The High's and the Low's

So currently Jon and I have been considering him applying for some new jobs. He is ready for a change and wants to try out a job in the health care area. His dream job of course is to be a Highway patrolman for Wyoming, but for the time being he thinks it would be interesting working as a CNA at the old folks home to pass the time while he is training and waiting to interview for a position as a Highway officer. We were so happy when he turned in his application because the heads of the home were showing high interest in his application and resume. However when he came home today it turned out that the pay was a big cut in what he is currently making. We are still trying to decide and maybe even send me back to work as well as a receptionist (if I can get the job) so we are bringing in a little extra as well. The bummer is we will see each other a lot less at times, but the upside is we can start putting away for new things such as a house and a bigger family. I guess I just have to keep my faith for my little family and let the chips fall where they may.

Wednesdays.......

Ugh! Wednesdays are crazy for the Neely family. It is the morning after Jon's first night back to work and the longest day of both of our lives due to my school. I have class from ten in the morning, which is not bad because that is not too early at all, however I am in school from ten in the morning till about nine fifteen every night, with a two hour break in between. I also have the unfortunate event that daycare is so expensive anymore and everyone else works or is in school with me, so my poor wonderful husband comes home and brings my coffee in the morning, then watches our little girl on zero amount of sleep till we have someone come watch her at four. What a band of troopers we are! On a lighter note I cannot wait for Halloween this year, or any of the holidays really. Autumn is at that age where everything is just so spectacular and magical and the excitement she has makes me feel like a kid again. This year she decided (FINALLY) that she wanted to be a kitty cat for Halloween. I say finally because first it was a princess, then a with, then a princess witch, then a ladybug and then she saw a costume in the store the other day that was a cat and she begged, so it was decided. However instead of buying one of the many cheap looking ones from Walmart, I went and bought material and the supplies to make my own. I am so excited and it is so fun. So far it is turning out great and Autumn is dying to wear it! I absolutely love it!

I Did It!

         As you may notice there is a huge gap between my two posts, but being the anal person I am I felt it did not look right for me to keep going when the design of my blog look boring and dull, and yes it has taken me all this time to fix it and refix it and refix it again and again and again. Finally I was satisfied and I actually enjoyed it because I learned alot of neat tricks and tools to use for future uses, so it wont take me months in between to post. So now that I have explained why I have been slacking on this so much, I am so ready to start this and put all my memories down, so I never forget them.

          It is amazing to me when I watch my daughter grow and change. Right now we are going through this phase where she talks and talks all day and I kid you not, in her sleep as well. There is no getting a word in with her and her energy is so breath-taking and addicting, I cannot help but love her more and more everyday. Lately though the energy has been overwhelming between school and being a mom. Sometimes I feel like I am cutting her short on the attention I give her and that she deserves more from me, that I am a terrible mother. However my attitude changes every night at bedtime when Jon and I put Autumn t

o bed. We read a story from her big Disney storybook and then get on our knees and pray. Listening to that little voice pray every night makes it all worth it. I cannot imagine a more pure prayer than that of a childs and mine is no exception. So I always remind myself during my most worn out days that it will all work out, that everynight my little girl prays for me to have a good day and then I do. I am blessed to have this little being pray for us and sincerely mean her words.
