Some Pictures

Time for just a quick update here... it's been far too long since any Freya pictures were posted, so here we go!

Here we are eating peas. We LOVE peas.

She will grab the spoon and just shovel the peas into her mouth. She had peas in her hair and all over me by the time we were done eating them last night.

We also love our lion, he has a mirror one one side and every time we sit her in her bouncy seat, she pulls the lion down and puts it in her mouth.


And here is the one that I like to call "leave me alone lady, can't you see I got my thumb and my dinosaur??"

Well Then

So - the day before we went to Richmond for the big Freya meet and greet, I got laid off. The very strange thing: I was HAPPY about it. I hated the drive, hated having to beg for work to do and then having to drag it out so that I would have something to do, on the other hand, it was a good job, I enjoyed the work and my coworkers were fantastic. I have two theories: they weren't planning for me to really come back from my maternity leave, or they just re-distributed the work and discovered that they didn't really need me after all. (I bet that they probably would have backed out from hiring me in the first place if I hadn't been knocked up.) And I am so excited to be able to just relax at home (kiddo is still going to daycare, because it's already paid for and I will be working again soon, best to keep her on her regular schedule).

The best part - I already have interviews lined up and they are for folks in my neck of the woods. I am so excited that I won't have to drive a hundred miles a day just to get back and forth from work. And I'm not kidding, it really is about 100 miles - 45 miles from my house to Atlanta, and then 45 miles back. Ugh.

Now, I have to go take a shower and get ready for my interview today! Followed by a trip to the gym. This rocks!
