An offer I can't refuse, or can I?

So, after what seems like months of job applications I have had my first job offer today. It is at Healthsouth as a Nurse Tech, which sounds great but I would have to take a pay cut, which is NOT what I was looking for in a job. Ugh. Something to think/pray about.

I'm back.

Never in my LIFE have I been so obsessed with finding a job. Don’t get me wrong, I love my job now but I have been here 4+ years and I am NOT making what I should (and if you ask me, what I deserve.. lol). Everyday I get on websites and look, apply and hope... today is no different. Keep your fingers crossed for me people, thanks.

Gavin has started hockey (3 weeks ago, ugh sorry, I’m a terrible blogger) and he LOVES it. He isn’t so good at the skating part but he is defiantly improving. He still hates school, and hasn’t even started and he’s the worst morning person I’ve ever met, myself not included. He has also developed the infamous attitude/smart mouth syndrome, which gets him in trouble a lot.. a lot, A LOT. You get it. I’ve found the worst punishment in the WORLD is taking the Wii, which in turn makes him wish for a different mom. Ugh, thanks Gavin. :)

Ashtyn is still my sassy little diva that refers to herself as Ashtyn Princess. She (we, because it was like we both had it) just recovered from RSV so she (we, again) have been getting very little sleep. There are 2 things I need in live to survive and one of them is sleep, luckily she’s all better and our ‘up all night coughing’ will subside.

I have to get back to work.. errr, looking for a job. LoL.. until next time, and let’s hope it’s not in 6 months…

Best Christmas Ever.

at least that's what Gavin kept telling me! We all had a great Christmas, and the kids REALLY racked up this year, and of course that Wii benefits me a lot! :) I got everything I asked for too.. go me!

I don't have a lot to blog about, so I will fill that void with some pictures!

I'm back..

Recreational internet activity at work has had to come to halt (indefinitely) and since I am the only person in the world without internet at home it’s SO hard for me to blog like I should.. err, want to.



I went to court (FINALLY) this past week and now have a set schedule/child support system.. aka.. Miss Ashtyn can’t be taken or kept from me whenever ‘he who shunt be named’ get mad at me, and also means when the check starts coming though school will be paid on time and I won’t have to miss work/bring Ashtyn to work with me on busy days/find a last minute sitter because the director say’s ‘I’m sorry you can’t leave her here b/c her school wasn’t paid.’ Yaay!

Ashytn is 2, going on 16.. She needs, not wants, certain things like chocolate milk with a straw and sunglasses when the sun is ‘hot in my eyes’ and a purse for her ‘mateup’. Diva in training, and I’ve been warned, it only gets worse. I need prayer.



My Star Wars loving, school hating 5 year old grown man is doing great. For a little while he was a bit on the ‘I don’t want to listen to my mom’ and ‘smart mouth’ stage but luckily for him (me too, but him mostly) it didn’t last long. He has a tonsillectomy and recovered fine with only a bit of a voice change. He sleeps so much better.. And so do I. He was a bit of a snorer’ before the surgery.




Gavin got to go see one of his FAVE people Ashley and baby Addie. He loves Addie.

Halloween was so much fun! Ashtyn was a bumble bee (inspired by the infamous song ‘I’m bringing home a baby bumble bee...” which is Ash’s FAVE!) and Gavin was a Clone Trooper, of course, inspired by the ever-so-famous Star Wars: Attack of the Clones. Gavin is a ‘bad guys’ fan, just like his mom... Ehh. I tried (as well as my mom) to get Gavin to be Darth Vader, and when I asked him why he wouldn’t be him his answer; “I gotta be a clone trooper for the gun.” Evidently having every color of light sabers isn’t enough.


With their Baby Boomboom!

P.S.

I took the kids to the park on Saturday to feel the ducks and for pictures- since I can’t afford professional ones I just did them myself! Go me.. and RTR!

Are you kidding me right now?

At what point does a person lie so much that they have convinced even themselves that they are telling the truth? Is this a sickness and if so, can it be cured? Ehhh.. I’m hoping so, but I’m thinking not. Sorry- had to vent a little.

It was my birthday weekend, Friday night my dad took me out to my yearly ritual Red Lobster feast where I proceed to order too much food and sit there and stuff myself to the point that I have to unbutton my pants.. yeah I said it. Gavin discovered a new love for shrimp and Ashtyn acted like a too-good diva the whole time who thought it was ok to take her shoes off and play musical chairs, no mam. She’s a little too much sometimes, even for me!

Saturday night I was wined and dined @ my fave- Ruth’s Chris! Yuummy! If you have been there then you already know, and if you haven’t then you obviously don’t know, and you need to find out- ASAP! It’s an experience you will never forget.

Ok, I think we’re all caught up except personal things I can not let the world know yet, but don’t worry my nosey people- cough cough- Candace, you’re time is coming.

Back in Action.

It’s Thursday- blah. The most dreaded weekday (to me) of all the week days. Why Thursday, you ask? Because, I answer, because Thursday is the day that I have to work from 9a-5p @ the office and continue my work day from 6p-3a @ my other office. That right people, count it up.. That’s 16 hours of work.. wouldn’t you hate Thursday too?

I have not written in a while, but not because I don’t have anything to write about but because I simply forgot that I was a blogger. I know, I know. Gavin’s birthday was this past weekend and we had a party @ Chuck E Cheese which is the worst place ever, IMO. Chuck E Cheese reminds me of Thursday’s—Eck. I will post pics as soon as I get them on a disc.

Ashtyn has been sick, therefore Gavin will be sick soon- yay.
