Really

It's been a while!  I know.  I really suck.  I also don't have a whole lot of time, so I will keep this short(ish).  Once again, I have been reading, but not commenting.  Just know that I am thinking about all of you.  Here is some stuff in bullets:

• I got a job.  Finally, after three grueling months and about 5 months of just slightly trying to find work, I am an accountant for a general contractor.  I am in my second week and I really love it
• It's a woman owned company and I really, really love that.  She lets you bring your babies to work with you for the first 6 months to a year (not that I am having anymore) and I really like that she is so considerate when it comes to matters of the kiddos.   
• The girls... Well, just Mickie really, is having a REALLY hard time with this transition.  We are working through it, but there have been some tears. 
• Maddie, I believe, got nurse maids elbow for the THIRD TIME THIS YEAR yesterday.  However, since it wasn't my first rodeo, I did the little maneuver thingy and she was all better.  In fact, she told me, "All better."  When Jeff asked her what was wrong, she said, "all better.  all gone." Too precious.
• We have (kinda) started potty training!  I am not pushing it, but I have introduced the toitee and when they want to go, we make a big deal of it.  Maddie has actually 'gone in the pot' twice! 
• I have used the word really a lot in this post thus far.
• The girls have conversations with each other that I can finally understand and it's is so sweet to listen to.  Not to mention all of our conversations. 
• At their 2 year appointment, both were the exact same weight and height at 26 pounds and 34" tall.  It was SO cute to watch them get on the 'big girl' scale!  (It is the 41st and 50th percentile, respectively.   If I recall correctly.)
• They are really staring to use their imagination and it is amazing to watch!  The pretend play all the time!

Well, that's all I can think of.  I can't believe it's November already.  Really.  :)

ranked number seven. not good enough for an interview.

Still no word on that job.  In the mean time, I have applied for a hand full of others.  I have called them twice and they keep telling me, "you will get an e-mail."  So I check my e-mail about a hundred times an hour and nothing. 

I got the girls' birthday decorations, cake mix (I am making a castle cake!), and dresses.  All that's left is balloons, but I have to go to another store to get those ordered.  Maybe tomorrow. 

A new symphony season starts this week, our first concert is on Saturday.  I am excited.  Other than that, all is pretty quiet around here.

Except that the girls counted to five last night.  I know, they are clearly geniuses!  :)  I keep asking them how old they are and showing them how to put two fingers up.  They are getting it slowly.  And we are practicing saying "trick or treat" so that when Halloween comes, they will be ready!  They are going to be cheer leaders for Halloween.  I picked up their pom-poms today too.  They already have their outfits. 

St Elsewhere, I cannot comment on your blog from my computer.  I have tried to fix the problem, and I feel like a tool because I am having so much trouble!!  Know that I am thinking of you and that I WANT to comment!

Life with the Gemelos, Thank you for thinking of me!!  I have not heard yet... It was pretty stiff competition and I am hoping to hear something today.  I have checked my e-mail a hundred times already! 

There were two tests and 26 people.  Yeah.  26 people going for one position.  That shows what our economy is like, eh?  The first test was a "communications" test and I think I did about as well as anyone.  The second test was math.  I love math and I am good at math.  So I am hoping that I did well enough to be one of the top three people, because that's who will get an interview. 

So, as soon as I hear something, I will post. 

Becoming Supermommy, it's nice to 'meet' you too!  Can't wait to visit your blog.
