There comes a time in everyone's life when they have to make a choice. Dunk the rest of the Oreo in the milk and get your fingers all milky, or leave a tiny bit un-milked.
Well, I came up with (ok, maybe I read it somewhere a looooong time ago, and just now trying it out) an idea. You stab the middle frosting with a fork. That way you can easily dip your cookie and not get your hands all in the milk, or loose the last part of your cookie.
Try it out. It really works!

Best Job EVER
This week I have been kind of discouraged. I'm trying to find a job teaching dance and I totally had it, except they needed me to work at 3:30 and my last class ends at 3:30. I've just been thinking I'm going to be stuck where I am forever. Don't get me wrong, I love my job and everyone I work with. And when the day comes that I actually do quit I will be a total wreck and bawling like a baby. But, really, I make next to nothing, and a set work schedule will be amazing.
I got rejected into the nursing program. Which, honestly I would have been in shock if I made it because I haven't taken the pre-recs and don't have my cna yet. I took the class when I was preggo, but haven't done the test yet. silly me. So that added to my pity party of being stuck, for a better word.
Then today I had the day off to be alone with Zo while hubby was working. We just had breakfast, and I had pandora running. When I was cleaning up I started dancing. She started laughing like crazy. So I did a little performance for her. Let me tell you, it was the best time dancing I think I've ever had. Best audience. Not worrying about anything. Just dancing. While I was shakin my stuff I realized I don't need to find a better job, I already have the best one--Mom.
So for now, I'll keep my hopes up and keep trying. But in the meantime, I'm going to go dancin with my baby.

Weekend Wind Down
Q: What's your favorite meat to throw on the grill- steak, chicken, hamburger, pork chops, or hotdogs/brats?
This is a perfect question for us. I married into a bbqing crazed family. I have learned that everything can tast so much better on the grill. I hear people say "I'm having a bbq today." And I think "Man, we have one just about every night hubby and I are together." I've learned that there are few ways to cook a steak, chicken, hamburgers, pork (he loves pork ribs, so I can't narrow this down to just pork chops.), or hotdogs/brats that is comparable to my father-in-laws grilling powers. In fact, we hardly cook pork, hamburgers, hotdogs or steak anywhere but the grill.
So I guess to answer the question, I say ALL!

take your daughter to work day...?
I give my schedule to my parents as soon as I get it so they can work around having Zoey. I was scheduled to work at 3 and my husband was to pick baby girl up when he got home around 5. Monday, my dad asked if I can go to work at 4 instead of 3 so he can make an appointment with someone 50 minutes away. Luckily, my friend was supposed to get off at 3 so she just stayed the extra hour for me.
The day starts off normal enough. Zo is teething, and has had a crazy runny nose the last day. We fight over the bugger sucker, I win. She gives me a big poopy diaper. She wins. One of those days. Hubby calls around 1:30 seeing if I can get it off today because he isn't feeling good. Its one of our busiest times of the year, so I don't want to just call in and leave them hanging. I see if anyone can trade, and there is no one. So we figure out that my parents will just watch her longer.
Around 2 my mom calls and says that my dad still hasn't gone in yet, and she'll pick up Zo if he is late since she gets off between 3:30-4. (You need to know she generally works like 10 minutes from my work). So I get ready for work, get Zo dressed, pack a few toys and leave early. I wanted to get a bite to eat before I went in. My dad calls around 3:40 saying he is just barely leaving. I figure that is probably better anyways, since he generally picks her up with just enough time for me to be chronically 2 minutes late to where ever I am going. I call my mom and she is off. Perfect, I think. She will be there when I am to make the trade. Nope, she happened to work in the other site 40 minutes away. So here I am 10 minutes until I have to be at work with a snotty baby, waiting in line at Burger King next door. By this time, I'm figuring life did not want me to work for some reason.
So what do I do? Just haul her with me. I've done it before, but generally someone is just getting off and watches her for the few minutes it takes someone to get her. Today, there is no one to watch her since I'm coming in at such a strange time. So I just put her in a shopping cart, and go to work. Naturally, the district managers were there for a visit. So I kind of just chill in the back, hopping they don't walk by. I had to do freight and put new items on the shelf, so I just chucked all the stuff in the cart, pushing it along to all the places, and gave Zo the empty boxes. I had enough boxes ready so if the big bosses came by I could try to hide her. I'm glad I didn't have to though. It did get kinda awkward when customers came over asking for help, and I'd have to explain why I was pushing a baby everywhere I go.
My mom eventually came and got her, and the work day went on as normal. The only thing was, they double booked my department so there was an extra person there. I so could have called in, and it would have been just fine. Ah well, that is life.

Tuesday's Teeth
Today I noticed Zdawg had something in her mouth. It turned out it was 2 teeth she didn't have earlier today. The funny thing is, its her top right and the one next to it. She is still missing her top left tooth and they say they get them in pairs. I'm hoping that this doesn't mean her teeth are off center...
