The very last thing I want to do right now is a post about Veda. That is probably the worst mom-thing I could say! Boy is she tough. And she has been getting out of bed over and over for the past hour and a half. Waking up Quinn, begging for more water/blankies/babies, more blankets, less blankets, socks on/off. Plus she bit me today... not once or twice but THREE times. Talk about the terrible threes.... she is definitely making me learn some patience. Or rather, question if I have any patience left at all. </div>

Despite the hard times I have with her lately, she is an absolute doll. She can be so sweet and kind and loving. She loves to snuggle and be held. She is spunky and funny and full of life and makes our lives complete. We love her dearly. (And I'll love her even more tomorrow after I've had a break from her for a few hours!)</div>

Happy almost-Birthday Veda!! And here begins the month of birthdays at our house!</div>

Thanks for your sweet comments and advice after my last post. The suggestion to "wait it out" seemed popular. The problem with that -- after 30 days of working there I can no longer work anywhere else in Austin. Which gives me a little bit of pressure to decide quickly. BUT.... this past weekend went WAY better. Not perfect, but way way better than my first couple of days. I am feeling much better and feel like it is all working out. I got a few walk-ins this weekend. AND was able to lower my prices a little. So thanks for your concern and prayers. It's helping :)</div>

One day was awful, and the other was bearable. (Hopefully my new boss isn't out there reading my blog.) I won't go into full details- I just wonder if I am the right fit for this salon. It is REALLY nice. They did a great job on making the salon look and feel nice. Everyone works together to keep it looking nice and clean and uniform- and I really like that. But I think my biggest hurdle is that I have to charge what she tells me to charge, and she told me to charge too much. I think she was trying to be nice to me... by putting me at a higher 'level.' But really- I would rather be a at a lower level and have a clientele that is more like me (people like me don't pay what I am charging). I worked all day last Friday and Saturday and had one walk in... a bang trim. Which was terribly overpriced. I had two other appointments of people I knew, but they might be the only two people who are willing to pay my outrageous prices. So -- if there are not a lot of walk-ins and I have to rely on my own people, I have no idae where I am going to find any more people to do their hair. And it sucks to sit around waiting (although I realize that it is part of the job... it's just how it is when you start somewhere new).<br />
I'm not working THAT much. But boy is it interfering with my life! I'm pretty sure it's just because it's December, but it's still turning out to be really hard to swallow to miss things that are very important to me. I am room mom for Quinn's class at school. And I have to miss her Christmas party. Which makes her really sad, and also makes me feel bad because I AM IN CHARGE OF THE PARTY. So I am having to figure out how to throw a party that I'm not going to be helping at. And console a little girl who really wants me there. I am missing another half marathon. I thought it was heartbreaking the first time this happened a couple months ago. And it turns out to be just as heartbreaking the second time around. The crazy/sad thing about this race is that I wouldn't only need to miss an hour of work... and my boss still said no. It's apparently pretty important to have me sitting around her salon for that hour instead fulfilling important goals in my life.<br />
I know that some of my other concerns about the people I work with might get easier in time. A lot of the other stylists and coordinators are really nice and semi-accepting of new people. I enjoy meeting new people and have looked forward to this aspect of going back to work. It just isn't turning out to be the way I thought it would be.<br />
<br />
In a way I feel like this job was a huge blessing! It happened to me fairly easily. Almost easily enough that I feel like it is 'meant to be.' BUT-- that doesn't mean that I necessarily want to start all over in my job hunting. I do feel like I looked at quite a few other salons, and even had other interviews. The thought of doing all that again sounds AWFUL!! And some of these concerns are selfish and I should just get over it :)<br />
<br />
Wow-- if this isn't the biggest downer of a post I don't know what is. What do you think? Should I look for a new job? Should I stick it out and see if I can get over some of these things that seem to be bothering me?Amberhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13012115184805122585noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26277716.post-56916954736714264452013-12-04T19:13:00.002-07:002013-12-04T19:13:54.991-07:00working girlBig changes happening in the Keller house. I am going back to work! I haven't worked since we moved, but I've been itching to get back to it. I applied for a job, had an interview, (then a second interview), then offered a job! I feel like it all fell into place so quickly and easily. Even my Texas cosmetology license came in the mail on the same day I was offered a position.<br />
<br />
Dave and I have both gone back and forth on the decision. We have had some mixed emotions about it... Wondering if the timing was right, the kids were old enough, the scheduling would be too hard to juggle. But... it's falling into place. I will only work 2 days one week, then 2.5 the next. And-- the kids will be with Dave when I'm at work. I found a really awesome salon in downtown Round Rock that I am really excited about. It is an Aveda salon-- which I did before in California, so I'm looking forward to Aveda again. It has such a culture that goes with it-- education, client experience, salon atmosphere, etc. For instance- I HAVE TO WEAR ALL BLACK AGAIN!!! Yikes. I feel like my usual goal when getting dressed is to combine as many colors as possible without looking like a clown. And when I do end up looking like a clown, I'm good with it. So that will be a change. And I'm sure my kids will have to get used to me being gone more than I am now. But.. I think it will be good for all of us. A chance for me to get away and be something other than a mom for a few hours a week. (And a chance for the kids to spend more time with Dave.) So if you read this and live in Texas-- I will finally agree to do your hair :)<br />

