I survived..........I think?

Hey there I made it through the day. I am one beat cookie. Long day........ lots of fun, busy at times, slow at times, confusing, interesting, and glad its over. I was nervous but not about the office or him. He is a sweet man who is very patient, understanding, helpful, and understands I need to learn. The ladies who work for the other attorney are really nice and one of them I know from years ago, our sons know each other and I was the boys Den Leader when I did Cub Scouts. I was nervous of messing up. I think I did alright. Took a while to get the correct way to answering the phone without making a stumble. I think the good morning or good afternoon law office works best. He had no preference either way. I got an hour for lunch so I was able to come home, eat my sandwich, share my morning with my honey, have a hot cup of tea and I even had time to fold a batch of towels that were in the dryer.

My Bill left me a card this morning sitting on my front seat. It was a congratulations on your new job, but he wrote the sweetest note inside that said how proud he is of me for going back to work and for completing school. I was crying before I pulled out of my driveway........I know I am a sap. I have off tomorrow, which is great. I plan on going to Curves with my mom, I still have about 30 days before my membership expires. Still so chilly here to walk outside. I have a Girl Scout First Aid Class tomorrow night, and I have 2 girls coming home with Katie from school because of their moms and work. Hey.......got to pitch in and help each other, right? Well other then that I am just waiting for Bill to bring back some TCBY and then under the electric blanket I am going. Aunt Flo decided to show up yesterday and visit.

I will add one last thought, its about my kids. They came through for me today. I was very worried about them being home together for a few minutes. But they were great then and tonight with dinner. My Katie was so helpful this morning and she was when she got home. She did her homework without any arguing, she made the meatballs for dinner. She cleaned up the dinner dishes with me and washed down the table. Man when they decide to do it, they do it right. Well I think one last batch of clothes in the dryer to fold, then Bill should be home with my treat. Have a great night ladies and I will check in on you all tomorrow and I will catch up on the missed posts.

Love you guys.........

Debbie

Sounds like a very successful day!! Boy, who knew about the kids??? Maybe you should have done this a while back. LOL! Wonderful that they pitched in and helped so much. Also, what a sweet thing for your DH to do with your card this morning and your treat tonight. Hope you're snuggled under your blanket by now. Enjoy your day off tomorrow.

Deb,

Sounds like you survived the first day quite well! That was very sweet and thoughtful of Bill to think of you in such a special way on your first day! Love the fact that your kids pitched in and helped you out! By the way, I read your post about taking notes...great idea. I know I did that and the new girls in our office do that too. Good luck on the pen idea...pens disappear in our office so fast you can't keep track of them. I'm lucky since I do the office supply ordering I order a little bit of everything to keep everyone happy!

Enjoy your day off!
