My fab job!










































































































































I don't think I have ever really blogged about my job?? Before I do, these pics are from Thursday. Our office manager was being silly and wanted to take pics outside. We were discussing how the true "charlies angels" pose is, not knowing that the Dr. was snapping pictures the whole time! It really is funny though cuz we are a bunch of nerds! (we missed you Heather & Jennifer!!)

I have been working at a dentist office since May and I absolutely love it! I really love learning about the dental world and interacting with all of our great patients, and I super super love the gals I work with (ok, the DR isn't so bad either HAHA.....he is my cousin) I enjoy being there and laughing....and even being laughed AT cuz I am kind of a nerd! It's even better now that one of my best friends is working there! It's great when I need someone to talk to about crappiness and I can sit down at lunch and vent......AND to be around when someone else needs to vent. On the flip side, I really miss being with my kids. I will be honest, there are days that I am happy to be away from the craziness and volume level of my house, but most days I feel guilty that someone else is putting my babies down for a nap. Especially yesterday when the older FIVE (crazy I know!) started school and I got to be home with my 3 babies!! It was so great to just hang out with them, wipe their cute faces, have them curl up with me on the couch and just chat 3 year old talk w/them. I am excited about the things I am doing that will benefit our family for years to come, but that doesn't take away the sadness of leaving them with someone else. I'm sure most working moms feel the same way.

You want to know what's sad?? I know lots of working moms who don't feel that way. It goes to show you that you are an amazing loving and devoted mother.

It looks like play not work by the way! I love those kinds of jobs!

It's better to work at a place you love if you can't be with your kiddos. So good for you. Not many have that. Hope all else is well.

I know you must miss those kiddos, but I do hear you about the days you are grateful to be away. I still think you are amazing just for having 8 kids! I know I am thankful for my great escapes I get away from my 2!!!!

I'm glad you enjoy your job too. Like Renee says it's good to love your work! It makes it easier! I'm glad you are enjoying the working world!

P.S. You look HOT for having 8 kids! :o)

I love that you enjoy your job so much. I'm so in the feeling "guilty" stage of not wanting to get a job, but we really need to.

BTW...my husband ran into your husband at DI. He looks like he has lost quite a bit of weight! How funny that he ran into both of you in a matter of a couple weeks! :)
