Such plans...

Ugh, I had so many plans for today but it seems that I have caught pampered daughter's illness. I feel like garbage! I am having friends over tomorrow to bake together and my house is a mess. I am also not in the mood for visitors. Oh well, maybe I'll feel better after a good night's sleep.

Okay, I promise this time...

Man oh man, I truly love reading blogs. I race home everyday just to see what is new on my reader. But I never update my own blog. Seems so silly. I have so much to share. I really should just start doing it. That's it, I'm going to start blogging again. At least I'm going to try my hardest! We shall see, stick around to see if I can keep my promise this time.

Welcome Back

Well, the whole reason I initially began this blog was to promote my Pampered Chef business, and it seems that I haven't mentioned that at all recently! Unfortunately, I was not able to keep up that business while we were in our other city. It was difficult enough just to roll out of bed and go to work while pregnant, I can't even imagine what it would have been like if I was also selling Pampered Chef. After my insane morning sickness, which actually lasted all day long, wore off, I did get back to cooking, but not back to Pampered Chef.

That was until the other day, that is. I have officially signed back up to sell Pampered Chef. I am excited to get back to it, but I am also a little reluctant. You see, now that I am back to working full time, I already spend so much time away from Pampered Daughter that it kills me. The last thing I want to do when I get home is leave her again. However, I know this is a good thing for me. I can earn some extra money, super cool free products, and make new friends who share in my passion. I am cautiously optimistic about getting back into PC.

Slow down already!

My adorable little niece started school yesterday for the very first time. Gosh, how in the world did this happen? It seems like it was just yesterday that she was a tiny six week old baby who flew to Pampered City to go to the happiest place on Earth with me and her Pampered Uncle. We had so much fun playing with her and getting to know her on that trip. It was love at first sight. Now that tiny little baby is in school. How?

My sister in law posted pics of Pampered Niece going to school today, and I started to get a little teary eyed myself. Obviously I was not upset about her going to school, heck I live across the country from her and wouldn't have known about it without Facebook, but I think I realized that one day that little girl going to school for the first time will be Pampered Daughter, and I am no where near ready for that. I happened to glance at my calendar today, just to see what was coming up this month, and I saw her 4 month check up appointment. How did that happen? This is all going too fast for me, time just needs to slow down already!!!

Absolute Perfection

Wow! Pampered Husband, Pampered Daughter, and myself went out for dinner last night. We went to Ol' Boys, a so-so bar-b-que place, in Super Cute little suburb of Pampered City. It was such a beautiful night that we were able to eat outside along Lake Super Cute! That never happens in our neck of the woods during the summertime, it is usually way too hot. After dinner we went next door for frozen yogurt. It was such a perfect evening out with my little family (except that I did not stick to my diet). It just reminded me how lucky I am to have such a wonderful husband and an amazing daughter. It's little moments like this that make my heart smile, and what truly make my life "pampered". What makes your heart smile?

Another dream job???

Let me just start out this post by saying that the job I had last year truly turned out to be a dream. I had the privilege of working with some amazing people. I also believe that I have made some friends for life.

Now, on to a new dream job. So, for this gig, I have stepped outside of the proverbial box. I am in my same field, but in a much different situation. I have gone from servicing the creme de la creme to working with the opposite end of the spectrum. In the end, this will give me valuable experience and possibly help me build an area that I was lacking. I have also moved into the private sector, working for a company that provides everything- all I do is implement. Do I think I will like this? Probably not long term, however, right now, with Pampered Daughter, I think this is for the best. Hopefully this will be another dream job.

I'll keep you posted!

Wow, time does truly fly!

Oh my goodness, has it really been more than a year since I have been here? I find that so hard to believe because it feels like just yesterday! Please excuse my lack of posts, Pampered Husband and myself have had quite the year. Let me explain:
September 2009: Found out we were expecting a pampered baby!
October 2009: My mother moved in with us.
November 2009: Spent Thanksgiving in our original Pampered City.
December 2009: My mother-in-law flew up to spend Christmas with us, and it did not go well.
January 2010: We had to put my mother-in-law in a nursing home.
February 2010: A Pampered Pet was diagnosed with cancer.
March 2010: My birthday month!
April 2010: Pampered Husband and I celebrated our first anniversary.
May 2010: Pampered Daughter was born.
June 2010: I caught my breath for a moment.
July 2010: We moved back to Pampered City.
August 2010: I started yet another "dream job".

Each one of these events requires many many posts to explain. I will try my best to give you the cliff notes version to catch you up in the next few posts. I am also going to try my best to keep up with this blog now...
