So it's an official "No" on the job. I was expecting the no, but did they really have to drag out the waiting for over 2 weeks?? I got the call finally on Thursday. The annoying thing was that the persron that called me about it wasn't even one of the 8 people that interviewed me. Weird. Owell.
Anyway, Shawn and the girls went up to Cashmere yesterday for his Grandma Cox's summer party. Shawn said he had a great time and has never had so much fun with KaeLee. I wish I could have been there. But when I have to work every single weekend, I miss out on all the fun stuff! BOO!! He took KaeLee swimming and he said she really liked it. Apparently she must only like swimming with him, because both times we've gone at my Aunt's house, she hasn't been so thrilled. Maybe she's just finally used to it? I don't know. Daddy's probably jusst a lot more fun than Mommy. And the other little kids were probably a lot mmore entertaining than my brothers and I. Shawn said he couldn't find the camera, so he didn't get any pictures, so I am hoping to steal some from Sharon's camera or something. (Though, when I got home, the camera was right where I told him it was..... just had a piece of paper laying over it....) Hopefully I can get those soon so we can all see them!
Nothing too eventful this week. I'm a work and super bored. I get here at 5:30 and am super busy for the first hour, rushing to get all the tally sheets to the cooks for breakfast, printing breakfast mennus and so forth, but then I am stopped dead in my tracks and don't have anything to do until 7:30, so here I sit, trying to think of something else to write about. Hmmm.....
Anyway, maybe I'll go kill some time and eat some breakfast. Have a great rest of the week everyone!

A Rollin Machine!
Hannah officially rolled all the way over yesterday from her back to her tummy!! Whoo-Hoo! Go Hannah! Today she is rolling all over the place! She started on her back and rolled over 4 times in a row to end up on her back again! I had to jump up and save her from rolling into the TV. She loves being on the floor now! She's a rolling machine! Except KaeLee is right there on top of her all the time. She just wants to play with her SO bad. She is such a good big sister though and shows Hannah all the toys and pushes the musical ones for her. When she is on her tummy, she put toys in front of her and when she is on her back, she puts toys on her belly for her to grab. I think she is very excited about the fact that she grabs for the toys that KaeLee hands her now. She feels so proud that she is "playing with" her. It is very cute to watch. But watch them is most definitely what I have to do! KaeLee has a tendancy to love "too much" and tries to put all of her weight on Hannah or pick her up and try to drag her somewhere. Haha. Poor Hannah. Soon she can retaliate.
Hannah had her 4 month appointment on Monday. She weighs 14 pounds 4 ounces and is 24 inches long. At four months, KaeLee was also 24 inches, and their heads were the same size, but KaeLee weighed 2 pounds lighter. Poor Hannah is a chunky one. :) But she's a CUTE chunky one!!
Well, that's all the exciting news for now.... I still have yet to hear from that job. Maybe today. Maybe tomorrow.... who knows. Anyway, I had better get KaeLee goin on lunch so we can run into Target when she's done.

Busy Busy Busy....
Well, the last two weeks have been dragging and dragging and dragging.... I am still waiting to hear about the job. I called about it yesterday and they have not made a decision yet and have been delayed because of the holiday and people being on vacation. So I guess I have to continue to wait. All this waiting is causing me to get more attached to the job and I have already pictured myself in the poisition and have already gotten all excited about it. This is not good seeming how my chances of actually getting the job is very slim. The longer I have to wait, the harder the heartbreak will be though. owell.
The interview went really well though, I thought.... (I forgot I hadn't written about that yet...) There were 8 people on the interview panel.... most of them I would be the boss of! There are 46 cooks with 10-15 subs that I would supervise. They have 9 schools, all with kitchens and a kitchen at the community center that I would be in charge of. I was thinking I would have a small summer break, but between summer school and the community center kitchen, no summer break for me. Darn. But I wouldn't have to work any nights, weekends or holidays! Well, I suppose there would be the occasional catering event and after school function or whatever, but I would love it SO much! I think I answered all the questions really well, but there are 6 people who interviewed for the position. It really just depends on what they are looking for. If they are looking for an older, more experienced person to come in and just run things without change, then it's not me. If they want a younger, educated and open-minded person looking to put our student's health first by serving fresh and local foods, get the community and students involved and strive to get them excited about what they are putting into their bodies, then I'm the one they want. We'll see. I guess if they can find the perfect balance of passion, education, and experience, then that would be their perfect scenario. I'm hoping that no one like that interviewed.... haha
Anyway, what has happened in the last 2 weeks besides the news of the hopeful job..... hmmm.... well, we went to Shawn's bosses house for dinner last Friday. They must have thought our family is ginormus because of all the food they made! You name it, they made it! They really went overboard, but it was all delicious! They have a piano, and KaeLee LOVED it!! She did not want to stop playing. Pauline (Larry's wife) played with her and KaeLee had a ball! Of course, they both started getting tired and cranky towards the end, but I think they both enjoyed it. They also had a globe that lit up, so KaeLee thought it was fun turning it on and off.
