Windy, but beautiful weekend

This weekend has been so great. The temp has been in the high 70's. Yesterday our friends Cari and Jeff got married at The Lake St. Louis park. Talk about pretty. Tess sang a song by Lifehouse, they let doves go, all in all it was so romantic and beautiful. After the wedding we took some pictures of Greyson taking advantage of the pretty scenery. He never smiles for pictures though, NEVER...haha. My friends daughter Elsie is about 8 months older than Greyson and she was in love I think, LOL. She was bossing him around, trying to dance with him, so hilarious to watch.
Today we are going to BBQ some chicken and have corn on the cob with it. Carlos and Greyson have been outside and this time Carlos has been taking the pictures of Greyson. He must be taking after his wife, I can't remember her name.
I really should be outside trying to get some son on these starch white legs. I know I would just burn, so I will just get over that idea. Hope everyone had a great weekend!

My 2nd Mothers Day because of this lil man

New Office Policy

EFFECTIVE May 1, 2008

NEW OFFICE POLICY

Dress Code:

1) You are advised to come to work dressed according to your salary.

2) If we see you wearing Prada shoes and carrying a Gucci bag, we will assume you are doing well financially and therefore do not need a raise.

3) If you dress poorly, you need to learn to manage your money better, so that you may buy nicer clothes, and therefore you do not need a raise.

4) If you dress just right, you are right where you need to be and therefore you do not need a raise.


Sick Days:
We will no longer accept a doctor's statement as proof of sickness. If you are able to go to the doctor, you are able to come to work.

Personal Days:
Each employee will receive 104 personal days a year. They are called Saturdays & Sundays.

Bereavement Leave:
This is no excuse for missing work. There is nothing you can do for dead friends, relatives or co-workers. Every effort should be made to have non-employees attend the funeral arrangements in your place. In rare cases where employee involvement is necessary, the funeral should be scheduled in the late afternoon. We will be glad to allow you to work through your lunch hour and subsequently leave one hour early.


Bathroom Breaks:
Entirely too much time is being spent in the toilet. There is now a strict three-minute time limit in the stalls. At the end of three minutes, an alarm will sound, the toilet paper roll will retract, the stall door will open, and a picture will be taken. After your second offense, your picture will be posted on the company bulletin board under the 'Chronic Offenders' category. Anyone caught smiling in the picture will be sectioned under the company's mental health policy.


Lunch Break: (Love this one)

* Skinny people get 30 minutes for lunch, as they need to eat more, so that they can look healthy.

* Normal size people get 15 minutes for lunch to get a balanced meal to maintain their average figure.

* Chubby people get 5 minutes for lunch, because that's all the time needed to drink a Slim-Fast.


Thank you for your loyalty to our company. We are here to provide a positive employment experience. Therefore, all questions, comments, concerns, complaints, frustrations, irritations, aggravations, insinuations, allegations, accusations, contemplations, consternation and input should be directed elsewhere.


The Management

Do not leave a 20 month old alone eating dinner

Especially not Greyson and with spaghetti! This is what I found when I went back in the kitchen...I laughed so hard...

Another great weekend

It started off on Saturday, Greyson and I went to Aunt Cher's house to visit. Greyson had a blast over there playing with Landon and Logans (Cher's grand kids)toys. He played on the trampoline and in their clubhouse outside. He didn't know what to do with himself.




Then today, Carlos went to church with me! I was so excited. I asked him if there was ANYTHING he didn't like or didn't feel comfortable with and he said he loved it all. YAY!

After church we had family time again! It is so nice to spend time with them. I am praying that he will continue to want to go to church. On Mothers Day I will be singing at church! I am excited about that too. I haven't sang at this church so hopefully it will go well.

Hope you had an excellent weekend and have a wonderful week!

We had an earthquake and I missed it?

5:00 this morning Carlos came in the bedroom and said, "Alicia, we just had an earthquake. " You know I thought I was dreaming. So he's says it again and I said, "Shut up Carlos, why are you waking me up at 5am?" He was serious! Last night he fell asleep on the couch and I left him there...a free night from Carlos' snoring, he was just fine on that couch. He was wakened by the earthquake. He said that the pictures on the walls were shaking! Everything is fine, thank God. I really think God kept me sleeping because he knows I would've died from an anxiety attack! LOL.

Here is the report on it from Fox 2 news

What have I gotten myself into?

I'm not sure I even want to start this yet, but I think it just might be time to. We bought Greyson his very own potty. He is so excited about it. I just know this is going to take a while. He knows when he's gone poo poo but he's not quite ready to put the poo poo in the potty, LOL. Wish us luck! Oh yeah...like the cell phone? Haha

A few more pictures

Lovin some bubbles

A really awesome day..

Today I sang at the 2 Rivers Womens Retreat at the Embassy Suites in St. Louis. I was so nervous until I remembered it wasn't about me, it was about God. It turned out really good and the retreat was very inspirational! I will definitely attend next years. Now my friend is trying to talk me into joining the worship team at church...hmmmmm..I just may....still thinking about it.

After that was over we had some family time at home. It was really nice. We laughed and played and it just felt so good. Here are some pictures I took. Hope the rest of your weekend is awesome!
