Not a whole lot has been going on in our lives lately...
It's all been pretty much the same thing day to day. The kids having fun and enjoying the summer. And of course, the "occassional" fighting which is driving me insane. I can think of one little person who really needs to go back to school.
We took a nice trip to the zoo last Saturday with friends of ours and my little sisters small family. We had lots of fun, though we didn't have a lot of time. We arrived at the zoo around 4 and they close at 6:30. We figured we should have plenty of time to see what was there. However, Saturday was still plenty dang hot at that time. They had a sno cone special for $0.75 so we all had to have one. Though we didn't have a whole lot of time we all enjoyed the time we got to spend together and the kids had lots of fun. Eric's parents gift to all the kids this year for their birthdays was a membership to the zoo. So, it wasn't a big lose not seeing everything. We can go back whenever we want to. I had to post the picture of Eric because it is RARE that he will actually let someone take a picture of him without him making a funny face or turning his head. I was very glad he cooperated. Nice to have a picture of his face and not his profile.
After the zoo our friends had another appointment they had to go to, so the rest of us figured out what we wanted to do. My little sisters husband really wanted to go see "Transformers" and Eric didn't mind that at all. (He'd already seen it twice) My sister and I weren't really in the mood to go see a movie, so we decided the guys could go to the movie and we would go shopping.
It turned out to be a good night, but we were all exhausted by the time we got home. It's been nice to take this week slow. My little brother is staying with us this week and I hope he's had fun. My parents went away to Girl's Camp, so it was nice for him to have somewhere to go.
Sunday is Tanis' 7th birthday. We are getting geared up for that. He is excited. I was frustrated with when I got the invitations...The package with all the bday decorations and invites didn't come as soon as I had hoped, so his invites just barely went out yesterday. I hope everyone receives them in time.
As for the job, I've decided I need to find something new. I am too stressed out... Smith's wants so much "perfection" that it is just driving me crazy. We have produce tests every so often, have to be scanning 28 items or something per minute, and do a bunch of other things. I don't know, for the most part it wouldn't be so bad. But I just don't have enough coordination to go super fast when scanning things, and I don't know enough about produce to be too effective. I applied for a job with the city that would be part time doing things I did when Eric and I first got married. I am so hoping it will work out. I am so much more comfortable in an office setting. If anyone else hears of other job opportunities that will allow me to kind of work around a Kindergarten schedule please let me know...
Still need to get back to the gym...Don't know what is holding me back. This week would've been a perfect week to go, but I've just been too lazy.
Hope everyone is doing well.
