Just another manic Monday...

... or Tuesday, or Wednesday, or ANY day of the week for the past 2 weeks! My parents went on a little two week trip to Hawaii, leaving me as the mother of 4 children, working a full time 40 hour a week job, a part time job, finding somewhere to live,and cleaning my grandparents house.... and do it all sanely. Ha ha ha... well, they're back now and I survived so I can finally write about it. Basically, it was a crazy, overwhelming, exhausting two weeks. Some highlights included the Christmas chain I posted earlier, going to the So You Think You Can Dance concert with Lauren on the 23rd, finding a place to live, and being promoted from temp work to a real full time employee starting next Monday!
I don't think I wrote about it before, but my first day at the bakery, I got a call from a job I had just applied to and had been told that they offered the position to someone else, and they had another position! It was a much better paying job with great benefits and flexibility, so I had to take it! So long Macey's bakery and hello to StoresOnline, the place where I now work. The only catch was that it was basically a temp job with a 2 month guarentee with a good chance to be hired on afterwards. I started 3 weeks ago and this week I was told that starting next Monday, I'll be hired on as a real full time employee! So I'm really excited cuz I like it here at StoresOnline and there are many perks. My job teaching group piano lessons for Art City Music Academy in their new Draper location started last week as well. The first week went okay and I know I will get better and better as I keep teaching! My Thursday classes have tons of students while my Wednesday classes have just 1 or 2... so Thursdays are a lot crazier, but they're fun and I just laugh at myself a lot every time I mess up. Oh the joy of small children.
Like I mentioned, I found somewhere to live! It's a cute little townhouse in PG at Rockwell Townhomes... there are 4 girls total, I share the master bedroom with one girl, and I think it's a super cute little place. I have a large soaking tub and a walk in closet that I'm pretty excited about. The community there also has a pool, fitness center, clubhouse with movie theater room, parks, walking trails, etc. It will be fun. I get to move in October 1st and I'm definitely looking forward to it! It will also be much closer to both jobs and that will be nice to not have to commute so far!
I got to go to the SYTYCD concert with Lauren on the 23rd and it was super fun! I am now officially in love with Gev. He was awesome! It was lots of fun.
Anyway, I guess the database is working at work once again so I'll end here... but at least I was able to update a little. :)

Wow, busy busy. I am so jealous that you got to go see the dances. Did you like Gev on the show or did he just impress you at the show? What was your favorite dance? (Did they just do ones from the show?)
