Well, I accepted the job.
My last day at The Smile Center is Friday and I actually needed this Monday and Tuesday and Wednesday to train at the new place.
It is absolutely beautiful office, Hi-Tech, State of the Art, whatever you would want to call it. TVs and Computers in Every Op. All Digital, completely Paperless, Spacious and just jaw dropping. Im overloaded with information and hopeful all aspects of the construction process will be complete by the time we plan on opening... I mean we still have to set up everything in terms of products and such and the little stuff you forget, but so nice.
The other assistants are wonderful and hopefully we will all get along, I have no problem with either of them and I think we will all mesh well.
I got a mini-van too, 07 Dodge Caravan with 15,000 miles if Im doing the Math correctly since we traded in Matts Yukon we will actually save about $500 dollars a month. They even put in the DVD system for free since that was one thing I really wanted for Zack and seriously like the only thing this van doesnt have...
It also makes me feel good because my credit score has recovered after almost a year and half in the dumps to a 701.... If I could get it to a 750 that would be ideal... Matts needs to improve a little too he was at a 691 so hopefully paying down these credit cards will help that.
Im also sad that I was warned not to finish my basement by the banker.... She said do not put yourself anywhere near the line right now with the market the way it is... I have to agree even though I dont want too. The A/C will have to be alll... but at least this way I have the opportunity to maybe just do the patio, deck, and fence this year and basement next year. That way all those tasks we can pay cash for and wouldnt put ourselves anywhere near scary lines.....
April 8th I find out what I am having. yeah!

Possibly
Today I was offered a new job, under the table. There is a possibility I might have a different opportunity than the Brooklyn Park Clinic. Absolutely no details were given to me because I was at work and 1) the doctor is not allowed to say he is leaving or where he is going and 2) I dont think you are allowed to take assistants with you. I was asked if I was interested, was let know the rumors are true, and was slipped a cell phone number to give the Dr. a call tomorrow, so we will see. This would be a job handed to me in a Horrible Job Market ( for assisting) in a small private practice ( which is what I really wanted) Exact locations on the practice were not given but I was told 694 and Central which would be closer than either clinic ( not by a lot) but even more convenient after work... For me it would be a Big Risk.. but one I might be willing to try. Im not normally a risk taker especially since we do rely on my income, but since at the moment Matt is making better money than normal this might be the only chance I would have to take a risk. If it falls apart.... maybe the Smile Center would hire me back. Or I could be stay at home mom......... I could do temp. assisting you make a lot more hourly and I have the availability with Nancy and Ron. My biggest things will be... if he is taking over an already established clinic, the hours, and of course WAGE... I will update.

Update
Another cute Zack story from last night...
Driving home from Grandma Barb's house....
"Mom I'm this many" ( holding up three fingers)
I look back
"Yes you're right you are 3 years old"
In a very irritated tone " Then why does Grandma keep calling me her Number one Boy?"
Laughing now " because you are her favorite"
"Well I want to be her number 3 boy because I am 3"
"All right Zack I will call her and let her know you want to be called her number 3 boy"

Recent Zack"isms"
Last night Zack did something funny so I thought I would write about all the little things that are funny that he has said recently... some maybe funnier in person mind you, but Im his mom and i think he is frickin hilarious....
Last night Zack was playing his favorite game in the world "the weed" to us it is known as the "wii" but Zack insists on adding a D and we seem to hear "I love weed" an aweful lot from a three year old. Anyways it was on timeout on Sunday because Zack wasnt listening, so Monday he was really excited to get home and play tennis ( his fav.) We arrived home at 630pm and Zack went straight to the wii I went to the computer and daddy slept in the chair. At about 8pm I hear the TV click off and see Zack walking towards me... holding his elbow and moving his arm up and down... " Mom, my arm is killllling me" I will have the only three year old with tennis elbow.
Upside Down... ice and down
The Animal Human Society... pet hair cut ( I have no clue)
wii... weed
A conversation between Nancy and I... ( Zack is playing catch with Ron in the background) Nancy "One of the twins announcers always came into Lyndale Garden Center and bought fertilizer I think he lives in Alberville" me" Oh really which one Dick or Bert?" Nancy" Well Bert lives in Florida" ZACK "NO GRANDMA Bert lives on Sesame Street!"
just a few I can think of at the moment, there is plenty more I can update later : )

Long time
I know its been a long time since my last post, but thats how lazy I have been. I havent accomplished anything in the last month. I thought I was doing good about a week ago when I finally cleaned the livingroom and foyer and kitchen and made dinner and made rice krispie bars and then made breakfast, but thats all the farther I got. Laundry is endless the bedrooms and bathroom are a disaster, and I really need to go organize Toys R Us in the basement. Some days I feel good and the other days I can not keep my eyes open past 6pm. I love getting off at 230pm, thats such a nice time you SHOULD be able to get a lot done when you get off then, clean, cook, alone time. NOT ME!!!! I get off at 230, drive for an 50 minutes to where ever Zack is, try to get him ready to go which takes anywhere from 30 minutes to 1 an hour and a half ( sometimes he is sleeping when I get there and we DO NOT mess with naps, sometimes he has no pants or socks on and is uncooperative in getting dress, and sometimes he refuses to try to go potty before we leave, and sometimes all of the above).
It will then take me 1:15 to drive home in the traffic on 65 going N. So that gets me home at about 6 in the evening usually. Yuck.
That is why I made the decision to switch clincs. I love Big Lake and all of my ladies there, but I need to cut some time and miles and headaches out of my day. Brooklyn Park Smile Center opens in April and I put in my request to be transfered ( scary!!) they are paperless, digital, and I will have to relearn everything, but I prefer to do it now, when everyone has to relearn then later when I would be considered a "newbie". Hopefully all goes well with this decision. I will cut anywhere from 20 to 30 miles out of my daily commute. The distance to work is the same although I pick-up more traffic going into work and will have to leave earlier than I do now, I will be 10 minutes to Zackary after work ( either at my moms in CR or Nancy and Rons in Crystal) and can hopefully miss the load of 65N traffic. I can be home hopefully by 4pm thats 2 more hours to accomplish things and hopefully I wont be so exhausted from driving 100 some miles.
I am now 14 weeks and some days a long and Matt finally let me buy something for the baby. He doesnt want to purchase anything until we know if its a girl or a boy ( to know what we have or dont have) but I really wanted something ... so he let my get a Bumbo and tray at Target... Im so excited. I do feel like its a boy again, but until they tell me different Im stil hoping for the Quest for a Princess.......
Nicole and I leave for Chicago this next week to get some Pizza. It just worked out that my dad requested the presence of Zackary so he will no longer be coming, which will be easier for sure. Nicole and I can go and enjoy some delicious pizza and little heartburn.
