Ugh I Hate Being Sick!

I got sick Friday with a runny nose & now it's just my throat that is weird. It's a dry kind of feeling that makes me cough. Almost losing my voice! I went to Walgreen's this morning cause I needed cough drops BAD! I bought root beer ones! They are pretty good & they work well.

So on the kid's side Ben has been wetting the bed again. Not sure why. It's been 3 days in a row now. I don't know what to do with him. This is the 1st day we have taken away something he wanted to do & that's play the new Calliou game we got him.
Chris tells me Amelia keeps telling her dolls to go to time out & puts them against the wall. I don't tell her to go time out....I just take her there & she knows to stay haha. I don't say anything to her. What I have noticed with her is that when she freaks out & screams all I have to do is walk her to the wall and leave her there for 2 min and she leaves time out on her own, but she has calmed down. She is a new happy kid ;o). We went to a party one night & I did this method with her & everyone was shocked at how it worked haha!

Chris had the couch flipped over today when I got home & he has been trying to fix the hardware. It has been 3 hours & he is still working on it. Ben keeps trying to climb on the back & I have told him over & Over & OVER again to stop climbing on it. I finally took him to his room & put him in time out on his bed. Earlier he told Chris that I didn't love him. He said, "Mommy doesn't love me..." Makes me sad he thinks that. I have a hard time not yelling at him. Maybe that's why I am losing my voice? haha Noooooo I do love my kids. They are so special to me! Maybe I am stressed out.

I started my new job and I don't quite feel like I have a handle on it yet. I need to get better at focusing on calling and not so much the paperwork part. I was telling Kat (co-worker in same dept) that I think once I get everything caught up from what Tara left me that I will feel like it's my own & I will know what I am doing & not worry about what someone else has done...This week I have gotten quite a bit of over time. I don't really take lunches, I take my two 15 min breaks at the same time & eat my lunch. I don't like long lunches. So Mon-today I have gotten 2 hours each of over time. Well today Vicky (my manager) had mentioned to watch my hours and I told her I was going to ask about that. I asked her if we work over on the other days if we would be able to get off early on Fridays. She said no. She said that she wants us to stay at least until 3 or 4 every day. So I let her know this week I wasn't very good at staying within my hours and that I would watch it from now on. She said that was fine, but to not make it a habit or too often. She said she understood for appointments and things etc. In sales I was able to make my own hours & do what I wanted pretty much. I understand with accounting they want people to be there & get work done. Vicky said it's like the front desk (which sucks because I have to answer to everyone in the dept & see if it's ok to have time off.) Oh well I really like this job & I am looking forward to the time when I am good at it all!!! ;o)
