Yesterday I was working and Austin was napping. He came out of the room after an hour or two and climbed up in my lap. We always have post-nap snuggles. Next thing I knew, he was very still and very quiet.

I got a few sleeping baby boy snuggles. I NEVER EVER get them anymore. When is the last time he’s just fallen asleep in my lap?! I don’t know either.

My New Job!

in Awesomesauce,Just Katie

Yaaaaay I got a new job!

I am going to be working front desk at an AMAZING urgent care center here in Charleston. I got my scrubs today & a kick-ace zip up fleece that I want to wear all the time.

It wasn’t the one I was posting about last week {breastfeeding peer counselor position for WIC}. They still haven’t gotten back to me about it, and my heart sinks every time the phone rings because I think it could be them offering a dream job to me. But I keep reminding myself that THIS IS my dream job. It happened quickly, it has great benefits, it’s something I’ve done before and LOVED and it’s, get this, 3 12 hour shifts a week. I have FOUR DAYS OFF with Austin. We can still go to the water park and have so much time together. I can still do my work for AppleCheeks!

So yaaaay for me! I took a good year off from LIFE after the whole split, and it’s totes time to get back in the saddle. Get a job, save up some money {Splittin’ the tax return with the baby daddy! HOLLA!}, get my own place, and be ME again! Maybe I’ll score a boyfriend to make me some food once in a while too ;)))

New Job Paperwork

Oh hi, It’s me! I know you all have just been dying to know where I have been… I can tell from the bajillion emails and tweets and Facebook comments…. ;)

I’m here. Just doing the life thing. Trying to get it back together. Spending lots of time with friends, old & new. The things I am DYING to write about I don’t feel is appropriate due to my situations. The amazingly terrible match.com emails {“looking for someone interesting under the sheets”}, the baby-daddy, his new gf, my “social” situations, & many many many other things I JUST CAN’T DISCLOSE. Damn non-anonymous blog…

Austin is big. He’s totally regressed on the potty. He is back in diapers about 90%. I’m sure I could have spent a little more time on him and been a little tougher, but oh well. He knows ALL his letters and sings the alphabet song :) He knows all his shapes {he loves the octagon!} & colors & loves to draw smiley faces {complete with hair, eyes, nose, ears, and smiley mouth!}. He KILLS me with HILARITY daily.

I’m waiting to hear back from an amazing job… Should hear either way ANY day now… I’m starting to lose some hope… I LOVE my parents but I HAVE GOT to get OUT of this house and on my own again! My AppleCheeks job is going AMAZINGLY fabulous. We just released Appletini and I have so much in store for our next Limited Edition release, I just can’t stand it.

Even though Austin was in the running for the star role in the next exorcism movie yesterday, we had a FANTASTIC Valentine’s Day, definitely the best one yet. Lots of love from all the people I love the most :)

For your viewing pleasure, one million pictures:
