1. Celebrating my career

For the past year we have taken time out to celebrate the growth and the milestones of Rouzer Cleaning.  Last night we actually sat down to celebrate MY career.  Yesterday I accepted an offer to be the manager on MRO.  

So here is the quick story on how it all went down.  For a few months I have been searching for a new job.  A new PERFECT job because I would not leave CRCC for something miserable.  About a month ago Julie Painter sent me a message on Facebook asking if I would be interested in being the manager on MRO (my old unit).  I said I would be interested so she told me to apply.  I looked the job up and the hours were listed for 4 days a week, 2pm-12pm.  I didn't apply and let it die there.  That would be a terrible fit for our family.  

A few days later HR called me.  She told me that though I didn't have the experience, but if I was interested she would put my resume through all the hoops and we could go from there. I explained that the hours wouldn't work for me but if those were negotiable I would be interested.  I already had an updated resume so I shot it over ..... and here we are today.  I am now the manager on MRO.  This is a huge step for me and a huge change for our family.  I am really excited to try something different and to have more responsibility.  Yay!!

 2.  3 day weekend
How can I not be grateful for something so wonderful.  We don't have any big plans this weekend except hiking, and hiking makes me happy.

3.  Morning workouts
I actually worked out EVERY day last week.  What?!  Now my body likes to get up at 4am and then go to bed at 8pm.....but besides that little bit of crazy.....I am feeling so much better getting a few minutes of sweat therapy in.

4.  The boys are doing great in school -- I think.
This week Owen said to me, "Mom, I think that we are going to get our books next week."  My mom ordered them Scholastic Books and this is all that he thinks about.  I didn't have to question further...he just kept talking....and said, "I asked my teacher and I think that she said that we get them next week."

So basically, he asked his teacher a question, she replied in fluent Spanish, and then that was that.  He made an educated guess and moved on with the rest of his day...in Spanish.  holy hell.

This week Cameron also told me that I HAVE to learn Spanish by the time he is in third grade.  I replied that the only way that I would learn is if he would teach me -- which we have tried and it doesn't really go well -- they just stare at me and I stare back.  But anyways, he then asked, "Why did you never learn Spanish."  Good question buddy.

I have a feeling this journey is going to be an interesting one.

Um....notice Owen busting out the rings and Cameron up so high I almost had a heart attack.

 5. The battery life on this computer
I have been up for over an hour this morning catching up on emails and random computer stuff.  The battery life has shown that it could die at any second....but it has lasted this entire time.  That makes me happy that I don't have to stand to find the plug.  It's the little things...right?!
