Work has been absolutely crazy and stressful for me the last 3 months due to changes in policy for the new year. There are days that I love and days that I can barely handle the stress of supervising and having so much responsibility but overall it has been my favorite job and I really do love it. I had some overtime approved for working with help from about 15 techs and a pharmacist on duty. We set a few records and got caught up on tons of work we've been trying to manage for weeks. The shift was scheduled to end around 5:00 pm when my boss (one of the co-owners) called me and congratulated me on the great success of the work day. He then offered me club seat tickets for Sheehan and I to go to that night at the Rio Tinto stadium team soccer Real game!
It was awesome! Of course I was ecstatic (even though I don't know much about soccer) I love watching sports games in person no matter the sport.
The crowd and adrenaline are so much fun. We had nice cushion seats and all you can eat concessions. We enjoyed the hot dogs, pretzels, hamburgers, soda, etc...We were sitting just a few rows behind both the teams so we could see the players faces perfectly.
The crowd was so energetic and crazy. 
They had drums, smoke, flags, confetti, masks, chants. It was a lot of fun and for never experiencing a soccer game in person I'd say it couldn't get better than that for a first experience.
Sheehan and I had our 3rd anniversary this last week on 3/21/2012. I had to work and we thought about going to do something but being this far along pregnant I am so tired! So we were once again old home bodies and just stayed home and lounged around. I like days like that better sometimes.....
He sent me some beautiful flowers at work that were too big for my desk and covered my screens. They are a beautiful arrangement.
All the ladies in the office loved them and it made me feel really special to get such pretty flowers just for me.
I got Sheehan a Donald Trump tie because we always have to stop when we shop to check out the Donald Trump ties. We also just bought him three suits so I thought a tie would be nice to add to the new collection. It was a tough choice of which tie to choose but I got the purple one since he hadn't had a purple tie yet and it is my favorite color so he could think of me.
Last Friday Mandy, one of the other supervisors, threw me a surprise baby shower at work. Mandy had put it all together with the plan and sign-ups for the food and decor. She came by my desk and said there were sandwiches in the break room. I was all over it being hungry by about 11:30. I didn't think much of it because we get food from distributors and companies we do business with often so I was asking Mandy what is was and who gave it to us this time. They usually let us as managers know first that there is food or goods available for the taking before they open it to everyone so I laughed when I saw the light had been turned off in the break room like as if they were trying to hide the good food. Little did I know when they turned on the light that I would see all kinds of blue tablecloths and streamers and a wide variety of food and drinks that everyone had contributed. I said after a confused couple of seconds, "Is this for me?!" I couldn't believe they had all got together for me and had given me so many gifts. All the techs and other co-workers are so sweet! There were people from the pharmacy, HR, and DME departments all there supporting me. I don't remember ever being surprised before and for them to all take that time for me made me feel really good.
These are all of the gifts people gave me from work. I couldn't believe how nice everyone had been. Even one girl who we had just hired the week before gave me $10 bucks in a card. Everyone was watching me open gifts and I said, "You didn't have to get me anything! You've only worked here a couple of days! You are so sweet!" then I turned to Mandy and said, "We should have hired more people if I had know we were having this!" :)
I am waiting to get the other pictures from work I had a tech take on their iPhone since I wasn't prepared with a camera. I'll post those pictures as soon as I get them.
It's been a great week and now I am 36 weeks along.
Time is flying by and life is great!
