Eighteen Days!

I'm currently enjoying my first weekend off after working 18 days in a row. I am tired. Tired doesn't even cut it, I'm exhausted and need to remind myself to slow down and just relax instead of running around all weekend trying to clean the house, run errands and attempting to catch up on things. 


Ich geniesse momentan mein erstes freies Wochenende, nachdem ich 18 Tage hintereinander durchgearbeitet habe. Ich bin muede. Muede ist noch nicht einmal der richtige Ausdruck, ich bin erschoepft und muss mich selbst daran erinnern, es langsam angehen zu lassen und einfach nur zu entspannen, anstatt das ganze Wochenende herum zu rennen und das Haus zu putzen, Besorgungen zu machen und versuchen, Versaeumtes nachzuholen.


Last weekend was our biggest Show of the year and the preparations for it seemed endless, but in the end so worth it, because we had an awesome Show, with almost 48,000 attendees and a lot of happy exhibitors.
The line to get into the Show...


Letztes Wochenende hatten wir die groesste Show des Jahres und die Vorbereitungen dafuer fuehlten sich an, als wuerden sie kein Ende nehmen, aber am Ende war es das wert, denn wir hatten eine super Show mit fast 48,000 Besuchern und vielen gluecklichen Ausstellern. 
Die Schlange um in die Show zu kommen...
It makes me smile Every.Single.Time and feeling proud of what I do when I drive down the freeway or street and see the billboards, bus shelters and other ads that I created...


Ich muss jedesmal laecheln und bin stolz auf meine Arbeit, wenn ich ueber die Autobahn oder die Strasse fahre und unsere Reklametafeln und anderen Werbungen, die ich gestaltet habe, sehe...
But if you think I'm getting a break after working a few 80-hour weeks, think again, because the next Show is only six weeks away!
It might be stressful at times, but I love going to work every day, love the responsibilities and the variety of my job and that is probably more than most people can say. Feeling grateful. Grateful and TIRED!:) 
And now I can hear my bed calling my name... Good Night everyone!


Aber falls ihr denkt, dass ich nun eine Pause bekomme, nachdem ich ein paar 80-Stunden-Wochen hinter mich gebracht habe, dann habt ihr euch getaeuscht, denn die naechste Show ist bereits in sechs Wochen!
Es mag zwar ab und an stressig sein, aber ich gehe jeden Tag gerne zur Arbeit, mag die Verantwortung und Abwechslung, die mein Job mich sich bringt und das ist vermutlich mehr, als manch andere sagen koennen. Ich fuehle mich sehr dankbar. Dankbar und MUEDE!:)
Und nun ruft mein Bett nach mir... Gute Nacht!

August iPhone dump

A few of my favorite moments from August! Meet the teacher for the boys! I received this picture from Katie's wife, such a sweet bond they have. I'm also loving how his pajamas are inside out...haha. Walter came back to spend a few days with us! We watched him last summer, and the boys kept talking about him, so we were all so excited when his mom asked us to watch him for a few days. Notice Finn pouting. He was upset that Walter "only pays attention to Fox". So many big emotions in such a tiny body. Mr. Cool Guy at his dentist check up and teeth cleaning! I was trying to get some work done in my office, but this guy needed some attention. Finn made a bed for them, so they could sleep together. In the end, no one wanted to sleep there, but he was so happy to cuddle with Walter for a bit. My friend got me some comedy tickets to see "Nurse John", so I invited my two besties, and two of my old classmates, and we had a blast, he was so funny. We even got VIP acc...

First day of school

This year I have a first and a fifth grader! Aww, he was so tiny in the first picture in Pre-K! Last year of elementary school for this big kid, and Mama is not ready for middle school next year. The boys had a great start to their school year, still taking the bus every day, and while no one is a fan of going to school around here, they seem to like their teachers and classes so far. I'm glad to be getting back to more of a routine for them (and me), because let me just tell you...summer was rough! Haha. 

January iPhone dump

A quick look at our January! Nursing Level 2 unlocked...after getting a heated vest, I now also have my personal space heater at work. No one warned me how cold hospitals are...haha! We watched our friend's dog for a few days and Mr. Finn was in heaven. He wouldn't let go of poor Nugget and always wanted him to be right with him. His eyes say "Save me!!!" Cherishing the times that he will cuddle with me. I know I don't have much time left, and that makes me really sad. Self-care...reading a book in our hammock while the kids were playing nicely together. Another downfall of them growing up, is that we now have to order adult meals at the restaurant. I might have to get another job in order to afford these two...haha.  Katie sent me this picture of Finn sleeping with their dog one night.  Sweet things my co-worker leaves for me when I was sick at work...she made me a to-go tissue packet because the box I kept carrying around kept falling out of my fanny pack that I...
