I have officially quit my job. It's been just a couple weeks now and I'm both happy and sad about it. I think I will always miss the salon atmosphere and the friends I worked with and the clients, but I am so glad to be free! I've made weekly goals for myself so I don't just sit around bored. I am a home-body and lazy kind of person so I need to give myself a nudge once in a while to actually get things done. My goals include exercising more, really deep cleaning the house, finding and trying out new recipes, and visiting with a friend at least once a week. Once it cools down, I'll take the kid out for walks and stuff too. He loves cruising in his stroller.
This last weekend I had the opportunity to visit my brother in California. He and his wife just had baby #3 and had planned to bless him on the 1st. It had been a year since we'd seen each other and probably will be
another year before we see each other again so I just had to jump at the
chance. It really sucks how little we get to see each other. But anyway, because of my new freedom, I was able to fly out there with EZ. I was really nervous about flying with a baby but thankfully, he did really well. On the way there I had an empty seat next to me which I laid him down in and he slept most of the way. The way back was harder because there was no empty seats and he was tired and could not get comfortable for a while but eventually fell asleep on my lap. My biggest concern was if he had a stinky diaper. Thankfully, he didn't either way!! Anyway, we pretty much just stayed at Brett's house hanging out. Since I was
only there for the weekend, I didn't care to go California expediting. Besides, my brother has a great house and the cutest kids! I just wanted to hang out in their day-to-day life! His 2 older boys just loved EZ. They would play peek-a-boo with him and bring him toys and baby-talk to him. EZ seemed to enjoy them, but we discovered he's in a "mama's boy" phase. He'd get distracted by his cousins then see me and start crying. He wouldn't calm down unless I held him. Little stinker! Another reason why it would be hard to go out and enjoy the touristy stuff if he won't give me a break! In fact, it took him a while to remember daddy when we got home. He just wanted me! Sweet but exhausting if it goes on much longer. So yeah the trip was great and ended too soon. My other brother and his family and our parents also made it. I have a couple pictures from which I stole off Facebook.
