Sorry I have not been around. This will be an extremely long post, and you will soon learn
why I haven't been around.
First to respond to the past 3 days of posts.
Kim - That is a tough situation. My dad owns his own company and the only people that work there are him and my mom. And they do it out of their basement. And have for the past 8 years. And to tell you the truth, I worked for my dad for a year and never realized how
much my parents loved eachother until then because I got to see them tease eachother and stuff like that.
They work extremely well together. My advice to you is that being happy in your job is the most important thing. More on that to come, as it is one of the reasons I have not posted lately.
Belle - Yay on the pants!!!!!! More on
my shopping spree later
Tonya - That dog is sooooooooo lucky. I just had a huge argument with a friend yesterday on what I thought was animal abuse. More on that too later I guess
Laura - Do what you think will help you. If WW isn't it, then don't continue. I know how you feel!!!
Hello to everyone else...sorry I don't have time to respond.
Ok first about eating. My little problem has reared its ugly head. I think its because I am working so much (stress) plus all the kids have at their house is junk food. I've learned to bring my own snacks with me now.
Onto the job situation:
I am still really (emphasize that
REALLY) not happy here. I have been applying for jobs back in Boston like crazy. I so do not like it here in RI either. My family and friends are so far away, and Jay and I have only made one really good friend here since we got here in May.
Why I haven't posted:
Monday I had off but had to babysit still 3-6. It was an OK day. I watched the new version of "The Shining" which I thought was very good. It was 4 hours long tho hehe
Tuesday I went home sick at 9:30 (got to work at 6:30), then babysat 3-8. Got off an hour early. Yesterday I worked 6:30 - 12, went home and had lunch, then had to go to the dentist at 1:30. I had a broken filling and had to get that replaced. Then I babysat 3-9. Although I did get to do MY grocery shopping while I babysat.
Ok, now shopping
So after the dentist and before babysitting yesterday I went to the Gap. OH MY you would not believe what I found. LOW RISE BOOT CUT JEANS FOR $12.99!!!!!!!!! And they had 2 of them in size 10s. I bought them BOTH. They fit wonderfully. I kinda wish I could wear an 8 and I even tried one on but nope not yet!
I don't like jeans that sit right on my waist at the belly button. They annoy me. I only like the low rise jeans. Before I could fit into them (when I was a size 16 and 18) I used to buy men's jeans so they would fall below my waist. I also got 3 shirts (with hoods) for $7 each. I got a down filled vest for $9.99 (need that for work, it is FREEZING in here) and I got a new purse. The purse was the only thing not on sale. I think it was around $25 but so cute. So this is where my babysitting money went (half of it actually. I spend $88 at the gap, then $92 on groceries. So almost exactly half).
Babysitting:
I often think about quitting, but then I think about what I can buy with all the extra money and how my debt will go down quicker and then I decide not to quit. But it really takes up so much time. I go to bed at 10 and get up at 5:30. I really want to get to bed at 9 but it doesn't happen.
Ok I have an animal story too but this post is already so long I will spare you it and post it later.
Hope everyone is having a wonderful day!
Is it Thursday already?
I love shopping...Saturday dh and I are taking off for the day and I am going to my fav. thrift store. I HOPE I will be able to fit into something....usually everything is too small. It has been a few months since I went so it might be a different story! I would try to keep the babysitting job until you find something you would like better. The extra money is what lets you go on your shopping spree's!