wow... I am horrible at keeping up with this blog. I blame Instgram... really. I get so much more instant satisfaction from there. I can post immediately, and I know that people are seeing it. </div>

And since I got a new phone for my birthday, I no longer need to constantly put my pictures on my lap top. Which means I have no pictures from the last month on my computer.... they are happily stored in my new phone that has tons of storage. So these pictures in this post are not super recent. But who's gonna complain- at least I'm doing a post, right? ;)</div>

VEDA IS HARD. She is seriously at a very trying stage right now. She is an absolute doll and can be the sweetest little human on the planet. But .... she is two. And SO much more spunky than my other kids were. She likes to and <i>tries</i> to push buttons. She is really good at making stink faces and will growl or bite at you for no reason. It's awesome. So just trying to deal with her hard phase and teach her the best we all can. And a lot of the time trying not to laugh when discipling her because even when she's naughty she is just so dang cute. </div>

I did a mini class at church a few weeks ago (at Enrichment... or whatever they call it now). It was on decorating on a dime. ha... like I'm some sort of expert or something?! I'm not!! But it was good for me. I hate doing things like that. Plus I got to hang out with and be twins with Alanna (no-- we didn't plan our outfits. But next time I think we will)<br />

You know that saying "When it rains it pours?" Well.. I feel like it's raining in my life. Life is stressful. Hard kids, sick kids, appliances breaking, and just some other hard 'life' things happening. I'm sure things will slow down and become normal again... maybe I'll be more inspired to blog more often :)<br />
Until then, a few more pictures of Veda.<br />

Dave did a 100 mile (yes, I said ONE HUNDRED) mile bike ride last weekend. The kids loved waiting for him to finish and watching him come in from his ride. We kept busy with coloring and eating grapes<br />

Dave threw me the most awesome surprise party ever for my birthday! I was completely surprised! It was an awesome night and I felt so loved by all the people who showed up (and all got a babysitter!!) </div>

She and Allisa helped Dave with the party (or did most of it??!) She was awesome enough to host at her lovely house. And I love her because we are the same height- and often I look taller than her in pictures :)</div>

My actual birthday was on Saturday. My awesome "Sole Sisters" all set their alarms for midnight to come over and decorate the outside of my house. We were all planning to run at 5 am that day, so midnight was the best time to get it up so I would be surprised without catching them. It was so nice. There were streamers and this '30' piƱata and a gift card to a running store. <br />

Thirty. You guys. I'm turning 30. In two days I will no longer be in my twenties. Crazy, right? 30 is kinda old? Okay, not really. I know I'm not 'old.' But it is still a big milestone. I'm not getting any younger- amiright?!</div>

I'm in the best shape of my life (notice I didn't say 'skinniest' shape of my life). I might weight more than I ever have -- but it's muscle, right? Except for those few pounds around my middle. But hey- I LOVE chocolate so it's an okay balance.<br />

She loves story time at the library. She is also loving 'chapel' at Hendrix's preschool. The first 15 minutes on Thursdays is open for parents to come. And they sing songs. Veda thinks it's awesome -- Hendrix, not as much :) (although he many times says that music class was his favorite part of preschool)<br />

