Last But First Day

Things have changed pretty big for me. For a while I have been tired of working nights. I hate that I'm gone after they get off school but am home alone during the day. I searched for a while for a job and back in November I interview for 2 jobs. One was the perfect job time for me, I'd have every Friday off. I was very excited when I got the call and I got the job. Thanks to it being in the middle of the holiday times it took a while to get everything set up, but January 31 was my last day in HIM. The next night we had a little party to celebrate that i don't work nights anymore. We went out to eat. The kids chose the place. 

 Then we came back to the house and played cards with chips that they could buy prizes in the end. It was a lot of fun until Camden wasn't number 1 the whole time and threw a minor fit. He eventually got over it and the night was a lot of fun. 

 This past Monday was my first day at Rheumatology and Arthritis. Nervous doesn't really cover what I felt, but I didn't sleep super great that night. I just observed for 2 days and the rest of the week I have training. It helped the first day to know I had a lot of support from everyone. My trainer in the office is really good and patient. Mom and Dad sent me flowers that I got at work and when I got home Brad and the kids got me some flowers and cards as well. 

 It is really going to take a few weeks to get used to getting up early and being awake all day. I feel like I worked night shifts all week, even though I have only worked days. 

Super bowl Sunday happened, it was a slow, boring game, but one good thing happened, it was Grandpa Arrington's birthday. During half time we had cheesecake upstairs, which the kids loved, especially all of the cream and chocolate they put on it. 

Jacks had a really loose tooth this weekend, so loose that he could pretty much push it all of the way to the front and back of his mouth, just holding on by a thread. Brad said he wanted to see it. He just pushed up a little bit and it popped out. After Jacks saw the tooth he was shocked and one of the first things he said was 'Dad lied to me.' It was said in such a shocked way it was both funny but sad, like he didn't know dad would do that. He looks so cute with missing one of his front teeth. We are almost done with all of our kids losing their front teeth!
