My Time Off

I have spent this whole week away from work and I had a lot planned for what I was gonna do. I had planned on doing a lot of cleaning and sorting and things. Well it is now Thursday night and I haven't gotten a lot done. I have done a little bit of cleaning but not near what I wanted to do. I still have a couple days off and I do work well under pressure so this may not be a total waste. I think I have really only left the house twice. It has been quite nice just lazing around and not having to pretty myself up and leave the house. I am not looking forward to having to go back to work. I will enjoy adult conversations but still the time off has been nice.

Moving Out

I talked with my mom the other day about an idea she had. She suggested me look into getting an apartment or home with assistance from Job and Family Services. If it was possible to get an apartment that was virtually free then I would definitely move in. I love my mother and it has been fun living with her. Yes the dogs do annoy me but it is a small price to pay for living rent free. But it is about time that I have my own place to take care of. Lexi and I are cramped into one room and the rest of her stuff is thrown about the living room. I know it is taking up my mom's house and I feel bad but I didn't know there was any other option until now. I have an appointment with a case worker to see if there is anything that they can do for me. I think what I am really looking forward to is being able to decorate and put my own stuff out. The challenge will be to locate everything in my storage garage. But it all hinders on whether or not they can get me an apartment for little or no money. We will see.

The Joys of Motherhood

So I just love being on my own with my three year old. I work all day long and spend the evening with her. I wish there was a chance that her father could spend more time with her. So she could get to know him and I could get a break every once in a while. There are days where I would just love to sit and do nothing. I know it is probably bad of me to ignore her sometimes but I just need a release. Working on my computer is my way to release tension from the day. So basically I have a week off where it will be just her and I, and I hope I have not ripped all my hair out by the end of the week. I need help with her and I don't know where to get it. My mother is out of town so she can't really help me and the only friends I had that were willing to babysit for me are no longer in my life. I have a couple people who have offered to babysit but I always feel bad asking for help. I guess there is just a time that I need to get over it and get help. I am not superwoman and I know that but sometimes I feel like I need to be that.

Work

So, here is how I am liking my job so far. I started working there in August 2007 after the military and thought is was going to be a long time before I got to advance. Ten months later our supervisor leaves and I applied for her job and I got it. Isn't that awesome. Not many people can say they get the supervisor job after only 10 months. Except for the fact that my manager has now made me his bitch with all his extra jobs, I like it. I do have one problem child and I am ready for her to get the hell out. I don't think she will last much longer so that makes me happy. When I first started in this job I though it would take me a long time to get to know any one. But after a while I started getting my "usual" customers that I recognized when they entered the bank. And there were quite a few people that would flirt with me and a few I would flirt with. But there was one person who stood out over everyone else. He was sweet and I loved talking with him everytime he came in the bank. I even got back in my window if I was doing something else just so I could help him. It also worked out that he worked across the street from me so I could occasionally see him talking to customers over there. Well, we talked for a while and finally he got up the nerve to ask me out and the rest is history. So basically what I am trying to say is this job was a great one to get.

First Blog

OK, so here is my first blog ever. After much harassing from my other half, I gave in and started it. I don't know how much I plan on putting her but who knows, I may get addicted and blog all the time. Hope you enjoy my posts. Until then, stay fabulous!
