O Amber, where art thou?
Hi Blog, remember me? I'm Amber. You thought that I forgot about you didn't you? Gees, life has been crazy, sometimes I feel like I don't get things done because I am crazy busy then other days I feel like I get a chance to take a breath and lazyness abounds and I accomplish NOTHING. So what's new in the life of me you ask?
In the past month or so I applied, interviewed, got hired & started a new position at work! I'm still in the same department, but now working in the Animal Surgery & Operating Room as a Vet Tech. YAY, finally back to what I went to school to do. Lucky for me doing anesthesia has been a bit like riding a bike and after 4 years of not doing it, it's all come right back to me. So far I'm in my second week at my new job and I'm loving it. I have new work hours so life outside of work has been a little crazy on my work days cause I'm on a 10 hour shift now so that makes me be gone from home for 12 hours a day right now (will be 12.5 when my new vanpool starts up). But, I only have to work 4 days a week, so that's a huge plus. Eventually I will be on Mon-Thurs. but for now I'm working with my supervisors schedule so it kind of moves around to the days that we need to be here for coverage. It makes for 4 day weekends every so often so I'm down for that! The good thing about staying within the University is that I don't lose any of my seniority, vacation time, benefits, or retirement so all good things.
I've been doing quite a few photo sessions lately and a couple of weddings on my days off, it keeps me busy but I absolutely love doing it and it doesn't feel like work to me at all so that's good.
Addison is 21 months old now, seriously, how does this keep happening? She continues to have a great personality, she's pretty easy going most days, we have toddler tantrums but they are generally easily controlled. She's super friendly, not shy at all (unless I am carrying her for some reason she puts on a shy front) and a motor mouth, she says so many things and most of them are clear as can be. She will pretty much try to say anything that you tell her. My favorites lately are "What Hap-pon to shoe?" what happened to your shoe, which shes been repeating from me all week, "Da-Bee" which is the letter W, "papple" for Apple, "Cass-e" (my step sister), and when we go outside or she can see Nick & Joey's house out the window of our house she will say "Nick's House, And Jo-ee". She says the name of the baby sitters daughter still as "Cole"- Nichole. And she LOVES SpongeBob, she probably could listen to the theme song all day! And now she like to tell me "Help you" "Addison Help Momma" or "I Help" when she thinks she needs to help me with anything. She's learning her manners and will tell us "please" "tank you, momma" (its always momma no matter who she's telling), and "sorey". Her sponge like absorbency of everything lately is impressive. Love that crazy little girl.
Just thought I'd get back on the blogging wagon, maybe....MAYBE I can keep up now?
