Day 2 of Lent

Y'all I completely forgot I had guest coming over today. How horrible is that? To make matters worse they don't eat meat! I'm such a horrible hostess. I'm sure I'll be laughing at this over the weekend, but seriously how do you forget you have guest coming over?

Thankfully I remembered about two hours before they were scheduled to arrive. I had time to clean out the fridge and do the floors. Granted I clean the floors daily....we have dogs need I say more? I've been keeping up on the bathrooms and dishes. One of the perks of being jobless I guess. Thankfully I didn't have to go buy any meat for dinner. My husband of course didn't want the cheese quesadillas I made since they didn't have chicken in it so I whipped him up some that had ground turkey. This guest is the same person that brought up Lent and made me go on this new journey. I say journey though there's people who do this yearly as part of their religion. I'm a Christian myself, but growing up my family never participated in Lent.

As always I have a problem online shopping. Like my normal routine I looked at the daily sale sites this time with no intention of buying anything. However, I did get alot of good ideas for birthday presents for Ethan. Granted this kid already has everything he could possibly need. I mean the amount of books we have for him is insane. But I added a highchair to his Amazon list along with some other things he will need around his birthday.

I was actually very great full my friend came over with her little girl. Ethan had a ball watching Emily run around the house playing. The dogs also enjoyed it...especially when she dropped food. It's good to hang out at home with friends and other mama's instead of going out.

Our family has had a crazy week and month. I started a new job with a start up company that looks to be very promising. However, like with every new job you go through the roller-coaster of meeting new coworkers, learning new systems and protocols and praying you don't make a mistake on your first day. Thankfully, I have previous experience with this line of work so there hasn't been too much of a learning curve. I just pray this new adventure is promising since I've never worked for a company just starting up. Little man seems to be doing okay with mama and daddy working full time and he stays with his aunt Bambam. I have full trust in her since she has two healthy kiddo's of her own...she's a pro in my eyes. For the past month we've started introducing him to new stage one baby foods. Ethan really enjoys sweet potato, but the green beans are the spawn of the Satan. We still have a few more vegetables to go through before we can actually start on the fruits.

Whew it's been another crazy week. I had some very upsetting news over the weekend that threw my family for a whirlwind and put us in a tight financial situation. I've actually been working for this start up company for a few weeks now. Last week the actual owner decided to go on a drinking binge for 5 days leaving the VP and me cleaning up the mess. Making sure contractors were paid for jobs and trying to keep the company afloat. I got a call from the VP Saturday letting me know that she tried to log into the company bank account and noticed it's been closed down. Turns out the owner who we checked in on Monday because we couldn't get in contact with was passed out drunk and unresponsive on a blowup mattress in our new office we haven't moved into yet, closed out all the banking accounts and hauled tail. I'm not bitter about this...correction I'm not bitter I'm madder than a puffed toad. I contacted him right after I was informed and let him know that I

The flu has made it rounds in our home....I'm at its mercy. So far I've lost my voice and my body is completely drained and i'm pretty sure I ate green beans out the can with some toast and Nutella one night for dinner. How single parents deal with taking care of a sick kid when they are sick themselves is beyond me. Props to y'all rock stars.  So the hubby has been taking care of the kiddo and I kid you not he's like a deer caught in the headlights on some things. He's a great father to Ethan and I couldn't of asked for a better husband. But it's sink or swim time in the Koenig house. I'll admit Ethan is spoiled...heck he's only 5 months old who's child isn't at that age? He likes to be held all the time. Tummy time is the end of the world. His bottle better be ready before he realizes he's hungry and his favorite toy the owl better not talk trash or he's getting the gummies. Also, we've starting sleep training...pray for
