Back To Life, Back To Reality.

Tomorrow (today, actually) I return to workforce after being away from it for four and a half months. Although the loss of my previous job was a difficult blow to take, I am so grateful that I have been able to spend this priceless time with my daughter. I do think it will be harder to leave her this time than the last. We have a deeper bond now. But, I know she will be in good hands; being taken care of by people that I love. My original child care plans fell apart, so now she will spend her weeks between three different people. It will be some adjusting for her but she's a smart cookie so I know she will do just fine.

While I'm going to miss her, I am excited to get back to work. The company I'm going to work for has never had anyone in my position so I will be forging the way, so to speak. I'm excited to implement policies and procedures. Also, it seems like a fast-paced environment and I thrive in that dynamic. So, I'm hopeful it will be a good fit.

Audrey is growing, growing, growing! She freely flips over from her back to tummy now. She tries to lunge forward, but hasn't quite managed to yet. She is babbling a lot now...or rather gurgling a lot. It's so stinking adorable. The teeth mentioned in the previous post still have yet to surface but I have a feeling we are on the verge. I will be sure to share a picture as soon as I can get a good one.

We went trick-or-treating at our church for Halloween. Audrey went as Cinderella and my bestie's little boy, P, went as Prince Charming. The bestie and I have decided to dress them as iconic couples for as long as we can without them pitching a fit. Hopefully as they age picture taking will be a bit easier than it was this year. Ha! Here's the happy couple.

My Cinderella!

Jobs and Puke and Yoda...Oh My!

Hello out there in blog land! I hope everyone is doing well. I know I've fallen way behind on blogging. I have no good excuse other than, I just haven't been in the mood.

Still no job. I thought I had one last week. Had a second interview and was told by the HR manager that they really wanted me and were going to make me an offer. They did, however, they low balled me in the offer by about 8k!!! Ridiculous!! I counter offered, but they never responded. So, here I sit at my trusty laptop scouring the web for opportunities.  I'm trying not to drive myself insane, but it's getting difficult.

On the baby front, Audrey is growing like a weed! I measured her last week and she is 25 inches long. Last time I weighed her she was 16 pounds. She rolled over a couple of weeks ago for the first time. She's really starting to "scoot" when she's on her tummy. I see crawling in the nearish future. She is in that "puke" phase. Almost every day there is puke on EVERYTHING. Hopefully we phase out of that soon. Tehehe.

We went to Zoo Boo last week (I'll blog more about that later.) Here is my little wise one.

The Force is with her. 

Even Yoda needs protective eye wear.
