Well lets see. I had my birthday on saturday, Al, Sarah, Ross & Sarah, and Brad & Lisa came over to celebrate with me. I got so very very very drunk! I woke up the next morning telling myself that I would never do that again! Well Clinton is a month away, so I may change my mind.

I am no longer working for Census, as they were expecting something from me which I couldn't give them. They wanted me to work 40 hrs a week (I had finished with the phone calling, all that was left were the field visits). How am I suppose to work 40 hrs a week with no car in the day, and a two year old boy. The extra money would have been nice, but it wasn't a must. I'm much happier that I can spend time with my husband, and tuck my son into bed everynight, and take him on a couple camping trips over the next month, which I wasn't able to do if I continued to work. The money would have been nice, but I've learned ever since becoming a stay at home mom, that it isn't everything. Spending time with my son and husband is much more important.
Not many people can say that they work at their dream job, but I can, and it is frustrating, and very demanding, but also extremly rewarding.

Work

Well I just finished my first training day with Stats Canada. It's going to be a pretty simple job. Good news for me. It was great, the training was about a 5 min drive from my sister's house (who happened to be looking after Cameron today) - we got an hour lunch so it was nice to go see my boy half way through the day. Truth be told, it was nice spending a day with adults! Another training day tomorrow and then I start.

Kris's uncle died the other day. It's sad, I only met him a few times, but he seemed like a nice man. So we will be up in Kamloops this weekend.

Cameron got his "big boy" bed yesterday. He looks so small in it! It felt weired to see the crib packed away, hopefuly we will take it out soon again. In other words I'm definatly ready to have another baby. So we'll see if that happens over the next few months. It will be neat for my sister and I to have babies around the same time, this time (as Cameron and Reegan are 2 years apart). She plans on being pregnant by December (if not earlier!) as she doesn't want to stay at work for more than a year (she goes back to work in August)

Well enough about that. More on a later date.

Again

Well I went to yoga again on tuesday night. Woke up wednesday morning and my body was so sore! I'm not sure if I'm going to stick with it (it's very expensive - $17 a session). So it's a little bit out of my price range.

Good News - Statistics Canada phoned me and told me I have the job!!! I assumed they would have called me weeks ago if I had it, but that's the government for you. So I do two training days next week and then I start right after that. It's pretty much just phoning people and going to their home (if they don't have a phone or don't answer it) and reminding them that they haven't filled out their census form yet.

Well, nothing else new.
