Jitters On the First Day

I started off VERY nervous but was met with a whole lot of on the job training...well, not so much training, but more like a sink or swim scenario with a few tasks. I swam! God's grace was totally shielding me today. I had 1 moment of feeling overwhelmed but it was quickly side swiped with something else that I had no time to process my feeling of being overwhelmed. lol

There are a lot of nice, helpful and strong personalities throughout my department, which makes a whole lot more sense about me being hired based on my personality. lol Having thick skin should be listed as a job requirement. Again, everyone is nice, but there is no water cooler talk...there just isn't any time. I don't think this is just my perception, I literally saw people working non-stop (other than lunch breaks). The assistant that is "training" me is VERY nice and I can tell we will get along really well.

I was surprised by a lovely delivery today. David sent me a BEAUTIFUL flower arrangement that smells amazing and the bright colored flowers really added a much needed touch to my drab cubical.
:-/ I have got to work on making my little space a lot more welcoming. :-)

When I pulled into the garage I rushed out of my car (actually ran) into the house to kiss all over my boys! I received the warmest home coming ever! I was climbed on, hugged, kissed, and questions about my day were coming at me like a firing squad. I LOVE MY BOYS!!! Perry even greeted me as though I had just brought in a bag of treats for him or something...he was so excited! lol

The boys did great. Tammy did great. Jackson kept requesting hugs from Tammy, Trevor was extremely helpful and Nathan fussed about something...I can't recall at this very moment. ;-) David was a rock star and came home (1 hr before me) and put on his Mr. Mom cap and took over dinner (Tammy was starting the process) and had a GREAT attitude about running the house for a bit.

What a wonderful first day of work/new nanny/new role for David! I am blessed!

Trevor (while hugging me at the door): Mommy! How much money did you make today?!
Me: Ummm...well...
David: Hundreds, Mommy made hundreds of dollars today
Trevor, Jackson, Nathan: YEA MOMMY!!!
(Only if that were true...but pretty cool feeling like a hero for moment! lol)
