Glimpses of the Former Me

Before I started working full time, I was the queen of multi-tasking and volunteering and being all around involved….in everything.
I was very active in the PTO, Vice President to be exact, I was at the school constantly to volunteer for everything and anything, I was the team mom for Chuckie’s football team, I was running around [...]



Curveball

I’m done whining, I really am!
After complaining that daycare was taking my paychecks away from me, I decided to look in the paper for any daycare or childcare providers that might be a little less expensive to help us out.  I didn’t find anything but I did see an ad for a daycare hiring a full [...]



oops

I swear I didn’t forget about my site!  Things have been hectic around here.  I am getting into a better routine these days but haven’t had too much time for online stuff. 
I try to at least read everyone else’s sites to keep up to date on what is going on with everyone.  Is it just [...]



Good Things!

I got a call this morning that is going to change our lives.  I got the job that I was hoping to get!  I will be starting on Monday morning!  I also told them that I cannot work next Friday due to our plans to go to Kennywood and he was fine with that!!  My current [...]



A move in the right direction

I have been looking for a job for many months.  I have applied several places, had interviews and even had one place call to say they wanted to hire me.  Unfortunately, that company…the daycare…hasn’t called back.  I drive past there every so often and I don’t think they had a very good enrollment because there [...]



Something New

Well, since I am back from vacation, I guess I will do a post about something other than the beach.   We are back in the routine of everyday life now.  The kids now have only four days of school left after today.  I have mixed feelings about this as it means we don’t have [...]



So Much To Do, So Little Time

I have been passing the weeks keeping busy with some small things and it seems that now, time is catching up to me and I am starting to worry that I am going to get a little overwhelmed with the things coming up quickly.
The first order of business is the bowling fundraiser I am helping [...]



Falling into Place

Well, I will be working three days a week from now on!!  My old boss at the restaurant has decided to allow me back during the week to wash dishes.  I am happy that I will be bringing in some money to the family and that it is at a place that I feel comfortable [...]



Do I stink?!

I’ve written on here a few times about trying to get a job.  I’ve tried to get a job.  Nothing has panned out.  I’ve had a few interviews here and there.  I’ve filled in applications here and there.  Nothing.  I am starting to feel like a loser.  What is it about me that doesn’t appeal to [...]



More time

I cannot express just how happy I am that football is now over.  Totally and completely over.  This means that my Tues, Wed and Thurs. evenings will be spent at home, doing nothing.  Well, maybe I can actually do more housework or fun things. 
I went to the gym this morning after not going all weekend.  [...]
