Bullet style Saturday

 Bullets is what you are getting tonight. It has been a while since I have posted updates, so here it goes:

  • I wish you could see my house right now. You would probably fall over when you saw how messy this joint is. I am embarrased. There is a big box in the living room, pillows strewn everywhere from the couch, dishes everywhere in the kitchen, certain scrap stuff I gave to Reyna that she is cutting up and playing with, blankets, shoes everywhere, panties (don't have a clue how they got there) in the middle of the living room. Its an absolute nightmare. And yet, I sit here blogging and watching Reyna cut paper up into tiny bits and pieces.
  • I am so excited. Jade bought me a bike trailer for my birthday. I put it together and tested it out tonight. The girls loved it. In the morning, we are all going for a bike ride on the trail. 
  • Yesterday, I went to Milford to visit one of my favorite gals in the whole wide world. We went to Archivers and bought some of the latest and greatest scrap stuff that we just had to have, ate dinner at Baja Fresh and headed back to her house to scrap. Well, I did organize my scrap stuff, but Kristin introduced me to another reality tv show and it sucked me right in. We watched three out of the five episodes and I fully intend to plant my butt in the recliner and watch the next two on hulu tonight. Oh, did I mention my house is a pit? I don't care, Bethenny takes presidence. Kristin and I had a blast and it was a blessing Em spent the day with the girls so I could leave and not have to wait for Jade to get out of work. You can read about R&R's day here.
  • I am going to try and blog more often. I have so much to document, but the day ends and I forget to type it out. That is my goal (one of the many) for the month of July.
  • My Aunt and cousin flew into Michigan yesterday. I cannot wait to spend some quality time with them for the next week. Reyna is very excited to have Louie here to play.
On a more serious note....

I am losing my job. Not quite yet, but I am down to a measely 10 hours per week. I work two afternoons and my mom is with the girls while I at work, so we cut out the cost of our babysitter. I did qualify for what is called underemployment. I am enjoying being home with the girls. I don't feel as guilty when I take the time to clean or do laundry when they are awake. Before, I felt like my time off should be devoted to them, so I had that guilty feeling when I wasn't spending all of my time with them. I work for a non-profit and the program I work for is not receiving our grant after September. I will have a job until September 31st. I am bummed, but I am hoping that something good comes out of it. It is just the thought of looking again and getting acquainted with new people.
I will end this post with something a little more uplifting.

Ruby loves to play with sunglasses. I don't let her touch mine, but Jade has a bazillion pairs and she
plays with his.
Reyna was excited to have the UPS man deliver a package for her the other day. Thank you, Great Gran and Great Papa.
*I need to add this in, I just asked Reyna why my underwear were in the living room. Her reply? "I was just throwing them at Bobo." Ay yi yi. My poor pug.
