Certificates and Big Balls

So, the day after I got 'spoken to' about my job, I got a Certificate of Achievement from my 'employer'.  Needless to say, I took that puppy and put it in open view of everyone to see (mainly my husband).  It felt good to have some extra motivation behind me and know that I am doing something well.  I think it worked, because I haven't gotten the push back today. 

My schedule is very busy this week, but I've also determined that I need to set a clear schedule of when I work.  This way, it won't seem like I'm so 'absent'.  I've narrowed it down to three days a week with an hour or two on other weekdays when the babies are asleep.  Never thought this before, but I may be a workaholic.  This is only the case when I work at home, of course.  It's strange though, on my days off, to have no work to get done.  It seems like I'm on vacation, but I have a burning desire to keep busy.  The kids get extra lovin' and the house gets extra clean.  I might be onto something.  

If there is anything that I can recommend to keep your sanity as a parent, it's to get some alone time with other women.  I play on a women's softball team.  Some nights, I don't really feel like going, but it seems like on those days I really end up appreciating it the most.  I am only able to do this because I have an amazing support team.  My husband, my parents, my in-laws, and my friends have been my saviors.  Life would be unbearable without them all.  I also get some much needed exercise running around. 

We also found a highly recommended babysitter.  Wahoooo!!  We haven't had a regular sitter, ever.  I was quoted $12 an hour just to watch the twins.  Ouch.  The price we pay for freedom.  I ended up talking her down to $10, but for 3 hours of dinner and a movie, we'll end up paying $30 bucks more.  Wow.  Freedom is expensive.  Good thing we don't have any more kids or a date night would cost as much as a root canal. 

Ok.  Topic for the night: What reality or game show would you like to be a part of and why?  I'll start.

I would like to be a part of Survivor.  It seems like people learn a lot about themselves, or should unless they are completely self-absorbed.  And I would like to kick Jeff Probst in the junk, because he's really lame.  He always does the same lame ass things over and over.  Half the fun of watching is making fun of him.  Also, it would be a great way to lose a few pounds.

I would also like to be on WipeOut!  Looks like it would be a blast and I can only hope I'd do well.  Who knows.  I might look good covered in mud.... nah.

Ladies, what do you think??

Good Night and Big Balls!
