I am sick! The kind of sick that makes you want to not leave your bedroom. Just lay in bed with a trashcan in reach. Yea that is me today. I started feeling a little nauseous at work last night but finished out the work and came home and passed out. I woke up about 2 hours later with that twisted feeling in my belly. Needless to say it wasn't pretty for the rest of the night. Now i am exhausted and want to do nothing more than sleep.
Hubby had to work at 6am so i had no choice but to get up with the kids. Which we didn't wake up til 8:30 so Phabian didn't make it to school. Which i guess i don't really care as i was not going to be able to walk him over there anyways and him and MJ have been all snotty and coughing too. I am hoping i will feel better by 2 today so i can go to work but if not i guess it will be home for me. I don't think making a food product, when you are sick, that thousands of people are going to eat would be a good idea anyways.
So i am just going to try and sleep for awhile when i lay the kids down for a nap and i think a trip to the doctor is in order. Cross your fingers and pray that it isn't the flu cause i cant handle that right now plus that kids haven't had the shot this year (i now bad mom right here).
Hope everyone else is feeling way better than me today. Oh yea and just to add this in there, i am not going to be doing as much random posting. With job outside the house, kids to take care of, and exhausted mommy syndrome i don't have time for random. I will try to post as often as possible and maybe throw some random in there when i feel up to it. I hope someone will miss me lol!

Will Work For Quiet
So i think i am the only person in the world who is excited to go to work. I mean really excited. Work is my break from the kids and although i would much rather be at a nice restaurant, having a fantastic meal, work will do.
When i am at work i don't have to talk to anyone. I can do my job while being in complete silence. When i do talk to someone it is, at least, an adult i am talking to and not a child. I can keep my nose to the grindstone and get it done all while being in my own head and not having to yell "NO", "STOP", "DON'T" every 5 minutes.
I don't mean to sound like i don't love my kids or like i just wanna run away but i do sometimes. Sometimes i need some me time and that is what work is for me. Making salsa in that little shop is my ME time. I get to focus on what i am doing and it doesn't involve wiping a nose, butt, or anything else of a disgusting nature. I can relax and sing along to the radio or joke with the other girls i work with. No matter what i don't have to yell and that is amazing to me.
On a different note, it snowed last night. I mean really snowed (or at least for us it was really snowing). We got 3 inch in my yard of the fluffiest white snow. It is still snowing now on and of and is suppose to do that all day. I love the snow and it makes the cold worth it.
I wish the kids weren't all snotty because i would love to let them go outside and play in it. It is so rare that we actually get snow anymore. When i was a keep we use to get feet at a time and now we are luck if we get a foot total all winter. We use to have to get a foot before we even got a 2 hour delay at school and now they get out for 3 inches. Things have changed.
My kids are so amazed by the snow. More amazed than i ever was. Probably because they never see it like i did. I was use to 3 foot of snow and i loved it but it wasn't exciting. Phabian exclaimed last night, "This is the biggest snow i have ever sawed," and outside of the bad grammer he was slightly right.
So here is to snow angels and 3 foot of snow. I hope you enjoy it for those of you who have it.
Oh yea don't forget to pop over to my research post and leave me a comment. I am still looking for all the participants i can get.

First Day Went Well
Hi ladies and gentleman! Sorry i didn't send this last night but i was exhausted! My first day went great!!! There are only 3 of us right now that work (there was 4 but apparently one of the girls quit cause she has been a no show for 2 days). Maggie the owner, Michelle the manager, and I are the only consistent workers. Last night Maggie's girlfriend came in and helped us. We were filling the order for Whole Food Stores. It is very much like cooking at home just on a very large scale lol.
We have a routine that we go through. When we first get there we wipe everything down with sanitizer and prep out trash bins. Then we move on to washing all the produce. We hand wash everything with this stuff called bio-wash which is suppose to be better for the veggies than the regular water. We have to cut bad spots out of the tomatoes by hand and cut the top off peppers by hand but other than that there is no cutting involved.
We also package by hand which is pretty cool cause once you get the hang of it you kinda just zone out and go into auto pilot. We have to fill the containers, put the lids on, date them, and then package them. The more people we have the faster it goes. When it was just me and Michelle for the first 4 hours it was moving kind of slow but once Maggie and her girlfriend got there it moved way faster. I got off at 10 even though they were not finished. She told me to go on home since i had been there since 1.
Maggie is the sweetest person ever and so funny. They had the radio on the whole time and Maggie would start singing and dancing. She is quiet the comedian at times. The whole crew if fun to be with and it is more like a bunch of friends than a job. I hope as she expands she keeps this atmosphere cause it is very fun and makes the work fun.
I am not really sore today except for the palm of my hand and my thumb from closing all the lids and pouring the salsa into the tubs. Other than that i am actually looking forward to work today. We will work today and possibly tomorrow but not really sure about the rest of the week as I am not sure what kind of orders she has to fill besides the one they finished last night. So thank you all who sent me thoughts and prayers yesterday cause it went great!

Questions For The Mommies
Ok so no pictures to share today...well at least not yet lol. I have a question for all my mommies who have kids in school.
Yesterday we went to pick up Phabian from school and his teacher was telling us how smart and wonderful a student he is. She said that he can trace his name perfectly (that is one of the things they practice everyday), he catches on quick to the songs and games, and that he is very patient and well minded. At this point she must have noticed me looking at her with this stunned look on my face because the child she just described sounded, to me, nothing like the child i see at home.
Patient is not a word i use to describe my energetic little boy. He, for that matter, has always had his mommy's personality of now now now. He usually lives in the moment and never thinks past what he is doing that second.
Now i will not argue that he is smart. We noticed from an early age that he was very quick to learn. He tends to catch on to things very quick when he wants to learn them. I was so proud to have someone else notice my child's intelligence.
He can trace his name and most of his letters???? Are you serious?????? They sent home a practice sheet last week for their letter of the week "Ee". We tried for hours to get him to trace them like they do at school and he would refuse. When he would "trace" it he would just scribble on top of it not even trying to actually trace it.
I am in no way saying that my kid is a mean, impatient, brat but he does have his days. He is very hard headed and tends to like to do what he wants to do and you either can fight him or you can just go with it. I was just kind of stunned.
So here is my question for the mommies....Does this sound anything like you kids? Are they one kid at school and another at home? Did i miss some mommy memo that says your kid will be prefect for teachers and a hellion for you? He doesn't share much of his days with us. He tells us he played and ever so often we get a story about what they did that day. I know i have a lot of my ladies that have just put their kids in school this year so i am looking for some insight here. How do you kids behave at school compared to home?
