Job update

Well some of you have asked if there is any news on the job front and the answer is:
NO :(
It is really quite depressing actually, but I'm trying to keep my head up high and hope that something good will come along soon .... PLEASE!!

Kid's Fair

Today we took the kids to Kid's Fair with Kyle, Karston & KD. It was a mad house. I could hardly believe how many people were there. The kids really seemed to enjoy it though. Bruce and I lasted longer than I thought we would. We actually stayed almost 2 full hours. Here are some pics of the day.






HouseKeeper

The other day I was cleaning the house and had stepped away from the vacuum. Sienna had picked it up, turned it on and was vacuuming for me. She thought she was big stuff and loved every minute of it.



She really is beginning to be such a big girl. Here she is on TOP of the table eating a bowl of cereal.

Coincidence??

Well we have some possible good news on the home front of the Baird's. Earlier this week Bruce got a phone call from a company he has been doing IT consulting work for these last few months. They send him about 5 hours a week of work which is better then nothing at this point. Anyway, they called to tell him that they will have a position for him next month and can guarantee him 20-30 hours a week (equal to the amount and more of his previous job pay wise). This is his dream job, seriously. It's a work from home job doing IT consulting. Nothing is official yet, but it looks promising.
SO ....
I called a psychic on the radio station here Thursday morning. I've called her before on two other occasions and she was right so I thought I'd try her again. I told her that my husband has been laid off since October and if she saw him getting a job here or out of state. She told me that he would have a job by months end and with a company he has already worked for. I about fell out of my seat. If this pans through she is DEAD ON. Anyway, I'm trying to not get ahead of myself but we are very excited here and hope everything falls into place. :)

10 Years ago

I can't hardly believe that 10 years ago I was having my 1st baby. I was so excited to meet this little creature inside me that moved around to and fro. I had washed all these little boy clothes for him anxiously waiting to see him. He was due on Valentines Day. After my weekly visit with Dr. Lowder my blood pressure was really high so he order an induction the following morning at 7am. All night all I could think about was I was finally going to meet this precious little baby. I got up bright and early and Mike and I went to Triage to be admitted. At 8am Dr. Lowder had broke my water and they started me with Pitocin (sp). I tried to be tough and went all day laboring (back labor) without an epidural. My sweet Mother rubbed my back non-stop as I tried to tuff it out. Finally at 5pm after only dilating 2cm I asked for an epidural. Three hours later I was ready to push. After pushing for 38 minutes Collin Michael Law entered into this world at 8:38pm on February 10th. He had an elongated head from having to use the vacuum and was slightly blue. They took him to the NICU but only for 20 minutes or so and brought him back to me. He was perfect! I learned so much on how to be a Mother raising Collin. He was a VERY colicky baby and learned that I had to be careful with what I ate. Each night he would scream from 7ish till 11pm or 12am. I quickly learned patience and unconditional love.
Now that sweet little baby is my 10 year old. It's hard to believe it has been that long already. I can't imagine my life without my sweet boy. We went thru some tough times together. Divorcing his Dad, losing my job, losing my Mom and his Grandma, losing my boyfriend (Bruce) to getting married 9 months later. Getting 2 sisters that love him dearly. Happy Birthday beautiful boy. I love you more then you will ever know.
