All work and no play makes Kellie a dull girl

So I've been back to work full time for just over 2 weeks now and I can honestly say it wears me out. When you work 8 hours and then come home to a toddler it's a lot of work! I had it so easy before!

I'm liking my new job so far but honestly haven't gotten into it much yet. The training is intensive and long for my position so I'm just starting to dip my toes in the water. I think once I know what the hell I'm doing I'll really like it!

We took Charlie to her 1st baseball game to cheer on the Twins and she had a lot of fun. I don't think she even noticed the baseball players out on the field though! She was more interested in the people in the seats behind us, beside us, below us, everywhere! Regardless it was a good time and the weather couldn't have been better!

I'll leave you with some pics from that day!

Cheers!

Are you ready for some football?

God, she makes me smile.  :)

I have a love/hate relationship with football.  I love the sport, I hate that it means winter will be here in no time flat.  That being said, right now I'm loving it b/c the weather is still beautiful and I love catching the Cyclones on Saturday and the NFL teams on Sunday! 

Last weekend the Cyclones beat the Hawks away from home!  This was incredible!  The game was great (although both teams played sloppy)!  Here's a pic of Charlie in her ISU gear.  Cutest little Cyclone ever!
Go ISU!!!

Charlie got her first black eye at daycare last week.  When I went to pick her up it was just a goose egg on her brow bone and it's now completely black, blue and green.  Pretty nasty looking!  They said she was walking and just tripped over her own two feet!  I find that very easy to believe b/c honestly I'm surprised this is her first black eye w/ how often she falls and what a klutz she is.  What can I say?  She takes after me in the gracefulness category (or lack thereof).  Ha!

I started my new job last Wednesday and although I think I'm going to really like it once I get trained and comfortable with it I'm not liking my commute home.  It means less time with Charlie which makes me sad.  The evenings fly by when I don't even get home until almost 6 and Charlie goes to bed around 8-8:30.  I guess I can just say I've been spoiled.  At my old job I had a 5 minute commute.  It was literally 1 mile from our house.  I could have walked/rode my bike there (but never did b/c I'm a lazy terd).  So the 45 min drive home from my new job is killing me.  I'll get over it but I just wanted to complain about it.  :)

Nothing much else to report.  We've been having fun like normal.  We took Charlie on her first golf game.  She loved the cart and running around on the greens! 

We also hit up a block party on Sunday and Charlie had an absolute BLAST dancing to the bands.  She even had a little fan club who cheered her on and kept telling me how adorable she was.  As a mom, I'll listen to people tell me how cute they think my daughter is anytime b/c I agree!  :)

Happy Monday!  We're one day closer to the weekend!

Cheers!
