My 100th post + some =)

As most of you know Picture People hasn't been giving me the hours and happiness I need in a job, so I've been out looking. I had an interview on Wednesday at Winco and they said they would call me back Thursday to let me know what they were going to do after they interviewed 3 others. This morning (Friday) I was up getting ready for work and got a call from them at 9:30 am. She asked if I could come in this morning for a follow-up interview. I looked at the clock and said I could be there at 10. Then I looked in the mirror at myself... my hair was soaked from the shower and I had no make-up on. I was going to have to get ready really fast!!! Believe it or not... I was out the door at 9:40 with my hair blow dried and somewhat flat ironed and make-up on. I got there by about 9:55 after walking in and getting upstairs and Penney knowing I had to be to work at 10:30 had me take a seat, told me Paulette wanted to offer me the position and to initial these papers. Then she handed me a "drug test bag" and directions to the Dr's office to get it at and sent me on my way. I got to the Dr's office about 10:10 and did the drug test then headed off {QUICKLY} to work. I literally got to work at 10:30 and my manager was dialing my number making sure I was coming as I walked in. I worked my 10:30-4 shift and actually got off at 3:30. I got home and soon after got another call from Penney and Winco. She had already gotten my results back {negative for everything of course for all you wondering} and they want me to start on Tuesday. I already have a total of 24 hours scheduled next week. I'm going to be making nearly a dollar more an hour and have about double the hours. It's a 12-8:30am shift. It will definitely be hard to get used to, but I'll be making good money and hopefully get used to it quickly. Truthfully I enjoyed the Picture People... just not the drama that went along with it. I'm excited for the change!

Speaking of change... Jes is {finally} done with his clinicals and is moving on and starting his Paramedic Internship. He will be interning with Clark County American Medical Response. There's a rotation that he will follow and the shifts are from 10am-10pm. Just 12 hours and not overnight, so we're happy about that. In just a few short months Jes will have his Paramedic Degree looking for work.

Jackson is doing well. Growing up faster and faster everyday it seems. I can't believe he will be 2 in August! It's unbelievable! His vocabulary is growing a lot and he keeps busy playing with his cars. His favorite movie is "Cars". He's a good kid for the most part and he will eat just about anything we put in front of him. I'm happy to have a good eater!
