Well this sucks....

I'm writing this from my phone because yesterday our computer crashed and burned. :( Which means I'll probably be MIA for a little while. This is a huge bummer for me and I really don't know when we'll be able to afford a new computer because I also found out yesterday that my work, The Childrens Place, is closing down on the 22nd of this month. So I'll be out of work starting then (besides my weekend gig at the restaurant which def won't pay the bills around here.) So yeah, yesterday fucking sucked for us!
Anyways that's what's going on at the moment and I'll try and sneak in an update or two when I can but don't expect to see me much for a while. Love you all and see you later!

A little update

A lot's been happening lately, yet at the same time nothing has really been happening if that makes any sense haha. Basically I've been working two jobs and KILLING myself (today I worked 13 hours, fml) and on Monday I have an interview for job number three. Seriously? Where were all these offers when I was stressing out and looking every day?! I guess it just took everywhere a long time to call... Anyways, like I said, I have an interview on Monday at Waffles 'n More as a weekend server which would rule because I'd make bank and only have to work two days a week! Which would allow me the option of keeping both my other jobs and trying to coordinate a mutual day off at both, or leaving one and just sticking with two. I'm not sure what's going to happen yet since I haven't officially gotten the serving position but it's looking really positive at this point and I'm really hoping to get it! I'd rather be doing that than working two retail jobs which is what I'm doing right now. Today I only got to see Kaetana for an hour total, which is really depressing. That's another reason I'd like to get the serving job, because if I left one of my others I'd be working less total and still making the same (if not more) money so I'd be able to spend more time with her.

Know what would solve all this? If I would win the lottery!

Second job, say whaaaat?

Swimsuit purchased at The Children's Place :)

Today I got a second job! It's at The Children's Place which is pretty awesome since I shop there all the time and could totally use the discount haha. I am so happy to have been hired, and definitely feel very lucky. The manager, Di, told me that she had over 400 applicants for the position! She ended up hiring 3 of us because her assistant manager is unexpectedly having to move in a few weeks, which is sad because I met her and she seemed really nice. But oh well more opportunity for me ;) The only thing I'm not too thrilled about is it's at the mall which means I'll be spending basically every day at that place now since I also work at Hot Topic. Oh well, sweet discounts and money coming in for my family is worth it!!

Spare a vote?

ditching the baby bathtub & a new camera!

So last week I decided I was fed up with that stupid plastic baby bathtub we've been using for Kaetana. It was so frustrating trying to bathe her in it because if we put her in the reclining side she was constantly trying to sit up and ending up rolling side to side! And then the "sit up" part was just a piece of crap, way too small and it just wasn't working for us. I was nervous about putting her in the bathtub and contemplated going and getting one of those inflatable tubs but figured it would be a waste of money. So my paranoid butt got in and scrubbed the tub out (feet germs freak me out) and we just filled it with like 2" of water and she LOVED IT.

She spent the entire bath happily splashing around and playing with her toys. So awesome and a lot easier to wash her this way! I'm really happy we made the switch to the big bathtub.

Oh, remember when I talked about that company picnic for John's work on the 4th? Well they raffled off a few cool things (couple tabletop grills, an ipod, and a camera) and guess what? We won the camera! It's a Casio EX-S200 which is really nice.

I was so excited because I gave my point and shoot to an old friend a couple years ago and missed the convenience of being able to pull it out of my purse any time I wanted. It's a lot more suited to every day use and I'm really looking forward to using it. It's 14.1 megapixels too, which is great! I couldn't be happier.
