Bad news, the cats are going to have to get used to having noone home again during the day. Good news Jagr got his promotion and will be working 7am to 3pm Mon - Fri! Not sure how we will cope with us both being on the same schedule! But yay! I'm so proud of him, barely a year at this current job and he's moved up to assistant chief that's some achievement. I understand that he will have more responsibility and therefore if things go wrong I expect him sometimes to have to run off in the middle of the night. But if it at least can give us a full weekend once a month I'll be happy. Not sure when he will get on the new schedule but it's all good news. I just hope the cats can cope to not having someone in bed for 16 hours a day (giggles). Josie will be fine but Lani well she is a little be of an attention freak, more so for me than him but she likes to have her people around.
/Does a little dance of joy. Oh it's a tiny bit more money not really enough to make a huge difference as he looses the shift differential but we aren't going to complain about that.

Old toys, New Toys
So couple of weeks ago it was my niece's birthday. And my parent's got out my sister and I's old 
dolls and toys for her that we used to play with when we were kids. Mind you our Mum and Dad were wondering who was more excited and fascinated my sister or my niece. I will confess tho seeing the pictures does bring back memories. And I might add reminds me we avoided Barbie like the plague back then it was all about Sindy! Then again Barbie clothes would most likely fit these dolls anyway. Worst case we could probably buy her a Barbie a lot of the other stuff that we had would work with the horses and things that we had.
Ah fond memories...I just had to share.
Oh and boy is my little niece growing up fast! She impressed me last weekend by asking where the kitty was, and even called her by her name Josie! We don't talk that often but I was amazed she remembered our cat's name and obviously associates us with the cat. Soooo sweet, course I should probably make the most of it now while she is still interested give her a few more years and I'm sure she will be more interested in boys (watch out Lil' Sis that's going to be fun).

A Quiet Day...
So the router was down in our main office, meaning that we had no web page, and no email...I think 90% of my job is now through email making it a quiet morning.
Jagr isn't feeling well and may not work tonight. Not looking good for the job tho looks like they are going to post elsewhere I guess they didn't like any of the applications. I think they just wish they had told them that a week ago, so I guess he will be on the graveyard for awhile longer. Not the end of the world but would have been nice. Then again we just have to be happy sometimes we have decent paying jobs and quality time together, and we still have some vacation days to look forward to together. I'm just happy being with him so I'm not going to complain.
Had a great night's sleep last night so actually feel awake today. Will try again for an early night tonight but with him sick I'm sure I'm going to be just sitting around being quiet again which means I'll be asleep early I'm sure.

Sorry:(
Been a long while since my last blog sorry...work got crazy the last week or so. Then well last weekend we managed a night away and they we had a party, and then we had another evening with a friend, and /sigh I've been real tired this week trying to catch up.
Was relieved today when finally a large order at work sorted itself out. I was half afraid I was going to be blamed for loosing it when really I didn't do anything to cause that. I'm still wondering how I ended up in the middle of that mess when I was trying to get the audit resolved and licensing...next thing I knew I was being slammed by people wanting to know where things were that were shipped. Ah well such is life.
Jagr is currently still waiting to hear if anyone's got the promotion at work. We are still both hoping he will get it as it will mean him finally having something akin to normal work hours, not to mention it will be the first time ever that hours will pretty much match. Yep folks this promotion would mean getting Saturday and Sundays off! Course with the promotion would be more responsibility so if things go wrong he would be running back to work, but how bad can that really be? Ah well the possibility is still there until they make the announcement.
