Earning Sweets, Extra Money, and 7 Leis

Where to start off about today. 
Today I woke up at 6am and started cooking for our fathers day breakfast since my parents are going out of town tomorrow.  All the kids went over to their place to eat and spend time with each other.  We also got to see the birthday boy!!! Orry turned 2 today.  I cannot believe how big he is getting and how he never stops growing.  Next week is his birthday party. 

I went to work after spending the morning with my family.  My feet are killing me.  So pushing getting CAs they started a thing on Thursday that we would earn a lei for every 2 credits and get out name into a drawing and today our manager made it 1 for every 1.  So I slowly started earning my leis and my treats too.  Every CA we got to pick a number and get a treat as well.  (Really this manager is an amazing guy.  He really does care about us employees and does his best to motivate us and get us going.  Today was also his birthday and he was spending it at work.) So I got 7 CAs today.  So I got 7 leis, 7 treats, 7 entries into the drawing, and at $2 an app I earned $14 extra today.  Working a 7 hour shift I gave myself a $2 an hour raise.  When I left I had the most CAs of the day.  That does not happen very often but when it does I feel pretty proud of myself to have done something the managers can look at and be wow good job Erin...even though I still really never get recognized for putting my everything into what I do. 

I bought Andy a fathers day gift and I also had to by myself a fake cheep ring since my fingers have swollen too much my engagment ring and wedding band were starting to cut my finger.  Andy does not understand why I cannot wear it right now.  He is upset that I got a new ring to wear until I can fit the other ones back on after Aurora gets here.

So I get home to find out our AC is now not working.  So I am dying of heat.  The temp in the apartment just keeps going up.  We can turn the thing on and you can hear it running but nothing is blowing from the vents. 

On my last note of the night.  I finally have tried a new name to run past Andy.  I still really want Aurora Christina because well why does he get to name 2 kids fully and I do not even get to name my first daughters full name.  It just really is not fair.  So I tired a new name Aurora Sophia.  I thought it was cute and Andy did not like it.  So I will go back to fighting Aurora Christina.  I think he just will not be happy with a name unless it was a name that he comes up with.   I will not give in. 



I am grateful for
A cute nephew who just keeps growing
Family time
Good food
The little girl who was shopping with the name Sophia that gave me the idea to use the name for my daughter
Coworkers who look out for me and notice when I am having a moment that I really need to sit down and make sure I am taking care of myself because I will keep pushing myself otherwise.
