| I know I don't sign on. And there's a very good reason. I have been getting at least about 5 hours of over time each WEEK. Not pay period, WEEK. Good on the paychecks bad on the body. Yesterday I pulled a twenty ONE hour shift. Yeah. 21 Hours straight. It sucked big time. But I pulled through. I do so love my job. I work at an assisted living house (NOT A NURSING HOME!) and I enjoy helping the residents. I do NOT love missing Keagan. Right now I'm working as much as possible to save up money. Nope, no money has been saved. I've got a ton of bills. Who knew being a grown up sucked so bad?! I got a new car and I'm pretty stoked about that. Plan A was to do the cash for clunkers deal but I got ONE mile per gallon too many to qualify. I was pretty pissed to say the least. Plan B was go in with my mom (how I hate turning to the parents for help when I'm supposed to be being "independent") and get a car. Did it. I am now in a 2000 Hyndai Elantra. Literally in it, right now. Sitting outside a gas station that has internet because I cannot afford it at home. Home....I'm about to not have one. My lease is about up and I'm having a HORRIBLE time trying to find a new place. It's driving me insane. I'm always at work. If I'm not at work I'm sleeping so I can go back to work. Keagan is so smart. I miss spending my whole day with him. Or even most of a day...most of a week? It drives me nuts. Oh, it'll get better. I'm about to start school again. Work nights, school mornings, sleep and work again. But only on mon and tues because my work schedule will be Sun, Mon, Tues and every other Saturday 10p-6a. Not too bad. Keagan will be with me a LOT more. I tell myself it's okay becuase he won't remember much of this. When he's old enough to remember, I'll be around. Done with school. Able to BE there. I'll be a nurse before he gets to Kindergarten. : ) Though I barely log on or update, I try to keep up with everyone. ;I've read most of your posts. Just never enough time in the day. . So I'm logging off..... It's time for me to head back into work. -Alyssa- | | |
| 1. I got a new job, the one I originally wanted, and love it. 2. I worked 54 hours this week and 49 last week. 3. My best friend, the only guy I was ever truly in love with, is living with me. 4. It's going better than I thought. 5. I'm -86.54 in the bank. 6. My rent is paid. 7. I was an hour and a half late for work today because I had a blow out. $70 dollars I didn't have. 8. I'm tired. I'm always tired. 9. Keagan is two. 10. He can say: Bubbles, Mommy, Shoes, Mine, Please, Thank You, Huh uh, Uh huh, Nanna, Nana, Nani, Nene, Papa, Uncle, baby, night night, bye bye, hi, cup, tea, milk, bobo, eyes, ears, hair, nun (nose), uh oh, 11. I have to find and get into a house in about a month. 12. I'm scared. 13. I'm pretty sure I'm the worst mom ever. 14. This is the end because Keagan wants to blow "bubbles, MOMMY, My bubbles" :) | | |
| Hey guys,
I know you're all DYING to know how my first day went (ok so you're not but I'm going to tell ya anyway).
I went in at eleven this morning. Things started out well enough...and then I signed in. hahaha. No, seriously. My first few hours I was just assigned people to follow and watch&learn. Wouldn't be too bad by my main chick, Amber, walks about the same pace I'd jog (or run if I ran) so that was a bit strenuous. Apparently Amber is the head of the stocking/sign making/plannegram making and checking team. Above her is Jackie and I think a woman named Dorothy is above her with a man, "Sir", as top dog. I never got his name, everyone just called him "sir". So there it is. All my bosses.
Jackie had me doing plannegram check ups. Basically she gave me a stack of papers in a box and I had to look at what each packet was for, find it, and make sure the signing off was up to date. Or in other words, the people before me had actually looked at the plannegram itself and said it was done right. So that took forever and a freakin day.
All day was running, walking, reaching, tip toe-ing, and stacking.. Make the signs, put them where they go, fill those empty spots, why aren't these signs right?, where are the signs for the thing -- you know -- oh nevermind. Yeah... hectic
I worked seven hours today. No breaks. I'm scheduled for like thirty hours already. Making 37 hours total by the end of this week. I'm not sure what minimum wage is right now but I'm pretty confident that my checks will be alright. Keagan is getting so smart and growing up so fast. I hate to spend any more time away from him than I already am but I'd prefer we keep a roof over our heads. I have pictures but no energy to post....
I'm tired. I need to do homework but I'm going to do it all tomorrow. I'm headed to bed. Finals are Tuesday!

| And I'm awake. At a convenient store. Updating...FINALLY. I've had several problems lately. I've gone completely broke
Found out the alignment on my front tires is bad
Also my ball joint on my driverside tire
I've gotten stopped more in the last two weeks than in all my life
My harddrive crashed and burned to a crisp making me have to order another one and redo several homework assignments because I don't back up my files.
Keagan's getting either worse allergies or the allergies have morphed into an illness. Fun.
I can't find a job with my life depending on it
And finals are coming up. You know what finals stands for right? Fuck. I. Never. Actually. Learned this. Shit. Seriously.
But I'm up and running now and I'm alright. Mourning the 2,000+ songs that I've lost and the 100s of pictures as well. Peace, Love, and Stuff...

At McDonald's First time to play on it
Sliding, though you can't tell because of how I had the camera
Out of focus, but this is his idea of a smile
You say "smile" and this is what he does
Sliding again
Going outside.
Mommy and Keagan
Kisses. Even though he comes at you like this, he now shuts his mouth and makes the kiss noise. Then opens back up like this. Pretty much like a really big kiss. It's cute.
No time for an update. | | |
