I was right...

My original plan was to write something everyday...and that has not happened. Life is just SO busy. I barely have time to keep up on the laundry and dishes.

So this week is interesting since Mike is going to be in Minnesota! Ahh single mom life again! (Only for a week at a time!)

The week has been fun! It started on Sunday with a 6-2:30 shift. My LAST week training. I came home to an empty house because Mike was looking at a boat with his dad. The best part is that they were looking at a boat that his dad might want to buy and might want to store it at our house, it turned into a boat that Mike and his dad bought together! I am exciting that Mike finally has his fishing boat that he has wanted for so long! They came home just long enough for me to run outside and jump in the truck. Jack was so excited to see me, he was smiling and cheering and flapping his arms! I looked back and said "How was your day?" and he said "Good!" Mike and I just burst out laughing! Did he just say Good!?! I looked back and he was smiling and playing with his bare foot...uh my baby is growing up!

We then headed to Jen and Mike's for a BBQ. SO FUN!! We had beer brats, oysters and delicious salads. Jack ate so much that he spit up on his shirt. Then he pooped and he was just a hot mess. We are so lucky to have such great friends! Good times!

Monday was uneventful. Mike flew to Minnesota. I worked 7-3:30. I almost peed my pants on the way home. One of these days I will realize that drinking coffee all day and then sitting in traffic on the way home doesn't mix. Picked up Jack from April's and missed swimming lessons. :(

Tuesday! I was supposed to be going to corporate for a training but I found out Monday that it got rescheduled for September. I went to work at 8 after dropping Jack with my sister. It was my last day with Tereasa, who I had been training with for the last 2 months. She brought me flowers and a card, Adorable! I found out my district manager was coming in to meet with me...great..I would of done my hair! (One time we had a huge visit at the store I am training at and before they got there the district manager (a different one) asked Tereasa if she was going to brush her hair! I almost died!) I had a good meeting with him, first time we had talked since my training started. AND he told me where I was going! Monroe Drive thru! Apparently it is a VERY busy store. :) Exciting! and Scary! AND finally 1 million people a day can not ask me if I know where I am going! I ended up leaving a little early that day and picked up Jack who was with my dad at my sister's house. He had a nice black eye after falling on the hardwood floors! Not the first and definitely not the last!

Wednesday was my day off! Wohooo! First Jack and I went on a secret stalking mission to check out my new store! Mainly to find out where it is...umm Monroe is waayy the hell out there! Second...as I had heard, that store is busy!! It has one of those never ending drive thru lines behind a building! There were 4 cars before me that had not ordered and 3 more behind me! I was super impressed though how fast it moved! (YAY) One thing I have realized though now that Jack is front facing in my car (Yes I know, he is not 2 yet). I can't just stop and get a snack without him seeing, and he yells!! I had to wait until he fell asleep to eat my breakfast...After a quick trip to Best Buy to drop off a baby gift, we went home for lunch. We then met up with my sister and girls at Kids-n-us in Smokey Point to tour their childcare center. I have been toying with the idea of putting Jack into daycare for a few days a week for 1. Socialization 2. My sanity of not having to find childcare every week and 3. For my family and friends that have been watching him each week. I liked the daycare and am still trying to discuss it with the husband. Then Jack had his last swimming lesson of the session. It is super fun! His little friend Isaac is in his class which means I get to chat it up with his mom, Wendy! :)

Thursday: WORK! My first full day at the Drive thru store, Cedar Plaza. I actually thought drive thru was super fun. You get to see and talk to so many different people. It makes your day go by so fast and its entertaining! After work I picked Jack up from April and we (and her mom) all went out for mexican food. Sooo good and I was starving, so I inhaled it. By the time I got home I had a full blown cold. WTF!? Awesome. Mike got home around 9:30pm and woke Jack and I up. YAY! He is HOME!!! But then I took some nyquil and went back to bed. :)

Friday: DAY OFF!! Met up with Jen at Starbucks and then we walked around Target for awhile with Jack. All I bought was a toy guitar for Jack, which is unusual for me. Then I spent the rest of the day, home sick, playing with Jack.

Saturday: My last day at the Hwy 99 and 200th Starbucks! I brought treats for them as a THANK YOU for letting me come train at their store (not that most of them had a choice!) But for being so nice and welcoming for my first Starbucks experience. Worked 6-2:30, sat in the back all day doing a food manager online certification. Boring!! That store was awesome and I am going to miss everyone there, but I am excited for what's next!! That evening we took a family trip to Cabelas to look at stuff for the new boat and picked up some propane so we could grill steaks! Yummm.

The end! :)
