Better Opportunities

So alot has happened in the past 3 weeks, I cannot believe it’s been that long since I’ve updated.

Work
I didn’t mention anything because I didn’t want to jinx it (ever notice soon as you mention the possibility of something good happening, it doesn’t), I ended up having an interview as a PSW at BS on August 2nd, which is the company in which I have been trying to get a job at since I’ve been done school. Well I ended up getting the job. I finished my last day at WC last Thursday (17th) and my last day at Pala will be next Thursday. For me to take the job, I had to thing long and hard about it because it came with pros and cons of only having one job. Here was the list I got:
PROS:
-More money. (was getting $12.5/hr + $2.60/hr for KMS with WC, and $12 at Pala), higher hrly wage PLUS 40cents a kilometer. If I have to go more then 25kms to work, which I’ll have to because I live in the boons, I’ll get paid anything above 25kms, same goes for going home.
-Benefits after 3 months. (50% meds, which is okay because I get 80% on Shawn’s, $250/yr per person per specialist so massage therapist, chiropractor ect…, eye glasses $100 every 2 years, to add to the $250 I get from Shawn. Plus life insurance and other things)
-Better hours, no more split shifts, works great for child care.
CONS:
-No longer working in home town
-Loosing the clients I already knew

See so much better for me to jump ship and go on with BS. I had orientation with them this past Tuesday and Wednesday and I’ll be doing a shadow shifts on Monday and then start working by myself on Tuesday, I am totally excited and nervous all at the same time.

Shawn
Hes doing good. Because I have been working alot, hes been getting pretty stressed out with the kids so it’s been stressing me out as well. Thankfully after being home 2.5 days he went to work today.

Maxim
Potty training has started today. So far, it’s been horrible, 3 accidents and a poop in the underwear. He understands that he needs to go on the potty and doesn’t freak out when he is put on the toilet, he just doesn’t tell me until he has already peed himself. I’m not getting frustrated or anything, I’m just getting tired of telling him over and over and over. His speech isn’t really improving, hes saying a few more words, and is attempting to talk but it’s all jibberish, and we don’t understand anything at all. He says mine, mom, dad, no, i dont want, uh oh, ball, blankie, balloon, high, bye – thats about it really

Cooper
I just got another grey hair just typing his name. He is busy, and by busy I mean busy. Shawn and I believe he is a spawn of the devil because he is bad, really bad. Hes at the age of climbing everything (minus his crib-thank god), and anything. He learnt yesterday to pull the bottom drawer out, and climb the drawers to get onto the kitchen cupboard. He also has no fear when he get on things, so I’ve been having heart attacks almost daily. He now says mama, dada, abby (our kitty), uh oh, ma num ma num, bye.

Upcomings
I have my cousins wedding next weekend (the 1st) and then Heathers bachelorette party on the 13th, and then her wedding on the 15th, and then I move the last weekend in Sept, oh and I work every 2nd weekend…not enough minutes in the day
