She works hard for her money!

Sooo...I just got a full-time job. I start next week. At Mercy hospital in the labor and delivery dept. from 3-11pm. Ok, so I am going to talk through my emotions right now about it. I haven't worked full time in 3 years, SO that in itself is going to be a huge change. Who is watching my kids you asked? My hubby John is going to go to work in the morning and get home around 2:15 and then I am going to go to work.

Cons
Some downers about it are...we (John and I) won't see each other that much, for right now anyway (usually he is off in the winter and then I think I will be glad to get out of the house). I won't be putting the kids down for bed, which I never really did before, we don't have a bedtime routine they just go potty and sometimes John reads them a bible story. I won't eat dinner with them. (No more dishes? How is that a con?!)

Pros
I get full time benefits and Ryder will be able to be on the same insurance as us (long story, because of his surgery). You get paid more working odd hours at the hospital!! Yeah! And I still get to stay home with my kids during the day and raise them like I have wanted to and still get to help provide for my family and take some stress off my awesome husband that has worked so hard for us all these years! (big breath) What a fun job too working in that dept?! If I would have gone to school for any kinda "medical" degree it was between an eye dr and a labor and del. nurse. So I am kinda close to it...I think that I will learn a lot and maybe down the road I will use my tuition reimbursement! Oh and I get a 401K thingy!!

State Fair 2010

Ok, I wish I could honestly say "I LOVE THE STATE FAIR!" I can't. I think I just kinda like it! I feel like I have to go because I'm an Iowan, I mean I am really proud of the fair, but it can get overwhelming. John doesn't love it either, but we like to take the boys and they have a blast and that's all that matters! We usually go in the evening during the week and half off. We go to our usual and the best homemade lemonade stand and grab a corn dog while we are there...then walk around the the birthing center and the boys just run around and laugh, they loved it!


Then we walked around and saw the animals as usual, John took Gunner down the big slide...Ry was too scared. We saw the heavy machinery, something my boys are obsessed with. And played on some equipment that was set up for sale. We finished with a wonder bar for my Johnny and cheese curds for me! It really was a great time.
