A mother's job is never done.....

Well, I've been at my job a little over 3 weeks and so far so good. :) I actually got asked if I wanted to do Listing coordination instead of Transaction coordination, and I took it. Pay isn't any different but I think I will like it. I love dealing with photos, flyers and stuff so it seems like it might be a good fit. :) I miss seeing the boys every day all day. JJ actually told me the other day that he was upset that I was gone all day, but what do you do. I explained that if he wants new DS games, mommy has to work. 

I am trying to come up with some new ideas, for my other blog.... what to blog about. Check it out. Http://www.missmandiescreations.blogspot.com :)

Gotta go get dinner made. Mother's job is never done!

What's MY Normal you ask.....

My friend, one of my many "sisters" blogged today, and at the end of her blog she says "What's your normal?

I think that for me, my days are not "normal" compared to others. Or maybe they are, I guess it just depends on who you ask. I am the mother to two very active boys, ages 17 months (Alexavier) and 5 years old.(Joshua Jr...JJ) I hear many different things from JJ every day. Today I came home from work (it still feels weird to say I go to work....) and JJ preceeds to say "I can't go to bed... Mommy brain washed me". I am sitting on the couch going, where in the heck did he ever hear anything about brain washing. So I go in to his room to ask. He says "Avatar MOM.. DUH!!!". Like I keep up with all of that. My Mom took him and my nephew Johnathan to see the movie..I never have even watched an episode. :) I laughed though, just cause he was dead set on saying I brain washed him. So I say "JJ what does it mean when you brain wash someone". He didn't know. So I told him. He goes. "Oh, so you didn't brain wash me?" I say. "Nope, now go to bed". So now I need to learn about Avatar. We have a few episodes on DVD. I better pull them out and watch at least one. Does anyone else watch it? Can you give me some tips or something?

Alexavier learned how to blow kisses. Its' the most adorable thing. I do it to him all the time but tonight he had his hand up to his mouth going "mmmmmmmm" and then just pulled it away and smiled so big. It was SOO sweet. I wish I got it on video, I'm sure I will soon. I love how he is so different than JJ was at this age. He's 17 months and although he's very quiet (where as JJ WAS NEVER) he is very smart, and shy and just so quiet and sweet. Don't get me wrong, he has his moments. Like when you take things away that he's not supposed to have..phones, remotes, cameras...laptops etc. Pretty much anything he SHOULDN'T play with. He goes completly nuts. But then after a few minutes he's good to go again.

Normal at work? Is there such a thing? I've only been there a week, and am really enjoying learning another part of the real estate world. It's not a job where you have ANYTHING normal. Every day is different, maybe that's why I like the Real Estate industry. Things change daily, you work with new people or whatnot all the time.

So that's my normal, if you can call it that. I don't think anything about my life is normal right now. I guess it's a  new normal? I think things change too much too often to be normal. Just my opinion.

2 Year Old Blogger....

That's me! I started this blog 3/19/08. :) I don't blog on a regular basis, just when I have things to share, I'm trying to change that but we'll see how that goes. So Happy 2 years Amanda's Randomness!

Guess who....

got a job?! That would be me!! I am now an Administrative Assistant in the REO Department at Hellickson Real Estate. Tomorrow will be day 3 in my new position, and the gal (Michelle) who is training me went out of town for Friday & Monday. I hope she has a good time, but I'm a little nervous. She'll be available by e-mail (thank heavens) but I am hoping not to have to e-mail her much. :) We'll see how it goes. It's the last week of the month, and a Friday. I see a busy day ahead.

This woman should NOT had kids!

As I was reading the online version of the Tacoma News Tribune, I came across this article. The parents of a child, starved her, so she wouldn't "Get Fat". Terribly sad. What kind of a person does that? Please click the following link to read the complete story.

Sleep,or the lack there of..

It seems that as I  have gotten older, I have a harder and harder time sleeping. If it isn't my 5 year old not wanting to GO to bed, (hence keeping me up late) it's my 1 year old waking up and wanting to sleep in the bed with us. Today however, I woke up on my own, around 5:30 am and couldn't for the life of me go back to sleep. So I thought I would blog.  been a few months since I posted anything. I know I've said it before, but I really do want to get this blogging thing going on a regular basis.

The last week has been a crazy one at my house. Both the hubby and I had what we thought was Food Poisoning.  The said food poisoning lasted a lot longer for me than Josh, so now I think it was maybe the flu. I hope that anyone I came in contact with stays healthy! I wouldn't wish that on anyone!

Today is going to be laundry day. Hubby and I are having a "get-a-way" to Tukwila and the Larkspur Landing tomorrow evening. WOO HOO!!! Maybe not having the kiddos with me will allow me to get some kind of real rest!! Plus I get to sleep in! YAY! Thanks Latara for keeping the boys overnight for me! I'll post more about our get away when we get back.
