LONG post ahead! :)

Sunday was pretty much a "no Barry" day. It was his turn to sleep in and by the time he got up, ate and got ready to go to his parents, we had about a half an hour together before he left. He's still not home. He went to order some eyeglasses at Costco (hence the reason he was with his parents - they have the membership) because he got a new job that will start in a few weeks and there's no benefits for 3 months with it (yikes!) so he figured he'd get his glasses now while he can rather than waiting 3 months. He should have gotten them more than 6 months ago, but we're both procrastinators....Since his parents drove him, he had to go where they wanted to go after that. They wanted to go look at an airplane that a friend of theirs is building, then go to supper at Curly's in Stewiake. Not fair for me! He gets to be away from the cranky teether and the mischievous drama queen for the whole day and he gets to eat out! I think he owes me something there!

So yeah, he got a new job. Not that he needed a new job or it was really terrible at his current job, but he felt that there was no room for growth and this opportunity came up, so he took it. He's a Network Cabling Technician (runs all the data cables companies need to run their computer and other  Communications technology) and it's pretty hard on him. He works long hours to get jobs done so companies can open on time if they are new or don't have too much downtime if they are already up and running. Hopefully at this new place I will know when he's coming home each day. Right now I have no clue. Could be 4:30, could be 8:30 or later.

So yesterday he gave his boss his letter of resignation. He was afraid that they'd be mad at him because there really are only 2 head guys at his office and he's one of them, which might leave them short. Okay, it WILL leave them short...he works harder than any other guy in that place. I think he's going to be nice and give Neil 3 weeks notice instead of 2 to give him time to find someone else.

I have a Wiggles song stuck in my head and it won't leave! Actually, there's 2 of them, Taba Naba and 6 Months in a Leaky Boat...both from their Wiggly Wiggly World DVD. I actually really like their version of
the Split Enz song, but having it run in your head all day long is a bit much. Doesn't help that Kaylee is teething and cranky (confirmed yesterday that she has two new teeth poking through on the front bottom) and listening to the Wiggles soothes her a bit so we watch them all day long. Ugh. LOL

I just finished a sampler kit for The DigiShoppe (we do a sampler pack each month) and I named mine Aileen after Grammie. See the little word art in it? It's from the saying she always says... "Spring has sprung, the grass has riz, I wonder where the birdies is? The bird is on the wing they say, but that's absurd! The wing is on the bird!" :) I can remember her saying that from when I was a kid!
