So....

I got the job!!! I couldnt say because I didnt want to have to answer a bunch of questions if I didnt get it but I have been interviewing for the last month for a telephonic sales rep position in my same company. I have been looking for something different for a while but wanted the right fit. I love the company I work for and it's so close to home and the benefits are great.. So I found something internal and it all just fell into place and seems like it was meant to be...

The only downfall on top of a promotion, more freedom, more challenges and the possibility of working from home is 5 weeks of training in Charlotte, NC. Ugh. My husband is not happy and I don't know how i am going to be away from my kids and Thomas for that long... Its 3 weeks straight, then 2 weeks home, then 2 weeks back in North Carolina. Good thing is they will fly me home every weekend so I will only have to go 5 days without seeing them. And I get to rack up the frequent flyer miles and hotel points. AND after that, no more late nights and no more travel again after that. Short term sacrifice for long term gains..

Kirstynn has been waking up again.. UGH! I have to break her of this before I leave or Thomas is going to lose his mind.. Anyone have any suggestions and what has worked for them? Its only once and once she eats, she goes right back down and its fairly sporatic. She doesnt wake up every night.... Help!

Twlight Movie

I finally saw the Twilight movie yesterday! Keep in mind too that I haven't been to a real movie in a real theater in over ONE YEAR! That's right... ONE YEAR!
I went in with VERY low expectations of it and wasn't even completely looking forward to it because I know that the movies never live up to the books, but I LOVED it!
I think they nailed Edward on the head! He was fantastic and I fell in love with him all over again!

Besides that, my little Kirstynn has been waking up in the middle of the night again. For the very first time in 10+ months, last night my husband got up with her (WHOO HOO!)
But brought her in bed with us to give her the bottle so I was still up the entire time and he was snoring again before I could get back down...
I guess just be thankful for the little victories. I think his plan worked though. I will just get up anyway from now on. No use in both of us being tired.

Funny thing is I am a big fan of letting them cry it out at this age (they love routine and if you pick them up once, they will do it twice and then you can just forget it) but because I know her teeth are just now coming through and I feel like there is a growth spurt in the mix, I don't want to ignore it, you know?
Plus, she really only has a little more than a month of being on the bottle. After her birthday, there will be no option of eating at 2am...... So, I'm trying to enjoy it while I can.... (yes, I just said enjoy night waking)...

My little announcement is delayed a bit (heck, there might not even be one) but I should know one way or another by Friday I think. I'll keep you posted.

A few more Christmas pictures...
