Current Job

Have you ever had a job that you really wished you didn't have? Like the kind that you dread to go to when you wake up in the morning? Or the kind, to be more accurate, you don't want to go to sleep the night before because you know when your alarm clock goes off in the morning...you're going to have to GO to that job? The blood pressure raising, hair falling out, stressed to the max kind of job?

I have one of those at the moment. I'm trying to find a replacement for that one. I've been trying to find a replacement for a couple months now. I REALLY don't want to go there any more. BUT...without that income, I'm seriously in a pickle. Granted, it's not very much income, but it's the difference between making my bills with a little bit of working captial left over or not making my bills at all.

I'm tired of the stress associated with it. I'm tired of the aggrevation. I'm tired of the who did this, and why did you do that, and I wanted that done BEFORE you went to lunch (even though I kept you past the time you were SUPPOSED to go to lunch and your stomach was eating its way into your backbone), and come to find out...you didn't even do the thing that you were accused of not doing correctly!

The amount of money I get paid is just not worth the stress that is incorporated into this job.

Working on Mother's Day

While my normal outlook towards working on Mother's Day would be a total pity party, today has been great. I have an awesome boss at my weekend job. Easter weekend 2010, Lou Ann went to stay with her niece who lives in the same town as me. (2 blocks over actually) I went to work for 2.5 hours Saturday morning and that was it. I had ALL Easter Sunday off to be with my kids and family until it was time to head back to Wellington.

Lou Ann asked me if I wanted to go anywhere or do anything this weekend. With the heat wave Florida has been experiencing lately...NO!!!! She had me dress her in casual clothes this morning when we got ready for the day. She asked what I was getting for Mother's Day and I said, "Three carnations from the kids from church and three handmade cards. They typing paper folded in half kind." Then she sent me to The Olive Garden to pick up chicken alfredo for my Mother's Day Lunch! It was SO SWEET!

UGH about sums it up!

I'm hot, I'm sticky, I'm extremely filthy. I look around and realize...I'm not done yet! The Florida heat has driven my concrete chips covered self back into the house and AC. I need A SHOWER, to wash clothes, to figure out something for supper, to at least make a half-hearted attempt to do something with my bedroom, and a slew of other day-to-day things that are left to me to make up when DH (Dear Husband) is hurting too much to do.

What will I actually do? Cool shower then fill up the tub and sit there for a while hoping it will all go away by the time I get out. Hey, they say stranger things have happened. I'd like to know what and when, but that's what they say. :)
