Life today

Today was actually a good day. Actually it's been a wonderful week with my little family.  I got to spend 3 days straight at home with my family, then I worked Saturday, then had Sunday off.  Today was my first day of training for Delta RR Ticket Agent. It's been a little overwhelming learning the system, but it's been fun too.  We had an opportunity to donate blood today.  The last time I gave blood was probably in high school or when I was at BYU-Hawaii.  I use to give blood all the time, I know I've given at least 10 times just in high school, and so today was actually quite nice to do it again.

My days off with my little family was amazing.  It'll be even amazing once I'm done with training, because once I'm done with training, I'm done working 40 hour weeks.  Talk about a big sigh of relief.  I'm very grateful for my husband and the sacrifices he's had to make because of my work schedule.  But we always knew there was a light at the end of the tunnel, and we're almost there.  I can't wait to work ONLY 16 hours a week, and then hopefully we'll be able to run-away somewhere, seeing how only my parents have been making good use of my flying benefits.

Here are some updates for our babies:

Moe (2 y.o. = 30 months to be exact):
- He's talking more and more (maybe too much lol), he speaks in sentences, and even in ways and attitudes we don't like. His favorite word is still "No" but now he's somehow learned how to talk back with the answer "No", and we know he knows exactly what we're saying to him lol.
- His hair is still long, and I want to cut it, it just looks messy most of the time and I think he needs a new look.
- He loves to say the alphabet and he loves singing the Alphabet song and Twinkle Twinkle little star.  He tries to sing along, and it's just the cutest thing! :)

Kesaia (16 months):
- She picks up quick! She'll repeat words after you and when you speak to her she'll also respond in the way she's suppose to.
- She imitates her brother as well, when he says something she'll say it too.
- She still nurses at night, but I've been giving her her sippy cup more often.

As for Fehi and I, we're doing good.  We just started school on Wednesday August 24th, we've had to drop our Math class and are taking 3 online classes, 1 on-campus class, and an jogging/walking class.  Hopefully we shed some of that weight, but what's awesome about that class is we can bring our kids! yayy!!  Have a good day everyone! :)

Busiest Summer of my Life! lol ;)

This has been the busiest summer EVER! Since we've been married I never worked until about December last year, and even so, I was only working 11 hours a week.  Then in May I started at Delta working full-time! (I feel like I've explained my life already..well about this.. ah, ainokea! lol) That alone has put me into retirement mode (for real).  It's coming home late at night (11:45ish pm) then getting the kids into bed by 12:30-1am (cause yes they wait up for mom most of the time), then waking up when I feel like it, trying to get the house cleaned, and attempting cook "dinner" though it's barely lunch time then off to work by 230pm to start it all over again.

Lately it's been overwhelming because I've had to do some serious RE-scheduling.  When I got hired on to Delta, it was for a seasonal position, and it was to end on August 31, 2011.  So I schedule my classes around that, thinking all would be well.  I'd start school today (on Aug. 24) do them in the morning, and then work in the evening.  Well, luckily we found out that we were gonna get hired on more permanently as a ready-reserve ticket counter agent.  I was happy, VERY happy, but the reality of it set in, that I would have to miss two weeks of school, which one of my teachers was fine with, but my teacher was not having it.  He basically said if I missed tests, then I miss them. No good.

So instead of taking two online classes, and two on-campus classes on MWF, I've had to change it to taking 3 online classes, of which 2 are "waste-time" classes (as in I don't really need to take them right now, but I am just so I could keep it full-time), then I have another class that starts later in october, and then I've added on an extra exercise class, cause I mind as well get a grade for it to keep me motivated lol.  I just feel like everything's a little chaotic right now, and all because I'm accommodating my two weeks of training, and my work schedule.

So as of right now, I feel like we need to run away somewhere.  The last of my family left yesterday, and   so the convenient "just-in-case" babysitter/visitor is not here anymore, and so it's putting a little stress on me.  I actually woke up at 645am and dropped my 8am Math class, that I need for my major, because 1. I didn't have a babysitter to watch my kids, and 2. my math teacher wasn't being very flexible with me and it was either risk missing two weeks and possibly not passing, or just going majority online and passing. So though this semester we're probably only taking one class that we actually need towards applying for the nursing program, I accept it because I know it'll be worth it once I get trained (starts next monday) and then I go working 40 hours a week to 16 hours a week.

So STRESS is my name today, but it'll be fine.  I'm looking at the positive, not the negative, and in a few weeks from now things won't seem as busy and stressful, hopefully. :)
