Where is the oh so great magical fix it button when you need it?  Please tell me!  Or is there even one and where can I get it?  Oh how I wish and dream of it, well at least when I am working anyway,  just a long last two days of working.  Oh well only just one more day and I get a day off, which I have to spend last minute school shopping.  Not much of a day off but at least I am still off.  But starting next week we will finally be getting back into some semblance of a routine with bedtimes and such, because frankly in the summer we stay up as late as possible and wake up barely in time for me to get them to grandma and start work.

But on a more I hope this works note we got the letter for my younger son today for “meet the teacher” at school Thursday and I am kind of glad my rambunctious younger son got the most strict kindergarten teacher that they have at the school.  We think that it will do him a world of good because if you are too nice he can step all over you two or three times over.  He is a sweet kid most of the time and behaves most of the time,  just a bit on the mischievous side.  So I believe she will keep him in line and it is a good thing.

So many things to use that button for from fixing customers problems when they call to making my kid behave all the time and of course what we all wish for one for keeping the house clean.  Someone needs to get on that invention!

Today has been kind of a boring nothing going on day, I mean seriously nothing has went on. My husband and I are both off on Saturdays and of course the kids are home, usually we go into town and shop or find something to do. However today we didn’t even leave the house until the in-laws came and picked the boys up for banana splits and a movie at the church. So I did finally decide to leave the house because an ice cream just sounded too good, yum. I know I am supposed to be working on losing weight but an ice cream ever now and then won’t hurt anything, well hope not anyway. The grammar in that last sentence seems atrocious but I am just going to leave it as it is.  Well at least next Saturday it won’t be as boring because we will be doing last minute school shopping, kids gotta have supplies and new shoes, already bought tons of clothes.

Since starting to work at home, I have more time to listen to music I always have some going while I am working.  It is I assure everyone low enough that no one can hear it when I am talking to a customer.  Some of my favorites right now are Avenged Sevenfold, AFI, Katy Perry, and The Pierces.  A huge difference in genres I know, thats just how I have always been.  But out of all of them I can’t quit listening the song “Afterlife” by Avenged Sevenfold, it is on their Avenged Sevenfold album which I have listened to over and over but by far “Afterlife” is my favorite, here is the video check it out.

This is something that I should have been posting about for a while now, but just never got around to it.  I have been working at home part time sometimes even full time hours on top of my full out of the house job for over a year and half now.  Well back in April I received the opportunity to work full time from home every week(before I just couldn’t gurarantee the hours).  There are so many good and bad things about working from home, but in my oh so helpful opinion the good totally outweighs the bad.  I feel like anyone who can handle it or has the opportunity to work from home should try it.

Some of the good things about it are:

1.  I save almost $200 a month on gas!

2. I save about 150-200 a month on eating out during the day for breakfast and somestimes lunch

3. I am always around for my kids unless of course I am on the phone.

4. Not always true for some people, but I am actually making more money now (my other job was just going down)

4.  I get to work in my pajamas, ummm hello thats just awesome and I don’t even have to worry about if I match or not.

And the bad:

1.  I go days and days at a time without leaving the house, sometimes I have to go to the store just to get out of the house.

Someone else’s list of good and bad of working at home may be different, but the good totally out weighs the bad in my house.  And some people might think it may get boring without anyone to talk to, not for me I am constantly talking to friends and communicating with people that I know online, so I totally don’t drive my husband crazy with talking.  I think he just says that to get a rise out of me, he is good at that.

And I know that sometime it is hard for people to find legit work at home jobs, you just gotta know where to look there are tons of good ones out there.  I have worked for 3 and am working for a good now.

 enjoy,

I was one of the crazy people who actually went out and bought the Wii Fit the morning it came out, I had been dying for one since I had read about it.  Well I have bee kind of lazy about using it actually when I logged on this morning I hadn’t used in 26 days, yikes I know.  Well I am determined to lose this weight that I have gained since going back to working in call centers and at home 2 years ago. 

And hopefully this little baby will help me do it :

I got this at Best Buy this weekend the other thing I plan on getting as soon as I find another one is the Yoga Mat, I know, I know I could just buy a regular one but I want the Wii Fit one, I think it would be umm inspiring to have that one, I am silly I know this.  But anyway about the Journal I think that it could help me to hold myself accountable to actually filling it out and filling the book up, so we shall see how that goes.  I have put in a some new goals today and really want to achieve those.

So far today I have drank 3: 8 oz. glasses of water

done 15 min of aerobics, 3 mins of running (its been a while so I am building back up) and 20 of the jack knives.  Tommorow will be more aerobics and running and adding some yoga into it all.

The dictionary definition of daydreamer is “a reverie indulged in while awake.”  Not many people would admit to being such, but I freely admit to it, whether it is imagining a different life or pretending in my head while wandering around my home or yard that I am someone else entirely.  I can honestly say it is something that I enjoy and it has to be something that keeps me sane, because lets face it how else would I have made it as strong as I am with everything that has went on the last 8 or so years of my life. 3 things in my life make me happy, my boys all three of them my husband for sticking by me and wanting to work through everything no matter what it took, and my other two boys who without them life would probably be pointless at this point and the final thing that has kept me sane is fantasizing or daydreaming because it takes my mind off of the past and makes me smile, maybe I should start writing some of the things that I think about, I have quite the imagination, we shall see if I could ever get any of those down coherently, which has proven most difficult at past attempts, we shall see though, but for now they stay in my head.

Finally I have gotten over some laziness, that seemed to last forever.  Well here it is it is of my Zodiac symbol and yep I am an aquarius, I know its hard to tell from this picture but the outline is black and the inside ink is pink, which I have never really been a pink fan but just couldn’t resist it for some reason.  I am so ready for another tattoo, who knows what I will get next.
