Night Owl

My new schedule is relentless. I have yet to figure out how and when to sleep and I am pretty sure it is NOT when I am driving! Mom has been helping with the kids and we have simultaneously been on vacation camping. Lots of juggling. The kids are all doing very good. They are cooperating and helping and making me very proud of them as I know this isn't easy on them either. Today, I am off and we plan to go to the beach and have some real fun.

The New Job

I am officially starting my new job in the casino industry this coming Monday. It will be part time, but with travel, full time....should be interesting! This proves to be one of the larger nightmares in my life of turmoil! Josh has been working at Taco Bell for 6 months now and is going to football practice almost every day. Jessie is in a constant state of boredom (when we don't pay good money for entertainment) and has the typical "teenager" attitude which she has lovingly (?) passed down to her two younger siblings. You should hear my 3 year old (Juliet) tell me that "it really burns my ass".....She will be the hit of daycare!!! I never imagined having the kid in daycare who talks like a sailor and teaches all the little tykes the "f" word! Jenna is growing up super fast and her biggest daily dilemmas include "when can I go on-line?" and "am I a 'Goth' or a girly-girl?"....

As far as the dog goes....we are currently not on speaking terms. She is evil and obviously out to make my life Hell on earth. She has eaten everything of value including my sofa. She is a beast. Life after vacation is so complex! Next week is vacation #2 which is a canoe trip up North. I will be working (but don't have my schedule yet)...so I will become a visitor on the canoe trip. Should be fun for Gabby....all those kids to entertain.....hey, I might not be able to find my way up there on my days off......what a dream!!!

Disney World!!!!

Hello all!
We have returned from our fabulous Disney Resort vacation and we are doing great! It was a trip of a lifetime and we all had a ton of fun!!! I will post some photos. Other than some rain, we had 7 days of non-stop fun and had to come home to get some rest. Our resort was unbelievable.....I loved it! We were treated so well there and soaked up all the great scenery. Back to the real world.....I did get tired of people telling us to "Have a Magical Day"....My favorite overheard conversation was at the Animal Kingdom....A mom and dad were fighting over something while pushing two strollers and dealing with some bad weather...the mom says, "I don't like your attitude"....the dad says "I don't like your's either!" The mother-in-law says "Neither one of you are giving a Magical Answer! We are supposed to be having a Magical Day!!!" They all laughed and seemed to snap back into a Magical mood! I loved it!!!! (considering Gabby and I were starting to pick on each other too!)
