Footprints on the Moon

Oh my gosh!! I can’t believe I forgot to come back and blog about this… when I posted about my weekend “away” I just kind of skipped over hanging out at my mom’s on Friday night because she was watching Killian. I did that with the intention of putting it in a post of it’s own, and I never did!!
My mom got to babysit Killian for the first time on Friday night, and she let Erica and I infringe on her. Okay, we weren’t infringing… there were two babies instead of one, so my mom was in seventh heaven. But I got to change one of Killian’s diapers, and boy did he have a doozy of one ready for his Aunt Jennifer the first time she changed him!! I also got to give him his second bottle, ever. (And his third, actually.) He took it really well, and then burped easily for me. He was such a good baby that night… I enjoyed snuggling with him in the rocker. Aiden is at the age that he only wants to be snuggled when he’s almost asleep, and mommy gets that priviledge.

I got a couple of pictures of him too.

He was looking at Aiden in that second picture… I can’t believe how much he is starting to look like my brother!!

That’s what I’ve wanted to tell 75% of the people that have walked through my door this morning. When I got to work about 6:40 this morning, it had been starting to snow. By the time I sorted the mail, got some water from the cafeteria and got back to my desk at 7, it was really coming down. It didn’t let up for 4-5 hours. Weather like that tends to put people around here into bad moods, so they started yelling at me straight out of the gate. People who think that security should personally be out shoveling the walks, despite the fact that our landscaping company was already enroute. Someone who screamed at me over the telephone because they wanted me to take a message that they didn’t have time to leave on a voicemail.

Note to people in general: If you’re asking someone to do something for you, be nice. Yelling will get you nowhere. Yelling gets your message run through the shredder.

Then lunch time rolls around, and they decide they have like 7 people they need badges for… which means my relief has to go back out to the guardhouse so the other guard can come in and make badges. By the time that was over it was about 40 minutes later… by then, it’s pointless to go down to the cafe for lunch– the food that’s left will be mostly icky, and the people I sit with will be almost ready to go back to work! (Did I mention I had to pee for about an hour BEFORE the badge making?) So I trudged out in the nasty, cold, rain/snow and picked up Burger King for Erica and I and spent my lunch break at home. On the positive side, since my lunch was later, I have less of the work day left after that point. I go home in a half an hour! Woohoo!

I was trying to do the Boring Day Carnival today, but I didn’t get early morning pictures, and I haven’t been able to take but one or two pictures all day because I can’t technically have a camera in the building, and I definitely can’t post pictures of anything identifying. But that will be for any day. I went home for lunch, but left the camera here. Oops. Maybe I’ll take pictures from here on out and then supplement with a different Boring Morning… all my mornings look the same anyways LOL