Saturday was a beautiful day, so we decided to head to a park! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There is this park in Georgetown that my kids love, but after we drove there we found out that it had all been taken down! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Sad!! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But we found another great park and had a great time.</div>

Since Veda learned how to get out of her crib- it was time for a big girl bed! And a big girl bed means a new blanket for her bed. Quinn has a darling comforter from Target, but I needed one that matched that was toddler bed size. So off to Joann's to find some matching fabric. I was worried I wouldn't be able to get the colors close, but I was pleasantly surprised.</div>

I really don't like that she can do this. She learned last night. I had put her to bed and wouldn't let her get up to go potty (she had plenty of warning that she had to go BEFORE we laid her down). So when we walked out of her room without giving in to her demand she climbed right out!! Then did it a few more times in the middle of the night. I'm NOT ready!!</div>

My mom decided to come last week when I had pneumonia. Dave couldn't go to work since I couldn't get out of bed for a few days. So my awesome mom flew out to help me with the kids. </div>

Before she came, I had a few awesome friends who had my kids over to play and brought me dinner. It was a lifesaver.<br />

And my mom was able to go back to the doctor with me. Even though I was doing a lot better, I was having a lot of pain in my lungs, so I went back to the doc to check it out. We did a breathing treatment and I was given an inhaler and cough medicine (on top of my already 2 antibiotics). Pneumonia is no joke!<br />

The last night my mom was here Dave had a soccer game. She babysat so I was able to go. I never get to see Dave play, so it was great. We made a date of it and got some ice cream afterwards.<br />

It was so fun to have my mom here. I don't know how I would have done it without her. I am doing better every day -- although still not 100%. I'm not sure when I will feel ALL better... but that's going to be a great day. I had to cancel my first half marathon that's in a few weeks since I won't be able to run it. (Hopefully the rest of my racing schedule won't be affected.) I have felt so much love and support while being sick, I am blessed to have awesome friends and siblings and a loving mother who help me. It's so nice to be feeling better. And it was great to be able to do some fun things with my mom before she left. She is coming for my birthday, so I get to see her again soon. Is it too soon to count down again? ;)Amberhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13012115184805122585noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26277716.post-84442374995775869452013-08-19T19:24:00.004-06:002013-08-19T19:24:28.698-06:00pool!!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We went to the pool with some friends on Friday. It was our last outing before death took over my body. I think I went to Urgent Care 4 hours after we got home to find out I had pneumonia. The pool was actually the best I had felt all week! The worst obviously came after :) </div>

Last week I colored my hair. See that little bit on my ends? There are a couple of sections on both sides that are now blonde underneath. Doesn't look like a big deal, but kind of was for me since I never change my hair color</div>

Dave has always begged me to put some pink in the girl's hair. I FINALLY did. It's temporary- so it comes right out when I wash their hair. But they both loved it (Daddy too)<br />

See these DARLING neon yellow shoes that were calling Veda's name?!! I didn't buy them. I wanted to SO bad. But I resisted the urge. They were even on sale... and it is tax free weekend. But, I am holding strong to my challenge of not buying my kiddos clothes. (or shoes) :)</div>

In July a few friends and I did a squat challenge. It was awesome. Every day we had to build up more and more squats and by the end of the month we did 250 in one day. To celebrate our success and firm bottoms we went out for dinner. Only 3 of us were there to celebrate-- but we had such a fun time! Me and Allisa (The one with the crazy thumbs) even went to a movie after. I know I know... I'm wild and crazy going to a movie at 10 pm!<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Every day this week when Dave leaves it goes like this:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We all give a hug and kiss and say bye. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
He walks out of the door.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Veda screams and runs to the door until she is let out.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Dave gets one more hug and kiss from Veda.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And more byes and waves.</div>

And I try and make lunch exciting (my kids do NOT like sandwiches. So when I'm out of ideas and leftovers, I make sandwiches anyway but try and make them fun). On this day, Veda ate one of the strawberry eyes off then says "It's a pirate!"<br />

Some of our friends had some free passes for Six Flags. So Dave took the day off and we headed to San Antonio for the day!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
10 minutes before we got there Veda threw up. A LOT. Super gross. A lot of our friends have been sick, so of course I was worried that she was sick. But after getting out of the car and changing clothes she perked right up, gobbled down some lunch and had a great day.</div>
