Well this is all quite new to me. I have never been able to keep up a journal for more than a couple of days, but I do love the computer so hopefully this blog thing will be easier for me.
Hmm...where to start. I am a 25 year old single mother of a beautiful and very busy toddler named Kai. There is never a dull moment when he is around. It is amazing how much he has changed in the past couple of months. He is just turning into such a little boy, not my little baby anymore. The thing that shocked me the most was when his sitter told me yesterday that she had not been giving him a bottle at nap time for the entire month that he was there. I swore that he would be going to bed with a bottle until he was 5. He LOVES that thing! He actually just started at a new daycare today and it is going to be great. I went in there before work today to drop some things off and he was sleeping on a mat (he has only ever slept in a crib or playpen) in the room with 10 other little toddlers. How they manage to get 10 children under the age of 2 to nap in one room together, let alone without cribs, playpens, bottles, soothers etc, is beyond me! KUDOS TO CHILDCARE PROVIDERS!
In my other life (aka my job) I am an Estetician at the best spa in the city. I really love my job (most of the time) and the people I work with and for. It is almost like we are one big family. I took my esthetics course right after I finished highschool (many moons ago) and then moved to Red Deer and worked in a spa there. When I moved back to Regina I decided to take a break from Esthetics and pursue other things. I only just got back into it when I finished my maternity leave in April. I started at an absolutely INSANE time. I could not believe how busy it was. I basically did pedicures all day every for about 5 months. I really do not mind doing them, but now that it has slowed down quite a bit I am finally starting to get trained in all of the other things that the spa offers. I am techinically trained and certified to perform all esthetics services, but because each place uses different products and has their own protocols etc. I have learn how they do it. So by the end of this month I should be able to do most of the services and hopefully start making some more moolah! LOL
Well I think that's enough for my first entry. I have to save some babbling for future posts! I will add a couple pictures (if I can figure out how). Good Night!
