I am so silly, to help me figure out just what Caleb needed as he outgrows his toys and clothes, I updated his baby registry. I told everyone about it, but didn’t realize I could have just done a Gift registry at Toysrus as opposed to his baby registry. Oh well, it was easier than setting up something new and it’s easier for me to track what he needs and what I want him to have as he grows.
In other news, I worked more on the night stand I am painting for Caleb’s room. Tonight we went to this craft store where almost everything was on sale and found some great stamps of a lion and giraffe that match the theme of his room. So tonight I did touch ups on the paint job and fought w/ the paint and stamps to get it to look oh so cute! I think we are going to try to find a clear glossy to go over it so that the animals stay put and I carelessly used blue flat paint and white glossy, so I need to fix that somehow. I am hoping that such a clear finish is available, with any luck super dad will find it tomorrow during his trip to Home Depot. I’ll put up pics of the finished night stand as soon as I get the task itself completely.
We had two tests last week in training at work, I aced one and only got 2 wrong on the other, and I swear they were trick questions! I had another test today and we will have daily quizzes until traning is over, or rather til this Friday when we have a 100 ? final. We have to get an average of at least 70 on all the tests including the final to keep the job, funny how we can go through 3 weeks of training and still maybe not have the job! I have no worry really, just thought you’d agree with me in that this is the real world, aren’t quizzes for high school?
I just realized I actually had time to blog today!!! Hooray for me! It’s amazing though, I didnt get home til 8 tonight and then spent an hour working on my painting project and then did housework and now I am finally winding down. We went to order the cake for the big birthday bash tonight, my aunt decorates cakes at a locate bakery so she is going to make it for us. Then we went to dinner w/ my mom and step dad. Funny thing is that that was unplanned. We called them since we were on their “side” of town and heading out to eat and I was somewhat suprised they opted to go with us. I never saw them as being the last minute planning type, but I think we are rubbing off on them, with our constant hey, we are going to stop by in well 10 minutes, antics! It was a nice evening out and I felt much less stressed even after coming home to lots to do. I think it has a lot to do with my attitude towards things. I greatly appreciated Dean’s idea to head out to dinner instead of going home to all the things waiting to be done, and we just took the evening as it came. Dinner, a little shopping, and overall a peace in the air. Aaahhh! Sure was a good day for a Monday!
