Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday dear Jaaaane! Happy birthday to you!
Hope you're day is full of awesome!
So much has gone down since our last update.
I've been offered a new position with the company I work for. I will still be doing overnight shifts but I will have every other weekend off. Which will be nice for the family, getting to spend time with our family. I'm working on helping to bring the house back to life, they have recently had a huge staff turn over and need help getting organized. Should be fun!
Chris has been picked up by an Ottawa contracting company as a sub team. He has been doing the odd job here and there with this company and so far he seems to like the work they are asking him to do and it fits his schedule. So far so good!
As I mentioned last time, Cadence was in daycare. Well, the lady who was watching her felt overwhelmed with Cadence's crying all the time and asked us not to bring her back. Apparently the way to cure social anxiety is to give her more alone time at home. So I've been taking her to playgroup in Ottawa, where she is crawling all over and trying to climb the other parents. We also found her another daycare to try out, we start tomorrow with a slow and steady integration. This woman has been running her daycare for over 5 years so I am hopeful this will go well.
We recently "celebrated" our first family Valentine's day. It was very nice, I took Cadence to Ikea to poke around before playgroup. We had lunch and she ate like a champ. Then we went to playgroup, Cadence made a cute little valentine for Chris (well, I made it, but I used her feet). Then I made dinner and cupcakes for us. All in all it was a nice day spent with my little monkey and then a nice night with our family.
Anywho, its been a long weekend, I am super tired and tomorrow is Cadence's 1st day at her new daycare so we have to be up to get her ready. Fingers crossed for a successful day!

Ch-ch-ch-changes!
So much going on this week! I'm back to work, Cadence started daycare and Chris is almost done his job out in the middle of nowhere.
For the last week and a bit Chris has been working an hour away, dry walling a basement in Embrun. The people are pretty nice and the job fit into Chris's availability so it seemed like a good idea. The only draw back is how long it takes to get to work and then home again, both ways in traffic. But he wraps up either tomorrow or Monday, so not too much more travelling!
I've been doing orientation at a place I'm hoping will pick me up. It would be as a professional house cleaner. Not exactly what I was trying to do with my life but its the right hours, pay and we can use the money for our wedding next year. The owners are really nice, the job seems right up my alley so fingers crossed they bring me aboard.
Cadence has started daycare this week. She went a full day on Wednesday and it was heaven for me. She had a good time and I got to just do a bunch of nothing. I got very little done and I'm ok with that. Today she went again, and was supposed to go all day, but I got a message from our provider saying she was having a really hard time, non stop crying and very clingy so I picked her up. Neither Chris or I have any idea how to manage this, we both work all day week days and on days I'm not working during the day I work overnight and sleep during the day. So for now its going to be a game of waiting it out. Hopefully she adapts quickly, I can't imagine this is easy for our daycare lady or her other kids, plus our own kid, as well as our sanity. Ugh.
I updated our other blog, Questions From Cadence. I think it will get updated every Thursday night before I go to work. So check it out if you're interested! For now, I am going to grab a quick nap and then head to work. Have a great weekend everyone!
