Rambling On

Oh… the memories

Last night my husband and I were looking through the pictures on our camcorder and I have to say that I absolutely loved it. There were so many pictures on it that I had completely forgot about. There was a lot of pictures of the kids when they were quite a bit smaller and it was nice to sit back and replay all the memories in my head. Life gets so busy these days, that sometimes it’s just best to sit back and enjoy the memories. Kids don’t stay small for very long, so this was actually quite nice just to sit back and remember the days when they were so little.

I’m almost nuts!

Here it is only 10:00 am on a Monday morning, and I’m just about completely nuts!! My children are home from school today due to weather issues and they haven’t stopped fighting since 7:00 am this morning. Nothing…. and I mean nothing I have said to them have made a difference. I’ve even put them both in their rooms for a little time out and they still continue to fight through the walls. I really hope the roads are clear tomorrow, or I really may end up in the nut house.

Have a great weekend!

Sick kid

Well once again I have a sick kid at my house. I don’t know if this child gets sick so much because of the sever change in temperature that we seem to get or possibly I need to invest in an air filter to clear the air in this house. But it seems like this child gets sick all the time. Thankfully it’s the weekend so he will have three days to recover. But I still feel bad for him. He gets the flue more than anybody I know.

Possible career change

Most of you may not know this, but I work outside the home as a waitress at a very busy family restaurant. Now most days I absolutely love my job, but physically it is getting kind of hard on me. I am on my feet constantly and most days am running around the restaurant as opposed to walking. This is why I have decided that this may be the time for me to make a career change.

I have decided to check out an online university to see what type of career change I may be interested in. I discovered a site over at Western Governors University which offers a lot of online courses that I could possibly be interested in. One of the courses that I have been heavily checking out is their bachelors degree online, and so far I like what I see. Not only are the classes done completely online (which eliminates travel time), but their professors are some of the best in their field. And when it’s all said and done, I will have a degree that is highly recognized in the industry. So… while I’m still making up my mind on whether this will be a good move for me, I will continue to check out this site a little more closely.

I was asked to check out this website and give my honest opinion of Western Governors University, for which I’m receiving cash compensation.

I took a night off

Normally I work every Tuesday night. But this week I offered my shift to another girl who didn’t have a lot of hours this week and took the night off. It was a good thing that I did this actually. Yesterday I ended up with the worst headache that I’ve had in a long time and I really don’t think I would have been able to work anyway. But after a great night’s sleep, I’m back to 100% today. I have to go back to work tomorrow, but I think after another good night’s sleep tonight I will be ready for that shift. But it was still nice to take the night off even if I wasn’t feeling the best.

I wish I had his energy

My youngest son is only 9, but he has the energy of a kid twice his size and age. Man… I wish I had some of his energy. This kid did not go to sleep last night until after 11:00 pm and this morning, you would swear to god that he got 12 hours sleep. He was wired for sound this morning. I wish I knew his secret. I eat right, avoid most medications (so I don’t have to worry about any side effects of adipril), and try to get a decent amount of sleep. But I still don’t have the energy this kid has. Maybe one of these days he’ll let me in on his little secret.

Monday morning blues

God I hate Mondays! I work every weekend so nothing around here gets done. And…. I mean nothing! That’s means it’s all left to me to do every Monday morning. Well it’s Monday again, so you all know what that means. That means tons and tons of work for me to do. I have loads of dishes, loads of laundry and I need to vacuum and dust the living room. By the looks of my cleaning list, I’m not even going to get a start on the article about fda approved diet pills that I need to have ready for a client by Wednesday.

Have I mentioned lately that I hate Mondays?!

Transcription testing

So many of you may not be aware of this, but part of the way that I earn a little bit of income each month is by doing some online transcribing for companies. Most months I do pretty good with this, but I am constantly looking for new companies to test with and possibly work with. Last month I did a test for a company about natural colon cleansing but I haven’t heard a word back from them. This has me extremely frustrated. If I didn’t get the job, then that’s fine. But I would at least like to know. I guess I’m going to have to give up on this particular company and just start applying at other ones. So I guess in this case, no news, is not good news.

The weekend is finally here!
