Re-cap of the past month...

I know its been over a month sense I posted last...Things got a bit busy right around my last post...On Monday June 6th I got a call back from an app I turned in to be a pre-school teacher at Kindercare...On Tuesday I had an interview that I felt went really well...They told me they were interviewing a lot of people so they would call me back sometime next week...Wednesday the 8th was Sierra's 8th birthday...Kinda an emotional day but I felt like I was doing really well...While I was at the grocery store that day I got a call from Kindercare telling me I got the job and they wanted me to start next week...I was so excited and get very emotional at the same time...I dont get emotional very easily and hardly ever in public...So here I am in the grocery store with Hayden and Xander with tears running down my face...People must have thought I was crazy...Anyways I started my job the next Wednesday and life has been crazy crazy crazy ever sense...My first 2 weeks of work Jeff was also working for our kids got a little neglected...Jeff slept during the day while the kids kinda over ran the house...June 30 was Jeffs last day of work and he has been staying home with the kids...He starts school full time in Sept...I have to say sense Jeff started staying home with the kids my house has been clean the dishes done and the laundry folded and out away...He is way better at house work than I am...He has also been watching his little brother Eric (not an easy task)...I have been working a lot and have decided that pre-school isn't my passion anymore...Don't get me wrong I go to work with a smile on my face and I work my hardest and treat the kids with the love and respect that I would want my kids treated with but I come home grumpy and tired and worn out every day...I haven't been
exactly nice to my kiddos and I'm really trying to be better...

So we have had a few fun weekends sense I stated working...The weekend of the 4th we went to the lake with Jeff's family and had a BBQ and went tubing on his uncle Darren's boat...The kids had a blast as did Jeff and I...The water was freezing...Not just cold but FREEZING...I got dumped of the tube and thought i my just freeze to death before the boat got back to me...On the actual 4th we spent the day at the park with Darren and Nikki having a BBQ...then we drove to CDA and walked miles and miles to watch the fireworks...It was a lot of fun and the kids got to do sparklers for the first time ever...

This last weekend Sky and Ash went to the trailer with my parents and Hayden and xander stayed the night with Linda...Jeff and I went out to Texas Roadhouse for Nikki's Birthday...The food was so good and we ate too much...

Skyler goes to Cub Scout day camp 3 days next week and the week after Sky and Ash got to Summer camp...Time is flying by so fast... soon school will be starting again...
