workin girl.. sorta

i started working at the espresso bar at church this past sunday. i was a bit nervous. i think mostly because i havent had a job in so long now and havent made espresso in an even longer while, but it was fun and i remembered everything i knew before. it is sort of like a job, but without all the stress and performance reviews. people dont expect perfection there and they dont have a lot of coffee drinkers in the morning, which is kind of odd. but then again, i dont like coffee in the morning either. i usually have it around 11 am when i hit a wall. i always have energy once i peel my eye lids apart, but it only lasts for a couple hours. anyways, i wasnt sure how the kids would do being at church earlier and longer also afterwards. valen ended up falling asleep right away in the car on the way home and so we decided to drive around and get some fast food. justin took us up a windy hill and dahlia puked all over the car.... was not expecting that..... so we headed home. she seemed totally fine once she puked a few times and then she just wanted to hold my hand all the way home. so adorable!! so valens nap was 20 minutes and that made for a very cranky baby all day long on his birthday! dahlia wasnt actually sick, but maybe just car sick. anyhow, i am looking forward to being a barista again, we will just have to figure out how to keep dahlia and valen happy all day long.

Justin, did you pick up some of dad's techniques for making people barf in the car? Poor Dahlia, I know how you feel! If you ever want to borrow my tape of riding/barfing in the car, feel free!

Sounds like fun! (not the puking)

So sorry! I know it is a strain to sometimes to introduce new things into our lives again once there are kids involved, but really, good for you. You deserve to have some you time...things you enjoy to look forward to in your week, and before you know it, the kids will adjust. Lots of love,
