Holiday blog!

As I sat quietly reading my car and driver magazine, I  realized that I'm wearing scrubs that had "granted" me at one time a holiday at work.  Could it happen again? I asked myself. It is after all Mother's Day and it would be nice to spend it w/ my wife and 7 month old baby.  However, its already 535am and the inevitability of not working is slipping by.
    And then, a faint ring was heard.  As it was getting louder, I asked myself  "Could it be?"  It is! It is the "unknown caller" ringtone that I hear!  And so I hurried to answer my phone from the dining table, pants down to my ankles, being careful not to slip on the wood floor. It reminded me of how penguins ran!  I slide the phone out from its case and answer it. I see 415 668 ....- a number associated w/ SMMC! I felt a surge of excitement as I knew what this call meant!
    “Hello Ron? Its Cindy, staffing” “Oh hey, Cindy!”  I answer back, noting the echo as I answered from the dimly lit room where I shat.
     "Hold on, let me see if I can really give you a holiday” she says and puts me on hold.  Body tingling with both excitement and fear, I held on thinking how mean it would be if she would not give me a holiday.
    Roughly 30 seconds later I hear her voice pick up again- “Maricel can be charge right?“ “Oh yeah of course!” I answer back. “OK, I‘ll give you a holiday”.
    Grinning like a prison parolee I rejoice and said  “Thanks Cindy!”  Happy Mother’s Day to all moms! 

Thursday Morning w/ Nina

Busted out my Canon T1i and took these shots this morning.  Typical day.  Wake up, cry, change diaper, lesson/exercise time, cry, feed, sleep, repeat.  Tiring? Yes, but definitely worth it when she interacts, responds w/ her cooing, kicking, smiling...Yep, the joys of parenthood I believe its called.  Hopefully, not so much in the wee hours in the morning!  Hey, this is my first photo blog!
