The snow shouldn't even be falling yet according to the weather experts! Maybe we'll actually get a lot. We never do when they say we will, my fingers are crossed!

mothers day

I know it's not even close to Mothers Day but something got me thinking about it.  So, in our department mostly because of the union I think they encourage us to submit our vacation requests for the year during "open bidding" at the beginning of the year.  Management then goes through them and either grants or denies them based on whether someone on the same shift wants the same time off and who has seniority.  I was talking to one of my coworkers about how she got denied for her request for Mothers Day, she was so bummed.  She has three kids and wanted to spend the day with her family (we know we are scheduled to work it.)  She asked if I had asked for it off and I said no I hadn't even thought about it.  It's true I didn't think about it, but then I asked myself, why had you not thought about it?  I came to one conclusion: every day is Mothers Day here.  I have the best (most days) little girl in the world and a husband who is so understanding, thoughtful, amazing and helpful in my life around me every day.  I don't need to take one day a year to celebrate that.  They love me every day as if it's Mothers Day and I love them so much for that.  Although, I wouldn't mind an extra Sunday off though!

hmmm...

I don't have much to say this week but I do need to mention my friend Kim's blog giveaway.  How cool is that, she has such a great blog people are giving her stuff to giveaway!!!  She is a navy wife and mom (and my friend Cerisa's littlest sister.)  She has a great blog and she also has a book club that she does.  I just love reading about what's going on in Connecticut with her and her little family and the things she goes through, like when her husband was deployed...I cannot imagine.  So if you get a chance to check our her blog!




Look who's getting into trouble...

She's figuring out how to move stuff around so she can stand on something and grab stuff she's isn't suppose to...oy!
