I lived to see my first pay check!

Friday was pay day and marked two weeks and one day for me at Costco! I'm still trying to deal with the late nights but actually think that I'm getting too much sleep now. In my mind I think I need to sleep longer instead of getting up with the alarm so end up sleeping for 10 hours sometimes! That's easily fixed though. I'm not getting bruised as much so that's good and I'm actually starting to 'help' out people that are about a week behind me in the hiring process.

My boss is going to a different store so now all of a sudden my request for certain days off and certain start times are being honored. Don't know if one has anything to do with the other or not but I'm not complaining either way!

K.C. is doing a great job with the girls and the house. I've been trying to get a chore board in place for us but he's just stepped up on his own to take care of things so don't know that we really need it now!

The girls are loving their time with Daddy and don't ever protest when I leave for work (well, Quinn did once but she was woken up from a too-short nap in the car). That makes me feel good. I like that they aren't so dependant on me and actually go to Daddy when I'm home sometimes.

I've had my next door neighbors come through my line which was funny for both of us! I know the kids more than I know the parents so I'm sure I had a confused look on my face, as did they, when we saw each other. My friend Annie and her family were in too so found me to say hi.

I'm going to have to go shopping for smaller jeans again! Between the AdvoCare products (http://www.advocare.com/08081251) and all of the exercise I'm getting while working, my 'skinny' jeans are too big for me now! BONUS! I've almost got my pre-baby body back so that means I'll probably get knocked up again:)

So, all in all, the job is going well and everyone is adjusting to it just fine. I loved seeing that check and loved that I didn't have to split it with anyone because of child care this time! Instead, I sent it ALL to the credit card company:( I only have to do that about a dozen or so more times before I can start calling it all mine! (sigh)
