A Successful Weekend I Think!

Very exciting times! I GOT THE JOB and couldn't be more excited to get started!!(Is it sick and wrong to say that about work!?) I had manage to get through all my interviews with the company and apparently I made enough of an impression to be offered the job last Thursday! Whoo hoo!! I am a mixture of excited, anxious, nervous, scared, ready, hopeful...The list truly does go on depending on the day! But I think this is a good step to making my daily life something closer to a "norm". Perhaps a challenge and a nice set routine giving me some purpose is just what I need! Life will definitely be much easier with the additional income to work with.

This weekend was also my first weekend with the step-daughters and I think it went well! I enjoyed having them and I think they had fun hanging out with me. It was a really important step to building our relationship. We played games, went shopping, watched movies, did some more shopping (I put these girls up with the best of shoppers! Whoo! I was worn out from all the walking!), etc. There was a lot of teasing back and forth (the youngest had found a movie at the store called "My Step-Mother is an Alien" and that was the running joke for the rest of the weekend! LOL!) I've been extremely worried that they wouldn't have a good time and that they wouldn't want to come back, but I think they really did have fun! My in-laws also told me that they had never seen them so happy about visiting and staying here before. That was VERY comforting to hear! I really enjoyed having them around! (Never a dull moment, TRUST ME! LOL!)

It's still a bit trying here, I'm learning and growing more confident every day and facing my fears. Sometimes I wish I were back home where life is more familiar, but then, I've always loved an adventure and a chance to learn and grow. This weekend was another one of those tests I think I passed with flying colors...

All in all, I think we can chalk up this weekend as a win eh?

It's Been Over a YEAR!!

Last I wrote, I had just moved into my current rental and was getting ready to start an temp job that turned out to be a complete and utter nightmare and end as quick as it began! Thankfully, not a month later I was able to find what is my current job and I can proudly say I have been working out for over a year now with potentials of a promotion and raise! (More details to follow, I don't want to jinx myself just yet, so if you are reading this, please send out all the positive vibes, say a prayer, lots of love and care as this girl could use the boost! Not only would this job be a great step in the right direction for me and my career, it would also put me back on a schedule that I painfully crave to have as my current schedule is a nightmare! Don't get me wrong, my job is good and pay AMAZING...Buuuuttt...The hours are ever changing from day-to-day and week-to-week that its hard to have anything of a life much less see my hubby who is working a lot of hours as well. This ...

New Years Eve...

What I should be doing is going and hanging out with friends...the roads suck, I can't stay over night because of stuff going on, and the last thing I need is any trouble driving home tired or drinking, etc. SO, I decided that just this year, I'm going to make my new years about me! Been chilling with a bottle of champaign, T.V. awesome chinese food, my kid, etc. I know it may sound lame to everyone else, but you have no idea how tired I am! I've been working like a freak'n race horse over the last couple days, I've gotta do some penny pinching because I have some expenses that HAVE to be taken care of. Half of me thinks I may regret this, the other half (including my tired, burning eyes!) are telling me that this was the greatest idea EVER! Truely everyone, this isn't me being sad, angry, emotional, or anything depressing. I'm loving life right now...but sometimes, life just gets too crazy and it leaves me physically drained! Work has been off the wall! Ton...

Better Things to Come?

So, I have officially packed, unpacked, arranged sorted, decorated, re-decorated (and so forth!) the new home!! YAY!! I absolutely LOVE the new house! It's a great size, not too big, not too small and very cozy! I honestly can see us living here for a long time! (As long as the neighbors aren't crazy! Haha!). It's a semi-dettached home with 3 bedrooms 1 full bathroom and one half bathroom. A nice little living room, dining room and kitchen as well as a back yard with a nice little porch! We have neighbors to our right and left, but none behind us, so we shouldn't bug too many people! I think the best thing about this home is that we have really been able to feel like we could settle into it and really make it our "home". Not just a "house" but a "home". I'm just so pleased beyond words! 2nd good news (and perhaps a start to better things to come!) is that I was asked to work a temp job that starts tomorrow morning! I will work with the...
