Work, work all night long...

Wow time flies when you're working... well most day's that is.
I've been working for almost two weeks now. I'm getting used to the work. Standing for 8 hours is really tough on my legs. They hurt so bad right now! I feel like I have been working my legs out for a month straight, they ache so bad... Nothing that a little Advil wont help.

If you didn't know it yet I'm working at Beehive Clothing sewing Garments. Specifically Carinessa tops (don't know if I spelled  that right, but you get what I'm saying, right?) I'm getting the hang of it, I can now do about 4-5 tops a day, which is really slow considering they do about 300+ a day. So I have a long ways to go. I'll get there, right now I'm going slow so I have good quality and no defects.

The Girls are enjoying playing at Grandmas house everyday. I'm so appreciative of Greg's mom for watching the girls from when I drop them off to when Greg go's to pick them up. The girls have so much fun while they're there. Aliesha and Kenzie say they miss me, but things are still the same. I was afraid that they would be really clingy and want my attention more, but they love having Daddy cook dinner and play with them. They always scream GOODNIGHT MOMMY! WE LOVE YOU! HAVE A GOOD NIGHT! Right before they go to bed. And I can totally hear them! ;)

Greg is such a huge help. He makes sure if the dishes in the dishwasher are dirty he'll add more and then wash them, if there's a load of clothes to be washed he'll wash them for me. When I come home from work the house is always clean. Which helps me out in the day's when I play with the girls... and of course I clean my fair share too. He really is a big help to me, though, and I appreciate it. 

Going to work was a scary thing for  me at first. The last time I worked I was in High school! So I was scared of the work, and the social aspect. But I've made good friends with people, and I love their company.  All in all it's going really good. I still need to get a schedule going cause last week I forgot to plan a primary lesson, so Saturday night I was up planning a lesson, oops. Ha. 

I love being busy and having something to do. It makes me feel more grown up, and I've found that I get less bored during the day's now, which is good.

60 degrees. Oh how I welcome thee!

 I just loved the weather today! The girls loved it too. We all got to get out and play in the yard wearing jeans, T-shirt, tennis shoes, and a light jacket. First time, this year, for that. And they loved getting out and not being stuck in the house. I got a little ambitious and started cleaning out the flower garden. I love day's like these, perfect weather, and lots of fun. I just wish that it didn't end in tears when I tell the girls it's time to go inside and clean up so I can get dinner fixed. Oh well at least the majority of the day was spent laughing, and smiling.
 
 Riding bikes! Kenzie doesn't quite get how to pedal yet, 
but she loves to be pushed around.

 The neighbor kids came out to play... and of course they went straight for the snow...
But hey they had a fun snowball fight.
 The flower garden. I will never ever ever ever EVER do a rock bed EVER again!
My fingers hurt so bad after scraping half of the rocks out of the flower bed. But
I think it's going to look, better without all the rocks. And it's going to be much easier for 
me to weed the flower bed!


I'm looking forward to more fun outside days like today. I love the snow, but it's nice to just get out and soak in the sun... Plus both of my girls are really tired... that means bed time is gonna be easy as pie.
