The End

Today was my last day at my current job. It was bittersweet to say the least. My sister has taken over my former position and I have no doubts that she is the perfect replacement and she will do very well. I'm super excited for her and hope that this position opens many doors for her.

The good thing about her taking over is that she went shopping with the boss yesterday and today not only did he buy us all lunch (my favorite, Mexican) but I was also presented with a basket full of goodies for the baby which contained a $100 Wal-Mart shopping card as well as a very sweet card signed by my friends, co-workers, customers, and even hubby (he's a customer) and he wrote the sweetest message inside that got me a bit teary eyed. *sniff*

I will still have my "mommy" duties of getting Shelby and Tyler to and from school and pre-school so I'll still have to get up and at 'em every morning but to know that I won't have the pressures of the job that I was in will be nice for sure. I will help Brien out at his office after the baby is born and we have some recovery time.  Next week I am going to try to take it easy and have some "me" time in preparation for this new little addition.  Daddy and Memaw (my mother in law) will have to assume the chauffeur role for a bit while I'm out of commission with the new baby.

For now, we're just playing the waiting game.  With little to no patience, this mommy does NOT like to play this game.  Hopefully it'll all be over very soon.  Stay tuned...

Christmas gifts for me?! Hmmm...

My list wasn't very long this year. The reason is very simple. Mostly I didn't ask for a lot because I don't need or want a lot. I'm just one of those people that when I see something I want, I just get it. Well, that is within reason. There is one thing that I would really love to have...a new truck. I have an '02 Dodge Ram Quad Cab. I would LOVE to trade it in on something a little different. I want to get an SUV. I'm not really that particular as to what it has to be. Just something with four doors and some cargo room that is weather proof. I know I won't be getting this for the holidays, however so I guess I'll just have to hope for some good truck accessories instead, right?!
