Just a few things...I'm bored....

So I'm just waiting for Chuck to get home from work....Allison is sitting in her high chair...finishing up the rest of her dinner....cheerios!!! She wasn't too sure about eating them after eating her mixed veggies, but there is only 1 cheerio left on her "plate" for her to eat. I'm in the process of cooking dinner...or shall I say making??? We are doing a boxed dinner tonight...Hamburger Helper..Stroganoff....Chuck's fave....I spent the day cleaning the whole house...and I mean whole house...so I'm extremely tired, and decided to go the easy way tonight! Plus we'll be cooking up dinner everyday starting tomorrow....Bonnie will arrive in the afternoon and will be here until Tues. morning. We are really looking forward to having her down. Not much planned though. Just relaxation!!!!

We have a picnic/pool party with Chuck's coworkers to go to on Saturday, so that will be fun! I'm planning on taking Snicker Salad! YUM YUM in my tum!!! Funny story....I took it last year...and all of Chuck's coworkers thought that it was something I concocted while I was pregnant....snickers, apples and cool whip!!!! I got a kick out of that, but they seemed to get a bigger kick out of my salad/dessert!

So a few have been asking about the job I applied for at the ambulance/fire department in Pleasant Hill...the small town just a short drive from our home.....I haven't received a letter or a phone call yet....still hoping, but have a feeling that I won't get the position. However, we won't know until next week...it sucks waiting, b/c I've really put off on other job searching and such.
But while I've been waiting, I've updated my profile on a Nanny website and got a 'hit'. A family about 25 minutes away from us is looking for a nanny for their 2 children. They said it's okay if I were to bring Allison on days that I needed too, (days that chuck isn't home). So I'm going to meet the family sometime on Tuesday. The pay isn't extremely high, but we don't have to pay for daycare and we think of that as a HUGE plus!!!! Otherwise I probably wouldn't have even considered it.
Plus, one of Chuck's coworkers is having a baby in november, and have "hit" me up to possibly care for their baby starting in February, at least 2 days a week. She works 2-24 hr shifts. So we might be able to work something out as far as caring for 3 children as well as Allison. So, I'm pretty excited about it!!!
Okay well, I need to go finish up dinner. Chuck should be pulling in anytime now!!!

yeah that snicker stuff is a weird concoction, but oddly yummy...even if you don't get paid much for the nanny jobs, at least you don't have to pay for daycare...you'd probably bank more than you think...good luck!
