John and I have made a huge decision recently. Due to the rising cost of everything and well lets be honest folks, some not very smart decisions on our part, I will be returning to work. It kills me that I need to go back to work, but it will be good for the long run. We plan on paying down/off all of our debt with the additional salary so that I will be able to come back home full time after a year.
So I had an interview with Discover Card Services yesterday, I got there at 2pm and didn't leave that blasted building until 5:45pm! I got the job, I didn't really ever question it, but still 4 hours? I should have been paid for that! My wonderful friend watched the kids for me and now I get to find a babysitter for the kids every day for a few hours so I can go to training starting July 7th. Oh I am going to miss my babies! Anyone have a few thousand dollars laying around I could have?

Long Time No See?
Ok so I was informed that I don't blog enough. Ok I agree! Let me just tell you that I spent two hours of my life at the Drivers Licence Division of the DMV on Monday. It was a blast. After waiting in the "get a number" line for 20 minutes, I spent the next hour in the very comfortable chairs, they have lazyboys now. Didn't you know that? Anyway after freezing to death under the celing fan and air conditioner duct, I checked to make sure my number wasn't going to come up any time soon. It wasn't. I went out to my car and grabbed a notebook and a pen from my purse. I began to write a little prose about monsters, children and potty training. One day I will have to post that to the blog. It is pretty funny.
Oh yes, I just got my booth assignment of booths at westfest this year. It will be at the West Valley Rec Center the last weekend in June if you are going to be out and about, come by and say Hi. I will be tucked into the northwest corner of the booths this year.
I am also clearing out all the toys we own. I can't stand the way our family room looks after a long day of "toss the toy" that seems to be the favorite game. Emma stands at the toy boxes, yes there are boxes of toys, and tosses the toys across the room looking for her favorites. They don't understand that they need to clean up after themselves. I guess that is really my fault, because I have never instilled in them the joy of picking up. I have always done it. I take all the blame, but I just can't do it anymore. With three kids and laundry for the three kids and one husband it is a long day and I don't have the energy to clean up at night. Hey everyone, I am ready for the next kid! I have completely given up hope of ever getting on top of this housecleaning thing so why not just add one more excuse for it to be messy all the time?
Oh here is the kicker! I have to get a job. It kills me that I need one, but with the price of gas, groceries and everything else going up, we just don't have the money anymore to make it without a second income. I do get to work part time and at night once John is at home, but still I really enjoyed being a stay at home mom. If only my business would pick up and start making me some money!!!!! Anyone want to buy a bow? An embellished Tee? How about a chalk mat?
