Do the Wave

It's been a pretty crazy month in our household... have I said that before!?

Zack is still potty training... tell me it will end soon. We may have to try another tactic because the only thing that seems to be working is letting him run around the house naked. And out in public that is no bueno. There was one night we accidentally put him to bed with his underwear on and surprisingly the next morning he was dry. He does good for a little bit then the next thing we know he's naked. It's just a never ending cycle. But he's only 2 so he's okay. Now if in 2 more years I'm still saying the same thing, we are in trouble.

Gavin has gotten his first tooth... make that first two teeth. Both are on the bottom. Now it really hurts when he bites your finger. He actually handled it really well minus the 30 minutes it took to realize there was a tooth there. Hardly any drooling, fever or runny nose. After the teeth came in he started getting a fever so that was odd. He's also had what looked like baby acne round one of his eyes a few months ago. It comes and goes so I wasn't too concerned. Then the other eye started getting it. Now he's got what looks like a rash on his eyes, forehead, some on his back and also where his diaper is. Now I'm worried. I've called the doctor and we go in on Tuesday to have a look at it. I kind of hope it sticks around so we can finally get it taken care of.

Which leads me to the next fun thing. Our car is having troubles. Beginning of September I was driving home from being out all day and just as I was turning from the highway to another street my car died! D.I.E.D In the middle of the intersection. And this particular intersection is not a fun one. Normally only 2-3 cars make the light so with my dead car in the intersection trying to turn left I had some very unhappy people behind me. 3 lights it took me to turn. Ugh! It was a nightmare. It was also a day that I was late getting home to pick up the husband and his friends so we could go to a BYU Football game. So needless to say we left the car on the side of the road and got it later. And wouldn't you know it when Bob picked it up later that day it worked fine. Didn't die once. It hadn't had a problem since until my birthday. This time I had my cousin with me so she could confirm the fun ride we had home. Bob was home so he took it out for a spin and got it to fail that time. The next day we took it to the dealership to have it diagnosed and wouldn't you know they couldn't get it to fail. Two days they had it without a problem... ugh. I hate faulty cars.

On top of that our computer hard drive crashed and burned. It was fine one minute then I got the blue screen of death. I tried to restart the computer and it started making a horrible noise. My brother in law and brother both looked at and confirmed that it wad dead. Luckily I had backed up all my pictures last month so what wasn't backed up was still on my camera. Unfortunetly a few movies and music that we downloaded hadn't been backed up. But what is upsetting me the most is all my "favorites" are gone. I had a awesome catalog of crafts and cool websites that I had found. Oh well if that's all we had lost it makes us pretty lucky.

And since all things come in Three's. Our faucet started leaking and we had to drop $130 to get that fixed. The fun of being a homeowner :)

Now my news....

I am finally employeed. I am the newest member of Bed Bath and Beyond.... yeah I'm excited too. It will be fun. Every once in a while I'll get to work with my good friend Sharma so that will rock. The pay isn't that great but I will work mostly late afternoons/Evenings so I'll be home with the kids but still bring in a little bit of money. I did interview with Nike the day I started at BB&B so we are crossing our fingers they pay more and offer me a job. I 1/2 way interviewed with Discover but they called just as I had gotten Gavin in his car seat which he proceeded to have a meltdown when I left the room to take the call. Needless to say when I had to get off the phone with them and asked the women to call me back in an hour or so she didn't :(. Which makes me sad. Discover would have been perfect for me because they pay more and they had a shift from 5-1am. Oh well, I tried.
