Forgot to mention
But I did indeed get a job. I start TODAY!~! The child support agency called me back on Friday and offered me the job I wanted of the two they had. Of course, I took it. So this weekend was busy with me and Brian getting a second car. Got it for exactly the price we wanted, with a bit of extended warranty since its a 2002 and will be a commuter car. It's a Toyota Corrolla LE with only 30k miles on it for a 2002, thats wonderful and exactly what I wanted. Even got it for cheaper cause I found it online first and brought the ad with me.
So I now work 8-5, but I'm only 10 minutes from home. I get an hour for lunch meaning I can most likely come home or take care of running around needed then. I'll also be able to hit the grocery store on the way home if I so choose. Full time scares me a bit, but honestly in two more years I'll most likely be looking for a full time job with my degree in hand, so its not a horrible thing. I'll miss a few hours with the kids, but thats life. Brian will be home either at 2 or 4, so its not like they'll be alone, and it'll actually do him good I think.
Oh and the pay is incredible for me, I didn't expect more than 9.50 an hour (and that was high) and I'm getting 11.05 an hour... how do you say no to that? And its not an office admin job, its a specific job inside the agency, and potential to move into other jobs there. I think its a great fit and honestly I'm keeping this one even if I absolutely hate it. We need the money.
Luckily with my schooling we are on the last unit for this quarter, so I have 4 chapters to read and some online discussion and just one essay to write. I should be able to fit that all into the next two weeks. Then I get a few weeks off to adjust to everything. I need to fit working out back into my schedule, not that I've needed it this last week, I haven't stopped moving yet.
Can't wait to lose 4 more pounds, that'll be 100 pounds gone. Talk about an accomplishment. It'll be almost a year by the time I lose it, but thats fine with me. It means I'm doing it the right way and it'll not be coming back. That's even more important to me, that it never comes back. I'd rather take 2 years to do it and never gain it back than 6 months and rebound in just a few years.
Tons to take care of this morning, but hope you all have a wonderful day!
