I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so you can appreciate them when they're right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together. -Marilyn Monroe
How in the world could I forget to post about the BIGGEST news of all??????
As of today, Leo has been off the boob for 7 days. He had officially weaned himself. He didn't ask for it at all yesterday and only asked for it once a day on every other day before that. He was only asking for it when he was bored with whatever activity that he was doing. I would guide him to another activity and he would forget that he even asked. I believe that the pregnancy is slowing down my milk production. He was not nursing as long lately, and would occassionaly say things about the milk being all gone after only a few minutes of nursing.
My co-worker is involved in her Senior Research Project this semester, and the topic of research is international adoption. Her professor is requiring her to survey 100 people with a questionaire that she had to put together in order to include a "random sample" result with her research project.
If you would like to help my co-worker out by completing this anonymous survey, please message me with your email address. I will then forward the survey to you, and you just need to complete it and fax it her to with no cover sheet. Its a quick 20 questions, multiple choice survey.
PLEASE help her out! It will be greatly appreciated.
Right after the rain a couple of weeks ago, my little brother Dylan found a baby hummingbird that was having trouble flying. Having a good heart, he decided to take care of the bird so that none of the neighborhood cats would make him dinner. The bird was around for about an hour before his wings dried and he flew home. My dad took these pictures, which I thought were pretty cool and would share with you:
I got REALLY sick of working from home. Alot of people think its an ideal situation, but for me it seriously ended up SUCKING. There are many factors that contributed to the job sucking, but it all snowballed and I quit.
I have been working since then. I have had 2 really good jobs offers, I am deciding on whether or not I want them. I am waiting to here back from another company in Carson, I was REALLY REALLY wanting the job after I interviewed. I have been temping until I decide what I REALLY want to do, and now it turns out that my 'temp' job assignment wants me permenently too. AHH, decisions decisions. I am thinking that I just might take the perm position at the place that I am temping at. I am working as an office coordinator/ administrative assistant for this commericial property investment/ management company in Cypress- I pass your house on my way to work almost every day Jennifer!!!!!!! Anyway, the pay is freaking AWESOME.. and will be even better once perm and I am really learning ALOT. The position has ALOT of growth potential and I am getting really excited about it. Hmmmmmmmmmmmm......
Leo is getting bigger EVERYDAY. I seriously can't believe what a big boy he is. He said the word BOOBIES a couple of weeks ago. He is talking sooooooo much. He mimicks almost everything that you say or do. He gives this looks where he lowers his eyebrows at you if he doesn't like something that you say or do. If looks could kill, we would probably all be dead. hahahahaha.
