A couple weeks ago I was frantic with finding a new job. Taking pictures of cars in all sorts of weather just wasn’t cutting it. I threw out my ambitions of being a professional web designer, because I really don’t like designing for people anyway and I even quit school, for now. I had to pull myself up by my bootstraps and get a job. And boy did I.

I am making good money and I move a lot. Yes I am happy with that. I was always at the computer, now I just read the news. I hate sitting all the time, it messes up my back, and I gain weight x;(. The job consists of Shipping and Receiving, what I used to do. Plus I get to utilize my background (kinda) in Semiconductor and Electronics. So I will be blogging about me, my family, pets and well, just normal stuff and normal life.

I’ll have my weekends back and my evenings with my family. We also had to give up homeschooling, which is disappointing, but we wouldn’t be able to carry on with that. Although I still can’t stand this school district, I hope there is a good elementary school SOMEWHERE around here. The kiddo will be back in public school by next week.

I am happy now. I have a job I like and can tolerate, I am making good money and we can pay bills AND have fun again. x;)

I had to make myself get out of bed this morning. But I did get out of bed… I pryed myself out, threw coffee down my throat and proceeded to holler at animals, rattle on nervously about the day ahead of me and anxiously, shower. I had gotten a brief charge out of going out today. But thats the exhibitionist in me, which was quickly squashed by the nervous wreck in me. So, it made for an interesting day.

My daughter was along for the ride and she keeps me sane and occupied as if the work wasn’t enough. Oh yes… lets add that to my list of weird things… parenting at work. I know a lot of us women do it these days, but when I got to talk through my teeth at my kid because she is out towards the side walk when she should be closer to the  inside of the car lot. Or because she is in the way of a picture of a car i’m trying to take, or because shes just farting around. It keeps my mind off the crap that has me down. Seriously. x:|

We get to stay home tomorrow because its going to rain like the end times and I’m ready for it!

Well tomorrow (sept 13th) is my 31st birthday. I freaked out when I turned 30 and on top of that I had MAJOR drama going on at the time. What a difference a year makes. I am now married, have a new car and a new apartment. I start school up again on my birthday which is a slight drag, but essential nonetheless. I feel better than I did a year ago becasue it has almost been a year (on sept 25th) that I stopped the sauce. I really don’t want to look old before my time.

I know I keep talking about my daughter posting here and she will soon! We have been so busy and the poor girl is getting used to her new school, wearing uniforms, doing HW and she come with me to work sometimes. So I think she might post on here this evening.

So we brought our last family member over from the old house last night. Our bunny Diavolina. She is a BIG white bunny. We went and bought her a brand new cage and saw shavings last night. She was the easiest to transport. A lot easier than the noisy cats. I have to put up a picture of her. She is really cute.

Anyway I am staying home all day today to clean and organize this damned apartment. I’ll be hopped up on coffee and probably betchy by the end of the day…. whats new really?

This is Jack or Captain Jack Sparrow. He has a lot of nick names; Catfish Jack, Radiator Jack, Magic Jack (because he got in to the house 3 nights i a row and we weren’t quite sure how.) and Yes sometimes he is Jackass.

He was born August 5th 2006. Today is his first birthday. I have actually given Jack to my mom, but I keep him here because she can’t have him at my brother’s place. He is the son to a black cat I used to own. Without further ado…

Happy Birthday Jack!

yes her name is Tonks. She is the celebrity around our house and soon she will be in your house too. Well perhaps not my cat, but for those of you that don’t read harry potter books, but see the movies, you will know who Tonks is soon.

Anyways Tonks is also know as Tonksy Wonksy, Fat Mamma Cat, and “I can’t believe it” don’t ask, I can’t explain it….

yes I know its a shitty photo, but it is entertaining nonetheless.
