Pretty Dresses

I just have to share a happy moment for me. I tried on my "skinny" dress. The one that hangs in the back of the closet because I wanted to fit into it someday. It fits! Just gotta say that breast feeding is amazing.

An Update of Non-Crafty Proportions

Since obtaining my job working for an insurance agent, I have turned into a sponge. Soaking up as much as will fit into my brain. I love that my job now entails helping people and working with people to prepare them for the unexpected. Also, teaching them about insurance. I knew very little before I started and now I have the chance to teach people about exactly what they are paying for and customizing it to their life once they understand it.

But in all of this craziness I have done no crafting or done anything new domestically (besides the zillionth diaper load in the laundry, but daddy and James's grandma helps with that). It is okay though, because once life is settled, I will have just that much more inspiration. Also, by learning about something new, I am improving my quality of life. I am increasing my knowledge and becoming more well versed and defined. (Hah, slowly but surely) Which will also give me tons of inspiration.

Because I don't have anything new to show for this last month. Here is a picture of James going into a splash pool for the first time.

Suffering From Mushy Brain

My brain is mush. Soggy. Everything is all fuzzy.

I am in the midst of getting my property and casualty insurance producer license. I am really excited that I got a job working for an insurance agent. So this week I am taking 40 hours worth of classes to prepare for my test next week. Talk about a crash course in insurance. I am learning an insane amount of material. I should be studying right now too, but like I said. I suffer from soggy brain and not even a caribou coffee is healing me.

I am staying with a friend all week to take the course. It is the longest I have been away from James since he was born. It was going to be 5 days but Mr sir surprised me last night and brought him for a visit and a little midweek pick-me-up. He surprised me and meet me and my sister for pizza. It worked very well and was much needed visit with Mr sir, James and my sister. (Have I mentioned how much I love him?) I miss them both but this week is for learning and I retain better when I'm not distracted by a cute baby.

I think I am getting a cold too. It started with allergies but now I have that weird feeling in my nose and throat. Yes, I have been taking my vitamins. I think it is just the craziness of my insane life catching up with me. I can't wait until I can get both feet back on the ground.

Alright, I took my break. Time to go attempt to retain some more information.
Live and love.

The Best Six Doctors

The best six doctors anywhere
And no one can deny it.
Are sunshine, water, rest, and air
exercise and diet.
These six will gladly you attend
If only you are willing
Your mind they'll ease
Your will they'll mend
And charge you not a shilling.
