Work update...

Okay, let's see. I have a interview Wednesday with Sears Essentials and another temp agency. I called in to one place today and followed up on the bookstore, I also called in at a daycare. I put in, (I think) three resumes and found out that I have awesome typing skills! It's too bad that four years online playing in groups and with blogs don't count as a job skill!!

Tomorrow is Morgan's dentist appointment so I think I'm just gonna hang out with him tomorrow and then do the interviews Wednesday and maybe hit Target and Publix if nothing looks promising on Thursday.

Our trip to see Bri went well. She has a cute little place even though she can't stand it but it's really not that bad. We figured out wedding plans, so on May 26th (a month from my anniversary), my baby sister will be a married woman. Sometimes it just seems totally unbelievable and yet at other times, it seems like this is exactly the way it should be. She talked a lot about her and Rico's relationship and she has stuff figured out that took me five or six years to realize. I think they have an extremely solid relationship to build on. That makes me happy.

I think that's all my updates!

Tuesday ramblings...

Well, I've been out of work for all of two days and I'm already feeling that desperate need to get a job! I went down yesterday and applied at a temp agency. I'm really struggling on whether or not to apply at daycares. I've watched kids for the last 10+ years and while I think I'm done, when that's the only experience you have and you need a job, it's kinda pointless to try for a career change. So...I may give it a week and then put some applications in next week.

The boys, Mom and I are going to go up and spend the weekend with Bri. We are going to leave Thursday and return on Saturday so we can spend Sunday with Chad. I'm excited to see her house and I'm hoping we can get into Savannah and drive by Lady and Sons and just look at the line of people waiting to get in! I haven't been to Savannah since I was in high school so it will be fun to go and explore for the day. Plus anytime you can get away from your daily life, it's a nice little break!

Well, I guess I'm done rambling. Matthew is waiting very patiently to play on NickJr.com so I will let him!

Holy Dentist Bill, Batman!!

I took Morgan to the dentist yesterday and oh my! He has to get three crowns and his front four teeth pulled and a bridge put in. He has got unbelievably horrible baby teeth and his adult teeth aren't gonna show up any time soon. I know a lot of it is my fault and I feel so awful but I'm really glad that we get another chance with his adult teeth.

Today is Amara's last day too. I will be very sad to see her go but I'm really looking forward to getting a job. There has been so many times that I have wanted so badly to be able to go get a job and bring in money that now that I can and the boys can stay with Mom, I'm excited to get out there in the adult world and make some money!! I really am praying that I find something that makes me happy and where I can make some friends.

Update...

Okay, since getting homeowner's insurance in Florida is akin to getting a new kidney (no offense to people waiting for one) I'll be staying with my present company and I won't have to deal with insurance salesmen! Woo hoo!! :)

I also hashed it out with my mom and some other bills that have been pressing down on me are taken care of too. Yay Mom! Today has been a fabulous day!!

Insurance quotes...

I have to renew our homeowner's insurance in May and I'm shopping around to get a good deal but can I just tell you that I really cannot stand dealing with insurance!! I just really don't like dealing with anybody that sells anything. Ugh...I'm sure I need to work on that attitude!

I'm going back to work.

Well, I told the mom of the little girl I babsit yesterday that I can't watch her anymore. As soon as she has a new sitter, I'm going back to work. My mom is gonna come here and watch my boys and I don't think you can get better childcare than that! I'm hoping I can get a little office job or data entry or something simple that I can pass the time and only have to work Monday through Friday with no weekends or nights. I'm hoping that there are some friendly women there also that I can become friends with. I'm actually looking forward to getting back out into the adult world but I can't think too much about leaving my boys all day because it makes me so sad. We have so much fun together but if they can't have me (or Chad), I'd rather them be with Nana. I know they are old enough that it's not like I'm leaving a newborn but I have really enjoyed being home with them for the last three years. But you do what you gotta do and I always try to do it with a smile! :)
