GETTING IN TO THE SWING OF THINGS

WELLI HAVE BEEN BACK ABOUT THREE WEEKS NOW AND AM STILL ADJUSTING. GOING BACK TO WORK HAS BEEN WONDERFUL. INSTEAD OF GOING BACK TO MY SCHOOL I HAVE DECIDED TO BE AN IN-HOME SITTER FOR A FAMILY THAT I HAVE KNOW FOR A FEW YEARS AND NEEDED HELP. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE DOING THIS. NO BOSSES TO ANSWER TO, NO SCHEDULING CONFLICTS NOTHING. I PROVIDE CARE FOR THEIR ALMOST 5 MONTH OLD, 3 YEAR OLD AND 6 YEAR OLD. I ACTUALLY MET THEM WHEN THEIR OLDEST WAS 2!!!! AMAZING, THE RELATIONSHIPS AND FRIENDSHIPS THAT FORM IN A CHILD CARE CENTER. THIS FAMILY HAS ALWAYS BEEN SPECIAL TO ME AND IT JUST MAKES ME FEEL SO GOOD THAT I COULD HELP THEM OUT INTHEIR TIME OF NEED AND THEY ARE ALSO HELPING ME.

LIVING WITH MOM IS GOING TO TAKE SOME GETTING USED TO. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE CHEAP RENT AND THE FACT THAT THERE IS USUALLY A HOME COOKED MEAL LIKE EVREYNIGHT. IT IS JUST WITH LEAVING MY BDROOM SUIT IN NC, I AM LITERALLY LIVING OUT OF A SUITCASE. I DID MAKE A BED BY PUSHING TWO TWIN BEDS TOGETHER. I ONLY SLEEP THERE WHEN PETE COMES AND STAYS THOUGH. OTHER THAN THAT I STAY IN MY YOUNGER SISTER, CECILIA'S ROOM.

SOCO HAS PRETTY MUCH ADJUSTED VERY WELL. SHE HAS ALWAYS LOVED VISITING BUD. THEY STILL RUN AND CHASE EACH OTHER AND BARK AND GROWL AND RECENTLY THE NEW THING IS THAT SHE WILL FETCH TENNIS BALLS. WHEN SHE GETS IT SHE WILL TEASE BUD WITH IT!! I HAVE TO PUT UP A VIDEO IT IS JUST THE CUTEST THING!!!

SOME FAMILY THINK THAT I DO NOT VISIT OR CALL ENOUGH. I KNOW THAT I DO NOT AND I KEEP USING THE EXCUSE THAT I AM STILL ADJUSTING. WHICH REALLY IS NOT AN EXCUSE. HONESTLY, T IS THE TRUTH. I GOT A LIL BEHIND ONSOME OF MY BILLS WHILE I WAS GONE AND HAVE TO CATCH UP ON THEM. SO PRETTY MUCH I ONLY DRIVE TO AND FROM WORK AND THAT IS IT IN AN EFFORT TO CONSERVE FUEL. IT IS ALL ABOUT BUDGETING AT THIS POINT AND I THINK THAT I AM OFF TO THE RIGHT START.

WELL, DONE RAMBLING FOR NOW I THINK IF I CAN THINK OF ANYTHING ELSE THEN I WILL ADD LATER. BUH BYE NOW!!

DRAMA

WELL.... I DO NOT KNOW WHERE TO START... I HAVE BEEN SO STRESSED OUT LATELY ABOUT THIS MOVE THAT I HAVE NOT BEEN KEEPING UP WITH THIS BLOG. IF YOU KNOW ME YOU KNOW THAT I WILL TRY JUST ABOUT ANYTHING ONCE. I DID AND I DID NOT SUCCEED. AFTER PUTTING IN MULTIPLE APPLICATIONS FOR JOBS HERE IN NC IT HAS BEEN DETERMINED THAT I HAVE TO MOVE HOME. I CAN NOT RISK LOSING MY VEHICLE AND GOING BACK IN TO DEBT BY STAYING HERE AND WAITING. MY FAMILY IS SUPER STOKED!! I AM GOING TO HAVE TO LIVE IN MY MOMS BASEMENT WHCIH HAS THE PERKS (CCHHHHHEEEEAAAAAPPPP RENT). IT KINDA SUCKS THAT I WILL NOT HAVE MY OWN PLACE BUT I FIGURED THAT THIS WILL GIVE ME THE OPPORTUNITY TO SAVE. I HAVE ALREADY SPOKE TO MY DAD ABOUT THIS B/C OF COURSE I WOULD NEVER EVER DO ANYTHING THAT HE IS NOT COMFORTABLE WITH AND HE LET ME KNOW THAT HE IS OK WITH IT AND COMPLETELY UNDERSTANDS WHY I HAVE TO DO IT. WELL UNTIL NEXTIME FOLKS!!! I AM GOING TO GO GET ON MY FB ACCT NOW AND THEN PLAY SOME GAMES ON THE NET!!
