Homecoming Weekend

I'm so excited for homecoming!!! Well....I'm not going, of course...but Jessie and her friends are. Her first homecoming!! I just am still in shock that she is growing up so fast!! Tonight her and Pete are at the game. We are currently undefeated! I hope it turns out good tonight!

I had a horible headache this morning and went in late to work. It kinda lingered all day and is back again. I'm hoping Jake will go to sleep early...Well it is almost 8:30 so I will try to have him lay down soon. Then I can veg on the couch and watch the debate.

Pete found out for sure that the new dealership will not be opening. Therefore, he does not have a job to go back to. Guess we kinda figured that...but it is official now. Well, at this point. So, he feels a little more able to take a job if it is offered. Not that he couldn't of before...but he was really hoping to stay with the dealership. He has a few options out there. He is going to talk to a guy tomorrow...has a second interview next week. And our friend that works for IBM said that his boss pulled the applications and was going to start looking at them....so he may get a call soon.

So...keep us in your prayers.

What up...

Well, not much. Been pretty quiet around here. Work...well I hate. But that is just because I'm bored out of my freakin mind! But, it will be okay. Pete still hasn't heard anything about his job. Oh well...soon hopefully. We are going to take Jake down to just the preschool time for three days a week. That will be cheaper. Jessie is getting settled into the high school. She has joined drama club and spirit club. She was even talking about doing flag corp. next year with the marching band. She is making new friends. Homecoming is next weekend. Her and some friends are planning on going together. I think they will have a great time!

My math class was going pretty good...but now I'm stuck on this one thing. I'll have to email the instructor to see if she can help me. Jess and Pete were both trying to help me and couldn't get me to understand. I didn't really understand it much while in class....but it was 10:00 at night and I wanted to go home! I think if I can make it through the three math courses I need then I will be okay. The other classes aren't too bad for me. I've just never been great at math.

I really want to get my craft area in the basement cleaned up. Actually we want to get the whole basement cleaned up. That will be nice if we can get that done before Pete goes back to work. I'm hoping so! I would like to start doing some scrapbooking, sewing and whatever else! I've been feeling crafty lately! lol I saw something I want to try. Taking glass tile and braking them and gluing them to make a mosaic picture. I think one thing at a time! Like clean up the craft area! lol

Gotta go switch laundry, get Jake's bath ready and let the dog in. I'm going to color Jessie's hair when she gets home. She will have green streaks for homecoming this week!

Nothing much

Nothing much going on around here. Tired of working, tired of being fat and tired of a messy house! That is about all. I was going to take a half day today so I could clean the house a bit and work on my homework. But, I don't know if that will happen....being that it is already noon. Oh well....Maybe later in the week.

Pete still doesn't know anything about his job. It is driving him CRAZY! He is so ready to go back to work. He did apply to some places last week. And was going to do a little searching today. Maybe something will happen.

The kids are doing good. Jess is finally getting settled into high school. Jake is loving his new school. He does give Pete the sad eyes and starts to cry before he leaves...but the teacher says "cmon jake" and he is off.

Welp, guess I better get back to finding something to work on. I have just about everything done here at my desk and another girl's desk who is out. I just need to go home! :o)

We Made IT!

Welp, we made it through the first day of High school & preschool. Jessie started high school yesterday! I can't believe it! And Jake had his first official day of preschool. He has had preschool before but this is at his "new" school. He does really good and is more interactive with the teachers and kids then he was with his other school. Jessie is a little bummed because she doesn't have her normal friends she use to eat lunch with last year in her lunch this year. And herfriends are not in too many of her classes. Both yesterday and today she has come home stressed and worn out. I'm sure after a few weeks she will get the hang of things.

Pete still does not know what is going on with his job. I feel bad because I know he is tried of sitting at home. It is frustrating for him. Hopefully we will hear something soon....but then again, we have thought that before!

I hope she's not sick...

Well, my daughter starts school next week. Of course she hasn't had strep in over a year. When she does get it, it knocks her out and we somtimes end up in the ER. Well, over the weekend she started not feeling good and her throat was hurting. Therefore, she has an appointment today at the doctors. I hope they give us antibiotic so we can nipp whatever this is before next week.

Tonight is orientation for 9th grade! So sick or not, we will be going so she can see where her classes are and we can learn high school rules. lol

My son started a new school last week. He will go three days a week until my husband is back to work. He really enjoys it. He is making friends and actually talking and playing with the teachers and other kids.

Well....lunch is over. Guess I will get back to work.

Stressed

I have to confront some fellow employees today....I am really nervous. These girls can be vicious!! Oh well....It is time for me to stand up and not be a follower. If they think I'm a bitch well then so be it!

Wish me luck!!

The end of a LONG week

Well last week was fair week. We weren't too busy, but boy did it seem like a long week at work! They are talking about having options of 4 10hour days...I dont know if I could stand to be there for 10 hours a day! But then like today, I was late coming in and had a meeting in the afternoon and could of stayed longer to finish up stuff. Actually working 10 hour days wouldn't work because the mornings are too hectic for us. I'm sure we could make it work, if we had too.

The kids are doing good. My daughter is suppose to be reading the last book she needs to for the summer break, To Kill A Mockingbird. I never read it, so I can't really help her on it. She just has to answer questions as she reads the book. It is due the first day school goes back. I think she is getting anxious for school to be back in. I also, think that she has a little crush on a certain boy! :o) She won't admit it though! lol

My son is doing good. Him and daddy being home together is starting to get to both of them. I think we are going to see about putting him back in day care for a few days a week. Besides preschool will be starting soon.

My husband thought he would be back to work by now, but that isn't happening. So, hopefully he will be back by the end of August. That is what he heard today anyway...that is the hope. Hopefully with our son going to school a few days a week will give him a whole day to work on stuff here at home. He has been able to accomplish some things.

I would like to see the downstairs bathroom toliot fixed, and the upstairs bathroom re-done. Along with the basement cleaned up and MY craft area set up. Maybe we can spend our winter down there.

We are hoping to get the house fixed up so we can possible put it on the market next year...again all depends on my husbands job. We are not sure if we want to live in a devlopment or get some acreage.

I've been doing okay...work has been getting to me. The girl that does my job with me, is going to go part time, then my cousin who is an underwriter will be going part time. They are going to job share. My cousin is actually getting a demotion/pay cut to come down to my level job. But that is what she thinks is best when she comes back from maternity leave.

Gotta get little one to bed!
