Quick Update

New job is going amazingly well and I love it so much. Employee's are awesome management is awesome...and here is the kicker...everyone is so laid back and loves to joke around and have a good time. I love it. However, I do feel bad that I am currently applying for a different job. As much as I love this job, I do always have to look out for what is best for Emily and I and our future. If I could possibly get a better job for more pay and set hours every week, I would feel more secure. I found a job listing in the paper for a patient accounts representative for the tribe here. I meet all of the qualifications and starting pay is $5 more an hour than I make now, plus it is a guaranteed 40 hours a week. We shall see where this goes, but fingers crossed that something promising comes up. In the mean time, I am really enjoying my current job, was asked my 2nd day of work if I had 3 sisters that were just like me to come work for them, got a $50 tip this weekend from a guest because he said he has never met someone so bubbly and happy as me, and my manager today said that between me and the other day shift front desk girl, she has the perfect day shift team. What a compliment to receive after only being there for 3 weeks. I have been working crazy hours lately, today was my first day off in 10 days!!! Tomorrow and Tuesday I work my other job at Gymboree...which I got because my good friend works there, so that will be nice to pick up a little extra money there. All in all, things are working out nicely. I love being back in Oregon, but still miss Michigan sometimes. I do think that moving back was for the best though.
Emily is doing great. She loves school and is learning so much every day. Her imagination just amazes me. She role plays so much now. My parents and I find ourselves just sitting back and watching her little mind at play. She is starting daycare this week also. My dad had some obligations with substituting and was unable to watch Emily while I had to work this Thursday and Friday. So, I decided that it was probably best that I put her into daycare any ways for Friday's so that she can have some more interaction with children. Being the only child, she is around adults all of the time and needs to be with kids her own age. So, Tuesday-Thursday's she will be in preschool, and on Friday's she will be in daycare. I have Monday's off, so that is our day together!
Still planning on going back to Michigan this summer to get my things. I was originally going to leave Emily with my parents, but the more I think about leaving her for an entire week, the more depressed I get and have come to the conclusion that I just can't leave her for that long!! I think that the longest I have ever been away from her is when she was a baby and my mom took her one night for me so I could get some sleep...however I ended up missing her so much that I couldn't sleep and gave up and went and got her early in the morning!!
That is my life in a nutshell currently...exciting, eh?! I have been considering getting the iphone, but have had mixed reviews on it...anyone want to throw in their opinion, I am more than willing to hear it!!
