Wow, time flies when...

You have 3 kids and full time jobs (and hubby has a part time job). Did I mention that I'm getting a part time job too? Ya, not much going on here at all.

Monday, Scotland had her second set of ear tubes put in and a second eye surgery. She's such a trooper. She woke up better than she had in the past. She usually wakes up very very mad, yelling and flailing her arms and legs about. We left the house at 4 am and returned home at 4 pm. It was a long day but she's doing great. Poor thing looks like she got socked in the eye though...makes her look like a bad a**.

I've finished my first 4 lessons of course 1 (medical transcription). Its still going well. I've lost a little motivation to keep up the pace I started; however, it is still on my mind all the time. I've just gotten busy and haven't had the time to sit down with it as much. My goal is to complete the program by February and be working from home, at least part time, by March.

Right now I'm dealing with the pain of drying up my milk. We've decided it would be best to be done with pumping by the time we go on our cruise. I would just have to pump and dump, and, since we're gonna be on Nassau for 12 hours, I don't want to be miserable. I have to say that its not as bad as it was with Sully. With Sully I wore cabbage and ace bandages for more than a week. Do you know what cabbage smells like after 2 games of softball...COOKED!! It was gross. Hopefully I won't have to resort to that. I'm so uncomfortable when I wrap them anyway. It makes my ribs hurt. So far, I'm just pumping about twice a day to relieve some pressure.

Oh yeah...the part time job for me. As long as my background check comes back clear (no worries in that department) I will begin training at JC Penney. Although it is a second job and I won't have much/any free time, I am a little excited. It will mean extra money so we can hopefully send all 3 kids to the same sitter and so we can hopefully have some extra money for our trip. They're putting me in the jewelry counter, since I worked for Zales for 2 1/2 years. I'm excited to get back into it, although I do feel it is a step down from Zales (don't tell JCP that though). I shouldn't be that way. $$$ is $$$.
