You can tell by room inspection. She sees the stuff under the bed.

3. I guess Mom is, but only because she has a lot more to do than dad.

What's the difference between moms & dads?

1. Moms work at work and work at home and dads just go to work at work.

2. Moms know how to talk to teachers without scaring them.

3. Dads are taller & stronger, but moms have all the real power cause that's who you got to ask if you want to sleep over at your friend's.

4. Moms have magic, they make you feel better without medicine.

What does your mom do in her spare time?

1. Mothers don't do spare time.

2. To hear her tell it, she pays bills all day long.

What would it take to make your mom perfect?

1. On the inside, she's already perfect. Outside, I think some kind of plastic surgery.

2. Dye it. You know, her hair. I'd dye it, maybe blue.

If you could change one thing about your mom, what would it be?

1. She has this weird thing about me keeping my room clean. I'd get rid of that.

2. I'd make my mom smarter. Then she would know it was my sister who did it and not me.

3. I would like for her to get rid of those invisible eyes on the back of her head.

Not a whole lot going on these days it seems.  Trying to get things figured out for the house.  We put my house back in the hands of the property management and should have everything out by the 20th.  Right now I'm just putting it in storage until we figure out exactly whats going on with X to.  Apparently his lease ends much sooner than he thought and now has thoughts of buying a house.  Where.....we'll be discussing that.  I really don't want over an hour and a half commute to work every day and it's really nto wise for me to switch jobs right now to avoid it.  So we'll see.  In th emean time I just set up a PO BOX and have set up a storage unit.  It doesn't make sense to move everything there just to sit around boxed up and in the way or to unpack it and then have to repack it again so soon.  So I'll sacrafice the $40 a month for the convenience.  plus they apparently provide the moving truck for free when you first move things in so I'll still only have to pay to move it to where ever we end up. 

Nothing new to report on baby either.  I have myr egular check up today and then my ultrasound in 2 weeks! I am seriously hoping they will just do it today but I'm not holding my breath.  We've waited almost 18weeks already...2 more won't really hurt I guess.   Blah.   here's where baby is though if your interested!!  I'm apparently carryign a little bell pepper these days! 

How your baby's growing:

Head to bottom, your baby is approximately 5 1/2 inches long (about the length of a bell pepper) and she weighs almost 7 ounces. She's busy flexing her arms and legs — movements that you'll likely start noticing more and more. Her blood vessels are visible through her thin skin and her ears are now in position and stand out from her head. Myelin (a protective covering) is beginning to form around her nerves, a process that will continue for a year after she's born. If you're having a girl, her uterus and Fallopian tubes are formed and in place. If your baby is a boy, his genitals are noticeable, though he may hide them from you during an ultrasound.
