I Got What I Wanted...In Double!

The last couple weeks have been absolute madness for me! My week right now consists of getting up in the morning at 5:15 a.m. to get ready for work, leave the house at 6:40 a.m. so that I can get on with my hour and a half trip to the corporate office to start work at 8:30, which goes till 5:30 p.m. in which I pack up my gear and head home for another hour to hour and a half trip back home (which usually has me back home for between 7-7:30 p.m.). All in all, it makes for a REALLY long day! Talk about getting what you asked for right!?

I do like my new job though! The company treats me well, my manager is awesome, and I feel once I really get comfortable in my own skin with doing the work, I will really come to enjoy the job a lot! :) It's a lot of work to start with, but once I get caught up and settled, it's going to be fun!

By the time I hit the weekends though, I'm soo thoroughly exhausted that I just don't feel like doing anything! I know that will change when I'm not driving to corporate for training every day (which will make my days drastically shorter!) but for now, my life has taken a real social hit! (Well, the limited social life I have anyways!

More up-beat news for me is that my wonderful hubby had heard that a few of the day-shift only people have put in for retirement and my husband put in a word with the boss to see if he couldn't fill one of those positions! It's great because that means he will get to come home at night! It sucks because it means a pay drop since he's not living out on the road all week. But honestly, I would rather have the pay drop and actually get to spend more than a day and a half with my husband than to keep on the path we are on now where he's gone 5 days a week straight. So I'm praying that goes through! With me working, we will be just fine anyways.

Last news, I went last night to watch my friends daughters dance in what I thought was going to be just a cute little dance recital...Little did I know that this was going to be an fully loaded show with lights and fire and sparks and some of the most amazing dancing I've ever seen! I was extremely impressed with the production and the level of talent at this show! There were mixes of tap, river dancing, beautiful ballet, hip hop, 50's and interpretive dance. The ages ranges were from 3yrs to 40's. I felt such a thrill of excitement and longing for the days when I was performing on stage dancing and singing and acting. I really miss it! It was a good feeling to have though...kind of like an awakening! Perhaps sometime soon I can re-join the world of dance or performance of some sort, but for now, I need to set my priorities to what needs to be done to get back to an even playing field.

I look forward to later days this year, I have a feeling more exciting things are to come! Keep you posted!!

Live, Laugh, Love.

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.

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...
