getting settled

Well we are officially done moving, Yay!  Now for the unpacking.  We have unpacked all the essential stuff but Mom's house is so small it is taking quite a bit of work to make everything fit.  You have to be pretty inventive to find a place to put everything and make it look good.  I really hope to be done by this weekend.  I hate looking at boxes and having everything out of place.  It really stresses me out.  After we get all that done it is back to painting and fixing up the rest of the house.  We still have the living room, hall, bathroom, kitchen and dining room.  Sigh.  We still don't have internet so I am posting this from work.  And still I won't be able to upload any pictures any time soon.  A blog is pretty boring with no pictures but it will have to do.

Good news is that I found a job that is like 15min away from the house.  I am a nanny for twin, newborn girls and I get to bring Abby with me.  This is my first week and so far so good.  We have had a couple of times where all babies were crying but we made it through.  The tough part about this job is that I have to be here at 6:30am.  It is really hard to drag my self out of bed at 5:30am,  but at least it is close and there is no such thing as traffic.  Also Bob just landed an interview with TCC.  This looks to be very promising since he worked for TCC for 7 years prior to going to work for Boardroom.  He knows a lot of contacts there that can put in a good word for him.  Down side is now we live in Dallas practically but the commute shouldn't be too bad since he will be going against traffic.  It defiantly won't be near as bad as driving from Keller to Plano.

Abigail is now a walking fool.  She loves to chase you and be chased.  She would spend her whole day outside if I let her.  She is the best eater.  Haven't found anything she doesn't like besides peas.  She is also so happy to have her crib back.  She just doesn't sleep that well in the pack n' play.  She will give you kisses if you ask for them and sometime she slips you the tongue right as you go in to kiss her.  Then she laughs like she has played the funniest joke ever.  She is becoming a Mama's girl, big time.  She only wants me most of the time but Bob does a great job of distracting her when needed.  I really can't believe that she will be 10 months old in just a couple of days.  Where has the time gone?
