Nerd in a Lab Coat

After reading Amanda's post about her day I was a little inspirred. So.....this is a typical day in the life of Megan.
Wake up at 5:10am, get ready for work.
Wake Shelby up at 6:00am, time to get ready for school. (Brandon's most likely already up.)
6:15am...we have a visitor. T-Th Shelby's best friend comes over and I drop them off at school together.
Make breakfast, lunches...most likely yell to the kids to eat a little faster because we need to leave.
Comb Shelby's hair, yell to get your "coats and shoes."
6:40am out the door and into the car
6:45am drop Shelby and her friend off
Really wanting Starbucks by now, but I'm trying to be good.
7:00am drop off Brandon at preschool
Hit the freeway and hope there's not a lot of traffic.
7:30am made it to work...I feel like I need a break already.
Now it's time to check e-mail and then off to the lab. Yep, I'm a nerd in a lab coat. Ha

Okay, enough of that.
I could be doing any number of things on any given day. Today I just finished screening my first two Serology cases. (Testing for semen, saliva, and looking at a number of microscopic slides...the slides are the part I like the least.) I could also be working on DNA training, watching other analysts, writing validation material, reading new literature, and other laboratory business. Most days I have plenty to keep me busy.

Ready to head home at 4:00pm...home by about 4:30pm-4:45pm, darn traffic.
Cook dinner, eat dinner, kids shower (John does this, yeah for him), treadmill, my shower, brush kids teeth, 7:00 pm goodnight to kids. Whew ...time to relax.
If it's Monday throw in Swim Lessons and on Thursday Gynmnastics. We just rearrange when we have dinner.

Well I hope you enjoyed my day, after putting it all on paper it makes me tired, no wonder I look so forward to Saturday. I usually get to sleep in until 5:45 on that day. :)

Easter

So, as promised here are some pictures from Easter. I love Easter, it's such a no pressure holiday, we usually get to be outside, and the kids really enjoy the day.

Here is Shelby's basket. Brandon's Basket

I love this picture. He grabbed his Lion off of his basket and just started loving him. My little boy is such a sweetie. I hope he's always that way.

This girl is a serious egg hunter. She almost collected all the eggs before I could snap a picture. Next year I suggest the Easter Bunny be a little trickier.

Yeah, Brandon found some.

Showing off their finds. Camouflage eggs can be a little tricky in the grass. Haaaaaaaaaa

Love my sweet precious girl.

We had a great day, although shortly after the egg hunt is began poring. Hopefully next year we'll have our sunshine back.

It's been a while...again, but here are some fun photos.

Fun at the beach. Me and my sweet little girl.

Why is Brandon not smiling....well, he remembered I said I like his grumpy face. Oh, please.

Love this little princess. She getting so pretty, but I am biased.

Yes, we are into everything Star Wars and legos. He's so much fun to be with.

That's all for now. I will post some more from vacation and Easter hopefully soon, but please don't hold your breath, I don't want anyone passing out.
