ready for fall

just been reading some of the blogs that I follow and most of them have these great fall pictures.
Ahhh, I really miss the changing of the seasons here - fall colors and spring colors are just the best. (minus the allergies of course!) At least I can see everyones wonderful pictures on the internet.

In one month I'll be back to work - I'm getting really nervous. I know what to do in my old job, but it's a new company, new people, new programs & policies. I'm sure it'll be just fine, but still very excited and nervous.
On the nervous part, trying very hard NOT to bite my nails. Gotta have nails. Will I ever stop being a nail biter?????
working on a quilt. Hope I can finish it! Still have my first quilt top, not quilted! Oh well, it'll get done some day!LOL

I can't believe it!

I got a job! I'm so excited about going back to work - and about the hotel where I will be working! I have to go in on Thursday night to sign the offer letter. This is a management job with a new hotel that's opening in the city and the hotel company has 5-star hotels all over the world.
I know I will miss my little ones, but I'm just so excited right now!

OMG!

I'm so excited - I got a call from one of the applications I put in over the weekend and I'm going for an interview tomorrow! So very excited and nervous - it's been a while since the last interview. Oh man, and a good company & job! Would really love to get that one. Will be lots of hard work, no doubt about it, but so well worth it.

Booked a Hair appointment for the morning and hoping that I can get my nails fixed too!

On the sad note, the second application I put in - for a lesser job than the first one no less - I already got rejected per e-mail! Hate these really big companies!

So would love to work in a nice sweet little boutique hotel or even B&B!

Oh well.

Yahooo! Bin zum Vorstellungsgespraech eingeladen!!! Yipeeeee! Bin aufgeregt und nervoes.

Hab mich da erst am wochenende beworben, heute einen anruf bekommen und stell mich morgen vor! Super Hotelkette, der Arbeitsplatz waere wirklich super, vor allem nachdem ich schon fast 4 Jahre nicht mehr arbeite!

So, hab mich noch fuer nen anderen Arbeitsplatz beworben und auch gleich ne Absage per e-mail bekommen! Hasse diese riesen grossen Arbeitgeber.

So, morgen geh ich auch erst mal zum Frisoer und hoffentlich kann ich mir auch die Naegel machen lassen. Muss unbedingt aufhoeren zu beissen!

Mina's first day of School (1st Grade!)

scrapbooking

lately I've been trying to scrapbook while not spending a fortune on it. I try to keep my layouts really simple. I've made these two recently.

I might have to stretch my supplies more since DH just got laid off from work.

I sometimes wish I didn't quit my job almost 4 years ago. But then again, I'm very happy that I did. I'm so very happy that I was able to spend my time with my two little ones instead of having to worry and go to work. And especially just leaving them at Daycare.

I already put in application for a job yesterday and will put in another today. We'll see what happens, I haven't had any luck the last couple of times I tried to go back to work.

I'm just really hoping that DH will find a job that pays as much (or close to - or hey, maybe even more) than his last job.

ooops

First Day of First Grade

I had the best intention on keeping writing this blog again, but before you know it and another couple of weeks went by. Oh well.

I've made an apron from the "A is for Apron" Book (it's the provence smock) and sorry, I didn't get around yet to take a picture! I'll try and have my little girl take one for me. She loves to take pictures! Oh, one of the down things with my new camera is that it wont recognize the picture directly from the camera and I have to download them to the computer first.

M. is in first grade now! We went to the meet and greet with the teacher the Friday before School started, and I wasn't to enthusiastic about the teacher, and now after two weeks of school and still not too crazy about her. The bad thing is that M. says she doesn't want to go to school, while she truly enjoyed it last year. I guess it just takes adjusting after going half day to full day and a new teacher and being home all summer!

ooops, hab mal wieder vergessen zu schreiben. Hab's mir wirklich vorgenommen, aber dann ist's schon wieder vergessen. Na ja,

So, hab auch endlich mal 'ne Schuerze fuer mich gemacht, muss aber noch 'n Foto machen. Ich frag M. die fotografiert so gerne.

M. ist jetzt in der ersten Klasse und wir haben die Lehrerin am Freitag bevor Schulanfang getroffen. Ich war irgendwie nicht so total von ihr begeistert. Und M. hat auch ein paar eingewohnungs probleme. Letztes Jahr ist sie so gerne in die Schule und dieses Jahr nicht so gerne. Neue Lehrering, laengerer Schultag und dann war sie denn ganzen Sommer zuhause.]

Ich hoffe das wird bald besser.
