It's kind of cool. It's alright if you're jealous.
So, last night as I was trying to go to bed (ridiculously early, I might add), baby girl started doing somersaults in my tummy. I could feel each tiny move as if she was performing a circus act. I put my hand on my tum tum and…
«Boom»
I could feel her movement from outside my body. It was crazy. And wonderful. And I’m kind of worried that she’s a gymnast. We can’t afford a lifetime of training and risk her coach slipping her steroids right before the Olympics. I hope it’s just a hobby, not a career choice.
“The most expensive car in the world, dressed up like a mouse. And as you can hear, the mouse’s theme song is the original master recording of the Rolling Stones classic, ‘Satisfaction.’ …Is it crazy expensive to play on the air? Hell yes! …Total pricetag for this comedy bit - 1.5 million dollars! Sorry, NBC!”
You keep fucking NBC up the ass, Conan O’Brien. I am with you 100%. I will even provide lube.
Not lust. Love.
Haha!
So I'm official.
My temporary employment is nearing the end, and I accepted the offer for full-time Technical Director at the station. For those that don’t know, I’ll be in front of the video switcher pushing buttons and making the top-rated newscasts go across Kansas’ airwaves. On the weekends I’ll be fulfilling both the positions of Technical Director and Director. Which means reading the scripts, calling the shots, and pushing the buttons all at the same time. It gets pretty intense. A lot to keep track of at once.
A big plus is that I get to be paid to watch a lot of CBS programming, which I dig, including CBS Sports (quite frankly I HATE NBC Sports shows the most… anyways..).
My schedule is a bit wonky. I’ll be working nights, about 2-ish to 11-ish depending on which day, Wednesday thru Sunday. I get Mondays and Tuesdays off.
The best part of the deal is I finally have a time with paid vacation for the first time since I worked at Starbucks when I was like 20. Hey, 20 was forever ago!
I’m not gonna strike it rich doing this. Wife will always make more money than me, I bet. And I’m fine with that. We’re a great team. And I think this is the best situation we can be in for the new addition to the family. Hey, only 3 half-days of daycare needed. I love saving moolah.
But through all of this, my primary goal is to be happy for the next 5 or so years, supporting my family and living for God. Right now I feel this is that best possible situation to be in. And that, my friends, is worth more than anything in the world.
Reblogging because my husband is amazing and this post made me tear up a bit. I’m really excited for his new opportunity. We’ve lived together through some shitty jobs, I have to say. His last being by far the worst, not because of what he was doing, but because of who he was doing it for, quite honestly. And the fact that he finally gets recognized for his hardwork by being handed benefits (from a legit HR department) is pretty rad. And the fact that he gets to do all this while still being able to spend a ton of time with our daughter is even more rad.
I love our little life. It’s filled with huge blessings.
Baby = healthy
Baby Mama = tired
Weight Gain = nothing to worry about (thank goodness. Lord knows I’ve put on more than the recommended amount)
Baby Room = Oh gosh. We’ve got some work to do.
Baby Girl Rawson is swimming, kicking and punching. And she’s almost halfway cooked. We’ll call her medium-rare at this point. I’d prefer her to be well-done. So let’s hope the next 20 or so weeks go as planned.
Not thrilled in the least. This is, of course, before wind chill.
Seriously - can I call in cold to work tomorrow?
Happy New Year!
2009 was really great for the Rawson family. And I know 2010 will be a wonderful journey as well. Can’t wait!
As everyone is planning their resolutions, I sit here not sure if I can really resolve to do much of anything. The next year is going to be completely new for me. I’m stumbling into the unknown. I guess I resolve to be a good wife, mother, sister, daughter and Christian. I want to continue to let go of the little stuff and give God control of the big stuff. That’s really what matters to me these days.
Hope you have brushed off the bad vibes of 2009 while keeping the lessons and blessings close to your heart. 2010 will be surely give you more lessons and blessings to add to the pile!
Happy New Year to you and yours!

I think we’ll name her Finger Guns Rawson. Coolest baby ever.Yep. I totally had a part in this…
Day 1 of Vacation is a Success!
So I decided to take a couple days off this week. So far today I have done the following: woke up early, drank a lot of water, found out we are having a baby girl who loves sporting finger guns, ate a massive amount of Abuelo’s, took an epic nap, and researched baby names.
Pretty good day!
