On the work front, I usually work a 20 hour work week, which is 4 hours a day. Back on November 6th, my kooky co-worker decided that instead of taking some paid time off for her vacation to Disneyland and to some concerts and while she's Christmas shopping she would take off on the State's Disability Plan. She went for that wonderful "Stress Leave". Who should be stressed you ask? That would be ME! Now, I've spend the last month (and will continue) to work as many hours as I can stand to be away from Austin until she either comes back (I can't believe she will, how embarrassed would a NORMAL person be to be off as long as that and come back) or quits (if she does, lots of prayers will be answered in my office. Anyways, work has been so FUN! We've been laughing so much in the office, and I have really enjoyed being there. It has also helped pass the time while waiting for Ryleigh.
Here's a little video for your viewing pleasure. Austin has really gotten into cooking and my mom is wonderful letting him do so much in the kitchen!! Enjoy!
( Mary-Mia - Did you notice how my boy put some chocolate chips aside down ont he cutting board for later??? They learn early!)

TOO cute!
Been looking out for you at the mall! Started shopping on Thursday (finally)..feeling a bit stressed about it all! Trying to enjoy...easy to say hard to do! Talk to you soon! Kim
Oh my god, that is too funny. He has that chocolate chip routine down perfectly, didn't even hesitate. Love it!
I'm so glad you're up next. When you get your referral I'm going to cheer so loud you'll hear me all the way from there. Can't wait!!!

Austin is too cute for words and grandma is awesome with him. As far as the chips go...I would not have handled it any differently.
I look forward to seeing your daughter in January. You must be getting very excited. I am hopefully up next with a 5/17 LID and no log ins the first week of May.
Here is to the CCAA going back to full months!

Really, doesn't everybody learn at a young age to scoop up a few chips for themselves? Actually, he was much more polite about it..mine would have gone straight into the piehole.
As far as your coworker on disability for silly stress leave..as a former HR Manager, that stuff drives me bonkers...she'll shoot herself in the foot eventually, and in the meantime, you know you are doing the right thing. Hang in there!
I'm sending you all the good wishes and prayers I can muster up for your referral and once that's here we'll re-allocate the ones that are left for work related issues. :)
I love the video! He is such a cutie pie and I'm digging his chip style.

Can we take a disability leave for stress? Have I missed the boat on this one??? LOL

Now we're chipping!! My holiday motto!! He is too cute--and what a bonus...a boy who knows his way around the Kitchen- Aid! His future wife will honor you!
