Not A Lot…

going on these days. I’m getting ready to start a new job on the 1st and seriously can’t wait. I will be working as a Central Processing Tech at the Utah Valley Regional Medical Center in Provo. These are the people that sanitize and organize all the equipment for the OR, ER, OB, and Radiology. It will be a regular shift and its about a $2 an hour raise which is nice. I am so excited to start and to be done with the graveyards. It will be great to be able to get on a regular sleep schedule again. This has been a great job but I am definitely ready to be done. Other than the new job we have just been living one day at a time. Super excited about getting our tax information done and sent in. We really want to start working on our basement or backyard. It will be so nice to have a little extra square footage and a space to stick Milo so he’s not out in front of our house anymore. Hopefully we will get a big enough return to get the show on the road.

I have insomnia. It sucks. But really how can you expect your body to go from sleeping 7am-3pm for 5 nights a week and then sleeping 12am-8am the other 2 nights a week. NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. Ideally I try to stay up on Saturday instead of sleeping till 2 or 3pm. It is really hard and unless I have something to do all day, I will pass out wherever my head lands. Sometimes I try to sleep for only like 3-4 hours. Doesn’t help. I basically can’t make myself get out of bed. Yesterday morning Tim practically forced me out of bed at 11:30. I got up, fed TJ, kissed Tim good-bye, played with TJ until 12, put him down for a nap, and we both slept until 4. Yeah so then I’m supposed to go to bed by midnight so I can get up for church. I finally got in bed at 3, laid there until 4:45, and decided to try to wear my eyes out on the computer. It is now 6:30. I have church at 11 and I have to be there. Not only because its church but because I am the conductor for Sacrament. I can’t miss. Once again…I am so grateful for my job. So many people have lost their jobs and are in a lot worse place than Tim and I are…but seriously…I CAN’T WAIT until I don’t have to work graveyards anymore. 5 nights a week for 7 months I have not slept next to my husband at night. That’s like 140 nights or something. That’s so sad! And my sleep schedule is completely trashed. I am tired 24/7 but can’t sleep at night. It’s the worst. Well…just have to keep plugging along I guess. Hopefully things will change in the near future and we can get out of this crazy cycle.

*Sleep Sweet*

Obviously the TV was on because I couldn’t get Tim to focus =]

Being weird.

Just waiting for Daddy to come home.

      

Brass?

ok. So I used to color my hair at home ALL THE TIME. That was the only thing I ever did in high school. I haven’t in a while. To help with the wallet I decided to do it myself this time. First time I used a natural (not even a golden) and it was quite orangish-gold. Then a few days later I did an ash. The lightest ash (almost grey) that they had. And this was the result? WHAT? How does that happen? Why is it so brassy and is there anyway to prevent it? Maybe I just have to stick to professional? Suggestions anyone?

Random Christmas

        

Tim got me a KitchenAid mixer! YAY! I was totally not expecting it. He kept it well hidden. We have LOVED it already. We made the most delicious cookies to date. I’ve never been a “great” cookie maker…but these babies were fabulous! SO beyond excited about my mixer. It rocks!

The many faces of my beautiful TJ. We love him so much. He still has decided that he likes crawling more than walking. BUT He has taken his first step and has some fun toys that help him walk. He loves walking around with his giraffe and Grandma Lisa has some fun toys that he walks with also. Its only a matter of time before he does it all on his own. TJ does things at his own pace…and we like it that way.

These are our “WAY TOO EXCITED FOR CHRISTMAS” faces. 

Christmas at the Ellison’s. Pretty typical that I would be laughing hysterically and Tim would be shying away…lol. I’m a weirdo! But he loves me.

All in all it was a great year. Always full of a lot of traveling. That’s what happens when both of your family live in the same state, within 45 min driving distance. Its all good tho. Somehow we managed not to get any pictures at Tim’s parents house. Oh well. Next year!

 

Let’s Start *2010*
