The Dog's Dish

Ella has always loved all things about how the dog eats. She often leaves her toys in the dog's dish- I guess as a sort of present for Midas. Yesterday I found the letter "G" in the dish.
We discovered today that Ella can totally take the water jug off the top of Midas' water dish and carry it around. She, of course, is super excited about this.The best part of it is that the more you walk around with it upside down- the lighter it gets!
She had a lot of fun with that today- I probably had less fun.
Ella also started Day care since our last post. She is ok with it- and I guess I'm getting to be ok with it. It really is the most horrible thing ever though- you pay through the nose to let strangers watch your baby while you go out and try to make enough money to pay the strangers. Meanwhile, your child is crying and covered in snot at the door as you drive away. So- maybe I'm not ok with it- I don't know- it is what it is for now.
Coinciding with daycare was me going back to work at NCCC. Its still great having that job- I'm not sure why, but it seems I am always a bit nervous when I first start talking to my classes. Maybe because so many of my students are older then me.

I am also working for Jake at night, making phone calls and stuff for his new company. During the day I work at the chapel watching kids and I also got a job tutoring for the bio dept at NCCC. We are pretty much working constantly. I am looking for one job to replace all 4 of my jobs (the nerd in me wants to make a lord of the rings reference there)- I'm going on a bunch of chiro interviews these days. So far I have found out that the pay is worse then minimum wage.
I'm working hard and hoping that things will all fall into place by the time baby number 2 is born. Super nervous about what I'm going to do with baby number 2 once it is born- or what is going to happen at my jobs- but at the moment we are just taking everything one day at a time.
So pray that I find a job- a chiropractor one or a full time teaching one (I'm interviewing for that too) and for childcare to come together.
