2nd job


I arrived right on time at the church. I thought it would be more like an interview. It was more like here are the kids and hang out with them. It was all boys! Rotten boys! lol It was good though. If I knew I was staying longer, I would have brought my soda.
After watching the kids, they talked to me and plan on paying once a month. It works for me because I don't really need 25 a week. I actually would do it for free but I already do that so I am not going to offer. I am really excited!!
I don't know if my Mom is reading this much, but when I went to a garage sale and seen this Betty Boop out fit I had to buy it. Here is a picture of the pretty baby.

This week both kids went back to school. Will is in the 10Th grade but didn't get enough credits. Shhh you didn't hear that from me. I personally think it's the school's fault because when they fail to get passing grades in middle school they just pass them on. I don't know what the answer is though. Maybe make the kids clean toliets for every failing grade. haha
Tyler has entered the 5Th grade and says he is grown now. Oh my. My baby thinks he is grown. I hope he doesn't start having wild parties.
I got books from the library and one had a book mark about Mothers and the other book had someones ultrasound pictures in it. I almost thought about giving them to Tad and saying your gonna be a Daddy again. That would have been so funny. I should have done it. Well, anyways, I found the girl on Facebook and I am going to send her them as soon as she sends me the kid. hahaahahahahahaha I am cracking me up. Just kidding. I am going to get them off to her tomorrow.
Sunday, I am meeting with someone through the church about a paid babysitting job. It's only 2 hours and it's 25 a week. I would have an helper and they would be the volunteer. I am excited. I am hoping that I am not getting over my head. I won't give up volunteering for Meld. I almost bought a baby bed for 20 bucks but I didn't have it on me. I did buy a couple outfits for my dolls. I need to sort through some of them and give them away. Well, it's getting late and 6 30 am comes early.

I got a call from the lady who is trying to find someone work in the church's daycare. I am suppose to send off some references and then meet with them on Sunday. It's only 25 dollars. I want to do it but I am also thinking do I want to get up early every Sunday to do it. I am off on Sundays and Mondays and if I do it then on both of my days off I will go babysit little kids. One day for 25 and one day for free. If I do it.. I like to think of it as play money.

I need to go into my work and change the hours that I am available to work. Right now, I have been dropping Tyler off at his StepDaddies work and that works for just a day or two but four days a week for about two hours is a little bit too much. I am only going to change it from 3 to 4 but I am afraid that they will take it as me not wanting to work. Or it could result in a new client. I like my client. It's not as if she doesn't have issues.. Hello.. that's why I am working but have you ever seen the show let's make a deal? Well, this client is behind door number 1 and I know what to expect but another client, behind door 2 could be much worse. I can't go into details about my clients but there are many differnt needs and I like that this client doesn't need help in some areas.

I am officially not on unemployment anymore. I really enjoyed the time off but I was so broke. Then, the unemployment kicked in and it was nice. I do like my client so that makes it easier. I like the fact that their isn't a spouse to overlook my every move. Sometimes, husbands and wives mean well but they want you to take care of their every need even if they don't need it. I like that I feel that I can honestly do my job and let her do the things that she can do. For example.. she is starting to help me in the kitchen after dinner. When it comes to money.. it's better that I don't allow her to do anything. I could let her brain rot and I keep making more money. However, if I want to sleep at night.. I have to take care of them and if that means that they get well again. Then, so be it. I am glad that I know that I can fall back on unemployment.
Today, at the Y I found a flyer for a church that needs a day care provider for one and half hours. I took the flyer and called and left a message. They pay 25 a week and it's only for the one and half hours on Sunday. I do it for free on Monday nights.After being around old people for so long.. I am starting to really like hanging around kids.. So maybe I have a new calling.. lol I better not quit my day job lol

Tomorrow, I am taking Tyler to Magic Waters. He has a free ticket that he got from reading in the reading program. We had to push him but he did it. We should have some fun. Magic Waters is a treat for us because it's not something that I really make a effort to go to. I wish Will was coming but he didn't get a ticket. One year, I did take him anyways and I know that it doesn't teach him. I wish I didn't have to have guilt over it, because I know I am doing the right thing. Plus, I know he has already been there this summer.
Working full time hasn't been easy. I didn't work five days a week to start with. Now, I am though. I have to change my hours some, because it just doesn't feel right to leave as soon as Tyler gets home all week. I am going to try to work at least one third shift.. that way, I am home another evening.

Swimming





I thought since my biggest enjoyment out of summer has been swimming that I would take a few pictures. I still want an hot tub but Tad is right when he says that we can't spend that kind of money when he needs a car. However, he did find a blow up hot tub at Walmart for 500 that I might get. I will have to save money up, but it's something.

Home improvement, teeth brushing, and kisses


I pay for this wonderful home warranty that has saved us a few times. The biggest things was the furnace and the AC. It's something that I suggest any home owner to get. However, it doesn't fix everything. I have been dealing with a broken kitchen facet for quite a while. Sometimes the handle would come off but it didn't leak. Then, it started to leak from the handle and it wasn't covered in the warranty. It didn't seem to bug Tad much but it drove me crazy because if we didn't empty the thing under the sink, it would leak.
Well, anyways, Tad fixed up my friend's computer and she suggested that her husband could fix our sink. He looked at it and said it would be best just to get a new facet. Then, it took me a week or so to afford to buy one. Also, I was having a hard time deciding on which one to get. Decisions. Decisions. Decisions. How could I choose just one. I wanted to take a little bit from this one and a little bit from that. I just love home improvement projects. I just love my house.
It was tooth brushing time here and every time Tad helps Tyler brushes his teeth. He comes in here and gives me a earth shattering kiss. mmmmm good. He dared me to blog it. So, I did it.

Will is here until Thursday!!! I hope we can have some fun. I am thinking lots of swimming. I love the water!!!!!! Will says Yay!!!!!!Today, in my last day of work for this week. Then, I only work four days next week because Tyler has a dentist appointment. Then, he has another one in Sept. I got a cool idea. Take a lot of time off for Tyler to go to the dentist. hehe..
My client and their family made me work for my money. It's better though. I don't want to be the couch sitter.

Monday, August 2, 2010





Hey people!!! I haven't been posting too much on here. I survived my first week back at work. Next week, I have 34 hours. So, we will see if that continues or not. I am suppose to talk about my clients but I will say that I do like her and I feel like I am needed and not a high priced couch sitter. haha.
Saturday, Tad, Gary, Tyler, Amiah and myself all went to the air show. It was pretty cool. It got started late though. I could have watched for a little longer but I had to work and Gary had to get Chad from work. Work has to be getting in the way of fun. lol
Well, I took some pictures with my camera. Hope you enjoy them.
