I got the long awaited for letter yesterday. I did not get the job I wanted so badly. I was so heartbroken. With that job, I could have made enough money to finally move out, buy a car, all the stuff I have been wanting to do since I was 18. I had hoped I would get the job.

I definitely cried when I did not get the job. I moped, and moped. At least that only lasted a day. I am more than ready to get back out and try to find a job somewhere else. Wish me luck?

I am so sick and tired of seeing working mom vs. stay-at-home mom debates everywhere. Everyone making rude comments about the other. It’s crazy, and it’s stupid.

Why can’t working moms and stay at home moms just admit that the other side does have it’s positives and that they both have their negatives. In the end it is just up to the person to make their choice on what would work better for them.

Quite honestly, I’m not judgemental against either. I’d happily be a working mom, but I do know the benefits of being a stay-at-home mom right now.

I can hardly believe that tomorrow is mom’s first day back to work. It’s been about 3 ½ months ish. At first I couldn’t wait for her to go back to work. Now I think it’s going to feel a bit strange without her home every day. I had learned to adapt to only being online nights and now I’m going to have time during the day to get everything I need done. I’d weeded out so many other things, having time for more stuff will be a little weird. I must admit, it’ll be nice to get more done.

Wow, I'm glad to see that nutang is up and running again.

So anyway, I've got some good news and some bad news. Unless you don't actually consider my bad news bad.

The Bad? I'm not intending to start up the 100 words a day again. I'll come around and write when I have something to say, of course. But I can almost guarentee that it won't be every day.

The Good? I got a part time job. I work at a near by gas station. So now I have the days to do what I usually do. Work on my website, etc. I go to work for 3 hours at night and come home to finish working from home for Dane.

It means I'm busier than I used to be but I am happy. It's great being able to get out of the house even if it is to work. I generally work Monday-Thursday for about 3 hours a night. It's not a lot, but that's actually perfect for me.

I get to do all that stuff most people don't enjoy. Stocking the cooler, cleaning, all that stuff no one really enjoys. I love it. The only time it really sucks is when someone comes in to try to talk to me while I'm working. I lose my concentration.

I'm still behind speed wise. I am getting faster, though. The cooler used to take me a long time to stock. But now I'm starting to learn what we do and do not have, etc. It's getting a lot easier.

I've gotta run. I look forward to being able to post here again soon, now that nutang is back!

... christmas came and went, I went after christmas sale shopping, I cried at work out of frustration, and almost quit.

As soon as my flickr page decides to load, I'm going to get a photo added to this entry.

I got a few things during the after christmas sales. On the 26th I got a make up set that was marked 1/2 off. So it was down to under $10 for this huge makeup kit. I liked the eye shadows they had in it. They have some neat color combinations. Today I went to the store and I picked up some christmas stationary that was still only 1/2 off and some shiny silver wrapping paper. I figured because it didn't have anything holiday specific on it, I could use it year round.

Wednesday at work my boss approached me and told me I need to work on getting faster. I told him I have been doing my best and going as fast as I can possibly go. Then he went on to tell me about how great the woman before me was and how she came in an half hour later than me and had no problem getting everything done by 9:30. I told him I understood and I doing my best. It was a little later when I started to cry.

It's very frustrating. I work my butt off. I do the best I can and I try to go as fast as humanly possible. Yet he had the nerve to compare me to a woman who wouldn't even show up to work. She wouldn't even bother to call in. She just stopped showing up. So I ended up being called in because she couldn't manage to show up to her job, but she is soooo great.

At least I'm reliable!

It made me very angry and I am still angry. I talked to my friend who got me the job about it, and she told me what he told her. I think she was surprised I didn't quit. But I told her that although I almost did quit, I decided not to because I want to keep the job. I like the job, even though my boss and his brother have really hurt my feelings and made me mad. The boss wants her to come in one night while I work and show me how to do everything because according to him I was trained "all wrong" and I'm doing everything completely wrong. And he said I'm too much of a perfectionist. Heather asked me about that, and I told her that I try to make sure things her perfect because I am sick of being told I'm doing everything wrong. The last thing I need is to be told I am not doing something good enough. It's one thing to be corrected, it's another to be told I'm doing a sloppy job.

Last night I went to freeheadset.org, and I ordered a free headset for my phone. It only cost me $4.74 shipping. You can even get a bluetooth headset at discount of you don't already own one. If you need a headset for your phone I recommend them so far. Of course I haven't gotten my headset yet, but I've heard about them on Rachael Ray and it was all good stuff I heard. I'll definitely mention it here when I receive it. The headset shown is the one I've selected to receive. That was one of 3 options I had for the Kyocera Marbl. The phone shown isn't the one I have, though. Mine is black. But that's the type of phone I have.

Let me see, I don't think their is anything else worth talking about so I'm going to end this here. I hope everyone has a great new year and I'll be back to write again as soon as I have time.

Hay, I never intended to be gone so long. I've just been so busy. Between work, and my work from home and my mom being home for a week, I didn't have time to stop by here. The photo to the left is a picture of the birthday cupcake mom bought for Aubree. It's Elmo! Aubree is pretty obsessed over elmo. So she loved her cake. Although that frosting reminded me of a liquid marker. Anything the frosting touched turned that thing red. I have a red spot on my pants, Aubree was dyed red for a day. Even I had red fingers from eating one of the cupcakes as well. It was whipped cream frosting too, delicious. The best frosting.

Beyond that, mom's car is in bad shape right now. Their's something wrong with it. At first we thought it was the thermostat. So we got it fixed. Didn't work. So their is another option, the radiator. The sensor in that could be going, which would explain the problem as well. Mom made an appointment to have it fixed on Thursday. That's not the only problem the car has, though. The head gasket seals are leaking oil into the radiator which makes the radiator fluid black. That needs fixed too. Long story short, never buy from Superior Auto.

And work, I worked on Saturday. It's not my usual day but my friend really couldn't work that day so I filled in for her. I really didn't want to, but I do like money and that's an extra 2.5 hours for my paycheck next week.

Tonight while I was working my boss let me know that he'll be slowly teaching me new things that I'll need to know so that when summer comes I will be able to help out on register among other things, and get more hours. Right now they close at 9:30, sometimes 9. Well in the summer they don't close until 11. So that will give me 1 1/2 extra hours each shift. I am flattered that they want me to learn how to use the register because the person whose job I took over, they never wanted to teach her how. I am happy to know that they trust me enough to run register and like me. It also means they do want to keep me around. That's always good too.

I have to get around some wahm and cruise news stuff to post elsewhere so I need to go. I'll come back around here the next time I have more time. Take care everyone!
