Quick Blurb

I need to make this super short. Part of my overall life improvement plan is about discipline and so I promised myself I'm going to set guidelines for myself and stick to them and part of that is getting my buns to bed tonight.

First, I started a new job. I'm still at the hospital, I just added another job to the picture. It's going to be exhausting for the short term, but hopefully will get us started down the right road for getting our money picture back in order.

The other thing about the job - and here' s the exciting part - it's going to help me learn what I need to know to start my own business! I've been dying to have my own business again, only doing something this time that I can be proud of. I really enjoy it, I love tracking the marketing stuff, what works and what doesn't work (sometimes it surprises you!). I'm feeling really good about this. I'm going to save up my extra money from the other job for the next month and invest it into my business and see if I can make it work. I'd love to be able to quit the hospital by this time next year so that I don't have to work so many holidays! This year I'm working Christmas Eve 8am-4pm, and then Christmas Day 8pm-8am. I get New Year's off (big deal) and then go to work at midnight on new year's day - at least that one won't really matter and I'll get time and a half for it, but it still sucks to be working so much during the holidays. When I worked at Perfect we got the whole week off between Christmas and New Years, so I got a little spoiled.

Tommy is doing great! More sentences! We are struggling a bit on the potty training now that we're back home and he's not doing well with it at daycare at all. It's frustrating, but I'm happy that we've come as far as we have so far.

He is CRAZY about the Christmas lights in the neighborhood - he always wants to go and "ride car" and look at Christmas lights. So cute.

Well, I'm going to keep my promise to myself and sign off now.

Hope all is well with everyone. I will try to write again soon - but am going crazy with Christmas shopping and now working two jobs. Ugh!! Oh yes, and Emmett's sister and niece are here for a few days right now so I had to make this house presentable for the visit and that was no small task hahaha

Love,
Melissa
