being thankful

since september/october, i've been waiting to find out what my future with the company that bought us out. they promised us that they would tell us by december 1st. well, i found out yesterday that i would be in the "transition bucket." that means i would stay to help them with the transition/support work during the merge. my last day will be june 26, 2009. my incentive to stay is double pay plus 2009 bonus (prorated). on top of that, i get my 16 weeks of severance. so i must say i was really happy with the package. however, on a sad note, some of my co-workers were not as fortunate and got the 60-days notice. our happy family is broken. =(

so this thanksgiving, i am thankful for caring managers looking after me, great, fun co-workers, and of course, jayant and joel, who i can count on to make me laugh and smile at work. so thank you!!!

happy thanksgiving to everyone and remember the real things you should be thankful for!!!

potty training surprise

i wasn't planning to start potty training kyle until he was 2. i wasn't even planning to be serious about it; was just planning to introduce him to the toilet at 2. well, the past couple of days has been surprising. he told g several times yesterday that he wanted to shee-shee (peeing in japanese) and he would actually go! before he would just stand over the toilet and not go at all. my mom told me he actually went to the potty all by himself today and he actually shee-shee'd in the toilet before his bath. progress!

...i am sure this is going to back fire and kyle will be one of those kids who will refuse to do #2 in the toilet until he is 4 or 5! anyways, i probably won't enforce potty training like i did with aaron. i'll just cheer him on!

time to eat!

i finally got to enjoy a nice peaceful dinner with g tonight! big thanks to ms. jessica, aaron's favorite teacher at creator's corner (pre-school) for babysitting!! the chilean sea bass at opah was awesome and i got to enjoy an adult conversation with my hubby!

i am going to be spoiled again tomorrow with a brunch at mimi's cafe for michelle's baby shower! no kids!! whoohoo! sunday will probably be payback time when we go to disneyland... =(

anyways, have a good weekend everyone!