I went to the dentist for the first time in six or seven years last week. They say that you are supposed to go after pregnancy because they ruin your teeth. Well, I never did after KaeLee and decided to finally go after Hannah. Yeah, well, take a guess at how many cavities..... nope higher. Higher. haha.... drumroll.... eight. Yes, That's right people. Eight cavities! I guess all my life I have averaged about a cavity a year, 8 seems to be about right anyway. I had my first one filled on Tuesday and I am not too happy about it. It never hurt before I got it filled and now it hasn't stopped hurting. Ugh. I can't chew anything on that side or drink cold water. Or breathe in cold air.... something doesn't seem right. I guess I will have to wait till Monday to call them about it.
For the fourth of July, I had to work, but we went up to my mom's later for dinner and fireworks. A bunch of my little brother's friends came over as well as some other people and family. Again.... WAY too much food. Haha. KaeLee liked the fireworks but was super tired during them. We forgot to take pictures up there and sadly do not have any pictures of the girls in their fourth of july outfits. I've thought about putting them back in their outfits to stage a few pictures, but haven't done so. I am never good about remembering to take pictures. Especially with my family because we see them a lot more often. It's a little easier when we go to Shawn's family's house because we don't see them as often.
Tuesday and Wednesday, Sue and Jon came to visit. It was a nice surprise. The girls love them and being around them! KaeLee was bouncing off the walls all day and was SO excited! She loves playing with Jon. Well, she was probably happy to have someone to play with her so much. On a normal day, she has to share her time with Hannah.
Tuesday night when we went to cook some pizza, we discovered that our heating element went out. Nice. I LOVE it. Can I just tell you how excited I am to have something go wrong EVERY month. How on earth are we supposed to save money when every month something goes wrong? UGH. I'm SO over it! I was excited that this month I get three paychecks.... Whoo-Hoo!! That means I have one paycheck this month that doesn't have $166 of insurance taken out! Yee-Haw! Now that extra paycheck is going towards a new stove. Secretly, I am WAY excited about a new stove, but I have many other things a lot higher on my priority list that I would rather be spending it on. (Or rather, NOT be spending it on, since my number one priority is building up our savings....)
I have been into Suze Orman for, well, forever, but REALLY into her lately and I am trying to be a good girl and save up our 8 month emergency fund. HA! That'll take forever, but we are slowly getting there! I watch these shows and some of these really young people, Shawn and I's age, have like 90K in their liquid savings and at least a million dollars in their retirement. I wonder, 'what in the world! How do they do that?!?!'. But then they have debt, so I feel a little better about that. I like seeing the young couples with a mortgage, car loan, 100K in student loans, and 15,000 in credit card debt. With only $1,000 in savings and none in retirement. Then I feel better. haha. Sometimes I wonder if I did the right thing by paying for my schooling in cash. I do have one student loan from my first year at Western, but that's it. The other 4 years I paid for myself by working full time. Perhaps if I would have just did student loans at the low interest rate my one loan is at, I could have saved the $25,000+ and already had a nice emergency fund + more. I wonder what Suze Orman would say..... hmmmm... maybe if I could just get this job, then we could easily build that emergency fund up....
Anyway..... sorry for that little random story. Wednesday we had playgroup. I was late in getting the word out about what time it was at though, so there were only three of us. But KaeLee still had fun. One of the girls had three boys and the oldest one pushed KaeLee and Kalli around in the car for a long time. She told me the next day that they were asking when they get to go back to play with the babies. They were very well behaved, but I still was once again reminded that I don't want boys. KaeLee has been very spoiled all week! She had two days of grandparents, playgroup and daycare all day yesterday. Yup. Their first day at daycare again. I'm just glad that they are only going 1 day a week. I forgot how much I hated that place. Again, let's just hope I get the job. Then they will be in full time daycare elsewhere.
I worked on Thursday. I don't usually work on Thursdays, but Shawn is going fishing this weekend so I had to request the weekend off. Tomorrow my cousin, Jennifer, is getting married. I'm not certain I will go yet though. We will see how the girls are doing and if KaeLee can get a nap in beforehand. I haven't seen her in years, so I wouldn't feel too bad if I missed it. Other than that, we have no plans for the weekend. I'm sure I will spend most of the weekend off and on with my parents since Shawn is gone.
KaeLee is expanding her vocab a lot more lately. She will be talking in sentences before we know it! Maybe she will even start potty training soon. We could only hope. Actually, I'm not looking forward to that stage quite yet. But today, she was grabbing her shorts and saying "P-U!" haha... it was quite funny. Yes. She had pooped her pants.
Hannah is getting more and more spoiled it seems. It's getting harder to deal with her at night when she's so tired. She just has the loudest voice ever and it is so hard to deal with. Then she falls asleep but won't stay sleeping when you put her to bed. Urgh. It's frustrating. She is getting so big though. She loves to sit up (except when you are holding her, then she wants to stand... her body becomes a stiff board!) She is so close to rollilng over from her back to her tummy, but her arms just gets in the way. She goes to the doctor Monday. I'm pretty anxious for it actually because her eczema is really bad.
Anyway, not much else going on.... I posted some pictures, but I have some more that I will post..... eventually..... haha For now, Hannah has woken up for the fourth time in the last 45 minutes, so I am off to deal with that AGAIN... ugh. So frustrating! I don't understand why she can't just stay asleep!
