I am loving my job, and i am so glad to be employed :) I was blessed with an amazing position, at an amazing company that does incredible things for the community. In my job, i take care of mentally and physically disabled people, who can't do for themselves. We cook, clean, shower, toilet, transfer, love, and support these people. I am so happy that i was given this job! I love all of my fellow employees, and heck! I might actually have a FRIEND. Oh Emh Gee, right?[sarcasm, m'dears]-her name is Ebony, and she is beautiful. She has a fantastic personality and she is so friendly! I love all the consumers already, and i am sure if i didn't work there anymore i would be heartbroken, because these people are just like family to me. Even "V" who is quite a handful.But she is so beautiful and intelligent, everyone doesn't like her because its actually WORK to have to deal with her, but i like it. Its fun. She is newer than even i am, she came three days after i started working there.So its a big change for all of us, not just her and I.
Speaking of work. Yesterday we had an employee appreciation banquet. "An evening with the stars" It was pretty boring, aside from my Mother in Law winning a 100.00 visa card and me winning a 20.00 gift card to Gordon Foods. There was crappy food but we went to taco bell afterwords on the way to go get my kids. And then my mom gave us pizza and breadsticks from little ceasers. And holy crap, AJ came in and visited with my mom and bill and gage :)
I am excited about getting paid: not excited about having to save my whole check. MAYBE. I may have to save my whole check [plus the 100.00 gift card i am expecting to get ANYTIME from Ross for finding employment on my own, without the assistance of the job club]. Because we don't have insurance on the car we have now, and we think that in order to get insurance on the car i will be getting, we will have to have insurance on both. Plus, first months payment, tags, and plates. PLUS gas. I don't quite know how much my check is going to be, so i am nervous. Blah. I am HORRIBLE at saving my money. HORRIBLE. SO i am hoping that if i am not able to get a car this week, that i can open a savings account and put ALL of my money into it.
On top of that, we still need Halloween Costumes, and i want to get good ones before they are all gone. But push comes to shove, we can get them whatever and they would be happy, or we could make them ones and they would be happy, or the second hand store. There are lots of options there, whether we are able to do them or not, is another story.
I am looking at Christmas presents right now, and i found a bedding set that i want to get Kaiden:

I myself, don't like Dora, but i don't know if she does or not, lol. I am going to keep looking for hers!
I have a lot of cleaning and stuff that i want to do today, so i am going to go get busy! Sorry for ranting on here, comment me and show me LOVE please <3
I work today;
Oct. 2nd, 2009 07:04 amWell, i guess that i am off to get dressed, get the kids around, and get this bedroom picked up. I leave for work in about three hours, and sometimes its never enough time to get done what i need to get done :)
Have a very good day everyone :)
PS- A week from today is my very first payday! And for the first time in almost two years, i'll have a vehicle!!!!!!!!!!
ANNNNNNNNNNNNNND, on a fantastic note. I had some money left over so they gave me a gift card, with that i bought AIIIIIIIION! How awesome :) I am like only lvl 7 but i am having a blast. So much that, i haven't even downloaded WoW.
The BF is pretty stoked that i am playing it with him too!
[listens to him laugh, as he watches Smallville on his computer with his nerdy headphones on; how smexxy.]
Oh, and i am loving my job, although Shadowing is BORING because you can do NOTHING. But, hell, i get paid for it.
Update on this girls life;
Sep. 25th, 2009 06:51 amAnyways, today I start my actually training at my job from 10-4! I am so SCARED. I am scared i am going to mess up. I am scared that i am going to be expected to do things i am not sure how to do. I am scared that i am not going to be accepted. That people are going to be hostile towards me. I've never had a job so serious before. NERVOUS.=/.
On top of that my STUPID POS COMPUTER, effing broke again. GRRRRRRRR. I do not understand it! I will NEVER buy a gateway again, not that i bought this one: i will NEVER own a gateway again. So its back to the geek squad. I have no hopes of getting it back any time soon, but thats okay, because i am super busy these days.
Well, the kids are good and healthy, we are both employed, and life is great ;) HOW ARE YOU?
Sunday: A day of rest!

So yeah, i would say this is busy for someone who is lucky if she left the house once a week. I am excited, nervous, and scared.
I am incredibly lucky, because even though it took me 6 months to find a job, there are people out there who can't find a job, so i am not taking anything for granted.This is the real world, anything can happen.
zomg/headache.

We took the kids to the imagination station today, geeze it was a ton of fun! Pics to come :)
What a good day!
THINGS TO ACCOMPLISH BEFORE 09/21/2009
Sep. 15th, 2009 08:56 pmYay! I am so excited! I have waited along time and worked REALLY hard for this [Perfect attendance, HIGH honors, ACED extern, 6 month wait] to get a job in the medical field! It isn't the greatest, but you need to start somewhere, to get somewhere. Either way, i am finally very proud of myself. I go for my finger printing tomorrow, and meet with my boss Rose on Friday for paperwork, etc. And Monday morning i start my training. I will find out more on Friday when i meet with my boss. THANK YOU ALL FOR THE LOVE AND SUPPORT =)
( THINGS TO ACCOMPLISH BEFORE 09/21/2009 )
Either way, tomorrow we are putting up the sliding door set.
I am stinky and sweaty and dirty and i NEED a long hot shower :)
Big changes are to come!
Sep. 13th, 2009 01:44 pmI haven't prepared myself for the changes that are about to come! My gosh, i guess i never thought i would ever start working again. I was just "hoping" that i would get a job, i never thought i would. I never thought my schooling would pay off, never thought i would be in a good job. I never thought i would be making money, or being away from my kids for this long, or being so...busy. I am just used to sitting around the house doing a whole lot of nothing, now i am going to be BUSY like super busy. Working, cleaning, kids...i guess a "normal" life. Anyone have any tips on adjusting your body/mind? I mean: How can i get used to my new schedule without being EXHAUSTED all the time? Any tips? I have no ideas! I went and got the kids this morning then we had breakfast [BACON!] and the kids are napping and i cleaned there room, i am getting ready to pick up our room now! Even though the kids are sleeping, i should be able to be quiet :) I was getting the kids room all set up for when i leave so that everything should be able to be found easily, and people won't have to snoop :)
OK, well i guess all i wanted to do was ask the above question in red!
