I don't have really anything specific to say, so I couldn't think of a title. However, now that I am sitting here typing the thunder is booming and I have a feeling the rain is soon to come. Kevin and Sallie Rose are out at Nana and Pop Pop's for a visit and I had to take a pass. I needed some alone time. That does not happen often, but lately I feel a little overcrowded and like I take care of everyone, so give me a break, please.

Kevin's back has been out for a week, and that has not been easy. I take that back, it has not been that bad, but now after a week I am ready for a break. I get tired of cleaning up after three people and carry everyone around on my hip. Now, my back hurts. Poor Kevin, he is miserable too. I think at first he enjoyed the rest, but now he is tired of it as well. We all are! Get better Kev.

Things are hard right now on the working two jobs front. I am so over my job at the architectural firm. I am very opposite from the principal and it is beginning to really get to me. He is one of those who doesn't do a lot, but takes credit for everything when someone else is around. Yes, it is his name on the door, but that is wrong and I am tired of standing for it. The only thing that really is hard, is that he has to approve my final hours of my internship for me to start taking my exams. It has been 5 weeks and he still hasn't signed it. My career is in his lazy hands. So irritating. I do not look forward to going to work every other day, but I gave my word to finish a project and I will. The second worse thing is this final project. It was supposed to be a high end office and he gave the client a really low budget and now the contractors have bid it and it is $25,000 over his estimated budget. Now we have to cut costs. That is a lot of cuts to make. I could go on for days about how irresponsible and crappy he is, but I am trying to let it go and learn a lesson from it. Don't be lazy and expect to get employees and clients to respect your so noted experience.

On the other hand, Sallie Rose is doing great. She is beginning to talk in full sentences, most of which you can understand. She loves to sing and now she loves to play with other kids too. She is loving her summer camp. It doesn't hurt that she has so many boys she likes to see every other day. She is super cute and loves to repeat everything. Her favorites are still "oh my goodness" and "oh Sallie Rose". I love that girl.

We have been going to the pool a lot. It is so hot here. I am glad that she likes the pool. She now has a little tan and it is super cute.

She loves family hugs. She loves talking on the phone, not to real people of course. She loves for Mommy to give all her babies diaper changes. She loves to color with markers and crayons. She of course loves ice cream and Popsicle. A summer must have.

Next weekend we are going to meet Suz, Luke and Ally in Charleston for a little vacay. I can't wait. I love getting out of town, but even more love going to see some of my family. Kevin and I are still dreaming about going on a trip alone in September and it might actually work. Initially he wanted to go to the Keys, but it was going to be a pain getting Sallie Rose to Texas for the week. So, now we have decided to find somewhere along the way. We might go to California (plane tickets are so cheap there???) or just go to San Antonio. I don't care and I can't say that enough. I just want to get away with my husband. I really want SR to spend some alone time with my family too. She is finally at the age where I think she will enjoy them more and not be such a Mommy cling on.

Have a good week everyone and I hope I will have some good news on my future career in the next few posts. I have my first furniture painting commission and I am super pumped about it. It is my hairdresser's front desk. Woo hoo, free hair cuts!
