First Days

Today was my first day at my new job at BCBSF!!!! I was so excited to go this morning, even though I knew it was going to be super boring. When I got there I got my pic taken twice, once for my temporary badge and then a second time for my REAL badge that I got later today! I still don't like the pic on my REAL badge but Doug says it looks okay. After that we waited for like 15-20 minutes for our instructors to get there so we could get started with our orientation. It was okay and we filled out a butt-load of paperwork and went over benefits and had breakfast and what not. Then we went to lunch and the cafeteria there is sooooo awesome! They have all kinds of foods and they gave us $7 in free lunch money to spend on our lunch! After lunch we played a game where we had to find objects in the room and in our belongings that started with every letter of the alphabet and we WON!!! All the ladies on my team and I won a BCBSF lunchbox! I came home with sooo much stuff: a BCBSF tote bag, a BCBSF notebook, a BCBSF sunvisor, 2 BCBSF pens, a BCBSF lunch and some other stuffs. Do you get the trend, every single thing that they have in the entire building has BCBSF on it somewhere, even the gum they had for us said BCBSF lol. After the game we met our trainer for the week. He's pretty cool, a little spacey and his name is Howie. He told us never call him, "Sir" he doesn't care if we're from the south and that we were raised to call anybody and everybody either sir or ma'am. It's just common Southern courtesy and I will probably slip up and call him Sir but he'll have to get over it lol. We were supposed to be there until 4:30pm but I guess they got done with everything we were supposed to do and we ended up leaving by about 2:30pm and I was home by 3:00pm!!! 

Today was also Ethan's first day at his new daycare! I really love this lady! She is so nice and sweet and her house is an awesome place for kids! www.kingskids.biz is her website if ya wanna check it out! Ethan is going to have to get used to it though because while he was there he only took like a 30 minute nap when he's used to taking a 2 hour nap everyday. One problem I think is because she has the kids that 1 or older sleep on mats on the floor rather than in a pack-n-play or crib like he is used to sleeping in, so he has a lot more freedom to move around and get off it. I'm sure it won't take too long and he'll be used to it though. He loved his lunch, but I think his snack messed him up. He had oranges and raisins and tonight when we got home he puked everything he ate for dinner and all his snack came back up twice...once in his highchair and once alllllll oooooover MAMAMAMAMAMA! Ethan and I had to run to the bathroom and get in the tub. It was sooooo gross and I almost lost it and puked too but I held it in while Doug helped me get everything cleaned up. 

Oh and we got our taxes done today...I can't believe the freaking government almost punishes us for being married we got back like almost $1700 more last year before we got married than we did this year since we've been married. It seriously sucks but I guess something is better than nothing and we're getting back like $2400 so it will actually help out a lot!! P.S. 14 month olds do not do good at Jackson Hewitt waiting to get your taxes done. It's just not fun. lol

Welps, I'm tired and ready to go to bed so I can be nice and refreshed for my first day of training! Doug and I will now be carpooling to work so we are going to save moolah on gas!!! YAY for saving money!
