How is everything in Peg Land?
Everything is....so so. Some things are good - some things not so great.
Let's see - the good....Duke is growing like a weed and becoming addicted to mommy's pettings.....he loves to snuggle in my hair for short naps too. He has learned to drink from the bottle and will guzzle down 30-45 cc at a time - he is currently getting two bottles per day but I may have to start him on a third bottle.
I've decided e-lop is for "energetic engineer" lop. Brady got playtime today in the kitchen - I think that "Sir Hawkes" is the smartest bunny we have - possibly even smarter than Nyx (slap me for that please - we've always been impressed with her intelligence as she really seems smarter than most bunnies). Anyway - Sir Brady decided to use his teeth to PICK UP the exercise pen so he could move it around and get out. That's right - he used his teeth and PICKED THE PEN UP! I died laughing as I watched him. At first when he came hopping around the corner from the kitchen I was like, "What the ????"....but I put him back and watched him. He's one smart cookie....we had to keep checking on him every few minutes. He sure seemed to be having fun.
I believe that both Cindy and Sher are pregnant and we should be having babies fairly soon. The nestboxes will be going in probably tomorrow - I need to look up the dates of when I bred them. I'm a nervous wreck....I really want these babies very badly.
My job is....well...its hard to explain. I have a new boss now...and just from his first email this week - I think I'm going to like him - a lot. He said "Here is my picture so you know what I look like" - and he sent a picture of Brad Pitt. I haven't heard back from him - but I sent him a picture of Brad Pitt & George Clooney from Ocean's Eleven and asked if I could meet his partner...since he'd be more my age....
Art & I talked today about my job and the fact that it is ending. I just ran the numbers and we should be able to get by ok without me working if it comes down to that. We know that in October of 2011 - Art will get an $8+ per hour raise (gotta love the unions - even if I hate unions really). Well - not just Art...everyone in his shop will get that raise - this year it is about $1 per hour....it will start Oct. 1st.
Anyway - it would be a bit tight - but I could pick up mystery shopping jobs and various merchandising jobs that might pop up.
But we talked about - if my company gets the account they might get - would I want to stay with them and work on it? Would the work be local or involve driving still?
Would I prefer to get a different job? Would I want to go to the new company that will have the Kraft contract?
So much to think about....
It also doesn't help that Art is now on mid shift - which means he starts work at 10 pm and gets off at 6 am......
From Sunday night until yesterday afternoon at 5 pm - I slept about 40 hours....partly cause it is so hot and our bedroom is cool during the day - but I can't do much in there with him sleeping. I've been up now for almost 24 hours and hope to go to bed when he goes to work tonight - so I can reset my internal clock (and work tomorrow).
He'll be on mids for 2 months...and its just not an easy time...although I love being able to have the car any time during the day that I want it or need it.
Anyway - that's life for now. When life gets busy like this or I feel overwhelmed with decisions - I tend to pull away from the "extras" like friends...and the internet stuff. I just can't handle it all....
I'll be back soon...probably with photos..
