Peeks and Valleys

I know, I spelled "Peeks" the way I wanted. I want to start blogging more often so now I'm going to try and do a weekly blog with a peek into my family and work life and, to suffice my ranting tendencies, some valleys that I experience.

∴PEEKS∴
We've started our seedlings! We have tiny little plant buds awaiting our transplant. It's still about 3-4 weeks from our "last frost" date so it they will have a lot of time to become good, solid plants! The Prince is so excited each day when he sees the little green buds popping out of the dirt. He was instrumental in helping with the planting process. By "instrumental" I mean, he basically shuffled the dirt from the bag to the table and a little bit of it landed in the pots!
The SweetPea is growing like crazy! She can stand if you hold her, she rolls from front to back and back to front, AND she smiles, coos, and babbles as much as she can. I love her so much, it's silly to think that I once wasn't sure how she would fit into our family. She also had her first taste of solid foods about a week ago! Note to mom: I do not like rice cereal!
It's Administrative Professionals Day today. I received numerous thank yous, a beautiful fragrant bouquet of flowers, and a few cards! It's nice to know that I'm appreciated.

The Husband is off again this evening and I feel like a single mother lately! He goes to class until 9 p.m. two nights a week and he's now off on another school related "project". I just hope he makes some good contacts as his graduation date looms with not a lot of job prospects!
It's Administrative Professionals Day today. I don't particularly like the idea that all my co-workers think of me as an "admin". I personally think that this day should be renamed to "Employee Appreciation Day" it would be all encompassing and it wouldn't insult people that don't view themselves as a secretary. 'Cause let's face it, an Administrative Assistant is really just the new name for secretary.

It must be a good week so far...I have more peaks than valleys!

I am in your boat - I am an "Executive Assistant" and by that I mean jack of all trades. I didn't get anything today, but worst of all, I forgot to say thank you to our receptionist. From one {admin} to another...Happy Administrative Professionals Day!
