This and That

Tyler was released from the hospital today, and is staying with his mom tonight. He's still really wiped out, so we have Kaitlin tonight to let Tyler get rested up. Zack and Kaylee are fine now..so maybe by the weekend everything will be back to normal around here.

I started my part-time job last night, and I really like it, but I don't think it is going to work out. They only have me scheduled for 5 hours next week. What's the point? If these are the kind of hours I can get a few weeks before Christmas, what's it going to be like after Christmas? I'll probably wait until after the holidays to decide what to do, but it doesn't look very good at the moment. It's a shame too, because my new boss showed me the sales report for last week, of which I hadn't even started working yet, but already had over $500 in sales from people that I sent in over the weekend sale.

We are expecting our first accumulative snow tomorrow, about 4 inches, and I gotta tell you, I'm dreading it! I just find it a nuisance seeing as no one in the state of Missouri knows how to drive in inclement weather! On a regular day, it takes me an hour to get to work, but on the first snow day, I can pretty much count on a 3 hour drive in to work. Our company has a really good snow policy though, and as long as you make an attempt to get to work, they give you an entire day's pay. The problem with that, is that we have a Jeep Grand and a Ford Expedition. We decided that Bobby will drive the Jeep tomorrow because it's 4 wheel drive and he has to take the windy backroads to work. The Expedition is just a 2 wheel drive, but I seriously doubt anyone is going to believe it's a 2 wheel drive! I've never not showed up for work on a snow day though, even in my regular car days.

My workouts have been pretty good all week. Tonight was UBWO, and it was pretty good! My hammy's still hurt from Monday even! I'm going on three weeks of clean eating, and still have my calories between 1700-1800, but I will drop it back down on Monday. Bobby is slacking though! He's missed three workouts this week, and I've noticed he's starting to go back to having seconds at dinner. I know the last three days were difficult for him to stay clean eating, with going to the hospital, and he's been exhausted from working all day and going to the hospital at night....so I'll excuse it this week! But he started sliding last week! When we first started this, I thought for sure I'd be the first one to start missing workouts, not the other way around!
