No Dirt! No Dirt!

No more muddy boots in my entryway!
No more gross dirty clothes.
No more dirt in my washing machine.
No more rocks in my dryer.
No more dust and dirt in our cars.
I am one happy girl and I have one happy husband.
Tyler got a new job!
2 more weeks and we're saying goodbye to all the dirt.
I won't miss it one bit!
 Most of all, I won't miss all the aches, pains, and injuries he comes home with.

On another note, while we're talking about dirt I have a story to share: a couple months ago I was mopping up our dirty (surprise, surprise) entryway. No matter how much vacuuming and sweeping I do, I go to mop and there is still dirt all over, so when I start mopping it pretty much makes a grimy muddy mess and I can't stand the smell. So as I am finishing up, I turn to Tyler and without thinking say (well more like whine), "I hate the smell of dirt, it makes me sick, what about you?" der ter der moment for Nicole. He gave me a look that was priceless...he didn't say a word, but his face said it all. Something like--are you kidding me? Do you know what I do for a living? If the smell of dirt made me sick we'd have a serious problem. Needless to say, I wouldn't last 10 minutes doing his job. I tell him all the time, when he's tired and doesn't want to go that I would happily go for him, but the boss (my father-in-law) would have to fire me in the first 5 minutes, because I'm fairly certain I don't even know how to hold a shovel, let alone use it and well, then there is the really big problem, I would do whatever it took to avoid the whole dirt thing.

Big Brother's Birthday!

Today is Kevin's birthday... And if there is one thing I know its that I am sooo incredibly lucky to have him as a big brother. I honestly don't believe there is a soul out there who got luckier than me. We've always been close and he's never been anything but nice to me, aside from the time he broke my nose and the time he locked me in the laundry room--this wasn't too bad since I just hopped out the window. Nice try Kev! But in all seriousness we really have always gotten along and been able to count on each other whenever for whatever. He is the best!!!

 
Happy Birthday Kev!!!

Words from the Unemployed.

Believe it or not there are upsides to being unemployed. So far, this is what I've learned.

I love the sleep schedule. Its perfect for the night owl in me...go to bed anywhere between 1am and 3am and go to bed without having to set an alarm, and wake up whenever you are ready to wake up, but I don't really sleep much so I'm usually up between 8:30 and 9. You can go an entire day without getting dressed (I'm not proud of this). You get to PICK what you do with each and every day. So far, mine haven't been very exciting but still, the freedom is nice! You get to watch daytime television and actually feel like cooking dinner, and can go grocery shopping during the day--not sure why I love this so much but it makes me hate it a lot less than I do when I go at 11 at night. You get to spend lots of time at your mom's organizing for her and being your little brother's maid (I love doing this minus the Nate's maid part, professional organizer job out there anywhere???)You get to do lunch with the parents a lot, and even get to meet up with your Aunt and Grandparents some days (did this today) and you finally have time to get around to things you've been meaning to get done forever! This is the life I tell ya!  The downsides of course are that you have less money than you used to so you can't do anything too fun with the new found free time, your husband is afraid of you because your hair-do is a week old (okay that may be an exaggeration, but you get the point), looking for jobs gets really old really fast, applying for jobs is long and monotonous, you don't have a reason to get dressed in the morning, and your husband envies your awesome lifestyle.

3 weeks of the unemployed life down, hopefully not too many more to go! The longer I go without one, the harder it is going to be to have to have a schedule again!!!
